[336]
And on this day it was that the Romans slew all the multitude that
appeared openly; but on the following days they searched the hiding-places,
and fell upon those that were under ground, and in the caverns, and went
thus through every age, excepting the infants and the women, and of these
there were gathered together as captives twelve hundred; and as for those
that were slain at the taking of the city, and in the former fights, they
were numbered to be forty thousand. So Vespasian gave order that the city
should be entirely demolished, and all the fortifications burnt down. And
thus was Jotapata taken, in the thirteenth year of the reign of Nero, on
the first day of the month Panemus [Tamuz].
