[142]
Διαποροῦντος δ᾽ ἐπὶ πολὺν χρόνον στάσις τοῖς ἔνδον ἐμπίπτει,
τῶν μὲν Ἀριστοβούλου πολεμεῖν ἀξιούντων καὶ ῥύεσθαι τὸν
βασιλέα, τῶν δὲ τὰ Ὑρκανοῦ φρονούντων ἀνοίγειν Πομπηίῳ τὰς
πύλας: πολλοὺς δὲ τούτους ἐποίει τὸ δέος ἀφορῶντας εἰς τὴν τῶν
Ῥωμαίων εὐταξίαν.
[143]
ἡττώμενον δὲ τὸ Ἀριστοβούλου μέρος εἰς τὸ
ἱερὸν ἀνεχώρησεν καὶ τὴν συνάπτουσαν ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ τῇ πόλει γέφυραν
ἀποκόψαντες ἀντισχεῖν εἰς ἔσχατον παρεσκευάζοντο. τῶν δὲ ἑτέρων
δεχομένων Ῥωμαίους τῇ πόλει καὶ τὰ βασίλεια παραδιδόντων ἐπὶ
μὲν ταῦτα Πομπήιος ἕνα τῶν ὑφ᾽ ἑαυτῷ στρατηγῶν Πείσωνα
εἰσπέμπει μετὰ στρατιᾶς:
[144]
ὃς διαλαβὼν φρουραῖς τὴν πόλιν, ἐπειδὴ
τῶν εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν καταφυγόντων οὐδένα λόγοις ἔπειθεν συμβῆναι,
τὰ πέριξ εἰς προσβολὰς εὐτρέπιζεν ἔχων τοὺς περὶ τὸν Ὑρκανὸν εἴς
τε τὰς ἐπινοίας καὶ τὰς ὑπηρεσίας προθύμους.
Flavius Josephus. Flavii Iosephi opera. B. Niese. Berlin. Weidmann. 1895.
