Many writers of the Roman history give an account of this murder of Sextus Caesar, and of the war of Apamia upon that occasion.

They are cited in Dean Aldrich's note.
[14] In the Antiquities, B.XIV.

ch.11.sect.1, the duration of the reign of Julius Caesar is three years six months; but here three years seven months, beginning nightly, says Dean Aldrich, from his second dictatorship.

It is probable the real duration might be three years and between six and seven months.
[15] It appears evidently by Josephus's accounts, both here and in his Antiquities, B.XIV.

ch.11.sect.2, that this Cassius, one of Caesar's murderers, was a bitter oppressor, and exactor of tribute in Judea.
These seven hundred talents amount to about three hundred thousand pounds sterling, and are about half the yearly revenues of king Herod afterwards.
