-Ant XVIII 2, 2 -- [[Tiberius]] sent Valerius Gratus to be procurator of Judea, and to succeed [[Rufus|Annius Rufus]]. This man deprived [[Annas|Ananus]] of the high priesthood, and appointed Ismael, the son of Phabi, to be high priest. He also deprived him in a little time, and ordained Eleazar, the son of Ananus, who had been high priest before, to be high priest; which office, when he had held for a year, Gratus deprived him of it, and gave the high priesthood to Simon, the son of Camithus; and when he had possessed that dignity no longer than a year, [[Caiaphas|Joseph Caiaphas]] was made his successor. When Gratus had done those things, he went back to Rome, after he had tarried in Judea eleven years, when [[Pilate|Pontius Pilate]] came as his successor.
