by the envy of those destined for him; following: grace. And most wickedly in the zone of this crime; he provoked the punishment of Mehamorianus. Because a certain Razias, one of the elders from Jerusalem, was reported to Nicanor as a friend original: "Razias ex senioribꝰ". Razias was a Jewish elder who committed suicide rather than fall into the hands of Nicanor, as recounted in 2 Maccabees 14.. Since these things were constructed by the meddler: he brought both the yoke and the wine; these things which they contain from the Jews; nothing is burned except by fire. But because he sought peace: in what way he might find it; he delighted in the voice; which before the work in the ambushes. and so forth.

When he had seen Maccabeus; he wished to act as a meddler for his servant: and he established the hidden ferocity; Nicanor found it unusual that the yoke was in the camp; he was initiated a little by that austerity; he recognized it; or that he found himself in the gore. Since he wished to acquire the servant of Maccabeus; he did not know he wished for the yoke of his friend.

Nicanor, however, having recognized his own; the sacrifices were ordered for Maccabeus; where they were ordered; he came with help for all the Jews: he would take them for himself; when he saw the gate: he went out. He spoke in vain toward the temple in front. Nor were the judgments of the Jewish meddler ordered.

For some, wishing to display the ornament of their speech and seeking glory therefrom, approach this part of writing. Others, to return favor to those about whom it happens the writing is made, have contended with labor in the same work beyond their strength.

one another they differ greatly. For some of them, wishing
to display the ornament of their speech and seeking glory therefrom,
approach this part of writing. Others, to return favor
to those about whom it happens the writing is made; in
the same work they have contended with labor beyond their strength. Some indeed
were forced by the very necessity of matters; so that they might collect
those things in which they participated into the declaration of scripture. Many,
however, were invited by the magnitude of useful things lying in secret;
so that they might lead forth history from these for the common utility.

Of these aforementioned causes, therefore; the last two have also
come to me. Namely the war which was between us and the Romans; we Jews
were the ones who waged it; and its outcome they shall know from the merit itself;
we were forced to narrate on account of those who corrupt the truth by a
distorted writing. I have undertaken the present work; believing
it to be a study worthy of appearing to all the Greeks. It contains
the whole of our antiquity and the order of the state This is the start of Flavius Josephus's Antiquities of the Jews, written in the late 1st century AD to explain Jewish history to a Roman and Greek audience.
examined in order according to our interpretation of the Hebrew letters. For while indeed
I was engaged in wars; I had in mind to declare who the Jews were in the beginning,
and what fortunes they enjoyed, and by what law they were trained and
educated. This, as it pertains to piety and the assembly of virtue, I would
touch upon; and through how long a time of kinship; the lineage
came to the Romans. But since the work of that order is joined; and very complex; I divide the volume of the book. Disposing the beginning. and it will be. the investigation itself joined
with my own mind. For as time proceeded. but those things which

by the desire of history: it is joined; and it is ordered; and the father
of all things is joined and ordered; or as he would wish his own to be ordered and dispersed; and
it is joined; is ordered; the joined would wish. For indeed with the king of the Ptolemies
the greatest writer of the yoke is joined; he orders; he sent the greatest yoke for a very firm cause;
and in all things joined and ordered; joined and ordered; and he would wish for the yoke to be ordered; the yoke;
the lines of the yoke he would wish, he would wish. Truly the order of the times of the Hebrews;
when he would wish and the bay and the joined would wish for it to be ordered; and the joined is ordered. he would wish for the yoke.
