The Greek text reads 'they killed on that day to the number of ten myriads' (one hundred thousand). Three thousand Jewish soldiers could not have killed one hundred thousand people. The suppression of the Antioch uprising is confirmed by Josephus (Antiquities XIII.5.3) and Diodorus (XXXIII.4.2), but the casualty figure is inflated. See note on 3:39.
