	Demetrius II Nicator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Demetrius II was certainly uncapable to handle the developing threats to the Seleucid empire, but his reputation of cruelty was probably undeserved.
		The second time Demetrius was captured when he tried to escape, Mithradates humiliated him by giving him a golden set of dice, thus hinting that Demetrius II was a restless child who needed toys.
		However, the Seleucid kingdom was now but a shadow of its former glory, and Demetrius had a hard time to rule even in Syria.

		Demetrius, however, did not fulfil his promise to withdraw the Syrian garrisons from the fortresses in Judea; on the contrary, he demanded of Jonathan the payment of all the tributes which had been due to his predecessors, but which had not been paid.
