E ai ki a Polyaenus, i te 227 BC i rerenga te kingi whakakeke Seleucid a Antiochus Hierax ki te rohe o Armenia i whakahaerehia e Kingi Arsames, kaiwhakaara o te taone nui o Arsamosata. I te mutunga o te 212 BC i wehea te whenua ki nga kingitanga e rua, ko nga whenua e rua o nga Seleucids: Greater Armenia me Armenia Sophene, tae atu ki a Commagene, Armenia Minor ranei. I whakatau a Antiochus III te Nui ki te whakakore i nga whare rangatira o te rohe, ka whakapaea a Arsamosata. Ko Xerxes, te rangatira o Sophene me Commagene, i tuku me te tono ki te kingi, i whakaaetia e ia hei rangatira. I hoatu e Anatioka tana tuahine, a Anatioka, hei wahine ki a Hehereke; ka whakamatea ia e ia i muri mai. I whakahaeretia a Great Armenia e tetahi uri Orontid o Hydarnes, te rangatira Orontid whakamutunga o Greater Armenia (Strabo xi.14.15); i kitea ia i raro i a Antiochus III te Nui, i wehewehea ai te whenua i waenga i ana rangatira rangatira Artaxias (Artashes) me Zariadres (Zareh), e kii ana i te uri o te whanau Orontid.  Pātai: I pēhea a Armenia i pupuri ai i tōna mana motuhake i raro i te Emepaea Seleucid?
