Ukongeza, inokubonelela ngobungqina bezithethe zokungcwaba ezingaziwayo ukusuka kweli xesha. Ngaphambili kwakule ndawo, abembi bezinto zakudala bafumana ezinye izinto ezixabisekileyo ezifana nemifanekiso yobhedu yoothixo bamaGrike, isibingelelo samatye, umphezulu wentsika kunye nezinto ezenziwe ngodongwe. Ngendlela, abembi bezinto zakudala abavumi ukuba ngaphambi kokuba amaSeleucids afike kule ndawo kusenokwenzeka ukuba kwakukho indawo yokuhlala yakudala.
