THE FIFTH BOOK OF MACCABEES:
CONTAINING A RECORD OF EVENTS FROM THE TRANSLATION OF THE HEBREW SCRIPTURES INTO GREEK UNDER PTOLEMY PHILADELPHUS, (B.C. 277,) TO THE DEATH OF HEROD’s TWO SONS, IN THE FIFTH OR SIXTH YEAR BEFORE CHRIST.
CHAPTER XLVa
B.C.44
The history of Caesar’s death.
There were with Caesar two of Pompey’s friends; of whom the one was called Cassius, and the other Brutus; who laid a plot to kill Caesar. For which purpose they concealed themselves in the templeb at Rome which he had set apart for himself to pray in. To which therefore when he came, careless, safe, and taking no sort of heed to himself, they rushed upon him and killed him.
And Cassius got possession of the thronec, and gathered a large army, and transported it beyond the sea; fearing Caesar’s party if he should continue to reside at Rome. And he marched into the land of Asia and wasted it: from thence he went into the (B.C. 43) country of Judah: and Antipater wished to attack him; but seeing that his strength was not equal to the task, he made peace with him. And Cassius laid a tribute of seven hundred talents of goldd on the land of Judah; and Antipater bound himself as surety for the money; and charged his son Herod to raise it on the country of Judah, and to carry it to Cassius: who receiving it marched into the country of Macedonia, and there remained through fear of the Romans.
