NOW, upon the flight of Pompey and of the senate beyond the Ionian
Sea, Caesar got Rome and the empire under his power, and released Aristobulus
from his bonds. He also committed two legions to him, and sent him in haste
into Syria, as hoping that by his means he should easily conquer that country,
and the parts adjoining to Judea. But envy prevented any effect of Aristobulus's
alacrity, and the hopes of Caesar; for he was taken off by poison given
him by those of Pompey's party; and, for a long while, he had not so much
as a burial vouchsafed him in his own country; but his dead body lay [above
ground], preserved in honey, until it was sent to the Jews by Antony, in
order to be buried in the royal sepulchers.
