Antigonus, son of Menophilus was a Seleucid official (nauarchos).
The inscription of Antigonus was found in 1963 on a marble block which was part of the Gotenmauer wall in Miletus.
[note 1][4] In the view of Peter Herrmann, the re-used block came from the necropolis of the city.
[5] The first two lines read:[6] Ἀντίγονος Μηνοφίλου ὁ γενόμενος ναύαρχος Ἀλε-ξάνδρου τοῦ Συρίας βασιλέως· Antígonos Mēnophílou ho genómenos naúarchos Ale-xándrou toû Syrías Basiléо̄s.
[7] Those designations were understood by traditional scholarship as mockery that emphasized the loss of Seleucid lands outside Syria; the inscription of Antigonus, a Seleucid official of the highest rank, proved that the geographical association of the Seleucids with the kingdom of Syria came from the dynasty's own self-representation.
