[88]
But when he had made slaves of the citizens of all these cities,
the nation of the Jews made an insurrection against him at a festival;
for at those feasts seditions are generally begun; and it looked as if
he should not be able to escape the plot they had laid for him, had not
his foreign auxiliaries, the Pisidians and Cilicians, assisted him; for
as to the Syrians, he never admitted them among his mercenary troops, on
account of their innate enmity against the Jewish nation. And when he had
slain more than six thousand of the rebels, he made an incursion into Arabia;
and when he had taken that country, together with the Gileadires and Moabites,
he enjoined them to pay him tribute, and returned to Areathus; and as Theodorus
was surprised at his great success, he took the fortress, and demolished
it.
