[206] ἀλλ’ οἱ μὲν καλῶν πράξεων καλοὶ σύμβουλοι μικρὸν ὕστερον τὰ
ἐπίχειρα εὗρον τῆς ἀσεβείας, ὁ μὲν ὑπὸ Γαΐου σιδήρῳ δεθεὶς ἐφ’ ἑτέραις ¹ αἰτίαις καὶ στρεβλούμενος καὶ τροχιζόμενος ἐκ περιτροπῆς, ὥσπερ ἐν ταῖς περιοδιζούσαις νόσοις, ὁ δὲ Ἑλικὼν ὑπὸ Κλαυδίου Γερμανικοῦ Καίσαρος ἀναιρεθείς, ἐφ’ οἷς ἄλλοις ὁ φρενοβλαβὴς ἠδίκησεν. ἀλλὰ ταῦτα μὲν ὕστερον ἐγένετο.

Translations (1)

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.) — 206 focus

[206] When we heard this we were wounded in our souls at every word he said and at every name he mentioned; but those admirable advisers of admirable actions a little while afterwards met with the fit reward of their impiety, the one being bound by Caius with iron chains for other causes, and being put to the torture and to the rack after periods of relief, as is the case with people affected with intermittent diseases; and Helicon was put to death by Claudius Germanicus Caesar, for other wicked actions, that, like a madman as he was, he had committed; but there occurrences took place at a later date.
