**Yochanan** ben Shimon ben Mattityahu reigned in year 3642, the 5th king of the Chashmona'im, and was called Hyrkanos the second. And Talmi (Ptolemy) king of Egypt mentioned above came up against him, and his soldiers fell slain. And Talmi escaped to the city of Tavon, and the city was under siege. And King Talmi commanded to bring up the mother of Hyrkanos on the wall and beat her with whips before her son's eyes.

And the son's compassion was stirred and he relented from him.

Nevertheless, Talmi killed the king's mother and fled to Egypt [(Tzeda)].
