[230] γυναῖκας καὶ τέκνα καὶ γενεὰς ἐπηγαγόμεθά
σοι καὶ διὰ σοῦ προσεπέσομεν Γαΐῳ μηδένα οἴκοι καταλιπόντες, ἵνα ἢ περισώσητε πάντας ἢ πάντας πανωλεθρίᾳ διαφθείρητε. Πετρώνιε, καὶ τὰς φύσεις ἐσμὲν εἰρηνικοὶ καὶ τὴν προαίρεσιν, καὶ αἱ διὰ παιδοτροφίαν φιλεργίαι τοῦτο ἡμᾶς ἐξ ἀρχῆς ἐπαίδευσαν τὸ ἐπιτήδευμα.

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.) — 230 focus

[230] We have brought unto you our wives, and our children, and our whole families, and in your person we will prostrate ourselves before Caius, having left not one single person at home, that you may either preserve us all, or destroy us all together by one general and complete destruction. Petronius, we are a peaceful nation, both by our natural disposition and by our determined intentions, and the education which has been industriously and carefully instilled into us has taught us this lesson from our very earliest infancy.
