[67]
Πρὸς δὲ τὰς εὐπραγίας αὐτοῦ τε Ἰωάννου καὶ τῶν παίδων
φθόνος ἐγείρει στάσιν τῶν ἐπιχωρίων, καὶ πολλοὶ κατ᾽ αὐτῶν
συνελθόντες οὐκ ἠρέμουν, μέχρι καὶ πρὸς φανερὸν πόλεμον ἐκριπισθέντες
ἡττῶνται.
[68]
τὸ λοιπὸν δ᾽ ἐπιβιοὺς ἐν εὐδαιμονίᾳ Ἰωάννης
καὶ τὰ κατὰ τὴν ἀρχὴν κάλλιστα διοικήσας ἐν τρισὶν ὅλοις καὶ
τριάκοντα ἔτεσιν ἐπὶ πέντε υἱοῖς τελευτᾷ, μακαριστὸς ὄντως καὶ
κατὰ μηδὲν ἐάσας ἐφ᾽ ἑαυτῷ μεμφθῆναι τὴν τύχην. τρία γοῦν
τὰ κρατιστεύοντα μόνος εἶχεν, τήν τε ἀρχὴν τοῦ ἔθνους καὶ τὴν
ἀρχιερωσύνην καὶ προφητείαν:
[69]
ὡμίλει γὰρ αὐτῷ τὸ δαιμόνιον ὡς
μηδὲν τῶν μελλόντων ἀγνοεῖν, ὅς γε καὶ περὶ δύο τῶν πρεσβυτέρων
υἱῶν ὅτι μὴ διαμενοῦσι κύριοι τῶν πραγμάτων προεῖδέν τε καὶ
προεφήτευσεν: ὧν τὴν καταστροφὴν ἄξιον ἀφηγήσασθαι, παρ᾽ ὅσον
τῆς πατρῴας εὐδαιμονίας ἀπέκλιναν.
Flavius Josephus. Flavii Iosephi opera. B. Niese. Berlin. Weidmann. 1895.
