Now any one may easily discover the temper of this man's mind, which
not only took pleasure in doing what he had done formerly against his relations,
out of the love of life, but by those commands of his which savored of
no humanity; since he took care, when he was departing out of this life,
that the whole nation should be put into mourning, and indeed made desolate
of their dearest kindred, when he gave order that one out of every family
should be slain, although they had done nothing that was unjust, or that
was against him, nor were they accused of any other crimes; while it is
usual for those who have any regard to virtue to lay aside their hatred
at such a time, even with respect to those they justly esteemed their enemies.
