Article about Host #2
I thank, that before the departure he did not forget to visit the old host of burr. You,
probably know that I stayed by the procurator of eleven years. But even thus far I for
long served in the israelite, was struck into the recollections burr. - Tyrant did not
entrust to israelites, since itself was idumeem. Idumei, called also edomityanami,
these are the same nabateyskie Arabs, banished by host tribesmen from stony Arabia,
who only worship not to its own tribal gods, but to judaic host, whose temple stands in
Jerusalem. However, israelites did not love tyrant, since that not only did not always
observe judaic customs, but also he attempted to inculcate in its country Greek
dispositions. Therefore in the tyrant in the troops were many strange mercenaries.
Besides the Greeks, the Syrians yes of reached from Cleopatra four hundred galatov
presented by host August, he has four infantry cohorts and two cavalry they were
ruby-colored. Cavalry of the moving supports Of anniy Rufus, infantry - i. of the soldiers
of this the troops are called sebastiytsami, since are quartered they in Sebaste, as
that renamed by the tyrant of samarium now is called. After death of the host-tyrant of
both Antip and Arkhelay they departed into Rome so that August would judge, who of
them will become tsar. Bloody events in Jerusalem at this time began. The Sabinas,
which August ordered to conduct the inventory of entire host's property of the recently
buried tsar, engaged then Jerusalem temple, in order, from one side, not to allow the
possible plunder of the treasures stored there, with another - in order due to these
treasures to supplement its own purse. Then entire former army of tyrant, except
sebastiytsev, which were nevertheless most combat-effective part of this the host
troops, raised the uprising, to which were joined the host inhabitants of Jerusalem.
After arising to the side Sabina, we with our cohorts proved to be by the closed risen
israelites in the precipitated temple, and only the timely arrival of pitch with its host
legions saved our position.
- During these events I was still too young. In that year, when to me were carried out six
years, pitch was already consul, and I was introduced to the pitch later - already in
Germany. Then, into the consulate quint Sulpitsiya Of kamerina and Guy Poppeya
Sabina, geruski they enticed three our host legions into The tevtoburgskiy forest. In the battle they killed the legate of our legion and prefect of our cohort, and for me it was necessary to accept command to itself.
- I know. Your cohort was only from those, for whom it was possible to be pulled out from The tevtoburgskogo forest. About this then much spoke not only in Rome, but also in the provinces. But I at that time served already Arkhelayu. Although, no… Arkhelay was by that time already displaced. Yes, by that time I already began to command mercenaries in the Antips, and Rufus remained in Jerusalem and, after accepting Judaism, he became the chief of temple guards in this… in it was ana… Yes, precisely, in it is ana, which was placed Koponiy and which I then, already being epitropom, as was called in Greek prokuratorskaya post, it replaced by Elizar.
