C. v. 4); thus the Jews by Caesar’s edict contributed every second year a fourth of the seed (Joseph, iv. 10, 6; comp. ii. 5); thus in Cilicia and Syria subsequently there was paid 5 per cent from estate (Appian.  Syr. 50), and in Africa also an apparently similar tax was paid—­in which case, we may add, the estate seems to have been valued
