[223]
As Antlochuswas now come to Seleucia, and his forces increased every
day, he marched to fight Trypho; and having beaten him in the battle, he
ejected him out of the Upper Syria into Phoenicia, and pursued him thither,
and besieged him in Dora which was a fortress hard to be taken, whither
he had fled. He also sent ambassadors to Simon the Jewish high priest,
about a league of friendship and mutual assistance; who readily accepted
of the invitation, and sent to Antiochus great sums of money and provisions
for those that besieged Dora, and thereby supplied them very plentifully,
so that for a little while he was looked upon as one of his most intimate
friends; but still Trypho fled from Dora to Apamia, where he was taken
during the siege, and put to death, when he had reigned three years.
