Note 136 — IV. HEROD THE GREAT
H. St. J. (Henry St. John) Thackeray translation
In the parallel passage (B.J. I. 660), “I know that the Jews will observe my death as a feast-day.” It has been thought that a festival on the second of the month Shebat, of which the occasion is unrecorded, may have commemorated Herod’s death.
