From the Taking of Jerusalem by Antiochus Epiphanes to the Death of Herod the Great - Flavius Josephus

Chapter 10
Caesar Makes Antipater Procurator of Judea
1. About this time it was that Antigonus, the son of Aristobulus, came to
Caesar, and became, in a surprising manner, the occasion of Antipater's
further advancement; for whereas he ought to have lamented that his father
appeared to have been poisoned on account of his quarrels with Pompey, and
to have complained of Scipio's barbarity towards his brother, and not to mix
any invidious passion when he was suing for mercy; besides those things, he
came before Caesar, and accused Hyrcanus and Antipater, how they had
driven him and his brethren entirely out of their native country, and had
acted in a great many instances unjustly and extravagantly with relation to
their nation; and that as to the assistance they had sent him into Egypt, it was
not done out of good-will to him, but out of the fear they were in from
former quarrels, and in order to gain pardon for their friendship to [his
enemy] Pompey.
2. Hereupon Antipater threw away his garments, and showed the
multitude of the wounds he had, and said, that as to his good-will to Caesar,
he had no occasion to say a word, because his body cried aloud, though he
said nothing himself; that he wondered at Antigonus's boldness, while he was
himself no other than the son of an enemy to the Romans, and of a fugitive,
and had it by inheritance from his father to be fond of innovations and
seditions, that he should undertake to accuse other men before the Roman
governor, and endeavor to gain some advantages to himself, when he ought
to be contented that he was suffered to live; for that the reason of his desire
of governing public affairs was not so much because he was in want of it, but
because, if he could once obtain the same, he might stir up a sedition among
the Jews, and use what he should gain from the Romans to the disservice of
those that gave it him.
