263 BCE, spring
As Timon Arrhidaeos and his army moved into Tadmor and besieged Palmyra, the Seleucids sent a small army to aid the city. Not willing to fight two armies at once, Timon lifted the siege and attacked the Seleucid army in the field. No match for a complete army, the Seleucid forces were crushed.
