NOW there was a certain commander of Alexander's forces, an Apanemian
by birth, whose name was Diodotus, and was also called Trypho, took notice
the ill-will of the soldiers bare to Demetrius, and went to Malchus the
Arabian, who brought up Antiochus, the son of Alexander, and told him what
ill-will the army bare Demetrius, and persuaded him to give him Antiochus,
because he would make him king, and recover to him the kingdom of his father.
Malchus at the first opposed him in this attempt, because he could not
believe him; but when Trypho lay hard at him for a long time, he over-persuaded
him to comply with Trypho's intentions and entreaties. And this was the
state Trypho was now in.
