Antiochus retreats and dies

9 About this time Antiochus retreated in confusion out of the region of Persia. ² When he had come into Persepolis, he attempted to loot the temple and take over the city. However, he was decisively beaten when the populace took up arms. Antiochus fled from the inhabitants and had to make a shameful retreat.
