Since the senate needs to approve of any territorial transfer, I propose this motion:

Motion 10.1: This house authorizes the First Consul to sell or give away Debeltos upon its capture to any neutral nation.

On the issue of Byzantium, I believe we should capture it. I don't believe that this will drag us into an immedate war with Ptolemy, assuming we don't get into one anyway. I propose the following:

Motion 10.2: This house instructs the First Consul to conquer Byzantium.

According to the Consul's latest report, Ptolemy has aligned himself against us by allying with Thrace, our enemy, and Iberia, a potential enemy and rival. Further, he threatens to upset the balance of power in the east, as first argued here. It is for those two reasons that I believe that we should support his rival, the Seleucid Empire. To that end I propose these motions:

Motion 10.3: This house instructs and authorizes the First Consul to seek an alliance with the Seleucid Empire.

Motion 10.4: If Byzantium is captured, this house instructs the First Consul to finish off the Greeks by taking also Nicomedia, and authorizes him to give Nicomedia back to the Seleucid Empire (from whom it was taken).
