¶ Of the Kings of Syria that succeeded Antiochus Epiphanes, and made war vpon the MACHABEES. And first of the Trauels of Antiochus Eupator.

THis Antiochus the yonger succeeded his father Antiochus E∣piphanes, in the 149 yere of the Grecians gouernment in Sy∣ria, which was the 161 yere before Christ, and he continued King of Asia and Syria 3 yeares. Lysias the Kings Substitute for Syria, called this man by the name of Eupator, that is, a good Fa∣ther; because Kings ought to be Fathers of their countries.

This Antiochus Eupator in the second yeare of his reign came with a great army from Antiochia to the town of Modin, which was 380 miles.

From Modin he went to the Hold at Bethsura: this he sharply besieged; being 12 miles.

From Bethsura he went to Bethsachara (almost a mile) to meet wrth Iudas Machabeus, who put him to flight, and kild 600 of his men, 1 Mac. 6.

From Bethsachara hee returned to the Hold of Bethsura, and won it, which was almost a mile.

From Bethsura he came to Ierusalem, which was halfe a mile.

From Ierusalem he went with his Army to Ptolomais, beeing 76 miles.

From Ptolomais hee returned to Antiochia, 204 miles and a halfe.

Concerning the townes and places mentioned in his Trauels you may reade before.
