[6][7] From the description of Hesychius and the epigraphy, it is evident that Peliganes played a more significant role in Seleucids than Macedon.
The Seleucid cliché phrase was: δεδόχθαι τοῖς πελιγᾶσιν (dedochthai tois peligasin), "having been resolved by the peliganes"The Macedonian supreme body was called Synedrion.
[8] Other Seleucid institutions were the Archontes, Demos, Proboule, Boule, Epistatai (supervisors) and Dikastai (judges).
[9] Strabo cites the word as Peligones, meaning the senators of both Macedonians, Thesprotians and Molossians and compares them to Gerontes (Gerousia) of Laconians and Massaliotes.
[17] Polybius[18] mentions Adeiganes for the council, magistrates of Seleucia, (who were banished, fined and exiled by the minister Hermeias); a word unattested in epigraphy and other sources.
