Summary: Tyre's devotion to the gods was already well known from its deeds.

Greek text · Dindorf 4:426

ὁπότε καὶ “πρὸ τούτου οὐδενὶ ἄγνωστον ἦν, ὁποίας παρατηρήσεως “καὶ θεοσεβείας πρὸς τοὺς ἀθανάτους θεοὺς “ἐτυγχάνετε ὄντες, οἶς οὐ ψιλῶν καὶ ὑποκένων· ῥημάτων “πίστις, ἀλλὰ συνεχῆ καὶ παράδοξα ἔργων “ἐπισήμων γνωρίζεται.

English · Claude translation

Even before this it was unknown to no one with what observance and reverence you stood toward the immortal gods, whose faith is known not by bare and empty words but by continual and remarkable deeds.
