		Two sons were left by " the Thracian," named Hyrcanus and Aristobulus; but he directed in his will that his wife Alexandra should succeed him; and as the Jews generally regarded her as opposed to the policies of her late husband, the nation concurred in his choice.
		Hyrcanus led out an army to meet Aristobulus and his troops, but no battle was fought, for most of the high‑priest's soldiers deserted to his younger brother, and Hyrcanus fled in terror to Jerusalem.

	Heritage
		The struggle for political control of Judea between the weak-willed Hyrcanus and his impetuous brother Aristobulus had begun during the reign of their mother, Salome Alexandra, and became even fiercer once Hyrcanus took the throne in 67 B.C.E. Hyrcanus then began his reign.
		So after he had sent a message to his brother about coming to an agreement regarding the matters between them, he laid aside his enmity to him on these conditions: that Aristobulus should be king, and that he (Hyrcanus) should live without meddling in public affairs and quietly enjoy the estate he had acquired.
		Hyrcanus complained that although he was the elder brother, he was deprived of the prerogative of his birth by Aristobulus and that he had but a small part of the country under him, Aristobulus having taken away the rest by force.

		And this was the fortune of Aristobulus, who was sent back again to Rome, and was there retained in bonds, having been both king and high priest for three years and six months; and was indeed an eminent person, and one of a great soul.
		But Aristobulus had no enjoyment of what he hoped for from the power that was given him by Cesar; for those of Pompey's party prevented it, and destroyed him by poison; and those of Caesar's party buried him.

		Hyrcanus complained, that although he were the elder brother, he was deprived of the prerogative of his birth by Aristobulus, and that he had but a small part of the country under him, Aristobulus having taken away the rest from him by force.
		But Aristobulus alleged against him, that it was Hyrcanus's own temper, which was inactive, and on that account contemptible, which caused him to be deprived of the government; and that for himself, he was necessitated to take it upon him, for fear lest it should be transferred to others.
		In the mean time, he ordered them to be quiet; and treated Aristobulus civilly, lest he should make the nation revolt, and hinder his return; which yet Aristobulus did; for without expecting any further determination, which Pompey had promised them, he went to the city Delius, and thence marched into Judea.

		Setting aside its incidental historical references, its main purpose was to function as a schedule so the Sadducees stationed at Qumran (or elsewhere in Judea) would know when to report for service in their priestly course in the temple.
		I would say that the major argument that it dates to 63 BCE or earlier is the lack of mention of Pompey, but given the fragmentary nature of the text, even this is uncertain.
		Scaurus intimidated Aretus into retreating to Petra, true, but Aristobulus and his troops were so encouraged at this development that he sent an army after Aretus and inflicted many casualties.

		Wherefore the senate put him under confinement, but returned his children back to Judea, because Gabinius informed them by letters that he had promised Aristobulus's mother to do so, for her delivering the fortresses up to him.
		Accordingly, he got together a very great army, and set about killing all the Romans that were in the country; hereupon Gabinius was afraid, (for he was come back already out of Egypt, and obliged to come back quickly by these tumults,) and sent Antipater, who prevailed with some of the revolters to be quiet.
