[132]
SO Vespasian marched to the city Gadara, and took it upon the first
onset, because he found it destitute of any considerable number of men
grown up and fit for war. He came then into it, and slew all the youth,
the Romans having no mercy on any age whatsoever; and this was done out
of the hatred they bore the nation, and because of the iniquity they had
been guilty of in the affair of Cestius. He also set fire not only to the
city itself, but to all the villas and small cities that were round about
it; some of them were quite destitute of inhabitants, and out of some of
them he carried the inhabitants as slaves into captivity.
