(a)8:3 In other words, they even asked God to utterly destroy the city, and everyone in it, rather than to let these sacrileges and blasphemies continue. It was not the case that the city was going to be destroyed by the Gentiles; they were using the city, profanely, but had no intention of destroying it.(Conte)
(b)8:7 The meaning of ‘virtutis’ here is really something like ‘virtuous strength.’ One would not describe even a successful enemy of Israel as ‘virtutis.’(Conte)
(c)8:8
Philip seeing, etc: The governor of Jerusalem found himself unable to contend with Judas, especially after the victories he had obtained over Apollonius and Seron. 1 Mac. 3.(Challoner)
(d)8:9
Twenty thousand: The whole number of the forces sent at that time into Judea, was 40,000 footmen, and 7000 horsemen, 1 Mac. 3:30. But only 20,000 are here taken notice of, because there were no more with Nicanor at the time of the battle.(Challoner)
(e)8:11 The maritime cities, being ports, would all be centers of commerce and trading. So the Jews were to be sold in lots to these men, wholesale, to be resold later individually or in smaller groups.(Conte)
(f)8:16
Seven thousand: In the Greek it is six thousand. But then three thousand of them had no arms. 1 Mac. 4:6.(Challoner)
(g)8:20
Galatians: That is, the Gauls, who having ravaged Italy and Greece, poured themselves in upon Asia, in immense multitudes, where also they founded the kingdom of Galatia or Gallo Graecia.(Challoner)
(h)8:24
Above nine thousand: Viz., including the three thousand slain in the pursuit.(Challoner)
(i)8:35
Laying aside his garment of glory: That is, his splendid apparel, which he wore through ostentation; he now throws it off, lest he should be known on his flight.(Challoner)
