"Caius Cqesar, imperator, dictator the fourth time, and consul
the fifth time, declared to be perpetual dictator, made this speech concerning
the rights and privileges of Hyrcanus, the son of Alexander, the high priest
and ethnarch of the Jews. Since those imperators 1
that have been in the provinces before me have borne witness to Hyrcanus,
the high priest of the Jews, and to the Jews themselves, and this before
the senate and people of Rome, when the people and senate returned their
thanks to them, it is good that we now also remember the same, and provide
that a requital be made to Hyrcanus, to the nation of the Jews, and to
the sons of Hyrcanus, by the senate and people of Rome, and that suitably
to what good-will they have shown us, and to the benefits they have bestowed
upon us."
1 Dr. Hudson justly supposes that the Roman imperators, or generals of armies, meant both here and sect. 2, who gave testimony to Hyrcanus's and the Jews' faithfulness and goodwill to the Romans before the senate and people of Rome, were principally Pompey, Scaurus, and Gabinius ;of all whom Josephus had already given us the history, so far as the Jews were concerned with them.
