Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ, ἡμέρα γενέσεως ῆν αραὼ, καὶ ἐποίει πότον πᾶσι τοῖς παισἱν αὐτοῦ. Τῶν μὲν πρὸ ἡμῶν (29) ἐτήρησέ τις, ὅτι φαῦλός ἐστιν ὁ τὰ γενέσεως τιμῶν πράγματα, καὶ τὴν ἡμέραν τῆς γενέσεως αὐτοῦ ἀποδεχόμενος· ἡμεῖς δὲ βεβαιοῦμεν τὴν διήγησιν, καὶ ἐπὶ τοῦ Ἡρώδου τὸ A παραπλήσιον εὑρόντες, ὅτε καὶ ἡ θυγάτηρ Ἡρωδιάδος ὠρχήσατο, καὶ ἀπετμήθη ἡ Ἰωάννου κεφαλή· καὶ οὐδαμοῦ δίκαιος φαίνεται γενέθλιον ἄγων ἡμέραν.
