Mountains did not save; apostles’ eagle youth renewed
For Josephus narrates that not even the mountains saved those fleeing. There, then, dragging us they were fastening, or rather toward judgment they were kindled against us. And it would also be understood about the apostles whose “youth was renewed as an eagle’s.” (Lamentations 4:19) (Psalm 103:5)

Klagel. Jerem. 4, 19. Ἰστορεῖ γὰρ Ἰώσηππος ὡς οὐδὲ τὰ ὄρη τοὺς φεύγοντας διέσωσεν. ἐκεῖ τοίνυν ἡμᾶς ἕλκοντες ἥπτοντο, ἤγουν πρὸς δίκην ἀνήφθησαν καθ’ ἡμῶν. νοοῖτο δ’ ἂν καὶ περὶ τῶν ἀποστόλων ὧν >ἀνεκαινίσθη ὡς ἀετοῦ ἡ νεότης<.
