Dialogue with Trypho 9.3 · Sophia Scriptura

Summary: They sit down in the colonnade; two of Trypho's friends leave.

Greek text · Archambault 1:46

Ἔδοξε καὶ τῷ Τρύφωνι οὕτως ἡμᾶς ποιῆσαι, καὶ δὴ ἐκνεύσαντες εἰς τὸ μέσον τοῦ ξυστοῦ στάδιον ᾔειμεν· τῶν δὲ σὺν αὐτῷ δύο, χλευάσαντες καὶ τὴν σπουδὴν ἡμῶν ἐπισκώψαντες, ἀπηλλάγησαν. Ἡμεῖς δὲ ὡς ἐγενόμεθα ἐν ἐκείνῳ τῷ τόπῳ, ἔνθα ἑκατέρωθεν λίθινοί εἰσι θῶκοι, ἐν τῷ ἑτέρῳ καθεσθέντες οἱ μετὰ τοῦ Τρύφωνος, ἐμβαλόντος τινὸς αὐτῶν λόγον περὶ τοῦ κατὰ τὴν Ἰουδαίαν γενομένου πολέμου, διελάλουν.

English · Claude translation

Trypho too agreed that we should do this, and we turned aside and went into the middle of the colonnade's open space; and two of those with him, mocking and jeering at our earnestness, went away. And when we came to that place, where there are stone seats on both sides, those with Trypho sat down on one side, and when one of them brought up the war that had taken place in Judea, they talked about it.
