The Country Doctor The tetrarch stammered in attempting to reply to the query of the proconsul. Herodias He did not choose among his glittering possibilities, he did not say what he was going to be, proconsul, ambassador, statesman, for days. The Research Magnificent Without touching directly upon the question of the coveted offices of public sacrificers, each one laid his own grievances before the proconsul. Herodias Several men whom Antipas had recognised as hired assassins from Jerusalem, had escorted the priests in the train of the proconsul; they all carried daggers concealed beneath their robes. Herodias He said he supposed the proconsul was the friend of Caligula, who often visited Agrippa; and expressed a surmise that he himself might be exiled, or that perhaps his throat would be cut.
