two {ANTARES} track + {F}ermi gamma-ray events are identified that exceed a once per decade false alarm rate threshold (p = 17%). {N}o evidence for subthreshold nu + gamma source populations is found among the track (p = 39%) or cascade (p = 60%) events. {E}xploring a possible correlation of high-energy neutrino directions with {F}ermi gamma-ray sky brightness identified in previous work yields no added support for this correlation. {W}hile {TXS}.0506+056, a blazar and variable (nontransient) {F}ermi gamma-ray source, has recently been identified as the first source of high-energy neutrinos, the challenges in reconciling observations of the {F}ermi gamma-ray sky, the {I}ce{C}ube high-energy cosmic neutrinos, and ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays using only blazars suggest a significant contribution by other source populations. {S}earches for transient sources of high-energy neutrinos thus remain interesting, with the potential for either neutrino clustering or multimessenger coincidence searches to lead to discovery of the first nu + gamma transients.}, keywords = {{BL} {L}acertae objects: general ;
