And now Lupus, the governor of Alexandria, upon the receipt of Caesar's
letter, came to the temple, and carried out of it some of the donations
dedicated thereto, and shut up the temple itself. And as Lupus died a little
afterward, Paulinns succeeded him. This man left none of those donations
there, and threatened the priests severely if they did not bring them all
out; nor did he permit any who were desirous of worshipping God there so
much as to come near the whole sacred place; but when he had shut up the
gates, he made it entirely inaccessible, insomuch that there remained no
longer the least footsteps of any Divine worship that had been in that
place. Now the duration of the time from the building of this temple till
it was shut up again was three hundred and forty-three years.
