But when Demetrius was departed out of Judea, he went to Berea, and
besieged his brother Philip, having with him ten thousand footmen, and
a thousand horsemen. However Strato, the tyrant of Berea, the confederate
of Philip, called in Zizon, the ruler of the Arabian tribes, and Mithridates
Sinax, the ruler of the Parthians, who coming with a great number of forces,
and besieging Demetrius in his encampment, into which they had driven them
with their arrows, they compelled those that were with him by thirst to
deliver up themselves. So they took a great many spoils out of that country,
and Demetrius himself, whom they sent to Mithridates, who was then king
of Parthis; but as to those whom they took captives of the people of Antioch,
they restored them to the Antiochinus without any reward. Now Mithridates,
the king of Parthis, had Demetrius in great honor, till Demetrius ended
his life by sickness. So Philip, presently after the fight was over, came
to Antioch, and took it, and reigned over Syria.
