**Hordos** died in the 37th year of his reign, year 3761 (at age 70 [Sha'ar HaDorot 25]). At the beginning of his reign he was a man of violence and deceit, and easy to accept slander, and because of this he shed innocent blood. But he repented of his deeds and gave himself over to good qualities and did great good for Israel, loving the sages and honoring them. And he gave them provisions and sustenance, and he established Nesi'im from the house of David - Hillel and his sons.

And Israel found rest in his days, and his sons and grandsons reigned until the destruction of the Temple. And 5 days before his death he commanded to kill his son Antipater because of his evil deeds, and because he heard that he had killed his brothers and that Arkilos his son should reign in his lifetime [(Tzeda). And see Josephus chapter 60].

**Arkilos** (Archelaus) son of Hordos, whom Caesar Augustis made king in year 3761 [(and in Yuchsin Ma'amar 5 section 6, year 3865, typographical error)]. And he was cruel and wicked, and at the beginning of his reign on the festival of Matzot (Pesach) he killed 9,000 in the Temple of HaShem. And the Romans captured him and sent him to Rome where he died in year 3769, the 9th year of his reign. And the Caesar made Antipater, brother of Arkilos, king in his place, and he named him Hordos after his grandfather [(it should read: after his father), Tzeda].

And he reigned 13 years [(Sha'ar HaDorot 25)].

**Yeshu** (Jesus) HaNotzri was born in Beit Lechem Yehudah, a parasang and a half from Yerushalayim, in year 3761, year 42 of Caesar Augustis. And according to this, his birth was in the days of Rabbi Shimon ben Hillel and Rabban Yochanan ben Zakkai, and this is the beginning of the count of the Christians [(see above year 1460 and 3671 and 3724)]. (The count of years from Creation from year 3761 is 68 years before the destruction [Sha'ar HaDorot in the introduction]).

And in Chelek it says there were two Yoshu (Jesus) [(Tzeda chapter 2, see Rabbi Yehoshua ben Perachyah)].
