29 Menelaus has informed me of your desire to return home and attend to your own affairs.
30 So then, those of you who return home by the 30th of the month of Xanthicus may rest assured that you have nothing to fear.
31 You may continue to observe your food laws and other laws, as you used to do, and no Jew will be punished for any crime done in ignorance.
32 I am sending Menelaus to set your minds at ease.
33 May all go well with you. Dated the 15th day of the month of Xanthicus in the year 148.”
34 The Romans also sent the Jews the following letter:“Quintus Memmius and Titus Manius, representatives of the Romans, to the Jews, greetings.
35 We are in complete agreement with all that has been granted to you by the noble Lysias.
