So Onias took the place, and built a temple, and an altar to God,
like indeed to that in Jerusalem, but smaller and poorer. I do not think
it proper for me now to describe its dimensions or its vessels, which have
been already described in my seventh book of the Wars of the Jews. However,
Onias found other Jews like to himself, together with priests and Levites,
that there performed Divine service. But we have said enough about this
temple.
