11.1Mai Script. vet. nova coll. 1 (1831):20
Ἐν ἔτει πρώτῳ Κύρου. Ταῦτα δέ φησιν ἐγένετο κατὰ τὸ πρῶτον ἔτος Κύρου τοῦ περσῶν ἄρξαντος· τότε γὰρ ἐγώ τε ἱκέτευα μὴ πρότερον τροφῆς μεταλαβεῖν, εἰ μὴ πρότερον τῆς ὀπτασίας ἀξιωθῶ καὶ ἔτυχον τῶν εἰρημένων· οὐκοῦν εὔδηλον ὡς οὐ κατὰ τὸ τρίτον ἔτος Κύρου, ἀλλὰ καὶ κατὰ τὸ πρῶτον τὴν ὀπτασίαν εἶδεν.

"In the first year of Cyrus." These things, he says, happened in the first year of Cyrus, ruler of the Persians; for then I begged not to take food until I had first been counted worthy of the vision and obtained what was said; so it is clear that he saw the vision not in the third year of Cyrus but in the first.
Dan 11:1 (quotation, medium confidence) · Dan 10:1 (allusion, high confidence)
Notes and citation
Summary: Polychronius dates the vision to Cyrus's first year.

"The daughter of the king of the south." This seems to be the second Ptolemy, named Philadelphus, who collected the books of the Greeks and, with them, those of the Hebrews; who gave his daughter Berenice in marriage to Antiochus of Syria, the third king from Seleucus Nicator; who had married Laodice, and had children by her, Seleucus and Antigonus; but, having kept her in the place of a concubine, he took Berenice in marriage as a partner of the kingdom; and the intermarriage brought an end to the war with Ptolemy. — He calls Ptolemy's kingdom "south" and Alexander's "north"; for he resided in Antioch; to say, then, that Ptolemy will betroth his own daughter to Alexander.
Dan 11:6 (quotation, high confidence)
Notes and citation
Summary: Polychronius gives two readings: Berenice's marriage to Antiochus II, or Ptolemy's daughter's marriage to Alexander.
- Scholion on Dan 11:6. The first reading (Ptolemy II Philadelphus, patron of the translation of the Hebrew books; Berenice and Antiochus II) is the one found in other commentators; the second follows Polychronius's own scheme. Both are translated as written. Greek restored from the page image.

"To the strongholds of the king of the north." He called the royal city of Antioch "strongholds," which had all the royal wealth and the forces in it; for having passed through the other cities, Ptolemy seized it by deceit and put on a second diadem, as ruling Asia too, over which Alexander had ruled; who was in Cilicia, for he happened to be staying there, and learning of it, hastened against Ptolemy, and, defeated in battle, fled to Arabia. — For, disturbed at the report, Alexander rushed into war. — That is, Ptolemy; for having conquered Alexander, he held unchallenged rule over all.

"The king of the south will be enraged." This is the father of Demetrius who married Cleopatra, the daughter of Ptolemy and wife of Alexander; and after he succeeded to the kingdom, Demetrius son of Seleucus, he says, will go out and make war with Alexander, the king of the north. For before marrying Cleopatra, Alexander made war with Demetrius, father of Demetrius and son of Seleucus; and Alexander was defeated and fled; and after Demetrius died, Alexander ran back to his rule, and, finding the kingdom uncontested, thus took Ptolemy's daughter as wife.

"To the islands." He called Cilicia an island as being coastal. — He will go there, he says, after many successes; for having conquered Demetrius, settled the rest of the rule, and confirmed it, as he thought, by his friendship with Ptolemy, he then set out for Cilicia to subdue those making trouble there.

Καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὡς ἡ πρώτη καὶ ἡ ἐσχάτη. Ὁ σύρος, καὶ ποιήσει ὡς τὰ πρῶτα καὶ τὰ ἔσχατα· τουτέστιν ᾧ δόλῳ χρήσεται κατὰ Ἀντιόχου, τούτῳ καὶ κατὰ Ἰωνάθου.

"And it will not be like the first and the last." The Syriac reads, "and he will do as the first and the last things"; that is, the deceit he used against Antiochus, the same he will use against Jonathan too.
Dan 11:29 (quotation, high confidence)

Summary: Tryphon used the same treachery against Jonathan as against Antiochus.

"Those who go out, the Kitians." The Kitians, he says, will come against Tryphon; they were the men of Antiochus son of Demetrius; these, then, he says, with their king, about a hundred and twenty thousand men, drew up for battle and killed Tryphon.

"He will turn back and be enraged against the holy covenant." Everywhere he weaves in what concerns the people; for their sake he mentions the rest too; and now he speaks of Antiochus son of Demetrius. — That is, having conquered the Egyptians, Antiochus will come back; and he first states the cause from which, seething with rage, he came back to Jerusalem, exposing the whole character of Antiochus.

Summary: Polychronius applies the rage against the covenant to an Antiochus returning from Egypt.

"They will be helped with a little help." When these things are done by Antiochus, he says, they will obtain alliance from God; and "little" means "God begins to help them"; he hints at Judas's first victory, over Apollonius, by which he became fearsome to the rest and routed the others who rose up.
Dan 11:34 (quotation, high confidence)

Summary: The 'little help' is Judas Maccabee's first victory over Apollonius.

"Against all the gods of his fathers." For when all before him had honored the place, so that much wealth from the offerings lay there, he alone tried to sack the city and to empty the temple of its contents.

"He will not have understanding of any god." That is, he accuses the gods named as gods by all the native peoples; not because he despised the idol, but because, imagining himself equal to God, he despises whatever is called god. — That is, it is no wonder, seeing that he despised even God himself, the Lord of all.

"The god Maozim." It signifies "strong"; and he wants to say that he will know the God who is Lord of all, at the time when he cut out his tongue; for, seized by unbearable pains, falling from his chariot, and his body full of worms, and in such a state from the stench that he became heavy to those who came near, he came to know the Lord of all, even against his will; at any rate, sending many offerings to Jerusalem, he asked that supplication be made by the people to God on his behalf. — For he who imagined himself equal to God not only came down from that pride, but also departed from the impiety of his fathers, singing a recantation.
Dan 11:38 (quotation, high confidence)

Summary: 'Maozim' means the strong God, whom Antiochus acknowledged on his deathbed.
- Scholion on Dan 11:38; compare 2 Macc 9:5–17. The clause "when he cut out his tongue" (καθ᾽ ὃν τὴν γλῶσσαν ἐκόπησε) is as read in the image; its sense is uncertain. Polychronius's interpretation is translated as written. Greek restored from the page image.
