Seleucus the sonne of Gryphus king of Syria warred against Cyzicenus the sonne of Antiochus Sedetes, whom after hee had taken him, hee put to death. By and by mortall wars arose between the brethren. Wherwith the Syrians were so grieued, and so annoyed with the ciuill warres; that they knew no other fitter meanes to redeeme their vexation, then to yeeld vp the kingdome to Tygranes the king of Armenia. Which Tygranes enioyed Syria vntill such time as hee
was ouercome of Pompeius, who deliuered Syria vp to the Romaines. This kingdome of Syria continued about 240. yeares, and was deliuered into the handes of the Romaines 17. yeares after Iulius Cesar was first Emperour of Rome.
