[29] τοῦτον μὲν δὴ καθάπερ ἐν τοῖς ἀγῶσιν ἔφεδρον ὑπολαβὼν εἶναι καταπαλαίει, μήτε συντροφίας μήτε οἰκειότητος μήτε ἡλικίας οἶκτον
λαβών, δύστηνον, ὠκύμορον, συνάρχοντα, συγκληρονόμον, τὸν ἐλπισθέντα ποτὲ καὶ μόνον αὐτοκράτορα διὰ τὴν πρὸς Τιβέριον ἐγγυτάτω συγγένειαν· υἱωνοὶ γὰρ πατέρων ἀποθανόντων ἐν υἱῶν τάξει παρὰ πάπποις καταριθμοῦνται.

On the Virtues and on the Office of Ambassadors. Adressed to Caius First1KGreek (The works of Philo Judaeus, the contemporary of Josephus, Volume 4. Yonge, C. D., translator. London: Henry G. Bohn, 1855.) — 29 focus

[29] Accordingly, looking upon this youth to be like a thirds-man in the games, he proceeded to overthrow him, feeling no compassion, either for the fact of his having been brought up with him, or his being so nearly related to him, or for his age, but having no idea of sparing this miserable youth, doomed to an early death; his own partner in the government, his co-heir, who had formerly been expected to be all but the absolute emperor, by reason of his being the nearest relation to Tiberius; for when their fathers are dead, the grandsons are usually looked upon by their grandfathers as standing in the position of sons.
