But Alexander marched again to the city Dios, and took it; and then
made an expedition against Essa, where was the best part of Zeno's treasures,
and there he encompassed the place with three walls; and when he had taken
the city by fighting, he marched to Golan and Seleucia; and when he had
taken these cities, he, besides them, took that valley which is called
The Valley of Antiochus, as also the fortress of Gamala. He also
accused Demetrius, who was governor of those places, of many crimes, and
turned him out; and after he had spent three years in this war, he returned
to his own country, when the Jews joyfully received him upon this his good
success.
