CAP. IIII.
How that Caius Caligula, exiling Herode with perpetuall banishment, created A∣grippa king of the Iewes. The commendation of Philo Iudaus.
TIberius when he had raygned about 22. yeares, died. him succeded Caius, which anone com∣mitted* 1.1 the principalitie of the Ievves vnto Agrippa, and together with his kingdome, the tetrarchies of Phillip and Lysanias, and not long after, the tetrarchy of Herode, which Herode together with Herodias beinge condemned for diuerse crimes and enormityes, was committed to perpetuall banishement. the same Herode was he which liued about the passion of Christ. these thinges Iosephus doth witnesse. About this tyme Philo did flourish, a man not onely excelling our owne men, but also such as passed in prophane knowledge, lineally by descent an Ebrue borne, in∣ferior to none of them which excelled at Alexandria. But what labour and industrye he hath em∣ployed in diuine discipline, and the profit of his natiue countrey, his workes now extant, playne∣ly doe declare, and how farre forth he preuayled in philosophicall, and liberall artes, of prophane knowledge, I suppose it nothing necessary to repeate. But imitating the trade of Plato and Py∣thagoras he is sayd to haue excelled all the learned of his tyme.
