NOW as to the many things in which Nero acted like a madman, out
of the extravagant degree of the felicity and riches which he enjoyed,
and by that means used his good fortune to the injury of others; and after
what manner he slew his brother, and wife, and mother, from whom his barbarity
spread itself to others that were most nearly related to him; and how,
at last, he was so distracted that he became an actor in the scenes, and
upon the theater, - I omit to say any more about them, because there are
writers enough upon those subjects every where; but I shall turn myself
to those actions of his time in which the Jews were concerned.
