Text
οἱ δὲ χρήμασιν μὲν ἡττώμενοι, μέγα δὲφρονοῦντες ἐπὶ τῷ τοὺς πλείστους τῶν ὑπὸῬωμαίοις ἐκεῖ στρατευομένων Καισαρεῖς εἶναι καὶ Σεβαστηνοὺς μέχρι μέν τινος καὶαὐτοὶ τοὺς Ἰουδαίους λόγῳ ὕβριζον, εἶταλίθοις ἀλλήλους ἔβαλλον, ἕως πολλοὺς παρ᾽ἀμφότερα τρωθῆναί τε καὶ πεσεῖν συνέβη: νικῶσί γε μὴν Ἰουδαῖοι.1
Translation
However, the Syrians, though they were inferior in wealth, yet valuing themselves highly on this account, that the greatest part of the Roman soldiers that were there were either of Cesarea or Sebaste, they also for some time used reproachful language to the Jews also; and thus it was, till at length they came to throwing stones at one another, and several were wounded, and fell on both sides, though still the Jews were the conquerors.2
