[181]
But when Caius was made Caesar, he released Agrippa from his bonds,
and made him king of Philip's tetrarchy, who was now dead; but when Agrippa
had arrived at that degree of dignity, he inflamed the ambitious desires
of Herod the tetrarch, who was chiefly induced to hope for the royal authority
by his wife Herodias, who reproached him for his sloth, and told him that
it was only because he would not sail to Caesar that he was destitute of
that great dignity; for since Caesar had made Agrippa a king, from a private
person, much mole would he advance him from a tetrarch to that dignity.
These arguments prevailed with Herod, so that he came to Caius, by whom
he was punished for his ambition, by being banished into Spain; for Agrippa
followed him, in order to accuse him; to whom also Caius gave his tetrarchy,
by way of addition. So Herod died in Spain, whither his wife had followed
him.
