"Marcus Agrippa to the magistrates, senate, and people of Cyrene,
sendeth greeting. The Jews of Cyrene have interceded with me for the performance
of what Augustus sent orders about to Flavius, the then praetor of Libya,
and to the other procurators of that province, that the sacred money may
be sent to Jerusalem freely, as hath been their custom from their forefathers,
they complaining that they are abused by certain informers, and under pretense
of taxes which were not due, are hindered from sending them, which I command
to be restored without any diminution or disturbance given to them. And
if any of that sacred money in the cities be taken from their proper receivers,
I further enjoin, that the same be exactly returned to the Jews in that
place."
Flavius Josephus. The Works of Flavius Josephus. Translated by. William Whiston, A.M. Auburn and Buffalo. John E. Beardsley. 1895.
