"Bangsa Romawi modern bersikeras bahwa hanya ada satu tuhan, sebuah gagasan yang menurut Alobar sangat lucu. Lebih buruk lagi, dewa Semit ini dianggap cemburu (apa yang ada untuk cemburu jika tidak ada dewa lain?), Pendendam, dan semuanya pemarah. Jika Anda tidak melayani orang jahat itu, orang-orang Romawi akan membakar rumah Anda. Jika Anda benar-benar melayani dia, Anda dipanggil seorang Kristen dan harus membakar rumah orang lain."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Modern Romans insisted that there was only one god, a notion that struck Alobar as comically simplistic. Worse, this Semitic deity was reputed to be jealous (what was there to be jealous of if there were no other gods?), vindictive, and altogether foul-tempered. If you didn't serve the nasty fellow, the Romans would burn your house down. If you did serve him, you were called a Christian and got to burn other people's houses down.
