καὶ ἐποίησεν ἀθείαν μεγάλην, καὶ ἀνταπέδωκεν κακὰ ἀντὶ ἀγαθῶν.
καὶ ἔγραψεν ταῦτα Πτολεμαῖος. καὶ ἀπέστειλεν τῷ βασιλεῖ ὅπως ἀποστείλῃ αὐτῷ δυνάμεις εἰς βοήθειαν, καὶ παραδῷ τὴν Χώραν αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς πόλεις.
καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἑτέρους εἰς Γάζαρα ἆραι τὸν Ἰωάννην, καὶ τοῖς χιλιάρχοις ἀπέστειλεν ἐπιστολὰς παραγενέσθαι πρὸς αὐτόν, ὅπως δῷ αὐτοῖς ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον καὶ δόματα.
καὶ ἑτέρους ἀπέστειλεν καταλαβέσθαι τὴν Ἰερουσαλὴμ καὶ τὸ ὄρος τοῦ ἱεροῦ.
