Πολλὰ δ᾽ ἄν τις ἐπολοφυράμενος ἔργῳ πάντων ὧν ὄψει
καὶ ἀκοῇ παρειλήφαμεν θαυμασιωτάτῳ κατασκευῆς τε ἕνεκα καὶ
μεγέθους ἔτι τε τῆς καθ᾽ ἕκαστον πολυτελείας καὶ τῆς περὶ τὰ
ἅγια δόξης, μεγίστην λάβοι παραμυθίαν τὴν εἱμαρμένην ἄφυκτον
οὖσαν ὥσπερ ἐμψύχοις οὕτω καὶ ἔργοις καὶ τόποις.
[268]
θαυμάσαι δ᾽
ἄν τις ἐν αὐτῇ τῆς περιόδου τὴν ἀκρίβειαν: καὶ μῆνα γοῦν, ὡς
ἔφην, καὶ ἡμέραν ἐτήρησεν τὴν αὐτήν, ἐν ᾗ πρότερον ὑπὸ Βαβυλωνίων
ὁ ναὸς ἐνεπρήσθη.

καὶ ἀπὸ μὲν τῆς πρώτης αὐτοῦ κτίσεως,
ἣν κατεβάλετο Σολομὼν ὁ βασιλεύς; μέχρι τῆς νῦν ἀναιρέσεως, ἣ
γέγονεν ἔτει δευτέρῳ τῆς Οὐεσπασιανοῦ ἡγεμονίας, ἔτη συνάγεται
χίλια ἑκατὸν τριάκοντα, πρὸς δὲ μῆνες ἑπτὰ καὶ πεντεκαίδεκα ἡμέραι:
[270]
ἀπὸ δὲ τῆς ὕστερον, ἣν ἔτει δευτέρῳ Κύρου βασιλεύοντος
ἐποιήσατο Ἀγγαῖος, ἔτη μέχρι τῆς ὑπὸ Οὐεσπασιανοῦ ἁλώσεως
τριακονταεννέα πρὸς ἑξακοσίοις καὶ ἡμέραι τεσσαρακονταπέντε.
