SCAURUS made now an expedition against Petrea, in Arabia, and set
on fire all the places round about it, because of the great difficulty
of access to it. And as his army was pinched by famine, Antipater furnished
him with corn out of Judea, and with whatever else he wanted, and this
at the command of Hyrcanus. And when he was sent to Aretas, as an ambassador
by Scaurus, because he had lived with him formerly, he persuaded Aretas
to give Scaurus a sum of money, to prevent the burning of his country,
and undertook to be his surety for three hundred talents. So Scaurus, upon
these terms, ceased to make war any longer; which was done as much at Scaurus's
desire, as at the desire of Aretas.
