ὑπὲρ Θεοῦ ἑλέσθαι ἀποθανεῖν. Τοιαῦτα Συμεώνου διεξιόντος, οἷα παιδοτρίβου παρακελευομένου ἐν τοῖς ἀγῶσιν ὃν χρὴ τρόπον ἐλθεῖν, ἕκαστος ἐπαΐων προθύμως πρὸς τὴν σφαγὴν ἐχώρει. Ἐπεὶ δὲ τοὺς ἑκατὸν διῆλθεν ὁ δήμιος, τελευταῖον καὶ αὐτὸν Συμεώνην ἔκτεινε, καὶ Ἀβεδεχαλάαν καὶ Ἀναννίαν. Ἀμφότεροι δὲ, γηραλέοι πρεσβύτεροι τῆς ὑπ’ αὐτὸν ἐκκλησίας, ἅμα αὐτῷ συνελήφθησαν, καὶ ἐν δεσμοῖς ἦσαν.
