Now when Nicolaus had laid these things before Caesar, he ended his
plea; whereupon Caesar was so obliging to Archelaus, that he raised him
up when he had cast himself down at his feet, and said that he well deserved
the kingdom; and he soon let them know that he was so far moved in his
favor, that he would not act otherwise than his father's testament directed,
and than was for the advantage of Archelaus. However, while he gave this
encouragement to Archelaus to depend on him securely, he made no full determination
about him; and when the assembly was broken up, he considered by himself
whether he should confirm the kingdom to Archelaus, or whether he should
part it among all Herod's posterity; and this because they all stood in
need of much assistance to support them.
