Ye may go! SCENE III.

-- ANTIOCHUS; JASON.
ANTIOCHUS.
My task is easier than I dreamed.

These people Meet me half-way.

Jason, didst thou take note How these Samaritans of Sichem said They were not Jews?
that they were Medes and Persians, They were Sidonians, anything but Jews?
'T is of good augury.

The rest will follow Till the whole land is Hellenized.
JASON.
My Lord, These are Samaritans.
