Iste antiochus eupator , bethsura capta, jerusalem obsessa et dextera judeis data de eorum legibus obseruandis, philippum de antiochia eiecit; tandem ipse et lisias , a suo excercitu ligati, precepto demetrii filii seleuci , sunt interfecti.

This Antiochus Eupator, having captured Bethsura, besieged Jerusalem and giving his right hand in pledge to the Jews for the observation of their laws, expelled Phillip from Antioch. Finally, he and Lisias were bound by their own army, and were killed on the orders of Demetrius son of Seleucius.
