Thus a period was put to Archelaus's stratagem, whereby he delivered
his son-in-law out of the dangers he was in; but when these reconciliations
were over, they spent their time in feastings and agreeable entertainments.
And when Archelaus was going away, Herod made him a present of seventy
talents, with a golden throne set with precious stones, and some eunuchs,
and a concubine who was called Pannychis. He also paid due honors to every
one of his friends according to their dignity. In like manner did all the
king's kindred, by his command, make glorious presents to Archelaus; and
so he was conducted on his way by Herod and his nobility as far as Antioch.
