When I had therefore received these instructions, I came into Galilee,
and found the people of Sepphoris in no small agony about their country,
by reason that the Galileans had resolved to plunder it, on account of
the friendship they had with the Romans, and because they had given their
right hand, and made a league with Cestius Gallus, the president of Syria.
But I delivered them all out of the fear they were in, and persuaded the
multitude to deal kindly with them, and permitted them to send to those
that were their own hostages with Gessius to Dora, which is a city of Phoenicia,
as often as they pleased; though I still found the inhabitants of Tiberias
ready to take arms, and that on the occasion following: -

But about this time it was that the people of Sepphoris grew insolent,
and took up arms, out of a confidence they had in the strength of their
walls, and because they saw me engaged in other affairs also. So they sent

since they bore ill-will to that city also. They then exerted themselves,
as if they would destroy them all utterly, with those that sojourned there
also. So they ran upon them, and set their houses on fire, as finding them
without inhabitants; for the men, out of fea

remarked these things owing to the fairness of the summer season which Egypt and Syria amply possess, so that they constantly beheld the whole mass, one may say, of stars revealed to their sight, since they had got then, continually without obstruction of clouds and rains in the sky; whence they have emerged in every direction and in ours likewise, after having been examined for thousands of years, nay, for an infinite time. And therefore we should not hesitate to include them in the scope of our laws; for to have divine things lacking honor, while other things are honored,
when someone expresses it; but it is through learning, as we declare, that one must believe it.But there is one point which every Greek should bear in mind—that of all Greeks we have a situation which is about the most favorable to human excellence.Cf. Plato, Tim. 24 C. The praiseworthy thing in it that we have to mention is that it may be taken as midway between a wintry and a summery climate; and our climate, being inferior in its summer to that in the region over there,Syria and Egypt; cf. 987 A. as we said, has been so much later in imparting the cognizance of these cosmic deities.
