the Ethiopic text of Josephus

This is an email I received from an inquiry into a variant text of Josephus which is an integral part of the Ethiopic canon:

Dear Stephan,
Your question regarding the text of Josephus finally landed on my table (I am a member of the Encyclopaedia Aethiopica, responsible, more or less for the Ethiopic literature). I follow Murad Kamil’s edition, Des Josef Ben Gorion (Josippon) Geschichte der Juden, New York 1937; further MK).

Indeed, the Ethiopic version, called Zena Ayhud, reports of two Agrippas: the first is a son of Astrobolos (I keep more or less Ethiopic versions of the names), who had three sons: Astrobolos, Agrippas "who was the one who reigned after Andafir, son of Herodos" and Herodos (MK 184:10). Agrippas is said to have reigned 23 years, to be followed by his son, also Agrippas (MK 204:23), who reigned 20 years (MK 205:20).

I do not know the text very well, and just looking through the index ... As to the second Agrippas, it is reported, for instance, that the hatred and baseless quarrels rose among the Jews (MK 206), that he was the one "in front of whom Paul stood" (MK 207:15); Agrippas went to Nero, and after that there a war broke out between the Jews and Rome, because of the transgressions done by "Filfos, the Roman governor" (MK 208); Al’azar killed Roman officials who "came with Agrippas", while the latter did not know that; as he tried to revenge, but his troops were defeated and he "left the county" (MK 213); later he appears fighting Al’azar back, having come to Nero and received from his assistance (MK 216-17).

Hope this information will be helpful,
