DRUSILLA
Agrippae Iun. soror, primo desponsata filio Antiochi Epiphani, dein Aziazi Emesorum sive Amazorum Regis data est. Hanc cum pulchritudine ceteris praestaret, Felix concupivit: quare misso nuntio, qui erat Iudaeus Magus, Simon, Cypro oriundus, eam in suam partem flexit: nam haec sponte relicto priore marito, et religione suâ, huius nuptias secuta est. Vide Ioseph. Antiq. l. 20. c. 9. Huius mentio fit Actor. 24. v. 14. Felix cum Drusilla urore sua quae erat iudaea, accersivit Paulum, et audivit eum de fide quae est in Christum.
