When Nicolaus had gone through all he had to say, Archelaus came,
and fell down before Caesar's knees, without any noise; - upon which he
raised him up, after a very obliging manner, and declared that truly he
was worthy to succeed his father. However, he still made no firm determination
in his case; but when he had dismissed those assessors that had been with
him that day, he deliberated by himself about the allegations which he
had heard, whether it were fit to constitute any of those named in the
testaments for Herod's successor, or whether the government should be parted
among all his posterity, and this because of the number of those that seemed
to stand in need of support therefrom.
