"A monumental compendium. . . . In discussing the impact of Persian rule on Hellenistic Asia Minor I have wandered far from the topic of Cohen's book, but that it can excite such considerations shows how enormously rich and far-reaching this book is and how much grist it contains for new research and new questions. . . . [It] will become a standard reference work for the next generation of Hellenistic historians; it can also serve as a model for the distillation and presentation of a massive, scattered, and difficult body of evidence and scholarship on one of the most difficult, but surely most important, aspects of Hellenistic civilization."—Bryn Mawr Clasical Review
"A major piece of scholarship. It will be constantly consulted and will take a place among the leading reference works available to the growing number of scholars and students now working on the Hellenistic age."—American Journal of Archaeology
"An important work for professional classicists and historians interested in Hellenistic cities, city founding, and political history. Indeed, [it] will become the standard reference work on Hellenistic city foundations."—History

The scholarship is superior in every respect."—Stanley Burstein, California State University, Los Angeles
