But now another great number of the Galileans came together again
with their weapons, as knowing the man, how wicked and how sadly perjured
he was, and desired me to lead them against him and promised me that they
would utterly destroy both him and Gischala. Hereupon I professed that I was obliged
to them for their readiness to serve me, and that I would more than requite
their good-will to me. However, I entreated them to restrain themselves,
and begged of them to give me leave to do what I intended, which was to
put an end to these troubles without bloodshed; and when I had prevailed
with the multitude of the Galileans to let me do so, I came to Sepphoris.

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
to Cestius Gallus, who was pres uld come: and when I had learned so much, I
took the soldiers that were with me, and made an assault upon the people
of Sepphoris, and took the city by force. The Galileans took this opportunity,
as thinking they had now a proper time for showing th d, that,
by such a report being spread abroad, I might restrain the violence of
the Galileans, and preserve the city of Sepphoris. And at length this stratagem
had its effect; for, upon hearing this report, they were in fear for themselves,
and so t ecially,
because they saw me, their general, do the same also; for, that I might
cause this report to be believed, I pretended to be in fear as well as
they. Thus were the inhabitants of Sepphoris unexpectedly preserved by
this contrivance of mine.

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 come, and wrote a letter in answer 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 whole multitude heard of it, they were enraged,
and betook themselves to their arms. So a great many of them together from
all 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 the like ill-will to the people of Tiberias,
as they did to those of Sepphoris.
