However, at another time, when Antiochus was gone upon an expedition
against the Medes, and so gave Hyrcanus an opportunity of being revenged
upon him, he immediately made an attack upon the cities of Syria, as thinking,
what proved to be the case with them, that he should find them empty of
god troops. So he took Medaba and Samea, with the towns in their neighborhood,
as also Shechem, and Gerizzim; and besides these, [he subdued] the nation
of the Cutheans, who dwelt round about that temple which was built in imitation
of the temple at Jerusalem; he also took a great many other cities of Idumea,
with Adoreon and Marissa.
