Letter of Antiochus VII
15 Antiochus the son of King Demetrius sent a letter from the sea islands to Simon, the priest and ruler of the Jews, and to all the nation:
2 King Antiochus to Simon the high priest and ruler, and to the nation of the Jews. Greetings!
3 Some troublemakers have gained control of our ancestors’ kingdom. I intend to take command of the kingdom so that I may restore it to the way it used to be. I have recruited a large number of foreign troops and have equipped warships.
