[390]
Κατὰ τοῦτον δὲ τὸν καιρὸν Ἰοῦστος ὁ Πιστοῦ παῖς λαθὼν
ἐμὲ διαδιδράσκει πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα. τὴν αἰτίαν δὲ δι᾽ ἣν
τοῦτ᾽ ἔπραξεν ἀφηγήσομαι.
[391]
λαβόντος ἀρχὴν Ἰουδαίοις τοῦ πρὸς
Ῥωμαίους πολέμου Τιβεριεῖς διεγνώκεισαν ὑπακούειν βασιλεῖ καὶ
Ῥωμαίων μὴ ἀφίστασθαι. πείθει δ᾽ αὐτοὺς Ἰοῦστος ἐφ᾽ ὅπλα
χωρῆσαι νεωτέρων αὐτὸς ἐφιέμενος πραγμάτων καὶ δι᾽ ἐλπίδος
ἔχων ἄρξειν Γαλιλαίων τε καὶ τῆς ἑαυτοῦ πατρίδος.
[392]
οὐ μὴν τῶν
προσδοκηθέντων ἐπέτυχεν: Γαλιλαῖοί τε γὰρ ἐχθρῶς ἔχοντες πρὸς
τοὺς Τιβεριεῖς διὰ μῆνιν ὧν ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ πρὸ τοῦ πολέμου πεπόνθεισαν,
[393]
οὐκ ἠνείχοντο στρατηγοῦντος αὐτῶν Ἰούστου, κἀγὼ δὲ τὴν
προστασίαν τῆς Γαλιλαίας πιστευθεὶς ὑπὸ τοῦ κοινοῦ τῶν Ἱεροσολυμιτῶν,
πολλάκις εἰς τοσαύτην ἧκον ὀργήν, ὡς ὀλίγου δεῖν ἀποκτεῖναι
τὸν Ἰοῦστον, φέρειν αὐτοῦ τὴν μοχθηρίαν οὐ δυνάμενος.
δείσας οὖν ἐκεῖνος, μὴ καὶ λάβῃ τέλος ἅπαξ ὁ θυμός, ἔπεμψε πρὸς
βασιλέα Κρῖσπον ἀσφαλέστερον οἰκήσειν παρ᾽ ἐκείνῳ νομίζων.
Flavius Josephus. Flavii Iosephi opera. B. Niese. Berlin. Weidmann. 1890.
