馬加比四書的作者曾提到有一位國王被成為塞琉古·尼卡諾爾,但是沒有一位塞琉古國王的王室稱號是「尼卡諾爾」(Nicanor),因此學術界大都認為是馬加比四書的作者這一方搞了個錯誤[29]。然而歷史學者馬菲斯·登·杜克(Matthijs den Dulk)建議這不該視為錯誤,因為馬加比四書所有的希臘手抄本,除了一個以外,都是用「尼卡諾爾」,而敘利亞文的手抄本都是用「尼卡托爾」(Nicator)。儘管塞琉古諸王之中使用「尼卡托爾」,含義即「勝利者」,作為官方王室稱號僅有塞琉古一世和塞琉古六世倆人,但依些古代歷史學家如波利比烏斯、約瑟夫斯和波菲利等也用「尼卡托爾」一名來提起塞琉古一世[30]。歷史學者揚·威廉·韓頓(Jan Willem van Henten)猜測馬加比四書提到的這位國王是塞琉古六世而不是塞琉古一世,但學者馬菲斯·登·杜克對這假設持反對意見,因為馬加比四書作者提到的這位國王的統治年份在猶太大祭司敖尼雅三世(Onias III)之前,而敖尼雅三世的年代與塞琉古六世之時差了將近一個世紀,因此很難把塞琉古·尼卡諾爾與塞琉古六世視為同一個人[31]。
對於德米特里二世的案例中,不同的學者提出了幾種不同的解釋。學者R·R·R·史密斯(英语:R. R. R. Smith)和學者羅伯特·弗萊舍(Robert Fleischer)猜測這是代表希臘神祇戴歐尼修斯,而學者尼克勞斯·杜爾(Niklaus Dürr)推測這個短角代表小牝牛,象徵為希臘神話中的寧芙仙女伊俄。學者湯瑪斯·費歇爾(德语:Thomas Fischer (Althistoriker))和學者凱·埃林(Kay Ehling)則考慮到這可能暗示與王朝的建立者塞琉古一世有關[34]。錢幣學者歐立佛·胡佛和亞瑟·霍頓則認為這是神靈附屬物的象徵,是德米特里二世以其先祖塞琉古一世、塞琉古二世、安條克三世為例,所創出使用的[35]。
近代義大利錢幣學者尼古拉·弗朗切斯科·哈因(英语:Nicola Francesco Haym)基於塞琉古六世的錢幣資料,認為他統治的北敘利亞的部份其疆域超過幼發拉底河而來到底格里斯河畔,並持有城市尼西比斯。哈因是透過分析錢幣上的花押來得此結論,其中他認為一種花押來自尼西比斯城[53],然而現代錢幣學者如亞瑟·霍頓等認為這種花押其實來自卡利卡德努斯河畔塞琉西亞,它不屬於尼西比斯[54]。在前129年安條克七世與安息帝國爭奪東方行省兵敗以後,塞琉古王國的疆界退到敘利亞幼發拉底河東岸[55],安息也以該河作為國土西界,並保有奧斯若恩地區[56]。
