[76]
He was also informed that there continued in Idumea ten thousand
men still in arms; but when he found that the Arabians did not act like
auxiliaries, but managed the war according to their own passions, and did
mischief to the country otherwise than he intended, and this out of their
hatred to Herod, he sent them away, but made haste, with his own legions,
to march against those that had revolted; but these, by the advice of Achiabus,
delivered themselves up to him before it came to a battle. Then did Varus
forgive the multitude their offenses, but sent their captains to Caesar
to be examined by him. Now Caesar forgave the rest, but gave orders that
certain of the king's relations (for some of those that were among them
were Herod's kinsmen) should be put to death, because they had engaged
in a war against a king of their own family. When therefore Varus had settled
matters at Jerusalem after this manner, and had left the former legion
there as a garrison, he returned to Antioch.
