[236]
WHEN Cassius was gone out of Syria, another sedition arose at Jerusalem,
wherein Felix assaulted Phasaelus with an army, that he might revenge the
death of Malichus upon Herod, by falling upon his brother. Now Herod happened
then to be with Fabius, the governor of Damascus, and as he was going to
his brother's assistance, he was detained by sickness; in the mean time,
Phasaelus was by himself too hard for Felix, and reproached Hyrcanus on
account of his ingratitude, both for what assistance he had afforded Maliehus,
and for overlooking Malichus's brother, when he possessed himself of the
fortresses; for he had gotten a great many of them already, and among them
the strongest of them all, Masada.
