[40] ῎ηδη δ᾽ οὖν φανερῶς τυραννουμένης τῆς Ἰουδαίας πρῶτος ἀνθ᾽ ἱερέως ἀνέδειξεν ἑαυτὸν βασιλέα Ἀλέξανδρος: τούτου δ᾽ ἦσαν υἱοὶ Ὑρκανός τε καὶ Ἀριστόβουλος: διαφερομένων δὲ περὶ τῆς ἀρχῆς, ἐπῆλθε Πομπήιος καὶ κατέλυσεν αὐτοὺς καὶ τὰ ἐρύματα αὐτῶν κατέσπασε καὶ αὐτὰ ἐν πρώτοις τὰ Ἱεροσόλυμα βίᾳ καταλαβών: ἦν γὰρ πετρῶδες καὶ εὐερκὲς ἔρυμα, ἐντὸς μὲν εὔυδρον ἐκτὸς δὲ παντελῶς διψηρόν, τάφρον λατομητὴν ἔχον βάθος μὲν ἑξήκοντα ποδῶν, πλάτος δὲ πεντήκοντα καὶ διακοσίων: ἐκ δὲ τοῦ λίθου τοῦ λατομηθέντος ἐπεπύργωτο τὸ τεῖχος τοῦ ἱεροῦ. κατελάβετο δ᾽, ὥς φασι, τηρήσας τὴν τῆς νηστείας ἡμέραν, ἡνίκα ἀπείχοντο οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι παντὸς ἔργου, πληρώσας τὴν τάφρον καὶ ἐπιβαλὼν τὰς διαβάθρας: κατασπάσαι δ᾽ οὖν ἐκέλευσε τὰ τείχη πάντα καὶ ἀνεῖλεν εἰς δύναμιν τὰ λῃστήρια καὶ τὰ γαζοφυλάκια τῶν τυράννων. ἦν δὲ δύο μὲν τὰ ταῖς εἰσβολαῖς ἐπικείμενα τοῦ Ἱερικοῦντος Θρήξ τε καὶ Ταῦρος, ἄλλα δὲ Ἀλεξάνδριόν τε καὶ Ὑρκάνιον καὶ Μαχαιροῦς καὶ Λυσιὰς καὶ τὰ περὶ τὴν Φιλαδέλφειαν καὶ ἡ περὶ Γαλιλαίαν Σκυθόπολις.
