Damascus (Syria) (search for this): book 1, section 131
When Hyrcanus and Antipater were thus deprived of their hopes from
the Arabians, they transferred the same to their adversaries; and because
Pompey had passed through Syria, and was come to Damascus, they fled to
him for assistance; and, without any bribes, they made the same equitable
pleas that they had used to Aretas, and besought him to hate the violent
behavior of Aristobulus, and to bestow the kingdom on him to whom it justly
belonged, both on account of his good character and on account of his superiority
in age. However, neither was Aristobulus wanting to himself in this case,
as relying on the bribes that Scaurus had received: he was also there himself,
and adorned himself after a manner the most agreeable to royalty that he
was able. But he soon thought it beneath him to come in such a servile
manner, and could not endure to serve his own ends in a way so much more
abject than he was used to; so he departed from Diospolis.
