[590]
These things were said by the women upon the torture; as also that
Pheroras resolved to fly with them to Perea. Now Herod gave credit to all
they said, on account of the affair of the hundred talents; for he had
no discourse with any body about them, but only with Antipater. So he vented
his anger first of all against Antipater's mother, and took away from her
all the ornaments which he had given her, which cost a great many talents,
and cast her out of the palace a second time. He also took care of Pheroras's
women after their tortures, as being now reconciled to them; but he was
in great consternation himself, and inflamed upon every suspicion, and
had many innocent persons led to the torture, out of his fear lest he should
leave any guilty person untortured.
