Eusebius, Praeparatio Evangelica, ed. Wilhelm Dindorf, 9.25.3

[3] τοῦτον 431 δὲ τὸν Ἰὼβ πρότερον Ιωβὰβ ὀνομάζεσθαι. πειράξοντα δ’ αὐτὸν τὸν θεὸν ἐμμεῖναι, μεγάλαις δὲ περιβαλεῖν αὐτὸν ἀτυχίαις. πρῶτον μὲν γὰρ αὐτοῦ τούς τε ὄνους καὶ τοὺς βοῦς ὑπὸ λῃστῶν ἀπελαθῆναι , εἶτα
τὰ πρόβατα ὑπὸ πυρὸς ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ πεσόντος κατακαῆναι σὺν τοῖς ποιμέσι· μετ’ οὐ πολὺ δὲ καὶ τὰς καμήλους ὑπὸ λῃστῶν ἀπελαθῆναι· εἶτα τὰ τέκνα αὐτοῦ ἀποθανεῖν , πεσούσης τῆς οἰκίας· αὐθημερὸν δὲ αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸ σῶμα ἑλκῶσαι.
