To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

"That which is now worth sixty piecesof silver will not cost a single obol. Fountains of milk shall springfrom the rocks; men shall sleep, well satisfied, among the wine-presses. The people shall prostrate themselves before Thee, and Thy reign shallbe eternal, O Son of David!" The tetrarch suddenly recoiled from the opening of the pit; the mentionof the existence of a son of David seemed to him like a menace tohimself.
Iaokanann then poured forth invectives against him for presuming toaspire to
... royalty.
"There is no other king than the Eternal God!" he cried; and he cursedAntipas for his luxurious gardens, his statues, his furniture of carvedivory and precious woods, comparing him to the impious Ahab.
Antipas broke the slender cord attached to the royal seal that he worearound his neck, and throwing the seal into the pit, he commanded hisprisoner to be silent.
But Iaokanann replied: "I shall cry aloud like a savage bear, like thewild ass, like a woman in travail! The punishment of heaven has alreadyvisited itself upon thy incest!
