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.
