The Antiquities of the Jews

4.265

Flavius Josephus

translated by William Whiston

265And thus it is that we bury all whom the laws condemn to die, upon any account whatsoever. Let our enemies that fall in battle be also buried; nor let any one dead body lie above the ground, or suffer a punishment beyond what justice requires.
