7:1
Οὐκ ἀγνοεῖν δὲ ἄξιον ὡς καὶ αὐτὸν ἐκεῖνον τὸν ἐπὶ τοῦ σωτῆρος Πιλᾶτον, κατὰ Γάϊον , οὗ τοὺς χρόνους διέξιμεν, τοσαύταις περιπεσεῖν κατέχει λόγος συμφοραῖς ὡς ἐξ ἀνάγκης αὐτοφονευτὴν ἑαυτοῦ καὶ τιμωρὸν αὐτόχειρα γενέσθαι, τῆς θείας, ὡς ἔοικε, δίκης οὐκ εἰς μακρὸν αὐτὸν μετελθούσης. ἱστοροῦσιν Ἑλλήνων οἱ τὰς Ὀλυμπιάδας ἅμα τοῖς κατὰ χρόνους πεπραγμένοις ἀναγράψαυτες.
And it is worth not being ignorant of this also: that tradition holds that even that very Pilate, of the Saviour's time, fell — in the reign of Caius, whose times we have been recounting — into such great calamities that of necessity he became his own slayer and avenger by his own hand; divine justice, as it seems, not long afterward overtaking him. These things are recorded by those of the Greeks who set down the Olympiads together with the events of the several times.
還有一件事也值得我們知道：傳統說，連那位救主時代的彼拉多自己，也在迦猶在位之時——就是我們所敘述的這段時期——遭遇了極大的災禍，以致他不得不親手結束自己的性命，自為刑罰者。看來，神聖的公義不久之後便追上了他。這些事是希利尼人中那些將奧林匹亞紀年與各時期所發生之事一同記錄下來的人所記載的。
