Statement

Josephus relates that, once the war in Judea was lost, surviving rebels tried to carry the revolt to Egypt and Cyrene, in today's Libya. They were turned in to the Romans by Jews who wanted no trouble. Their instinct was not absurd, however: those communities would eventually revolt, only decades later.
