Commotion in Dio-Caesarea (Sepphoris)
About the same time, another internal commotion arose in the East. For the Jews who inhabited Dio- Caesarea in Palestine took up arms against the Romans and began to ravage the adjacent places. But Gallus, who was also called Constantius, whom the emperor, after creating Caesar, had sent into the East, dispatched an army against them and completely vanquished them. Afterward, he ordered that their city Dio-Caesarea be razed to the foundations.
