Hadrakitilios wrote to Hadrianus that he evidently hated the Jews because they did not circumcise themselves as the Saracens did nor were they Sabbath observers as the Samaritans were. Hadrianus replied: "Let the God of the Jews be revenged on him.” Therefore his works were not successful and his wife traded and had no luck. Hadrianus ordered him to be crucified, explaining that he would thus be saved from evil and misfortune.
