And because, upon the taking of Laodicea by Cassius, the men of power
were gotten together from all quarters, with presents and crowns in their
hands, Herod allotted this time for the punishment of Malichus. When Malichus
suspected that, and was at Tyre, he resolved to withdraw his son privately
from among the Tyrians, who was a hostage there, while he got ready to
fly away into Judea; the despair he was in of escaping excited him to think
of greater things; for he hoped that he should raise the nation to a revolt
from the Romans, while Cassius was busy about the war against Antony, and
that he should easily depose Hyrcanus, and get the crown for himself.
