Ἐγκαλεῖ ὅτι ζῷα θύομεν, καὶ χοῖρον οὐκ ἐσθίομεν καὶ τὴν τῶν αἰδοίων χλευάζει περιτομήν. — Respondens inter alia Josephus etiam Aegyptios sacerdotes circumcidi, addit haec: Ὅθεν εἰκότως μοι δοκεῖ τῆς εἰς τοὺς πατρίους αὐτοῦ νομοὺς βλασφημίας δοῦναι δίκην Ἀπίων τὴν πρέπουσαν. Περιετμήθη γὰρ ἐξ ἀνάγκης, ἑλκώσεως αὐτῷ περὶ τὸ αἰδοῖον γενομένης· καὶ μηδὲν ὠφεληθεὶς ὑπὸ τῆς περιτομῆς, ἀλλὰ σηπόμενος ἐν δειναῖς ὀδύναις ἀπέθανεν.
