ὁ δὲ τὸν Βεσελὴλ τῆς ἀρχιτεκτονικῆς σοφίας ἐμπλήσας καὶ ταύτην ἠξίωσε χάριτος ὥστε τὸν θεῖο; διαγράψαι νεών. καὶ ἡ μὲν διέγραφεν, οἱ δὲ ὤρυττόν τε καὶ ᾠκοδόμουν. ἐπειδὴ δὲ ἐτελέσθη τὸ οἰκοδόμημα καὶ ὁ ὄροφος ἐπετέθη καὶ μόνων ἐδεῖτο τῶν ἱερέων, εὗρε καὶ τούτου πόρον ἡ θαυμασία γυνή. ἔπεισε γὰρ τὸν τοῦ ἔθνους ἡγούμενον πρὸς τὸν Ῥωμαίων πρεσβεύσασθαι βασιλέα καὶ αἰτήσασθαι πεμφθῆναι σφίσι διδάσκαλον εὐσεβείας.
