εἰ γοῦν τι δύναται καὶ ἡ ἡμετέρα ἱστορία, καθ’ ἡμᾶς αὐτοὺς τὴν πάλαι βοωμένην Σιῶν ζεύγεσι βοῶν ὑπὸ Ῥωμαίων ἀνδρῶν ἀρουμένην ὀφθαλμοῖς παρειλήφαμεν, καὶ τήν γε Ἱερουσαλὴμ, ὡς αὐτό γέ φησι τὸ λόγιον, όπωροφυλακίου δίκην ἀπολειφθέντος, ἐν παντελεῖ καταστᾶσαν ἐρημίᾳ· ἃ καὶ δι’ οὐδὲν ἕτερον αὐτοῖς ἢ διὰ τὰς δυσσεβείας αὐτῶν συμβέβηκε, δι’ ἃς καὶ ὁ λόγος ὁ οὐράνιος ἐκ τοῦ οἰκείου τόπου προελήλυθε.
