In all the cities in the intervening countries he left large garrisons of '''Greek soldiers'''. In many of these countries he founded flourishing new cities. In every place his soldiers were followed by large colonies of Greek civilians. The result was that the whole of western Asia, and of what we call the Near East, including Asia Minor Egypt, Palestine, Syria, Babylonia, Mesopotamia, Persia, and northwestern India, was saturated with the '''Greek''' influence and with '''Greek''' colonies"
