**In the year** 20 of King Agrippos, which was year 3824, Caesar Nero sent to Yerushalayim a bull for an offering, crowned with a great golden crown and its horns plated with gold, upon it a covering of purple fabric with precious stones. But El'azar ben Anani and the zealots did not want to accept it and rose up against the Roman officials and killed them. Agrippos escaped and told Caesar Nero all that had befallen him.

The Caesar sent with him again his general Cestius with a huge and great army, and they fell before the zealots as slain, and they fled for their lives and returned to Rome in disgrace again [(Tzeda)].
