But Quadratus put both parties off for that time, and told them,
that when he should come to those places, he would make a diligent inquiry
after every circumstance. After which he went to Cesarea, and crucified
all those whom Cumanus had taken alive; and when from thence he was come
to the city Lydda, he heard the affair of the Samaritans, and sent for
eighteen of the Jews, whom he had learned to have been concerned in that
fight, and beheaded them; but he sent two others of those that were of
the greatest power among them, and both Jonathan and Ananias, the high
priests, as also Artanus the son of this Ananias, and certain others that
were eminent among the Jews, to Caesar; as he did in like manner by the
most illustrious of the Samaritans. He also ordered that Cureanus [the
procurator] and Celer the tribune should sail to Rome, in order to give
an account of what had been done to Caesar. When he had finished these
matters, he went up from Lydda to Jerusalem, and finding the multitude
celebrating their feast of unleavened bread without any tumult, he returned
to Antioch.
