Summary: This came soon after they had cried before Pilate that they had no king but Caesar.

Greek text · Dindorf 4:54

ταῦτα δὲ συγκρίνας τῇ τῶν εὐαγγελίων γραφῇ εἴσῃ ὡς οὐκ εἰς μακρὸν αὐτοὺς μετῆλθεν, ἣν ἔρρηξαν ἐπʼ αὐτοῦ Πιλάτου φωνὴν, διʼ ἧς οὐκ ἄλλον ἢ μόνον ἔχειν ἐπεβόων Καίσαρα βασιλέα

English · Claude translation

Comparing these things with the scripture of the Gospels, you will know that not long afterwards there overtook them the cry which they had uttered before this same Pilate, when they shouted that they had no king but Caesar alone.
