Sebaste (Turkey) (search for this): book 1, section 64
He also proceeded as far as Samaria, where is now the city Sebaste,
which was built by Herod the king, and encompassed it all round with a
wall, and set his sons, Aristobulus and Antigonus, over the siege; who
pushed it on so hard, that a famine so far prevailed within the city, that
they were forced to eat what never was esteemed food. They also invited
Antiochus, who was called Cyzicenus, to come to their assistance; whereupon
he got ready, and complied with their invitation, but was beaten by Aristobulus
and Antigonus; and indeed he was pursued as far as Scythopolis by these
brethren, and fled away from them. So they returned back to Samaria, and
shut the multitude again within the wall; and when they had taken the city,
they demolished it, and made slaves of its inhabitants. And as they had
still great success in their undertakings, they did not suffer their zeal
to cool, but marched with an army as far as Scythopolis, and made an incursion
upon it, and laid waste all the country
