		And again by his faith he destroyed thirty-one kings, and made the children of Israel to inherit the land.
		And again by his faith he spread out his hands to heaven, and held back the sun in Gibeon, and the moon in the valley of Ajalon, and they were restrained and stood still in their courses.

		Dionysius, almost beside himself with rage at this unexpected frankness, called his guards and ordered Philoxenus to be removed, in chains, to a deep, underground dungeon, where only the worst criminals were sent.
		For, turning his back on the feast and the feasters, Philoxenus approached the guards of the banquet hall, and exclaimed, in a tone of disgust, “Take me back to my dungeon!” Nothing could more plainly have shown his opinion of the king’s bad verses.
		But even this king, vain as he was, seems to have had a sense of humor, and a respect for real moral courage.

		In northern Greece kings Cotys of Thrace, Alexander of Pherae, and Perdiccas of Macedonia were all killed about the year 359 BC, weakening rulership in the region and allowing Philip II as guardian of his young nephew Amyntas to rule as regent in Macedonia.

	Simeon of Qal`a Rumaita, Patriarch Philoxenus Nemrod and Bar `Ebroyo
		He had, in the first place, been the abbot of Gawikat in Cilicia and it was in Cilicia that he was elected to the patiarchate, one of the grounds for his election evidently being the favour in which he was held by "the king and his magnates".
		A little later in 1272, when Prince T‘oros (future T‘oros III 1294-99), the son of the same Lewon (now King Lewon III, 1270-1289), was baptised, it was, as we learn from an Armenian chronicle, not the Armenian catholicos but the Syrian patriarch who officiated at the ceremony.
		Ebroyo’s reaction to the election of Philoxenus Nemrod to the patriarchate in 1283 needs in particular to be seen in the light of his relationship to the family of Simeon.
