[195]
ABOUT this time it was that Antigonus, the son of Aristobulus, came
to Caesar, and became, in a surprising manner, the occasion of Antipater's
further advancement; for whereas he ought to have lamented that his father
appeared to have been poisoned on account of his quarrels with Pompey,
and to have complained of Scipio's barbarity towards his brother, and not
to mix any invidious passion when he was suing for mercy; besides those
things, he came before Caesar, and accused Hyrcanus and Antipater, how
they had driven him and his brethren entirely out of their native country,
and had acted in a great many instances unjustly and extravagantly with
relation to their nation; and that as to the assistance they had sent him
into Egypt, it was not done out of good-will to him, but out of the fear
they were in from former quarrels, and in order to gain pardon for their
friendship to [his enemy] Pompey.
