About this time it was that Philip, Herod's ' brother, departed this
life, in the twentieth year of the reign of Tiberius,
after he had been tetrarch of Trachonitis and Gaulanitis, and of the nation
of the Bataneans also, thirty-seven years. He had showed himself a person
of moderation and quietness in the conduct of his life and government;
he constantly lived in that country which was subject to him; he used to
make his progress with a few chosen friends; his tribunal also, on which
he sat in judgment, followed him in his progress; and when any one met
him who wanted his assistance, he made no delay, but had his tribunal set
down immediately, wheresoever he happened to be, and sat down upon it,
and heard his complaint: he there ordered the guilty that were convicted
to be punished, and absolved those that had been accused unjustly. He died
at Julias; and when he was carried to that monument which he had already
erected for himself beforehand, he was buried with great pomp. His principality
Tiberius took, (for he left no sons behind him,) and added it to the province
of Syria, but gave order that the tributes which arose from it should be
collected, and laid up in his tetrachy.
