The conquest by Dhamma is considered by me the best conquest. And this has been won by me both here and on the borders, even as far as six hundred yojanas, where the Yavana king named Antiochus rules, and beyond that Antiochus, where the four kings named Ptolemy, Antigonus, Magas, and Alexander rule.
