- "In the one hundred and forty-ninth year a word came to Judas and his men that Anti'ochus Eu'pator was coming with a great army against Judea, "
- "and with him Lys'ias, his guardian, who had charge of the government. Each of them had a Greek force of one hundred and ten thousand infantry, five thousand three hundred cavalry, twenty-two elephants, and three hundred chariots armed with scythes."
