46 “‘Thus all the people approved of granting Simon the right to act in accord with these decisions,
47 and Simon accepted and agreed to be high priest, governor, and ethnarch of the Jewish people and priests, and to have authority over all.’”
48 It was decreed that this inscription should be engraved on bronze tablets, to be set up in a conspicuous place in the precincts of the sanctuary,
49 and that copies of it should be deposited in the treasury, where they would be available to Simon and his sons.
