1. EXCERPTS
From the English trans. by Williams (pp. 92, 94).
12,1) Indeed, they have ventured countless other forgeries. They say that one book is a “Birth of Mary,” and they palm some horrid, baneful things off in it and
say that they get them from it. (2) On its authority they say that Zacharias
was killed in the temple because he had seen a vision, and when he wanted
to reveal the vision his mouth was stopped from fright. For at the hour of
incense, while he was burning it, he saw a man standing there, they say,
with the form of an ass.68 (3) And when he had come out and wanted
to say “Woe to you, whom are you worshiping?” the person he had seen
inside in the temple stopped his mouth so that he could not speak. But
when his mouth was opened so that he could speak, then he revealed it
to them and they killed him. And that, they say, is how Zacharias died.
(4) This, they say, is why the priest was ordered to wear bells by the law-
giver himself.69 Whenever he went in to officiate, the object of his worship would hear them jangle and hide, so that no one would spy the imaginary
face of his form
