General Cornelius Flavius Silva : Punishment as prescribed for these actions is that you be flayed alive and then beheaded with your own swords. For such punishment also denotes a military death and that is too good for you.
Albinus : It wasn't to good for Quadratus.
Plinius : And Merovius.
General Cornelius Flavius Silva : They were brighter than you! I don't think they'll be too pleased to welcome you into the presence of the immortals. Therefore this is my judgement. Since you are so anxious to leave us you shall have your wish. You will be taken to the gates of this camp and turned into the desert without food, without water and without your boots. Before you are set free you will be circumcized. Perhaps then if you meet any Jews in the wilderness they will be merciful enough to kill you.
