Etter dette, da kong Demetrius så at landet var rolig foran ham, og at ingen motstand ble gjort mot ham, sendte han bort alle sine styrker, hver til sitt eget sted, bortsett fra visse grupper av fremmede, som han hadde samlet fra hedningenes øyer; derfor hatet alle hans fedres styrker ham.
After this, when king Demetrius saw that the land was quiet before him, and that no resistance was made against him, he sent away all his forces, every one to his own place, except certain bands of strangers, whom he had gathered from the isles of the heathen: wherefore all the forces of his fathers hated him.
