Καίτοιγε οὐ πάντες ἐσφάγησαν οὗτοι, μᾶλλον δὲ οὐδὲ εἷς, πλὴν δυοῖν ἢ τριῶν, τοῦ Ἄβελ καὶ τοῦ Ἰωάννου· οἱ δὲ ἄλλοι πάντες οἰκείᾳ τελευτῇ τὸν βίον κατέλυσαν. Καὶ Ἰωάννης δὲ αὐτὸς οὐ θῦσαι κελευσθεὶς καὶ μὴ καταδεξάμενος ἐσφάγη, οὐδὲ εἰς βωμὸν ἀχθείς, οὐδὲ πρὸς εἴδωλον ἑλκυσθείς, ἀλλ' ὑπὲρ ῥήματος ἑνός. Ἐπειδὴ γὰρ εἶπε τῷ Ἡρώδῃ. «Οὐκ ἔξεστί σοι ἔχειν τὴν γυναῖκα Φιλίππου τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου», καὶ τὸ δεσμωτήριον ᾤκησε καὶ τὴν σφαγὴν ἐκείνην ὑπέμεινεν.
