Description:

Herod the Great and Jesus Chronological, Historical and Archaeological Evidence, by Gerard Gertoux

According to the Book of Maccabees, Simon went to Jericho in 177, in the 11th
month (Shebat), and was killed with his two sons by Ptolemy (1M 16:14-16). Josephus specifies that this happened during a sabbatical year (Jewish Antiquities 13:8:1,2) which he dated to the 162nd Olympiad (132). Since the Seleucid year started in April 311, the year 177 corresponds to 133, and the sabbatical year is 133/132.
