Scene III. -- Antiochus; Jason.
ANTIOCHUS. / My task is easier than I dreamed. These people / Meet me half-way. Jason, didst thou take note / How these Samaritans of Sichem said / They were not Jews? that they were Medes and Persians, / They were Sidonians, anything but Jews? / 'T is of good augury. The rest will follow / Till the whole land is Hellenized.
