Symon , cum .c. talenta argenti et duos filios jonathe triphoni pro jonatha tradidisset, spe frustratus, demetrio federatus, arcem syon eiectis custodibus mundauit; tandem, a ptolomeo , duce in jericho , dolo occisus, johannem iohannem hyrcanum hyrcanum filium suum hircanum fiilum suum successorem habuit.

Simon, having given 100 talents of silver and two of Jonathan's sons to Tryphon in exchange for Jonathan, was frustrated in his hopes. He allied himself with Demetrius, and he purified the citadel of Zion, expelling the guards. Finally, he was treacherously killed by Ptolemy, ruler of Jericho, and John Hyrcanus succeeded him.

Image excerpts from the manuscripts (as grouped by main graph versions) are the result of tool-based image annotation (via Cadmus) or manual extraction. For each manuscript version only these visually annotated manuscripts are listed here. For the grouping of all manuscripts we provide a separate list (Manuscript groups).
