[88]
But when this tumult was appeased, the Samaritan senate sent an embassy
to Vitellius, a man that had been consul, and who was now president of
Syria, and accused Pilate of the murder of those that were killed; for
that they did not go to Tirathaba in order to revolt from the Romans, but
to escape the violence of Pilate. So Vitellius sent Marcellus, a friend
of his, to take care of the affairs of Judea, and ordered Pilate to go
to Rome, to answer before the emperor to the accusations of the Jews. So
Pilate, when he had tarried ten years in Judea, made haste to Rome, and
this in obedience to the orders of Vitellius, which he durst not contradict;
but before he could get to Rome Tiberius was dead.
