However, the governors of Tiberias took care to have their city
secured with walls, and commanded their inhabitants to take their arms.
They also sent for a great man onathan,
therefore, and those that were with him, when they were departed from Tiberias,
and as soon as they were come to Dabaritta, a village that lay in the utmost
s; and, pretending
to know nothing about it, I sent a message to the people of Tiberias, and
advised them to lay their arms aside, and to dismiss their men, that they ire of
war against the citizens. As I was desirous to draw those men away from
Tiberias, I chose out ten thousand of the best of my armed men, and divided
them into t ndeed in the mountains, as did the others, but only four furlongs
distant from Tiberias; and gave orders, that when they saw my signal, they
should come down immediat myself lay with my soldiers in the
sight of every body. Hereupon the people of Tiberias, at the sight of me,
came running out of the city perpetually, and abused me g

But on the next day, I brought ten thousand armed men with me, and
came to Tiberias. I then sent for the principal men of the multitude into
the public place, and enjoined them to tell me who were the authors of
the revolt; and when they told me who the men were, I sent them bound to
the city Jotapata. But as to Jonathan and Anani em provisions for their journey, together with Simon
and Joazar, and five hundred armed men who should guard them; and so I
sent them to Jerusalem. The people of Tiberias also came to me again, and
desired that I would forgive them for what they had done; and they said
they would amend what they had done amiss with regard to me, b e had it out of the
plunder of the city, I had him punished with stripes; and I threatened
all the rest to inflict a severer punishment upon them, unless they produced
before us whatsoever they had plundered; and when a great many spoils were
brought together, I restored to every one of Tiberias what they claimed
to be their own.

Now, when I had settled the affairs of Tiberias, and had assembled
my friends as a sanhedrim, I consulted what I should do as to John. Whereupon
it appeared to be the opinion of all the Galileans, that I should arm them
all, and march against John, and punish him as the author of all the disorders
that had happened. Yet was not I pleased with their determination; as purposing
to compose these troubles without bloodshed. Upon this I exhorted them
to use the utmost care to learn the names of all that were under John;
which when they had done, and I thereby was apprized who the men were,
I published an edict, wherein I offered security and my right hand to such
of John's party as had a mind to repent; and I allowed twenty days' time
to such as would take this most advantageous course for themselves. I also
threatened, that unless they threw down their arms, I would burn their
houses, and expose their goods to public sale. When the men heard of this,
they were in no small disorder, and des

Nay, indeed, Tiberias had like to have been plundered by the Galileans
also upon the following occasion: - The chief men of the senate wrote to
the king, and desired that he would come to them, and take possession of
their city. The king promised to wer to
theirs, and gave it to one of his bed-chamber, whose name was Crispus,
and who was by birth a Jew, to carry it to Tiberias. When the Galileans
knew that this man carried such a letter, they caught him, and brought
him to me; but as soon as the quarters the next day, and came to the city Asochis, where I then lodged,
and made heavy clamors, and called the city of Tiberias a traitor to them,
and a friend to the king; and desired leave of me to go down and utterly
destroy it; for they bore thmade heavy clamors, and called the city of Tiberias a traitor to them,
and a friend to the king; and desired leave of me to go down and utterly
destroy it; for they bore the like ill-will to the people of Tiberias,
as they did to those of Sepphoris.

When I heard this, I was in doubt what to do, and hesitated by what
means I might deliver Tiberias from the rage of the Galileans; for I could
not deny that those of Tiborias had written to the king, and invited him
to come to them; for his letters t he truth of that. So I sat a long time musing with myself, and then
said to them, "I know well enough that the people of Tiberias have
offended; nor shall I forbid you to plunder the city. However, such things
ought to be done with discretion; for they of Tiberias have not been the
only betrayers of our liberty, but many of the most eminent patriots of
the Galileans, as they pretended to be, have done the same. Tarry therefore
till I shall thoroughly find out those authors of our danger, and the called Crispus privately, and
ordered him to make the soldier that kept him drunk, and to run away to
the king. So when Tiberias was in danger of being utterly destroyed a second
time, it escaped the danger by my skillful management, and the care th
