Georgius Syncellus, Chronographical Selection

YEAR OF THE WORLD 5621 Year of the divine incarnation 121 The remaining years of the 12th Roman emperor, Aelius Hadrianus Hadrian, wintering in Athens, is initiated into the Eleusinian mysteries; where he also held a contest, having repaired many things in the place and established libraries. Hadrian sent out an army against the rebellious Jews, who had overrun Judea from Egypt and Libya after many wars. The governor of Judea was Tinneius Rufus, who also fought the Jews; a certain Chochebas the only-begotten, who was interpreted as "star," led the Jewish revolt. He punished Christians in various ways for not wanting to ally with him against the Romans. The Jews fared badly, and the war against them came to an end, with Jerusalem being captured for the last time, so that not even one stone was left upon another according to the divine word. From then on, therefore, they are completely barred from entering the city by the command of God and the power of the Romans, having been scattered everywhere. Hadrian dies of dropsy in Baiae of Italy. 9th bishop of Rome, Hyginus, for 4 years. 5th bishop of Antioch, Eros, for 26 years. 7th bishop of Alexandria, Eumenes, for 13 years. 13th bishop of Jerusalem, Ephraim, for 2 years. 428 Favorinus and Polemon the rhetorician were well-known.
