1. AND now as the ethnarchy of Archelaus was fallen into a Roman province,
the other sons of Herod, Philip, and that Herod who was called Antipas, each of them took upon them the administration of
their own tetrarchies; for when Salome died, she bequeathed to Julia, the wife of Augustus, both her toparchy, and Jamriga,
as also her plantation of palm trees that were in Phasaelis. But when the Roman empire was translated to Tiberius, the son
of Julia, upon the death of Augustus, who had reigned fifty-seven years, six months, and two days, both Herod and Philip continued
in their tetrarchies; and the latter of them built the city Cesarea, at the fountains of Jordan, and in the region
of Paneas; as also the city Julias, in the lower Gaulonitis. Herod also built the city Tiberius in Galilee, and in
Perea [beyond Jordan] another that was also called Julias.
