We then questioned the elders and said to them, Who hath given you orders to build this house, and renew this theatrical entertainment?

Then we asked those elders, and thus we said to them, Who gave you the order to build this house, and to provide this preparation?

Greek · Brenton

Τότε ἠρωτήσαμεν τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους ἐκείνους, καὶ οὕτως εἴπαμεν αὐτοῖς, τίς ἔθηκεν ὑμῖν γνώμην τὸν οἶκον τοῦτον οἰκοδομῆσαι, καὶ τὴν χορηγίαν ταύτην καταρτίσασθαι;
