Greek text · Dindorf 4:347

τῆς δʼ ἐν Ἱεροσολύμοις ἐκκλησίας μετὰ τὸν σμικρῷ πρόσθεν δεδηλωμένον ἐπίσκοπον Ὑμέναιον Ζάμβδας τὴν λειτουργίαν παραλαμβάνει. μετʼ οὐ πολὺ δὲ τούτου κεκοιμημένου Ἕρμων ὕστατος τῶν μέχρι τοῦ καθʼ ἡμᾶς διωγμοῦ τὸν εἰσέτι νῦν ἐκεῖσε πεφυλαγμένον ἀποστολικὸν διαδέχεται θρόνον.

English · Claude translation

In the church at Jerusalem, after the bishop Hymenaeus mentioned a little before, Zabdas received the ministry. Not long after he fell asleep, and Hermon, the last before the persecution of our time, succeeded to the apostolic throne which has been preserved there to this day.
