[158] ἐπεὶ δὲ κατὰ τὴν τῶν ὀνειράτων σύγκρισιν ἐνέστη προτέρα τῆς εὐθηνίας ἡ ἑπταετία, τὸ πέμπτον p. 64M. τῶν καρπῶν ἀνὰ πᾶν ἔτος συνάγων διά τε τῶν ὑπάρχων καὶ τῶν ἄλλων, οἳ πρὸς τὰς δημοσίας χρείας ὑπηρέτουν αὐτῷ,
τοσαύτην ἤθροισε πληθὺν δραγμάτων, ὅσην οὐδείς πω πρότερον ¹² γενομένην ἐμέμνητο· πίστις δὲ σαφεστάτη τὸ μηδ’ ἀριθμηθῆναι δύνασθαι, καίτοι μυρία τινῶν πονηθέντων, οἷς ἐπιμελές, περιεργίᾳ διαριθμήσασθαι.

Translations (1)

On the Life of a Man occupied with Affairs of State, or on Joseph First1KGreek (The works of Philo Judaeus, the contemporary of Josephus, volume 2. Yonge, C. D., translator. London: Henry G. Bohn, 1854.) — 158 focus

And the most evident proof of this is that they could not possibly be counted, even although thousands and thousands of persons were occupied in the task, whose sole business it was to devote all their energies to count them.
