Greek text · Dindorf 4:137

ἔν τε γὰρ Ἀλεξανδρεᾳ καὶ τῇ λοιπῇ Αἰγύπτῳ καὶ προσέτι κατὰ Κυρήνην ὥσπερ ὑπὸ πνεύματος δεινοῦ τινος καὶ στασιώδους ἀναρριπισθέντες ὥρμηντο πρὸς τοὺς συνοίκους Ἕλληνας στασιάζειν, αὐξήσαντές τε εἰς μέγα τὴν στάσιν τῷ ἐπιόντι ἐνιαυτῷ πόλεμον οὐ σμικρὸν συνῆψαν, ἡγουμένου τηνικαῦτα Λούπου τῆς ἁπάσης Αἰγύπτου.

English · Claude translation

For in Alexandria and the rest of Egypt, and also in Cyrene, as though fanned by some terrible and seditious spirit, they rushed into sedition against their Greek fellow inhabitants; and having greatly increased the sedition, in the following year they engaged in no small war, when Lupus was governor of all Egypt.
