[550]
And now Herod accused the captains and Tero in an assembly of the
people, and brought the people together in a body against them; and accordingly
there were they put to death, together with [Trypho] the barber; they were
killed by the pieces of wood and the stones that were thrown at them. He
also sent his sons to Sebaste, a city not far from Cesarea, and ordered
them to be there strangled; and as what he had ordered was executed immediately,
so he commanded that their dead bodies should be brought to the fortress
Alexandrium, to be buried with Alexander, their grandfather by the mother's
side. And this was the end of Alexander and Aristobulus.
