But besides this, Apion objects to us thus: "If the Jews (says
he) be citizens of Alexandria, why do they not worship the same gods with
the Alexandrians?" To which I give this answer: Since you are yourselves
Egyptians, why do you fight it out one against another, and have implacable
wars about your religion? At this rate we must he nature of all men
seems to be one and the same. Now if there be such differences in opinion
among you Egyptians, why are you surprised that those who came to Alexandria
from another country, and had original laws of their own before, should
persevere in the observance of those laws? But still he charges us with
being the author nce we are known to be all of one mind.
Moreover, those that search into such matters will soon discover that the
authors of sedition have been such citizens of Alexandria as Apion is;
for while they were the Grecians and Macedonians who were ill possession
of this city, there was no sedition raised against us, and we were permitt

However, Apion deserves to be admired for his great prudence, as
to what I am going to say, which is this," That there is a plain mark
among us, that we neither have just laws, nor worship God as we ought to
do, because we are not governors, but are rather in subjection to Gentiles,
sometimes to one nation, and sometimes to another; and that our city hath
been liable to several calamities, while their city [Alexandria] hath been
of old time an imperial city, and not used to be in subjection to the Romans."
But now this man had better leave off this bragging, for every body but
himself would think that Apion said what he hath said against himself;
for there are very few nations that have had the good fortune to continue
many generations in the principality, but still the mutations in human
affairs have put them into subjection under others; and most nations have
been often subdued, and brought into subjection by others. Now for the
Egyptians, perhaps they are the only nation that have h

Byzantium, Rhodes, and Prusias Treaties
But seeing the confident spirit of the Byzantines, the
The Rhodians secure the friendship of Achaeus.
Rhodians adopted an exceedingly able plan to
obtain their object. They perceived that the
resolution of the Byzantines in venturing on
the war rested mainly on their hopes of the
support of Achaeus. Now they knew that the father of
Achaeus was detained at Alexandria, and that Achaeus was
exceedingly anxious for his father's safety: they therefore hit
upon the idea of sending an embassy to Ptolemy, and asking
him to deliver this Andromachus to them. This request,
indeed, they had before made, but without laying any great
stress upon it: now, however, they were genuinely anxious for
it; that, by doing this favour to Achaeus, they might lay him
under such an obligation to them, that he would be unable to
refuse any request they might make to him. When the
ambassadors arrived, Ptolemy at first deliberated as to detaining Andromachus; because there s
