Now Cumanus, and the principal of the Samaritans, who were sent to
Rome, had a day appointed them by the emperor whereon they were to have
pleaded their cause about the quarrels they had one with another. But now
Caesar's freed-men and his friends were very zealous on the behalf of Cumanus
and the Samaritans; and they had prevailed over the Jews, unless Agrippa,
junior, who was then at Rome, had seen the principal of the Jews hard set,
and had earnestly entreated Agrippina, the emperor's wife, to persuade
her husband to hear the cause, so as was agreeable to his justice, and
to condemn those to be punished who were really the authors of this revolt
from the Roman government: - whereupon Claudius was so well disposed beforehand,
that when he had heard the cause, and found that the Samaritans had been
the ringleaders in those mischievous doings, he gave order that those who
came up to him should be slain, and that Cureanus should be banished. He
also gave order that Celer the tribune should be carried back to Jerusalem,
and should be drawn through the city in the sight of all the people, and
then should be slain.
