THE FIFTH BOOK OF MACCABEES:
CONTAINING A RECORD OF EVENTS FROM THE TRANSLATION OF THE HEBREW SCRIPTURES INTO GREEK UNDER PTOLEMY PHILADELPHUS, (B.C. 277,) TO THE DEATH OF HEROD’s TWO SONS, IN THE FIFTH OR SIXTH YEAR BEFORE CHRIST.
CHAPTER XXXVIIIa
B.C.62
The history of Alexander the son of Aristdbulus.
When Pompey had set out for Rome, Hyrcanus and Antipater marched against the Arabians, to bring them under the dominion of the Romans. To which the Arabians submitted, trusting to their intimacy with Antipater, and paying great regard to his advice; by which acts Antipater designed to reconcile the Romans to him. Therefore, when Alexander the son of Aristobulus perceived the expedition of Hyrcanus, Antipater, and Scaurus, against the Arabians, and that they had departed to a great distance from the Holy City; he journeyed till he arrived there; and entering into the palace, he brought out thence money for the expense of repairing the city-wall which Pompey had broken down. And he raised for himself an army, and arranged all those matters which he wished, before Hyrcanus and his party should return to the city of the Holy House: and when they returned, he went out to meet them, and engaged them, and put them to flight.
