Herod was also a lover of his father, if any other person ever was
so; for he made a monument for his father, even that city which he built
in the finest plain that was in his kingdom, and which had rivers and trees
in abundance, and named it Antipatris. He also built a wall about a citadel
that lay above Jericho, and was a very strong and very fine building, and
dedicated it to his mother, and called it Cypros. Moreover, he dedicated
a tower that was at Jerusalem, and called it by the name of his brother
Phasaelus, whose structure, largeness, and magnificence we shall describe
hereafter. He also built another city in the valley that leads northward
from Jericho, and named it Phasaelis.
