Passage 1.16.3
Σέλευκον δὲ βασιλέων ἐν τοῖς μάλιστα πείθομαι καὶ ἄλλως γενέσθαι δίκαιον καὶ πρὸς τὸ θεῖον εὐσεβῆ. τοῦτο μὲν γὰρ Σέλευκός ἐστιν ὁ Μιλησίοις τὸν χαλκοῦν καταπέμψας Ἀπόλλωνα ἐς Βραγχίδας, ἀνακομισθέντα ἐς Ἐκβάτανα τὰ Μηδικὰ ὑπὸ Ξέρξου· τοῦτο δὲ Σελεύκειαν οἰκίσας ἐπὶ Τίγρητι ποταμῷ καὶ Βαβυλωνίους οὗτος ἐπαγόμενος ἐς αὐτὴν συνοίκους ὑπελ ε ίπετο μὲν τὸ τεῖχος Βαβυλῶνος, ὑπελ ε ίπετο δὲ. τοῦ Βὴλ τὸ ἱερὸν καὶ περὶ αὐτὸ τοὺς Χαλδαίους οἰκεῖν.
Among kings, I am particularly inclined to believe that Seleucus was both just in character and pious toward the divine. For it was Seleucus who restored to the Milesians the bronze Apollo at Branchidae, originally carried off by Xerxes to Ecbatana in Media. It was also Seleucus who built Seleucia beside the river Tigris and transferred the Babylonians to inhabit it. Nevertheless, he permitted the wall of Babylon itself to remain, and allowed the sanctuary of Bel, together with the Chaldeans living around it, to continue there.
