[405]
Τούτοις ὁ δῆμος ἐπείθετο, καὶ μετὰ τοῦ βασιλέως
τῆς τε Βερνίκης ἀναβάντες εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν κατήρξαντο τῆς τῶν στοῶν
δομήσεως, εἰς δὲ τὰς κώμας οἵ τε ἄρχοντες καὶ βουλευταὶ μερισθέντες
τοὺς φόρους συνέλεγον. ταχέως δὲ τὰ τεσσαράκοντα τάλαντα,
τοσοῦτον γὰρ ἔλειπεν, ἠθροίσθη.
[406]
καὶ τοῦ μὲν πολέμου τότε οὕτω
τὴν ἀπειλὴν κατεῖχεν Ἀγρίππας, αὖθις δὲ ἐπειρᾶτο πείθειν τὸ
πλῆθος ὑπακούειν Φλώρῳ, μέχρις ἀντ᾽ αὐτοῦ πέμψει Καῖσαρ
διάδοχον: πρὸς ὃ παροξυνθέντες ἐβλασφήμουν εἰς τὸν βασιλέα καὶ
τῆς πόλεως αὐτὸν ἐξεκήρυσσον, ἐτόλμων δέ τινες τῶν στασιαστῶν
καὶ λίθους ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν βάλλειν.
[407]
ὁ δὲ βασιλεὺς ἰδὼν τὴν ὁρμὴν ἤδη
τῶν νεωτεριζόντων ἀκατάσχετον καὶ χαλεπήνας ἐφ᾽ οἷς προπεπηλάκισται,
τοὺς μὲν ἄρχοντας αὐτῶν ἅμα τοῖς δυνατοῖς ἔπεμπε πρὸς
Φλῶρον εἰς Καισάρειαν, ἵν᾽ ἐκεῖνος ἐξ αὐτῶν ἀποδείξῃ τοὺς τὴν
χώραν φορολογήσοντας, αὐτὸς δὲ ἀνεχώρησεν εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν.
