-Barnes New Testament Notes."No less than one million one hundred thousand perished in the siege of Jerusalem." 

Many were slain at other places and at other times. By the commandment of Florus, the first author of the war, there were slain at Jerusalem 3,600.....Josephus, WAR, book ii. c. 14. 

    By the inhabitants of Caesarea, above 20,000.
    At Scythopolis, above 13,000.
    At Ascalon, 2,500.
    At Ptolemais, 2,000.
    At Alexandria, 50,000.
    At Joppa, when taken by Cestius Gallus, 8,400.
    In a mountain called Asamon, near Sepporis, above 2,000.
    At Damascus, 10,000.
    In a battle with the Romans at Ascalon, 10,000.
    In an ambuscade (ambush) near the same place, 8,000.
    At Japha, 15,000.
    Of the Samaritans, on Mount Gerizim, 11,600.
    At Jotapa, 40,000.
    At Joppa, when taken by Vespasian, 4,200.
    At Tarichea, 6,500.
    And after the city was taken, 1,200.
    At Gamala, 4,000, besides 5,000 who threw themselves down
       a precipice.
    Of those who fled with John, of Gischala, 6,000.
    Of the Gadarenes, 15,000 slain, besides countless multitudes
       drowned.
    In the village of Idumea, above 10,000 slain.
    At Gerasa, 1,000.
    At Machaerus, 1,700.
    In the wood of Jardes, 3,000.
    In the castle of Masada, 960.
    In Cyrene, by Catullus the governor, 3,000.

Besides these, many of every age, sex and condition were slain in the war, who are not reckoned; but, of those who are reckoned, the number amounts to upwards of 1,357,660, which would have appeared incredible, if their own historian had not so particularly enumerated them. See Josephus, WAR, book ii)"
