Now when the Jews had said this, Nicolaus vindicated the kings from
those accusations, and said, that as for Herod, since he had never been
thus accused all the time of his life, it was not fit for those that might
have accused him of lesser crimes than those now mentioned, and might have
procured him to be punished during his lifetime, to bring an accusation
against him now he is dead. He also attributed the actions of Archlaus
to the Jews' injuries to him, who, affecting to govern contrary to the
laws, and going about to kill those that would have hindered them from
acting unjustly, when they were by him punished for what they had done,
made their complaints against him; so he accused them of their attempts
for innovation, and of the pleasure they took in sedition, by reason of
their not having learned to submit to justice and to the laws, but still
desiring to be superior in all things. This was the substance of what Nicolaus
said.
