Fragment III
The most holy patriarch of Jerusalem, the great Sophronius, celebrating John the Evangelist, taught in the Church of God, that the father of [John] the Theologian was Zebedee, and his mother was Salome, the daughter of Joseph. [He, Joseph] had four sons, three daughters. The sons truly were: James, Simon, Judah, and Joseph, and the daughters: Esther, Martha, and Salome, who was the wife of Zebedee, the mother on the other hand of John. Therefore, the Savior was John's uncle, as the brother of Joseph's daughter Salome.

Sanctissimus autem patriarcha Hierosolymorum magnus Sophronius encomio celebrans Joannem evangelistam docet Ecclesiam Dei, quod pater The- ologi exstitit Zebedeus, mater vero illius Salome, ipsa fllia Josephi, qui Josephus quatuor habuit filios, filias tres: filios quidem: Jacobum, Simo- nem, Judam et Josephum. Filias vero: Esther, Martham et Salomen, que fuit uxor Zebedwi, ma- ter autern Joannis. Hinc.Salvator erat Joannis avunculus, utpote frater Salomes filie Josephi.
