Greek text · Dindorf 4:101

καὶ ἕτερα δὲ αὐτοῦ φέρεται σπουδῆς ἄξια δύο, τὰ περὶ τῆς Ἰουδαίων ἀρχαιότητος, ἐν οἷς καὶ ἀντιρρήσεις πρὸς Ἀπίωνα τὸν γραμματικὸν κατὰ Ἰουδαίων τηνικάδε συντάξαντα λόγον πεποίηται καὶ πρὸς ἄλλους, οἳ διαβάλλειν καὶ αὐτοὶ τὰ πάτρια τοὐ Ἰουδαίων ἔθνους ἐπειράθησαν.

English · Claude translation

Two other works of his worthy of study are extant, On the Antiquity of the Jews, in which he makes replies to Apion the grammarian, who had then composed a treatise against the Jews, and to others who had also tried to slander the ancestral customs of the Jewish nation.
