Reading edition
Many of the Sicarii and other fanatics managed to escape before the catastrophe of the First Jewish War to Egypt and the Cyrenaica, where they continued to commit outrages and make rebellion until they brought on themselves and their co-religionists the wrath of the Romans. See Josephus, Wars, Bk VII. cc. 10, 11. Cf. Renan, L’Antéchrist, p. 539; id., Les Évangiles, p. 369.
