Archelaus , post longa certamina cum fratribus, dyarchus ydumee et judee factus, promissione regni elatus, ob tyrannidem apud cesarem accusatus, uiennam est in exilium relegatus ; cuius finibus in prouinciam redactis, procurator missus est judee componius .

Archelaus, after a long struggle with his brothers, was made diarch of Idumea and Judea. Elated by the promise of a kingdom, he was accused of tyranny before Caesar, and exiled to Vienne. The borders of his lands were reduced to a province and Componius was sent to Judea as overseer.
