First - century Jewish historian Flavius Josephus, in his work The Life, claimed that his ancestors were priests and that on his mother’s side, he was “of royal blood. ”
Pirmā gadsimta ebreju vēsturnieks Josefs Flāvijs savā autobiogrāfijā apgalvoja, ka viņa priekšteči ir bijuši priesteri un ka no mātes puses viņš ir ” ķēnišķīgas izcelsmes ”.
