22. Therefore, he executed these who had acted as traitors, and he quickly captured the two towers.

23. And so, having success in arms and in all things that he took in hand, he destroyed more than twenty thousand in the two fortresses.

24. And Timothy, who had been overcome by the Jews before, calling together a multitude of foreign troops and gathering horsemen from Asia, arrived as if he would capture Judea with arms.
