The Wars of the Jews

5.22

Flavius Josephus

translated by William Whiston

22When, therefore, John was assaulted on both sides, he made his men turn about, throwing his darts upon those citizens that came up against him, from the cloisters he had in his possession, while he opposed those that attacked him from the temple by his engines of war.
