Λόγος οὖν, ποτὲ προϊόντος αὐτοῦ ἀνὰ τὴν πόλιν, συμβὰν οὕτως ἐφιπταμένην κρῶξαι κορώνην: παρατυχὸν δὲ πλῆθος Ἑλλήνων, οἷα εἰς γόητα ἀποσκῶπτον, ἐξαιτῆσαι εἰπεῖν αὐτοῖς ὅ, τι λέγοι ἡ κορώνη. Τὸν δὲ φᾶναι, ἠρέμα ἐπιγελάσαντα, Κράς: ὅ ἐστιν αὔριον τῇ Ῥωμαίων φωνῇ: τοῦτο τοίνυν κράζουσα, ἀηδῆ τὴν αὔριον ὑμῖν ἔσεσθαι καταγγέλλει: σημαίνει γὰρ ἐκ προστάγματος τοῦ Ῥωμαίων βασιλέως κωλυθήσεσθαι ὑμᾶς τὴν ἑξῆς ἑορτὴν ἄγειν.
