Verse 13. Times, seventeen years after the battle of Raphia. When Philopator was dead, and his son Epiphanes not above five years old, Antiochus and Philip of Macedon basely attempted to divide his dominions. Scopas engaged Antiochus, but lost the battle, and all that Philopator had recovered. Calmet.—Many revolted in Egypt on account of the arrogance of Agathocles, who ruled in the king’s name. verse 14. Saint Jerome
