[136] ἡλίκην μὲν οὖν καθ’ αὑτὸ τοῦτο τοῖς ἀναθεῖσιν ἐπέφερε κατηγορίαν, παντί τῳ δῆλον. τί γάρ, εἰ καὶ καινὸν γυναικός; τί δέ, εἰ παλαιὸν ἀνδρός; τί δέ, εἰ συνόλως ἐπιφημισθὲν ἑτέρῳ; ¹ τοὺς τοιοῦτον ἀνατιθέντας ὑπὲρ αὐτοκράτορος οὐκ εἰκὸς ἦν εὐλαβηθῆναι, μή τις γένηται μήνυσις τῷ πάντα σεμνοποιοῦντι τὰ καθ’ αὑτὸν διαφερόντως;

On the Virtues and on the Office of Ambassadors. Adressed to Caius First1KGreek (The works of Philo Judaeus, the contemporary of Josephus, Volume 4. Yonge, C. D., translator. London: Henry G. Bohn, 1855.) — 136 focus

[136] Now what amount of accusation he brought against those who had dedicated this chariot on this very account is notorious to every one; for what did it signify if it was a new one and belonging to a woman? Or what if it was an old one and belonging to a man? And what, in short, if it was wholly dedicated to the name of some one else? Was it not natural that those who were offering up a chariot of this sort on behalf of the emperor should be full of cautious fear, lest some one might lay an information against them before our emperor, who took such especial care that every thing which at all affected or related to himself should be done in the most dignified manner possible?
