ἐπεὶ δὲ Τίτος ᾑρήκει τὰ Σόλυμα καὶ νεκρῶν πλέα ἦν πάντα τὰ ὅμορά τε ἔθνη ἐστεφάνουν αὐτόν, ὁ δὲ οὐκ ἠξίου ἑαυτὸν τούτου, μὴ γὰρ αὐτὸς ταῦτα εἰργάσθαι, θεῷ δὲ ὀργὴν φήναντι ἐπιδεδωκέναι τὰς ἑαυτοῦ χεῖρας, ἐπῄνει ὁ Ἀπολλώνιος ταῦτα, γνώμη τε γὰρ περὶ τὸν ἄνδρα ἐφαίνετο καὶ ξύνεσις ἀνθρωπείων τε καὶ θείων, καὶ σωφροσύνης μεστὸν τὸ μὴ στεφανοῦσθαι ἐφ᾽ αἵματι. ξυντάττει δὴ πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐπιστολήν, ἧς διάκονον ποιεῖται τὸν Δάμιν, καὶ ἐπιστέλλει ὧδε: ‘Ἀπολλώνιος Τίτῳ στρατηγῷ Ῥωμαίων χαίρειν. μὴ βουληθέντι σοι ἐπ᾽ αἰχμῇ κηρύττεσθαι, μηδ᾽ ἐπὶ δηίῳ αἵματι δίδωμι ἐγὼ τὸν σωφροσύνης στέφανον, ἐπειδὴ ἐφ᾽ οἷς δεῖ στεφανοῦσθαι, γιγνώσκεις. ἔρρωσο.’ ὑπερησθεὶς δὲ ὁ Τίτος τῇ ἐπιστολῇ ‘καὶ ὑπὲρ ἐμαυτοῦ’ ἔφη ‘χάριν οἶδά σοι καὶ ὑπὲρ τοῦ πατρός, καὶ μεμνήσομαι τούτων, ἐγὼ μὲν γὰρ Σόλυμα ᾕρηκα, σὺ δὲ ἐμέ.’
