turned over to Alexander.^ We must therefore disagree with 

 Schtirer* in his statement "aber auch Dora rrntss zum Gebiet 

 Alexanders gehort haben^" All Ave can say is that there is a 

 possibility that it was subject to him for a time. 



ANT. XIV. 4:4 AXD B.J., I, 7:7. 

 After his capture of Jerusalem in 63 B.C., Pompey, according 

 to Josephus, proceeded to take from the Jews many of the cities 

 that were at that time recognized as part of their realm. He 

 thereby greatly reduced the extent of Jewish territory. Dor is 

 included by Josephus among the cities restored to their own inhabi- 

 tants and incorporated within the Roman province of Syria. From 

 Pompey's time Dor seems, therefore, to have been directly under 

 Roman rule. Josephus gives two accounts of these changes, one 

 in Ant. XIV, 4:4 and a second in B.J. I, 7:7:

"And he made Jerusalem tributary to the Romans, and took 

 away the cities of Coelesyria which the inhabitants (of Judaea) had 

 in former times subdued, and he put them under their own praetor 

 and confined the whole nation which had before so greatly elevated 

 itself, within its own borders. And he rebuilt Gadara, which had 

 shortly before been demolished, to gratify Demetrius of Gadara, his 

 freedman. And the rest of the cities, Hippos, Scythopolis, Pella, 

 Dios, and Samaria, as well as Marissa, Azotus, Jamnia, and Are- 

 thusa, he restored to their inhabitants: and these were in the

 is not accurate. According to the record it was Ptolemy Lathyrus who 

 subdued Zoilus.
