The Ptolemaic Baris also Ptolemaic Acra was a citadel maintained by Ptolemaic Egypt during its rule of Jerusalem in the 3rd century BC. Described by only a few ancient sources, no archaeological remains of the citadel have been found and much about it remains a matter of conjecture. Persian origins? After the conquest of Babylon by the Persian Empire , Cyrus the Great allowed the Jews to return to their native land and rebuild Jerusalem, sacked by Nebuchadnezzar II in 586 BC. While rebuilding the city s fortifications, the Persian administration also constructed a new citadel north of the Temple Mount enclosure, as part of a general Persian effort to bolster the empire s defences. ref Carter, C.

Sheffield Academic Press. ref This citadel is the Biryah Hebrew referred to in Nehemiah 2 8 and 7 2, appearing as the Baris in Ancient Greek Greek translations of the Septuagint . The origin of the word is not entirely clear, but may have been borrowed into Hebrew from Akkadian language Assyrian birtu or bistu meaning a citadel or castle within a city, or a fort located at a strategic position outside a city.

The Seleucids were led by Antiochus III the Great , while the Ptolemaic army was led by Scopas of Aetolia . The Seleucids won the battle. Details of this battle are not clear, but it is known today that major factor in the Seleucid victory was that the Seleucid army used the cataphract in a decisive manner. The cataphracts attacked the Egyptian cavalry on the flanks and drove the enemy cavalry off, leaving the backs of the enemy infantry to the front of the line exposed. The Seleucid cataphracts then attacked their infantry in the rear, thus leading to an Egyptian rout. The specific equipment used by these relatively early cataphracts is not clearly known.
