After reading the communication, Felix inquired to what province the prisoner belonged, and being informed that he was of Cilicia, he ordered him to be kept in Herod’s judgment hall, stating that he would hear the case when the accusers also should come from Jerusalem. {LP 228.4}

Efter at have læst meddelelsen, spurgte Felix hvilken provins fangen tilhørte, og da han fik at vide at han var fra Kilikien, beordrede at han skulle holdes i Herodes domssal, og at han ville høre sagen når de anklagede også kom fra Jerusalem.
