CENDEBÆUS . A general of Antiochus VII. Sidetes, who was given the command of the sea-coast, and sent with an army into Palestine in order to enforce the claims of Antiochus against Simon Maccabæus. In a battle which took place in a plain not far from Modin the Jews gained a complete victory over Cendebæus, and pursued the Syrians as far as Kidron and the neighbourhood of Ashdod ( 1Ma 15:38; 1Ma 16:9; cf. Jos. [Note: Josephus.] Ant . XIII. vii. 3).
