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 XXIVa
B.C. 105
The history of Lythras the son of Cleopatra, and of his marching out against his mother. In Egypt.
Lythras the son of Cleopatra, having become strong in goods and in men, revolted from Cleopatra his mother; the chief men of the kingdom being his abettors. Therefore Cleopatra, having sent for two Jews, one of whom was called Chelcias, and the other Hananiasb, placed them at the head of those princes of Egypt who remained on her side, and made them both generals of the Egyptian army. Now they managed all matters well with the common people and conducted the affairs of the empire with wisdom. Then Cleopatra sent to fight with Lythras; who going to him made war and routed him, putting his men to flight and he fled to Cyprus, and there remained, with a few who adhered to him.
