But he was opposed by Lucius Scipio Nasica and also his brother, Publius Scipio Africanus, who had vanquished Hannibal. For since the consul Nasica, the brother of Africanus, was of a somewhat sluggish disposition, the Roman senate was unwilling to entrust to him a war against so mighty a king as Antiochus. Africanus therefore offered to assume the post of deputy on a voluntary basis, in order to obviate any damage that his brother might cause. Consequently Antiochus was vanquished and commanded to confine his rule to the other side of the Taurus range. And so this is what the Scripture refers to in this passage, when it states that he would capture many islands, and yet because of the Roman conqueror he would lose the kingdom of Asia; and that the disgrace he had inflicted would come back upon his own head.<br/><i>— St. Jerome, Commentary on Daniel, CHAPTER ELEVEN</i></p>","source_html_sha256":"850b9c031682f02df2441222165617d20707c094f8dc8ebfa52f7820549c2d0e","source_module":"ECF","source_row_id":3559,"source_url":"https://www.sermonindex.net/commentary/ecf/","text_sha256":"6d371edcb21a6c2a56a22c8b50734a1b7077bf8cacfcca0337f8a7d0b4995c13","translator":null,"work":null}
