ἐπεὶ δὲ πανταχόθεν ἔδει τὰ φέροντα πρὸς ἀπώλειαν τῆς πόλεως συνδραμεῖν, οὐκ ἀπεκόσμησαν τὰ ἀγάλματα μόνον, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐχώνευσάν τινα τῶν ἐκ χρυσοῦ καὶ ἀργύρου πεποιημένων, ὧν ἦν καὶ τὸ τῆς ἀνδρείας, ἣν καλοῦσι Ῥωμαῖοι ΩιρτΩτεμ: οὗπερ διαφθαρέντος, ὅσα τῆς ἀνδρείας ἦν καὶ ἀρετῆς παρὰ Ῥωμαίοις ἀπέσβη, τοῦτο τῶν περὶ τὰ θεῖα καὶ τὰς πατρίους ἁγιστείας ἐσχολακότων ἐξ ἐκείνου τοῦ χρόνου προφητευσάντων.
