Now it happened that there was a battle between him and Ptolemy,
who was called Lathyrus, who had taken the city Asochis. He indeed slew
a great many of his enemies, but the victory rather inclined to Ptolemy.
But when this Ptolemy was pursued by his mother Cleopatra, and retired
into Egypt, Alexander besieged Gadara, and took it; as also he did Amathus,
which was the strongest of all the fortresses that were about Jordan, and
therein were the most precious of all the possessions of Theodorus, the
son of Zeno. Whereupon Theodopus marched against him, and took what belonged
to himself as well as the king's baggage, and slew ten thousand of the
Jews. However, Alexander recovered this blow, and turned his force towards
the maritime parts, and took Raphia and Gaza, with Anthedon also, which
was afterwards called Agrippias by king Herod.

Now when Gabinius was come to Alexandrium, because he found a great
many there en-camped, he tried, by promising them pardon for their former
offenses, to induce them to come over to him before it came to a fight;
but when they would hearken to no terms of accommodation, he slew a great
number of them, and shut up a great number of them in the citadel. Now
Marcus Antonius, their leader, signalized himself in this battle, who,
as he always showed great courage, so did he never show it so much as now;
but Gabinius, leaving forces to take the citadel, went away himself, and
settled the cities that had not been demolished, and rebuilt those that
had been destroyed. Accordingly, upon his injunctions, the following cities
were restored: Scythopolis, and Samaria, and Anthedon, and Apollonia, and
Jamnia, and Raphia, and Mariassa, and Adoreus, and Gamala, and Ashdod,
and many others; while a great number of men readily ran to each of them,
and became their inhabitants.
