Statement

Accounts claim that the ancestors of the Samaritans rebelled against the Greeks. In a cave at Wadi ed-Daliyeh, about 200 skeletons were found, perhaps of refugees hunted down by Alexander's forces; Aramaic papyri dated between 365 and 335 BCE place these occupants at the time of the conquest.
