When I understood this state of things, I was greatly provoked,
and went down to Tiberias, and took all the care I could of the royal furniture,
to recover all that could be recovered from such as had plundered it. They
consisted of candlesticks made of Corinthian brass, and of royal tables,
and of a great quantity of uncoined silver; and I resolved to preserve
whatsoever came to my hand for the king. So I sent for ten of the principal
men of the senate, and for Capellus the son of Antyllus, and committed
the furniture to them, with this charge, That they should part with it
to nobody else but to myself. From thence I and my fellow legates went
to Gichala, to John, as desirous to know his intentions, and soon saw that
he was for innovations, and had a mind to the principality; for he desired
me to give him authority to carry off that corn which belonged to Caesar,
and lay in the villages of Upper Galilee; and he pretended that he would
expend what it came to in building the walls of hi

But when I had dismissed my fellow legates, and sent them back to
Jerusalem, I took care to have arms provided, and the cities fortified.
And when I had sent for the most hardy among the robbers, I saw that it
was not in my power to take their arms from them; but I persuaded the multitude
to allow them money as pay, and told them it was better for them to give
them a little willingly, rather than to [be forced to] overlook them when
they plundered their goods from them. And when I had obliged them to take
an oath not to come into that country, unless they were invited to come,
or else when they had not their pay given them, I dismissed them, and charged
them neither to make an expedition against the Romans, nor against those
their neighbors that lay round about them; for my first care was to keep
Galilee in peace. So I was willing to have the principal of the Galileans,
in all seventy, as hostages for their fidelity, but still under the notion
of friendship. Accordingly, I made them m

Now the multitude of the Galileans had that great kindness for me,
and fidelity to me, that when their cities were taken by force, and their
wives and children carried into slavery, they did not so deeply lament
for their own calamities, as they were solicitous for my preservation.
But when John saw this, he envied me, and wrote to me, desiring that I
would give him leave to come down, and make use of the hot-baths of Tiberias
for the recovery of the health of his body. Accordingly, I did not hinder
him, as having no suspicion of any wicked designs of his; and I wrote to
those to whom I had committed the administration of the affairs of Tiberius
by name, that they should provide a lodging for John, and for such as should
come with him, and should procure him what necessaries soever he should
stand in need of. Now at this time my abode was in a village of Galilee,
which is named Cans.
