[10] Eumelos led a series of campaigns against pirates in the eastern regions of the Black Sea—most likely the Tauri, the Heniochi and several others—and was able to destroy them.
[11] He also took back the settlement of Tanais, which was abandoned due to continuous sieges from local tribes[12] and made his kingdom large enough to rival that of Lysimachus.
