[184] 29 Ταῦτα λογιζόμενος ἐσφάδᾳζον καὶ οὔτε μεθ’ ἡμέραν οὔτε νύκτωρ ἠρέμουν. ἀθυμοῦντος δέ μου καὶ τὴν ἀνίαν στέγοντος — οὐδὲ γὰρ ἀνενεγκεῖν ἀσφαλὲς ἦν —, ἕτερον κατασκήπτει βαρύτατον ἐξαπιναίως
ἀπροσδόκητον κακόν, οὐχ ἑνὶ μέρει τοῦ Ἰουδαϊκοῦ τὸν κίνδυνον ἐπάγον, ἀλλὰ συλλήβδην ἅπαντι τῷ ἔθνει.

Having these ideas in my mind, I resisted the sanguine hopes of the others, and had no rest in my mind day or night. But while I was thus giving way to despondency and lamenting over my ignorance of the future (for it was not safe to postpone matters), on a sudden another most grievous and unexpected calamity fell upon us, bringing danger not on one section of the Jews only, but on all the nation together.
