A mouth of marbles edit

The text is nearly unreadable and is entirely unusable. I assume that the article's referring to the Seleucid empire as "king of Asia" and that the whole article is about the machinations of the Hellenistic fluctuations of power during the battles between the Seleucids, Ptolemies, Pergamum, and the Aegean League. However, except for a vague reference to the subject being SOME time in the 300's, there is no way to locate him in place.

I would be tempted to say that the subject fails "notability," except, of course, that it doesn't. It merely does so when written with a mouth full of marbles and a head full of smoke. Ordinarily, I would turn some of the passive voice constructions to active voice, but that's hard when the nouns and verbs are unmoored in place and time.
