At that time also they builded up the mount Sion with high walls and strong towers round about, lest the Gentiles should come and tread it down, as they had done before.

Καὶ ᾠκοδόμησαν ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ τὸ ὄρος Σιὼν, κυκλόθεν τείχη ὑψηλὰ καὶ πύργους ὀχυροὺς, μήποτε παραγενηθέντα τὰ ἔθνη καταπατήσωσιν αὐτὰ, ὡς ἐποίησαν τοπρότερον.
