Herod  also  was  grieved  by  the  dishonour  that
was  done  him,  because  he  had  bestowed  many
favours  upon  him,  and  had  advanced  him  to  that
height  of  power  that  he  was  almost  a  partner
with  him  in  the  kingdom  ;  and  saw  that  he  had
not  made  him  a  due  return  for  his  favours,  and
esteemed  himself  unliapjjy  on  that  account.  So
upon  Pheroras's  unwortliy  refusal,  he  gave  the
damsel  to  Phasaelus's  son ;  but  after  some  time,
when  he  thought  the  lieat  of  his  brother's  affec-
tions was  over,  he  lilamed  him  for  his  former
conduct,  and  desired  him  to  take  his  second
daughter,  whose  name  was  Cyi)ros.  Ptolemy
also  advised  him  to  leave  off  affronting  his
brother,  and  to  forsake  her  whom  he  had  loved,
for  that  it  was  a  base  thing  to  bo  so  enamourc<l
of  a  Bei"vant,  as  to  deprive  himself  of  the  king's
good-will  to  him,  and  become  an  occiusjon  of  Ids
trouble.,  and  make  himself  hated  by  hiiu.
