Recorded use
Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how Herodes appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
„Möglicherweise war entscheidend, dass ich nominell Jude, aber auch Philosoph und kein Fanatiker bin und dass mein Vater eine bescheidene Geschäftsverbindung zum Hof von König Herodes unterhielt, den Marcus Antonius vor kurzem als König von ganz Judäa bestätigte und mit dem er in Frieden leben möchte.“
„Entsprechend wurde auch Herodes’ Bautätigkeit ignoriert und die ‹untere Mauer› - Teil der von ihm errichteten Umfassungsmauer des Tempelbergplateaus - schlicht den Römern zugeschrieben.“
