* Seeing.
Felix, bad as he was, had certainly rendered some services to
Judaea. He had entirely subdued a very formidable banditti
which had infested the country, and sent their captain,
Eliezar, to Rome; had suppressed the sedition raised by the
Egyptian impostor (ch. 21:38); and had quelled a very
afflictive disturbance which took place between the Syrians
and Jews of C(9173)area. But, though Tertullus might truly say,
"by thee we enjoy great quietness," yet it is evident that he
was guilty of the grossest flattery, as we have seen both from
his own historians and Josephus, that he was both a bad man
and a bad governor.
