"Publius Servilius, the son of Publius, of the Galban tribe,
the proconsul, to the magistrates, senate, and people of the Mileslans,
sendeth greeting. Prytanes, the son of Hermes, a citizen of yours, came
to me when I was at Tralles, and held a court there, and informed me that
you used the Jews in a way different from my opinion, and forbade them
to celebrate their Sabbaths, and to perform the Sacred rites received from
their forefathers, and to manage the fruits of the land, according to their
ancient custom; and that he had himself been the promulger of your decree,
according as your laws require: I would therefore have you know, that upon
hearing the pleadings on both sides, I gave sentence that the Jews should
not be prohibited to make use of their own customs."
Flavius Josephus. The Works of Flavius Josephus. Translated by. William Whiston, A.M. Auburn and Buffalo. John E. Beardsley. 1895.
