Abstract: Matthews, Christopher R. in: NTAb 42.2 (1998), 340-341: "The article reviews Josephus' references in War, Jewish Antiquities, and Life to Agrippa II's sister Bernice (with particular attention to the detailed reports in War 2:309-314 and Ant. 20:145-147) and seeks to determine their historical value. It concludes that Josephus' portrayal of Bernice in all three works is quite tendentious. Nevertheless, the kernel of the traditions is found in the histories of Tacitus, Suetonius and Cassius Dio".
