Artabanus IV intervened and after making overtures to Asinaeus and Anilaeus, conferred on them the governorship of Babylonia. According to Josephus (Jewish Antiquities 18.310-339), having summoned the brothers to an audience, Artabanus “was astonished at Asinaeus’ courage in action when he observed that he was quite short in outward appearance”.
