« Sed quomodo nos ipsi effugimus?” rogat Simon. « Ego patri tuo parere non potui, » respondet mater, « Vobiscum in speluncā me abdidi.” “Ignava!” clamat Simon, “Ego mortem haud metuo. Ego, patris exempli memor, eandem fortitudinem praestare volo ! » Postero die ingens multitudo civium ad arcum Titi convenit. Pompa superba Sacrā Viā ducitur. Septem captivi Iudaei, qui mediā in pompā procedunt, a spectatoribus vehementer deridentur. Quinque pueri puellaeque sereno vultu procedentes contumelias neglegunt, sed duae feminae plurimis lacrimis spectatores orant : « Liberis nostris parcite ! » Post captivos venit ipse Domitianus. Ad arcum pompa pervenit. Domitianus, qui sacrum facere vult, e curru egreditur et senatores magistratusque salutat. Subito, dum omnium oculi ad sacrum intenti sunt, Simon in sacerdotes irrumpit et ab uno eorum cultrum rapit. Domitianus, pavore commotus, pedem refert. Non imperatorem tamen, sed matrem, aviam, fratres sororesque Simon petit. Cultrum dextrā tenens exclamat : « Romanis servire nolumus, mortem potius obibimus ! » Haec locutus, matrem et aviam complectitur cultroque statim eas occidit. Tum fratres sororesque, haud resistentes, eodem modo interficit. Denique magnā voce populum Romanum detestatus se ipse cultro
transfigit.
