Haydock's commentary
Shameless. Hebrew: "hard," cruel, and impudent, as Epiphanes was, 1 Machabees i. 2. Marcellinus styles him "wrathful and savage."
Sentences, making use of artifice to seize the estates of his nephew Philometor, and to oppress the Jews, 2 Machabees v. 24. (Calmet)
The history speaks of Antiochus: antichrist is also meant, as [in] chap. xii. and Matthew xxiv. (Worthington)
