31 Τοῦ δὲ παντὸς ὄχλου συνελθόντος πρὸς τὸν Λυκομήδην τοῦ Ἰωάννου ἕνεκα ἀπετάξατο πᾶσι λέγων· Αὔριον γίνεσθε
ἐν τῷ θεάτρῳ ὁπόσοι βούλεσθε τὴν τοῦ θεοῦ δύναμιν. Οἱ δὲ ὄχλοι τῇ ἐπαύριον ἐκ νύκτωρ ἦλθον εἰς τὸ θέατρον· ὡς καὶ τὸν ἀνθύπατον γνόντα σπεῦσαι καὶ συγκαθίσαι τῷ παντὶ ὄχλῳ. Ἀνδρόνικος δέ τις στρατηγός, πρῶτος ὢν τῶν Ἐφεσίων κατʼ ἐκεῖνο καιροῦ, ἐφήμιζεν ἀδύνατα καὶ ἄπιστα
τῷ Ἰωάννῃ ὑπεσχνεῖσθαι· Εἰ δέ τι τοιοῦτον ὁποῖον ἀκούω, ἔλεγεν, ἔχειν, τὸ δημόσιον θέατρον ἀνεῳγὸς εἰσιέτω γυμνός, μηδὲν ἐπὶ τῶν χειρῶν αὐτοῦ κρατῶν, μηδὲ τὸ μαγικὸν ἐκεῖνο ὀνομαζέτω ὄνομα ὃ ἀκήκοα αὐτοῦ λέγοντος.

[31] Now when all the multitude was come together to Lycomedes, he dismissed them on John’s behalf, saying: To-morrow come ye to the theatre, as many as desire to see the power of God. And the multitude, on the morrow, while it was yet night, came to the theatre: so that the proconsul also heard of it and hasted and took his seat with all the people. And a certain praetor, Andronicus, who was the first of the Ephesians at that time, put it about that John had promised things impossible and incredible: But if, said he, he is able to do any such thing as I hear, let him come into the public theatre, when it is open, naked, and holding nothing in his hands, neither let him name that magical name which I have heard him utter.
