  3. While Onias [II] was high priest, Antiochus [III] and Ptolemy [V] reconciled their conflict and ”made a league”--Antiochus gave Ptolemy his daughter Cleopatra [I] to wife and yielded up as her dowry “Celesyria, and Samaria, and Judea and Phoenicia.... ... This happened when Onias [II 2] was high priest.” Josephus AJ XII.IV.1.
