Josephus states that Ananus (Ananias), the son of Annas, had “servants who were utter rascals and who [would] take by force the tithes of the priests; nor did they refrain from beating those who refused to give. ”
Josefs Flāvijs rakstīja, ka Annas dēla Anana ” kalpi bija pēdējie nelieši, kas.. ar varu piesavinājās desmito tiesu, kura pienācās priesteriem; tos, kas izrādīja pretestību, viņi piekāva ”.
