About this time there came an ambassador out of Cappadocia from Archelaus,
whose name was Melas; he was one of the principal rulers under him. So
Herod, being desirous to show Archelaus's ill-will to him, called for Alexander,
as he was in his bonds, and asked him again concerning his fight, whether
and how they had resolved to retire Alexander replied, To Archclaus, who
had promised to send them away to Rome; but that they had no wicked nor
mischievous designs against their father, and that nothing of that nature
which their adversaries had charged upon them was true; and that their
desire was, that he might have examined Tyrannus and Jucundus more strictly,
but that they had been suddenly slain by the means of Antipater, who put
his own friends among the multitude [for that purpose].
