Sources questions

[Mithradates VI]

What source, exactly does the statement about the grape-syrup, figs, and the sophist in "The Year in History-267 BC" come from?

I really, REALLY could use that for my paper I'm working on for trade in the Hellenistic world...

Also, does anyone have any sources on what was traded from Armenia and the Caucuses during this time? That's another gaping hole I have...

Caucuses, some gold?

Well, a lot more than just gold.

Gold, Iron, Tin, Silver, Grain, Livestock, Wine, Wood, Horses. I'll see if I can find something concrete for ya.

Sure there is something concrete and hardly any need for digging it up yourself. If you take your time to search through the descriptions of all the traits related to the works of Strabo (periergsis x etc. etc.) you will find plenty of information concerning resources.

This is the secret reason why I'm playing a Seleucid Campaign :-D

Naw, the excerpt on Kolchis has a lot...but Haysadan, not so much. However, this leads to another question--what, exactly, is the "Armenian Color" that's mentioned? I've only heard about it in Strabo...

Also, could really use the source for the sophists/grape syrup. It fills a gap I have between Seleucid rule and Bactrian rule of the region about trade and trade routes.

Could the 'Armenian colour' be the apricot that's mentioned on the loading screen as the Hayasdan royal colour? Either that, or it could be light blue, if Strabo played EB. :)
