[242]
But when Caesar and Antony had slain Cassius near Philippi, and Caesar
was gone to Italy, and Antony to Asia, amongst the rest of the cities which
sent ambassadors to Antony unto Bithynia, the great men of the Jews came
also, and accused Phasaelus and Herod, that they kept the government by
force, and that Hyrcanus had no more than an honorable name. Herod appeared
ready to answer this accusation; and having made Antony his friend by the
large sums of money which he gave him, he brought him to such a temper
as not to hear the others speak against him; and thus did they part at
this time.
