But it will now be worth while to put Euaratus of Cos in opposition
to this Spartan; for as he was one of Alexander's most intimate friends,
and came to him in his travels at the same time that Eurycles came; so
the king put the question to him, whether those things of which Alexander
was accused were true? He assured him upon oath that he had never heard
any such things from the young men; yet did this testimony avail nothing
for the clearing those miserable creatures; for Herod was only disposed
and most ready to hearken to what made against them, and every one was
most agreeable to him that would believe they were guilty, and showed their
indignation at them.
