- ἔτους ὀγδοηκοστοῦ καὶ ὀγδόου ἐν Ἰεροσολύμοις. Καὶ οἱ ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ καὶ ἡ γερουσία καὶ Ἰούδας Ἀριστοβούλῳ διδασκάλῳ Πτολεμαίου τοῦ βασιλέως, ὄντι δὲ ἀπὸ τοῦ τῶν χριστῶν ἱερέων γένους, καὶ τοῖς ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ Ἰουδαίοις, χαίρειν καὶ ὑγιαίνειν.
Haydock's commentary
Eight. Thus the preceding letter is dated, according to many, (Menochius) as there was no Judas or Aristobolus known at this time. But Judas, the Essene prophet, (chap. ii. 14.; Worthington) must have flourished about that period; (Josephus, Antiquities xiii. 19.; Calmet) and one Aristobolus wrote something in the Scripture for Philometor. (Clement [of Alexander], Strom. v.; Eusebius, Hist. ii. 17.)
After Philadelphus, the kings of Egypt had commonly Jews among their preceptors. (Rupert, Vict. x. 15.)
This person is supposed to have instructed Physcon. (Calmet)
