Haydock's commentary
Persia. This country is not specified in the Roman and Alexandrian Septuagint. Other copies have, "He God made them who attacked the holy city flee in swarms to Persia." (Syriac; Vatable)
The name of Persia now comprised all the dominions of Antiochus; Rupert understands Sidetes. (Calmet)
