Note 37 — Chapter V · A.D. 135-323. THE JEWS UNDER THE ROMAN EMPERORS FROM ADRIAN TO CONSTANTINE.
Reading edition
According to others, it was the daughter of Aurelius who was healed. A deputation had been sent to protest against the severe edicts of Verus. The celebrated mystic, Simon ben Jochai, was the envoy, and he cast an evil spirit out of the Emperor’s daughter. The Rabbins assert also that Antoninus received circumcision. But their testimony on this, as on many similar matters, cannot be relied on.
