[106]
But Titus, intending to pitch his camp nearer to the city than Scopus,
placed as many of his choice horsemen and footmen as he thought sufficient
opposite to the Jews, to prevent their sallying out upon them, while he
gave orders for the whole army to level the distance, as far as the wall
of the city. So they threw down all the hedges and walls which the inhabitants
had made about their gardens and groves of trees, and cut down all the
fruit trees that lay between them and the wall of the city, and filled
up all the hollow places and the chasms, and demolished the rocky precipices
with iron instruments; and thereby made all the place level from Scopus
to Herod's monuments, which adjoined to the pool called the Serpent's Pool.
