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 XXXVIIa
B.C.63
The account of the appointment of Hyrcanus the son of Alexander to be king of the Jews, and of the return to Rome of the general of the Roman army.
Having arranged these matters, Pompey appointed Hyrcanus to be kingb; and carried away his brother Aristobulus in chains: he also ordered that the Jews should have no dominionc over those nations who had been subdued by their kings before his arrival; and he exacted a tribute from the city of the Holy House; and covenanted with Hyrcanus, that he should receive inauguration from the Romans every year. And he departedd, taking with him Aristobulus, and two of his sons, and his daughters: and he had a son remaining, named Alexander, whom Pompey could not seize,
because he had fled. So, Pompey placed in his room in the city of the Holy House, Hyrcanus, and Antipater, and with them his own colleague Scaurus.
