χρόνῳ δὲ οὑτοι ὑπὸ τῶν θ·ηρίων διασπαραττόμενοι, λεόντων τε καὶ παρδάλεων καὶ ἄρκων καὶ τῶν ἄλλων πονηρῶν θηρίων, ἀποστέλλουσιν εἰς Βαβυλῶνα, παρακαλοῦντες καὶ ὑπερβολῇ θαυμάζοντες τὴν <τῶν> κατοικησάντων τὸ πρὶν ἐγκαθέτων διαγωγήν, πῶς ἠδύναντο ὑποστῆναι τὴν τῶν θηρῶν ἁρπαγήν τε καὶ βίαν. ὁ δὲ βασιλεὺς μεταστειλάμενος τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους ἤρετο τὴν αὐτοῖς γενομένην ἀγωγὴν > τῆς ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ καθέξεως, πῶς τε διελάνθανον τὴν τῶν θηρῶν ἁρπαγήν, τοσαύτης θηριοβολίας καὶ λύμης κατὰ τὴν γῆν ἑκείνην ὑπαρχούσης.
