After this there happened a fight between the Galileans and the Samaritans;
it happened at a village called Geman, which is situate in the great plain
of Samaria; where, as a great number of Jews were going up to Jerusalem
to the feast [of tabernacles,] a certain Galilean was slain; and besides,
a vast number of people ran together out of Galilee, in order to fight
with the Samaritans. But the principal men among them came to Cumanus,
and besought him that, before the evil became incurable, he would come
into Galilee, and bring the authors of this murder to punishment; for that
there was no other way to make the multitude separate without coming to
blows. However, Cumanus postponed their supplications to the other affairs
he was then about, and sent the petitioners away without success.
