Syria (Syria) (search for this): book 2, chapter 2
These and like thoughts made
him waver between hope and fear; but hope triumphed. Some supposed that he
retraced his steps for love of Queen Berenice, nor was his young heart
averse to her charms, but this affection occasioned no hindrance to action.
He passed, it is true, a youth enlivened by pleasure, and practised more
self-restraint in his own than in his father's reign. So, after coasting Achaia and Asia, leaving the

the temple of the Paphian Venus, a place of celebrity both among natives and
foreigners. It will not be a tedious digression to record briefly the origin
of the worship, the ceremonial of the temple, and the form under which the
goddess is adored, a form found in no other place.
