τινὲς δὲ αὐτόν καὶ “τὸν Ἀλβῖνον ὑπαντιάζουσιν ἀπὸ τῆς Ἀλεξανδρείας “ ὁδοιποροῦντα, καὶ διδάσκουσιν ὡς οὐκ ἐξὸν ἢν Ἀνάνῳ “χωρὶς τῆς αὐτοῦ γνώμης καθίσαι συνέδριον. “ Ἀλβῖνος δὲ πεισθεὶς τοῖς λεγομένοις γράφει με “ ὀργῆς τῷ Ἀνάνῳ, λήψεσθαι παρʼ αὐτοῦ δίκας ἄπει “λῶν. καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς δὲ Ἀγρίππας διὰ τοῦτο τʼ “ ἀρχιερωσύνην ἀφελόμενος αὐτοῦ ἄρξαντος μῆνα ‘τρεῖς, Ἰησοῦν τὸν τοῦ Δαμμαίου κατἐστησεν.’’ τὸ αὐτὰ καὶ τὰ κατὰ Ἰάκωβον, οὗ ἡ πρώτη τῶν ὀνομαζομένων καθολικῶν ἐπιστολῶν εἶναι λέγεται.

English · Claude translation

And some of them went to meet Albinus on his journey from Alexandria, and informed him that Ananus had no right to convene a council without his consent. Albinus, persuaded by what was said, wrote in anger to Ananus, threatening to punish him. And King Agrippa for this reason took the high priesthood from him after he had held it three months, and appointed Jesus the son of Damnaeus.” So much for James, to whom the first of the so-called catholic letters is said to belong.
