[252]
Nero therefore bestowed the kingdom of the Lesser Armenia upon Aristobulus,
Herod's son, 1
and he added to Agrippa's kingdom four cities, with the toparchies to them
belonging; I mean Abila, and that Julias which is in Perea, Tarichea also,
and Tiberias of Galilee; but over the rest of Judea he made Felix procurator.
This Felix took Eleazar the arch-robber, and many that were with him, alive,
when they had ravaged the country for twenty years together, and sent them
to Rome; but as to the number of the robbers whom he caused to be crucified,
and of those who were caught among them, and whom he brought to punishment,
they were a multitude not to be enumerated.
1 i.e. Herod king of Chalcis.
