[307]
But Herod followed them, and slew them as he followed them, and destroyed
a great part of them, till those that remained were scattered beyond the
river [Jordan;] and Galilee was freed from the terrors they had been under,
excepting from those that remained, and lay concealed in caves, which required
longer time ere they could be conquered. In order to which Herod, in the
first place, distributed the fruits of their former labors to the soldiers,
and gave every one of them a hundred and fifty drachmae of silver, and
a great deal more to their commanders, and sent them into their winter
quarters. He also sent to his youngest brother Pheroas, to take care of
a good market for them, where they might buy themselves provisions, and
to build a wall about Alexandrium; who took care of both those injunctions
accordingly.
