Περιέρχεται δὲ αὐτῶν ἡ τίσις εἰς τὸν ἀδελφὸν Ἀντίγονον,
ὃν ἠγάπα τε καὶ τῆς βασιλείας κοινωνὸν εἶχεν: κτείνει γὰρ καὶ
τοῦτον ἐκ διαβολῶν, ἃς οἱ πονηροὶ τῶν κατὰ τὸ βασίλειον ἐνεσκευάσαντο.
τὰ μὲν δὴ πρῶτα διηπίστει τοῖς λεγομένοις ὁ Ἀριστόβουλος
ἅτε δὴ καὶ τὸν ἀδελφὸν ἀγαπῶν καὶ διδοὺς φθόνῳ τὰ πολλὰ τῶν
λογοποιουμένων.
[73]
ὡς δ᾽ ὁ Ἀντίγονος λαμπρὸς ἀπὸ στρατείας ἦλθεν
εἰς τὴν ἑορτήν, ἐν ᾗ σκηνοποιεῖσθαι πάτριον τῷ θεῷ, συνέβη μὲν
κατ᾽ ἐκείνας τὰς ἡμέρας νόσῳ χρήσασθαι τὸν Ἀριστόβουλον, τὸν
δὲ Ἀντίγονον ἐπὶ τέλει τῆς ἑορτῆς ἀναβάντα μετὰ τῶν περὶ αὐτὸν
ὁπλιτῶν ὡς ἐνῆν μάλιστα κεκοσμημένον προσκυνῆσαι τὸ πλέον
ὑπὲρ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ.
[74]
κἀν τούτῳ προσιόντες οἱ πονηροὶ τῷ βασιλεῖ τήν
τε πομπὴν τῶν ὁπλιτῶν ἐδήλουν καὶ τὸ παράστημα τοῦ Ἀντιγόνου
μεῖζον ἢ κατ᾽ ἰδιώτην, ὅτι τε παρείη μετὰ μεγίστου συντάγματος
ἀναιρήσων αὐτόν: οὐ γὰρ ἀνέχεσθαι τιμὴν μόνον ἐκ βασιλείας ἔχων,
παρὸν αὐτὴν κατασχεῖν.
Flavius Josephus. Flavii Iosephi opera. B. Niese. Berlin. Weidmann. 1895.
