  Research Notes:

[During] the struggle to reach the Euxine Sea, the Mithridatids achieved a great success — in the 260s BC Ariobarzanes, son and successor of Mithridates I, managed to get possession of the city of Amastria, an important harbour on the coast, which Heraclea Pontica was also eager to have (Memn. XVI). This city was in fact given away to Pontus by Eumenes, brother of Philetaerus, presumably as a result of a rapprochement between the Mithridatids and Pergamum. ¹
