To the same issue comes also the account by the other branch of the Grecian Empire § 7 in Egypt: For Alexander reigned as we said, after the death of Darius six years, Ptolomaeus Lagi thirty nine: Philadelphus thirty eight: Evergetes twenty four: Philopater nineteen: Epiphanes twenty three: Philometor thirty: in which thirtieth year began the rule of the Hasmoneans.
To the same issue comes also the account by the other branch of the Graecian Empire § 7 in Aegypt: For Alexander reigned as we said, after the death of Darius six years, Ptolomaeus Lagi thirty nine: Philadelphus thirty eight: Euergetes twenty four: Philopater nineteen: Epiphanes twenty three: Philometor thirty: in which thirtieth year began the rule of the Hasmonaeans.
The Rule of the Hasmoneans, with the reign of Herod the great, who obtained the § 8 Kingdom by means of their divisions, continued until the Birth of Christ, one hundred forty years. For Jonathan began his Rule in the second year of the one hundred fifty seventh Olympiad, as may be seen, by adding the Seleucian Era to the one hundred and fourteenth Olympiad, wherein Alexander dyed; and our Lord Christ was born in the second year of the one hundred ninety fourth Olympiad, in the last year, or the last save one of Herod the great. This sum of one hundred forty eight years, being added to the fore-mentioned, from the beginning of the Empire of Cyrus, which is three hundred eighty one years, makes up in all five hundred twenty nine years. From the Birth of our Lord Christ in the second year of the one hundred ninety fourth Olympiad, to the destruction of the City and Temple, in the third year of the two hundred and eleventh Olympiad, are seventy years; which makes up the whole sum before mentioned of five hundred ninety nine years, from the first of the Empire of Cyrus, ⟨p. 188⟩unto the destruction of Jerusalem. Petavius and our Mountacue reckon from the first of Cyrus, unto the eighteenth of Tiberius, wherein our Lord Christ suffered five hundred ninety four years, which differs very little from the account we have insisted on: For take from them twenty seven years of the reign of Cyrus, before the first of his Empire, and add unto them thirty seven for the continuance of the City and Temple after the death of Christ, and the sum remaining will exceed our account only four years, or five at the most.
