As also [I shall relate] how they built walls about the neighboring
cities; and how Nero, upon Cestius's defeat, was in fear of the entire
event of the war, and thereupon made Vespasian general in this war; and
how this Vespasian, with the elder of his sons Titus.
made an expedition into the country of Judea; what was the number of the
Roman army that he made use of; and how many of his auxiliaries were cut
off in all Galilee; and how he took some of its cities entirely, and by
force, and others of them by treaty, and on terms. Now, when I am come
so far, I shall describe the good order of the Romans in war, and the discipline
of their legions; the amplitude of both the Galilees, with its nature,
and the limits of Judea. And, besides this, I shall particularly go over
what is peculiar to the country, the lakes and fountains that are in them,
and what miseries happened to every city as they were taken; and all this
with accuracy, as I saw the things done, or suffered in them. For I sha

So when Gessius had been beaten, as we have said already, the principal
men of Jerusalem, seeing that the robbers and innovators had arms in great
plenty, and fearing lest they, while they were unprovided of arms, should
be in subjection to their enemies, which also came to be the case afterward;
and, being informed that all Galilee had not yet revolted from the Romans,
but that some part of it was still quiet; they sent me and two others of
the priests, who were men of excellent characters, Joazar and Judas, in
order to persuade the ill men there to lay down their arms, and to teach
them this lesson, - That it were better to have those arms reserved for
the most courageous men that the nation had [than to be kept there]; for
that it had been resolved, That those our best men should always have their
arms ready against futurity; but still so, that they should wait to see
what the Romans would do.

When I had therefore received these instructions, I came into Galilee,
and found the people of Sepphoris in no small agony about their country,
by reason that the Galileans had resolved to plunder it, on account of
the friendship they had with the Romans, and because they had given their
right hand, and made a league with Cestius Gallus, the president of Syria.
But I delivered them all out of the fear they were in, and persuaded the
multitude to deal kindly with them, and permitted them to send to those
that were their own hostages with Gessius to Dora, which is a city of Phoenicia,
as often as they pleased; though I still found the inhabitants of Tiberias
ready to take arms, and that on the occasion following: -

Now, as soon as I was come into Galilee, and had learned this state
of things by the information of such as told me of them, I wrote to the
sanhedrim at Jerusalem about them, and required their direction what I
should do. Their direction was, that I should continue there, and that,
if my fellow legates were willing, I should join with them in the care
of Galilee. But those my fellow legates, having gotten great riches from
those tithes which as priests were their dues, and were given to them,
dGalilee. But those my fellow legates, having gotten great riches from
those tithes which as priests were their dues, and were given to them,
determined to return to their own country. Yet when I desired them to stay
so long, that we might first settle the public affairs, they complied with
me. So I removed, together with them, from the city of Sepphoris, and came
to a certain village called Bethmaus, four furlongs distant from Tiberius;
and thence I sent messengers to the senate of Tiberius, and desired that
the principal men of the city would come to me: and when they were come,
Justus himself being also with them, I told them that

Now the multitude of the Galileans had that great kindness for me,
and fidelity to me, that when their cities were taken by force, and their
wives and children carried into slavery, they did not so deeply lament
for their own calamities, as they were solicitous for my preservation.
But when John saw this, he envied me, and wrote to me, desiring that I
would give him leave to come down, and make use of the hot-baths of Tiberias
for the recovery of the health of his body. Accordingly, I did not hinder
him, as having no suspicion of any wicked designs of his; and I wrote to
those to whom I had committed the administration of the affairs of Tiberius
by name, that they should provide a lodging for John, and for such as should
come with him, and should procure him what necessaries soever he should
stand in need of. Now at this time my abode was in a village of Galilee,
which is named Cans.
