He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the
countries
Before mentioned, and take possession of them and rule over them,
as the Turk does to this day: and the land of Egypt shall
not escape;
the hands of the Turk by whom it was taken from the Mamalucs; and
is now a province of the Turkish empire, and governed by a
Turkish basha, with twenty four princes under him F1. This
was not true of Antiochus, who, after he had been checked by the
Romans, never entered into Egypt, and much less became master of
it, as the Turk now is.
