So  Archelaus  complied  with  what  Herod  de-
sired, but  not  without  difficulty,  and  was  both
himself  reconciled  to  the  young  man  and  recon-
ciled his  father  to  him  also.  However,  he  said
lie  must,  by  all  means,  be  sent  to  Eome  to  dis-
course with  Csesar,  because  he  had  already  writ-
ten a  full  account  to  him  of  this  whole  matter.
6.  Thus  a  period  was  put  to  Archelaus's  stra-
tagem, whereby  he  delivered  his  son-in-law  out
of  the  dangers  he  was  in  :  but  when  these  recon-
ciliations were  over,  they  spent  their  time  in
feastings  and  agreeable  entei-tainments ;  and
when  Archelaus  was  going  away,  Herod  made
him  a  present  of  seventy  talents,  with  a  golden
throne  set  with  precious  stones,  and  some  eun-
uchs, and  a  concubine  who  was  called  Pannychis.
He  also  paid  due  honours  to  every  one  of  hia
friends  according  to  their  dignity.  In  like  man-
aer  did  all  the  king's  kindred,  by  his  command,
make  glorious  presents  to  Archelaus ;  and  so  he
was  conducted  on  his  waj'  by  Herod  and  his  no-
bility as  far  as  Antioch.
