3 we acknowledge this in every way and everywhere, most excellent Felix, with all gratitude.
4 But in order not to detain you further, I ask you to give us a brief hearing with your customary graciousness.

6 He even tried to desecrate our temple, but we arrested him. [

8 If you examine him you will be able to learn from him for yourself about everything of which we are accusing him.”
