It is worth notice in passing that neither Strabo’s sources nor Josephus know of any attack upon the temple. Strabo, in his account of Susa and Elymais,¹ gives the attacks on temples there made by Antiochus III and Mithridates I of Parthia; had he found in his sources an attack by Antiochus IV, who comes between these two kings, he could hardly have omitted it. Josephus, in his criticism of Polybius, blames him for connecting Antiochus’ death with a wish to plunder a temple which (he says) he did not in fact plunder.²
