EUMENES, King of Bithynia and Pergamus, spoken of in the first book of Maccabees, chap. viii. 8. Having joined his with the Roman arms, in the war made by this people against Antiochus the Great, he received for his reward the country of the Indians, Medes, and Lydians. Thus the text of the Maccabees; but it is very probable that we should read, the Ionians, Mysians, and Lydians. See our Comment on 1 Macc. viii. 8.
