After his death Alexander beginning his Reign in the third year of the 112th Olympiad, reigned six years: from him there is a double account, by the two most famous branches of the Grecian Empire. The first is by the Syrian, or Era of the Seleucidae, which takes its date from the tenth year after the death of Alexander, when after some bloody contests, Seleucus settled his Kingdom in Syria, and reigned thirty years. After him reigned Antiochus Soter twenty one years, Antiochus Theos fifteen, Seleucus Callinicus twenty, Seleucus Ceraunus two, Antiochus Magnus thirty seven, Seleucus Philopater twelve, Antiochus Epiphanes twelve, Eupator two, Demetrius Soter ten. In the second year of this Demetrius, which was the 153d. of the account of the Seleucidae, was Judas Macchabaeus slain, being the one hundred sixty ninth year after the death of Darius Codomanus, or end of the Persian Empire, allowing six years to the reign of Alexander, and ten more to the beginning of the Kingdom of the Seleucidae. Demetrius Soter in the tenth year of his reign was expelled out of his Kingdom by Alexander Vales; in the second year of whose reign, ten years after the death of Judas, Jonathan his Brother took upon him the supreme Government of the people of the Jews, and began the Rule or Reign of the Hasmoneans: So that the time of the Grecian Empire in Syria from the death of Darius Codomanus, unto the liberty of the Jews and erection of a supreme Government amongst them, was one hundred seventy nine years, which being added unto two hundred and two years of the Persian Empire, makes up three hundred eighty one years.
