aelus, her
first cousin, who was himself the son of Phasaelus, Herod's brother, her
father making the match; the other was Cypros, who was herself married
also to her first cousin Antipater, the son of Salome, Herod's sister.
Phasaelus had five children by Salampsio; Antipater, Herod, and
Alexander, and two daughters, Alexandra and Cypros; which last Agrippa,
the son of Aristobulus, married; and Timius of Cyprus married Alexandra;
he was a man of note, but had by her no children. Agrippa had by Cypros
two sons and three daughters, which daughters were named Bernice,
Mariarune, and Drusius; but the names of the sons were Agrippa and
Drusus, of which Drusus died before he came to the years of puberty; but
their father, Agrippa, was brought up with his other brethren, Herod and
Aristobulus, for these were also the sons of the son of Herod the Great
by Bernice; but Bernice was the daughter of Costobarus and of Salome,
who was Herod's sister. Aristobulus left these infants when he was slain
by his father, together with his brother Alexander, as we have already
related. But when they were arrived at years of puberty, this Herod, the
brother of Agrippa, married Mariamne, the daughter of Olympias, who was
the daughter of Herod the king, and of Joseph, the son of Joseph, who
was brother to Herod the king, and had by her a son, Aristobulus; but
Aristobulus, the third brother of Agrippa, married Jotape, the daughter
of Sampsigeramus, king of Emesa; they had a daughter who was deaf, whose
name also was Jotape; and these hitherto were the children of the male
line. But Herodias, their sister, was married to Herod [Philip], the son
of Herod the Great, who was born of Mariamne, the daughter of Simon the
high priest, who had a daughter, Salome; after whose birth Herodias took
upon her to confound the laws of our country, and divorced herself from
her husband while he was alive, and was married to Herod [Antipas], her
husband's brother by the father's side, he was tetrarch of Galilee;
but her daughter Salome was married to Philip, the son of Herod, and
tetrarch of Trachonitis; and as he died childless, Aristobulus, the
son of Herod, the brother of Agrippa, married her; they had three sons,
Herod, Agrippa, and Aristobulus; and this was the posterity of Phasaelus
and Salampsio. But the daughter of Antipater by Cypros was Cypros, whom
Alexas Selcias, the son of Alexas, married; they had a daughter, Cypros;
but Herod and Alexander, who, as we
