Greek text · Dindorf 4:95

σπουδὴ δὲ τῶν λιμωττόντων ἐπὶ τὸν θάνατον ἦν, καὶ μακαρισμὸς τῶν φθασάντων πρὶν ἀκοῦσαι καὶ θεάσασθαι κακὰ τηλικαῦτα.” τοιαῦτα τῆς Ἰουδαίων εἰς τὸν Χριστὸν τοῦ θεοῦ παρανομίας τε καὶ δυσσεβείας τἀπίχειρα.

English · Claude translation

The starving hastened to death, and those who had gone before were counted blessed, before they heard and saw such evils.” Such was the reward of the Jews' crime and impiety against the Christ of God.
