Berenice’s Petitions on Behalf of Justus

And you, Justus, would have paid the penalty by the order of Vespasian, had not King Agrippa, although he received the authority to put you to death, [merely] imprisoned you in chains for a long time thanks to the ongoing petitions of his sister Berenice.

[ . . . ] And I indeed am a wicked man, so you claim! Then why did King Agrippa, who granted you your life when you had been condemned to death by Vespasian and who endowed you with so many riches, twice thereafter place you in chains and so often enjoin you to flee from your homeland, and after ordering for you to be put to death then grant you deliverance thanks to the ongoing petitions of his sister Berenice?
