The Wars of the Jews

6.191

Flavius Josephus

translated by William Whiston

191Now this cloister was burnt down as far as John’s tower, which he built in the war he made against Simon over the gates that led to the Xystus. The Jews also cut off the rest of that cloister from the temple, after they had destroyed those that got up to it.
