Historiarum adversum paganos libri VII (417 - 418) Orosius |
| Quotation |
Namque, ut paulo altius repetam, Iudaei post passionem Christi destituti in totum gratia Dei cum omnibus undique malis circumuenirentur, quibusdam in Carmelo monte seducti sortibus, quae portenderent exortos a Iudaea duces rerum potituros fore, praedictumque ad se trahentes in rebellionem exarserunt extinctisque Romanis praesidiis legatum quoque Syriae suppetias ferentem rapta aquila et caesis copiis fugauerunt. |
| Translation |
For, to go back a little in time in my account, the Jews, who, after
Christ’s suffering, had completely lost God’s grace, on being beset by
troubles on all sides, were seduced by certain oracles on Mount Carmel which declared that there would rise up in Judaea leaders who would take
control of the world. As they believed that the oracle applied to themselves,
they blazed forth in rebellion, annihilating the Roman garrisons in their
country and routing the lieutenant‐governor of Syria when he came with
reinforcements, capturing his eagle and killing his troops. |
