Among Jews [the Korbanas is] the sacred treasury.1
"By spending the sacred treasury on an aqueduct Pilate provoked a riot. It brought down [water] from [a distance of] 400 stades. And he positioned troops and killed many [sc. Jews]."2

Greek original · Adler’s text

Κορβανᾶς· παρὰ Ἰουδαίοις ὁ ἱερὸς θησαυρός. Πιλᾶτος τὸν ἱερὸν θησαυρὸν εἰς καταγωγὴν ὑδάτων καταναλίσκων ταραχὴν ἐκίνησε. κατῆγε δὲ ἀπὸ υʹ σταδίων. καὶ παραστήσας στρατιώτας πολλοὺς ἀπέκτεινεν.
