Dear Eduard:

I have a bad habit, that of browsing in bookstores, libraries and now on 
line, finding what I think are bits of unimportant but interesting (to me) 
trivia but forgetting the sources where I found them. Later, when I find that 
the bit a trivia is more than just an intellectual tickle, I am no longer 
able to give credit where credit is due.

However, when doing a googlewhack for "Antiochus Epiphanes" temple 
desecration Jerusalem  I found that there are many people who have made the 
same connection.

Sorry, I can’t help you more. If I find it again, I’ll get back to you.

Karl W. Randolph.
