2 Maccabees 11

Not long after the, Lysias the king’s protector and cousin, who also managed the affairs, took sore displeasure for the things that were done.

ΜΕΤ᾿ ὀλίγον δὲ παντελῶς χρόνον Λυσίας ἐπίτροπος τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ συγγενὴς καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν πραγμάτων λίαν βαρέως φέρων ἐπὶ τοῖς γεγονόσι,

По ма́лѣ же весьма̀ вре́мени лѷсі́а, намѣ́стникъ царе́въ и҆ сро́дникъ и҆ къ дѣлѡ́мъ приста́вникъ, ѕѣлѡ̀ тѧ́жцѣ сносѧ̀ бы̑вшаѧ,

And when he had gathered about fourscore thousand with all the horsemen, he came against the Jews, thinking to make the city an habitation of the Gentiles,

συναθροίσας περὶ τὰς ὀκτὼ μυριάδας καὶ τὴν ἵππον πᾶσαν, παρεγένετο ἐπὶ τοὺς ᾿Ιουδαίους λογιζόμενος τὴν μὲν πόλιν ῞Ελλησιν οἰκητήριον ποιήσειν,

собра́въ а҆́ки ѻ҆́смьдесѧтъ ты́сѧщъ и҆ ко́нники всѧ̑, прїи́де на і҆ꙋде́євъ, помышлѧ́ѧ ᲂу҆́бѡ гра́дъ є҆́ллинѡмъ ѡ҆бита́лище,

And to make a gain of the temple, as of the other chapels of the heathen, and to set the high priesthood to sale every year:

τὸ δὲ ἱερὸν ἀργυρολόγητον, καθὼς τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν ἐθνῶν τεμένη, πρατὴν δὲ τὴν ἀρχιερωσύνην κατ᾿ ἔτος ποιήσειν,

хра́мъ же среброда́ненъ сотвори́ти, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ про́чїихъ ꙗ҆зы̑къ ка̑пища, и҆ по всѧ̑ лѣ̑та продава́ти а҆рхїере́йство,

Not at all considering the power of God but puffed up with his ten thousands of footmen, and his thousands of horsemen, and his fourscore elephants.

οὐδαμῶς ἐπιλογιζόμενος τὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ κράτος, πεφρενωμένος δὲ ταῖς μυριάσι τῶν πεζῶν καὶ ταῖς χιλιάσι τῶν ἱππέων καὶ τοῖς ἐλέφασι τοῖς ὀγδοήκοντα.

ника́коже помышлѧ́ѧ бж҃їю держа́вꙋ, безꙋ́мнѡ ᲂу҆пова́ѧ на тьмы̑ пѣшцє́въ и҆ на ты́сѧщы ко́нникѡвъ и҆ на ѻ҆́смьдесѧтъ слонѡ́въ.

So he came to Judea, and drew near to Bethsura, which was a strong town, but distant from Jerusalem about five furlongs, and he laid sore siege unto it.

εἰσελθὼν δὲ εἰς τὴν ᾿Ιουδαίαν καὶ συνεγγίσας Βαιθσούρᾳ, ὄντι μὲν ἐρυμνῷ χωρίῳ, ἀπὸ δὲ ῾Ιεροσολύμων ἀπέχοντι ὡσεὶ σταδίους πέντε, τοῦτο ἔθλιβεν.

Вше́дъ же во і҆ꙋде́ю и҆ прибли́живсѧ ко веѳсꙋ́рѣ, къ мѣ́стꙋ ᲂу҆́бѡ крѣ́пкомꙋ сꙋ́щꙋ, ѿ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма же ѿстоѧ́щемꙋ ꙗ҆́кѡ ста́дїй пѧ́ть, сїѐ ᲂу҆тѣснѧ́ше.

Now when they that were with Maccabeus heard that he besieged the holds, they and all the people with lamentation and tears besought the Lord that he would send a good angel to deliver Israel.

ὡς δὲ μετέλαβον οἱ περὶ τὸν Μακκαβαῖον πολιορκοῦντα αὐτὸν τὰ ὀχυρώματα, μετ᾿ ὀδυρμῶν καὶ δακρύων ἱκέτευον σὺν τοῖς ὄχλοις τὸν Κύριον ἀγαθὸν ἄγγελον ἀποστεῖλαι πρὸς σωτηρίαν τῷ ᾿Ισραήλ.

Є҆гда́ же позна̀ маккаве́й и҆ и҆̀же съ ни́мъ ра́тꙋюща є҆го̀ тверды̑ни, съ пла́чемъ и҆ слеза́ми молѧ́хꙋ гдⷭ҇а со всѣ́мъ наро́домъ, бл҃га́го а҆́гг҃ла посла́ти ко сп҃се́нїю і҆и҃лѧ.

Then Maccabeus himself first of all took weapons, exhorting the other that they would jeopard themselves together with him to help their brethren: so they went forth together with a willing mind.

αὐτὸς δὲ πρῶτος ὁ Μακκαβαῖος ἀναλαβὼν τὰ ὅπλα προετρέψατο τοὺς ἄλλους, ἅμα αὐτῷ διακινδυνεύοντας ἐπιβοηθεῖν τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτῶν· ὁμοῦ δὲ καὶ προθύμως ἐξώρμησαν.

Са́мъ же маккаве́й пе́рвый взѧ́въ ѻ҆рꙋ́жїе ᲂу҆вѣщава́ше про́чихъ вкꙋ́пѣ съ ни́мъ бѣ́дство под̾ѧ́ти, є҆́же помога́ти бра́тїи свое́й: вкꙋ́пѣ же и҆ со ᲂу҆се́рдїемъ ᲂу҆стреми́шасѧ.

And as they were at Jerusalem, there appeared before them on horseback one in white clothing, shaking his armour of gold.

αὐτόθι δὲ καὶ πρὸς τοῖς ῾Ιεροσολύμοις ὄντων, ἐφάνη προηγούμενος αὐτῶν ἔφιππος ἐν λευκῇ ἐσθῆτι, πανοπλίαν χρυσῆν κραδαίνων.

Та́мѡ же, и҆ бли́з̾ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма сꙋ́щымъ, ꙗ҆ви́сѧ предводѧ́й и҆́хъ ко́нникъ во ѻ҆де́жди бѣ́лѣ всеѻрꙋ́жїе злато́е потрѧса́ющь.

Then they praised the merciful God all together, and took heart, insomuch that they were ready not only to fight with men, but with most cruel beasts, and to pierce through walls of iron.

ὁμοῦ δὲ πάντες εὐλόγησαν τὸν ἐλεήμονα Θεὸν καὶ ἐπερρώσθησαν ταῖς ψυχαῖς, οὐ μόνον ἀνθρώπους ἀλλὰ καὶ θῆρας τοὺς ἀγριωτάτους καὶ σιδηρᾶ τείχη τιτρώσκειν ὄντες ἕτοιμοι,

Вкꙋ́пѣ же всѝ благослови́ша млⷭ҇рдаго бг҃а и҆ ᲂу҆крѣпи́шасѧ дꙋша́ми, не то́чїю человѣ́кѡвъ, но и҆ ѕвѣре́й лютѣ́йшихъ и҆ стѣ́ны жєлѣ́зны сокрꙋша́ти сꙋ́ще гото́ви,

Thus they marched forward in their armour, having an helper from heaven: for the Lord was merciful unto them

προῆγον ἐν διασκευῇ τὸν ἀπ᾿ οὐρανοῦ σύμμαχον ἔχοντες, ἐλεήσαντος αὐτοὺς τοῦ Κυρίου.

и҆дѧ́хꙋ во ᲂу҆строе́нїи съ нб҃сѐ спобо́рника и҆мѣ́юще, ми́лꙋющꙋ и҆̀хъ гдⷭ҇ꙋ:

And giving a charge upon their enemies like lions, they slew eleven thousand footmen, and sixteen hundred horsemen, and put all the other to flight.

λεοντηδὸν δὲ ἐντινάξαντες εἰς τοὺς πολεμίους κατέστρωσαν αὐτοὺς χιλίους πρὸς τοῖς μυρίοις, ἱππεῖς δὲ ἑξακοσίους πρὸς τοῖς χιλίοις· τοὺς δὲ πάντας ἠνάγκασαν φυγεῖν.

львоѡбра́знѡ же ᲂу҆стрѣми́вшесѧ на сꙋпоста́ты, положи́ша ѿ ни́хъ є҆динона́десѧть ты́сѧщъ пѣшцє́въ, ко́нникѡвъ же ты́сѧщꙋ и҆ ше́сть сѡ́тъ,

Many of them also being wounded escaped naked; and Lysias himself fled away shamefully, and so escaped.

οἱ πλείονες δὲ αὐτῶν τραυματίαι γυμνοὶ διεσώθησαν, καὶ αὐτὸς δὲ ὁ Λυσίας αἰσχρῶς φεύγων διεσώθη.

всѣ́хъ же понꙋ́диша бѣжа́ти: мно́зи же ѿ ни́хъ ꙗ҆́звени на́зи ᲂу҆цѣлѣ́ша, и҆ са́мъ лѷсі́а стꙋ́днѡ бѣжа́въ спасе́сѧ.

Who, as he was a man of understanding, casting with himself what loss he had had, and considering that the Hebrews could not be overcome, because the Almighty God helped them, he sent unto them,

οὐκ ἄνους δὲ ὑπάρχων, πρὸς ἑαυτὸν ἀντιβάλλων τὸ γεγονὸς περὶ ἑαυτὸν ἐλάσσωμα καὶ συννοήσας ἀνικήτους εἶναι τοὺς ῾Εβραίους, τοῦ πάντα δυναμένου Θεοῦ συμμαχοῦντος αὐτοῖς, προσαποστείλας

Не без̾ ᲂу҆ма́ же сы́й, размышлѧ́ѧ въ себѣ̀ бы́вшее на себѐ пораже́нїе и҆ ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́въ непобѣди́мыхъ бы́ти є҆вре́ѡвъ, всемогꙋ́щемꙋ бг҃ꙋ спобо́рствꙋющемꙋ и҆̀мъ, посла́въ

And persuaded them to agree to all reasonable conditions, and promised that he would persuade the king that he must needs be a friend unto them.

ἔπεισε συλλύσεσθαι ἐπὶ πᾶσι τοῖς δικαίοις, καὶ διότι καὶ τὸν βασιλέα πείσειν φίλον αὐτοῖς ἀναγκάζειν γενέσθαι.

ᲂу҆вѣщава́ше, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆́мать примири́тисѧ во всѣ́хъ пра́ведныхъ и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ совѣ́тꙋѧ прекло́нитъ и҆ царѧ̀, да бꙋ́детъ и҆̀мъ дрꙋ́гъ.

Then Maccabeus consented to all that Lysias desired, being careful of the common good; and whatsoever Maccabeus wrote unto Lysias concerning the Jews, the king granted it.

ἐνέπνευσε δὲ ὁ Μακκαβαῖος ἐπὶ πᾶσιν, οἷς ὁ Λυσίας παρεκάλει, τοῦ συμφέροντος φροντίζων· ὅσα γὰρ ὁ Μακκαβαῖος ἐπέδωκε τῷ Λυσίᾳ διὰ γραπτῶν περὶ τῶν ᾿Ιουδαίων, συνεχώρησεν ὁ βασιλεύς.

Соизво́ли же маккаве́й ѡ҆ всѣ́хъ, ѡ҆ ни́хже лѷсіи молѧ́ше, ѡ҆ поле́зныхъ радѧ́щь: є҆ли̑ка бо маккаве́й дадѐ лѷсі́а на писмѣ̀ ѡ҆ і҆ꙋде́ехъ, соизво́ли ца́рь.

For there were letters written unto the Jews from Lysias to this effect: Lysias unto the people of the Jews sendeth greeting:

ἦσαν γὰρ αἱ γεγραμμέναι τοῖς ᾿Ιουδαίοις ἐπιστολαί, παρὰ μὲν Λυσίου περιέχουσαι τὸν τρόπον τοῦτον· «Λυσίας τῷ πλήθει τῶν ᾿Ιουδαίων χαίρειν.

Бѣ́ша бо писа̑нїѧ і҆ꙋде́ємъ пѡ́сланаѧ ѿ лѷсі́и, и҆мꙋ́щаѧ ѡ҆́бразъ сице́въ, лѷсі́а мно́жествꙋ і҆ꙋде́йскꙋ ра́доватисѧ:

John and Absalon, who were sent from you, delivered me the petition subscribed, and made request for the performance of the contents thereof.

᾿Ιωάννης καὶ ᾿Αβεσσαλὼμ οἱ πεμφθέντες παρ᾿ ὑμῶν, ἐπιδόντες τὸν ὑπογεγραμμένον χρηματισμόν, ἠξίουν περὶ τῶν δι᾿ αὐτοῦ σημαινομένων.

і҆ѡа́ннъ и҆ а҆вессалѡ́мъ, и҆̀же по́слани сꙋ́ть ѿ ва́съ, даю̑ща напи́санный ѿвѣ́тъ, проша́ста ѡ҆ назна́менанныхъ въ не́мъ:

Therefore what things soever were meet to be reported to the king, I have declared them, and he hath granted as much as might be.

ὅσα μὲν οὖν ἔδει καὶ τῷ βασιλεῖ πρσενεχθῆναι, διεσάφησα· ἃ δὲ ἦν ἐνδεχόμενα, συνεχώρησεν.

є҆ли̑ка ᲂу҆̀бо подоба́ше царю̀ предложи́ти, и҆звѣсти́хъ, и҆ ꙗ҆̀же бѧ́хꙋ прїѧ̑тна, соизво́ли:

And if then ye will keep yourselves loyal to the state, hereafter also will I endeavour to be a means of your good.

ἐὰν μὲν οὖν συντηρήσητε τὴν εἰς τὰ πράγματα εὔνοιαν, καὶ εἰς τὸ λοιπὸν πειράσομαι παραίτιος ὑμῖν ἀγαθῶν γενέσθαι.

а҆́ще ᲂу҆̀бо въ дѣ́лѣхъ вѣ́рность соблюдетѐ, то̀ и҆ въ про́чее покꙋшꙋ́сѧ вино́венъ ва́мъ бы́ти благи́хъ:

But of the particulars I have given order both to these and the other that came from me, to commune with you.

ὑπὲρ δὲ τῶν κατὰ μέρος ἐντέταλμαι τούτοις τε καὶ τοῖς παρ᾿ ἐμοῦ διαλεχθῆναι ὑμῖν.

ѡ҆ си́хъ же подро́бнꙋ заповѣ́дахъ си́ма и҆ пѡ́сланнымъ ѿ менє̀ побесѣ́довати съ ва́ми:

Fare ye well. The hundred and eight and fortieth year, the four and twentieth day of the month Dioscorinthius.

ἔρρωσθε. ἔτους ἑκατοστοῦ τεσσαρακοστοῦ ὀγδόου, Διοσκορινθίου τετράδι καὶ εἰκάδι».

здра́вствꙋйте. Лѣ́та сто̀ четы́редесѧть ѻ҆сма́гѡ, (мцⷭ҇а) дїоскорі́нѳїа, днѐ два́десѧть четве́ртагѡ.

Now the king’s letter contained these words: King Antiochus unto his brother Lysias sendeth greeting:

῾Η δὲ τοῦ βασιλέως ἐπιστολὴ περιεῖχεν οὕτως· «Βασιλεὺς ᾿Αντίοχος τῷ ἀδελφῷ Λυσίᾳ χαίρειν.

Ца́рское же посла́нїе содержа́ше сїѧ̑: ца́рь а҆нтїо́хъ лѷсі́и бра́тꙋ ра́доватисѧ:

Since our father is translated unto the gods, our will is, that they that are in our realm live quietly, that every one may attend upon his own affairs.

τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν εἰς θεοὺς μεταστάντος, βουλόμενοι τοὺς ἐκ τῆς βασιλείας ἀταράχους ὄντας γενέσθαι πρὸς τὴν τῶν ἰδίων ἐπιμέλειαν,

ѻ҆тцꙋ̀ на́шемꙋ въ бо́ги премѣ́ньшꙋсѧ, мы̀ хотѧ́ще во ца́рствїи сꙋ́щихъ безмѧте́жныхъ бы́ти и҆ ѡ҆ свои́хъ прилѣжа́ти,

We understand also that the Jews would not consent to our father, for to be brought unto the custom of the Gentiles, but had rather keep their own manner of living: for the which cause they require of us, that we should suffer them to live after their own laws.

ἀκηκοότες τοὺς ᾿Ιουδαίους μὴ συνευδοκοῦντας τῇ τοῦ πατρὸς ἐπὶ τὰ ῾Ελληνικὰ μεταθέσει, ἀλλὰ τὴν ἑαυτῶν ἀγωγὴν αἱρετίζοντας καὶ διὰ τοῦτο ἀξιοῦντας συγχωρηθῆναι αὐτοῖς τὰ νόμιμα αὐτῶν·

слы́шахомъ і҆ꙋдє́й не соблаговолѧ́ющихъ ѻ҆тца̀ моегѡ̀ повелѣ́нїю, є҆́же премѣни́тисѧ и҆̀мъ на є҆́ллинскїѧ зако́ны, но и҆зволѧ́ющихъ держа́ти своѧ̑ за́пѡвѣди и҆ тогѡ̀ ра́ди молѧ́щихъ, да да́рꙋютсѧ и҆̀мъ закѡ́ннаѧ и҆́хъ:

Wherefore our mind is, that this nation shall be in rest, and we have determined to restore them their temple, that they may live according to the customs of their forefathers.

αἱρούμενοι οὖν καὶ τοῦτο τὸ ἔθνος ἐκτὸς ταραχῆς εἶναι, κρίνομεν τό τε ἱερὸν αὐτοῖς ἀποκατασταθῆναι καὶ πολιτεύεσθαι κατὰ τὰ ἐπὶ τῶν προγόνων αὐτῶν ἔθη.

хотѧ́ще ᲂу҆́бѡ и҆ семꙋ̀ ꙗ҆зы́кꙋ без̾ мѧте́жа бы́ти, сꙋди́хомъ и҆ хра́мъ и҆̀мъ возврати́ти и҆ жи́ти по прароди́тєльскимъ и҆́хъ ѡ҆бы́чаємъ:

Thou shalt do well therefore to send unto them, and grant them peace, that when they are certified of our mind, they may be of good comfort, and ever go cheerfully about their own affairs.

εὖ οὖν ποιήσεις διαπεμψάμενος πρὸς αὐτοὺς καὶ δοὺς δεξιάς, ὅπως εἰδότες τὴν ἡμετέραν προαίρεσιν εὔθυμοί τε ὦσι καὶ ἡδέως διαγίνωνται πρὸς τὴν τῶν ἰδίων ἀντίληψιν».

бла́гѡ ᲂу҆̀бо сотвори́ши, а҆́ще по́слеши къ ни̑мъ и҆ десни́цꙋ да́си, ꙗ҆́кѡ да позна́вше на́ше произволе́нїе, благодꙋ́шни бꙋ́дꙋтъ и҆ безпеча́льнѡ пребꙋ́дꙋтъ ко своемꙋ̀ ѡ҆хране́нїю.

And the letter of the king unto the nation of the Jews was after this manner: King Antiochus sendeth greeting unto the council, and the rest of the Jews:

Πρὸς δὲ τὸ ἔθνος ἡ τοῦ βασιλέως ἐπιστολὴ τοιαύτη ἦν· «Βασιλεὺς ᾿Αντίοχος τῇ γερουσίᾳ τῶν ᾿Ιουδαίων καὶ τοῖς ἄλλοις ᾿Ιουδαίοις χαίρειν.

Ко і҆ꙋде́ѡмъ же ца́рское посла́нїе сицево̀ бѣ̀: ца́рь а҆нтїо́хъ старѣ́йшинамъ і҆ꙋдє́йскимъ и҆ про́чымъ і҆ꙋде́ѡмъ ра́доватисѧ:

If ye fare well, we have our desire; we are also in good health.

εἰ ἔρρωσθε, εἴη ἂν ὡς βουλόμεθα· καὶ αὐτοὶ δὲ ὑγιαίνομεν.

а҆́ще здра́вствꙋете, да бꙋ́детъ ꙗ҆́коже хо́щемъ, и҆ са́ми здра́вствꙋемъ:

Menelaus declared unto us, that your desire was to return home, and to follow your own business:

ἐνεφάνισεν ἡμῖν ὁ Μενέλαος βούλεσθαι κατελθόντας ὑμᾶς γίνεσθαι πρὸς τοῖς ἰδίοις.

и҆з̾ѧвѝ на́мъ менела́й, ꙗ҆́кѡ хо́щете ѿше́дше бы́ти съ ва́шими:

Wherefore they that will depart shall have safe conduct till the thirtieth day of Xanthicus with security.

τοῖς οὖν καταπορευομένοις μέχρι τριακάδος Ξανθικοῦ ὑπάρξει δεξιὰ μετὰ τῆς ἀδείας

приходѧ́щымъ ᲂу҆́бѡ да́же до днѐ тридесѧ́тагѡ мцⷭ҇а занѳі́ка, дади́мъ десни́цꙋ без̾ ѡ҆пасе́нїѧ:

And the Jews shall use their own kind of meats and laws, as before; and none of them any manner of ways shall be molested for things ignorantly done.

χρῆσθαι τοὺς ᾿Ιουδαίους τοῖς ἑαυτῶν δαπανήμασι καὶ νόμοις, καθὰ καὶ τὸ πρότερον, καὶ οὐδεὶς αὐτῶν κατ᾿ οὐδένα τρόπον παρενοχληθήσεται περὶ τῶν ἠγνοημένων.

є҆́же ᲂу҆потреблѧ́ти і҆ꙋде́ѡмъ свои́хъ бра́шенъ и҆ зако́нѡвъ, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ пре́жде, и҆ ни є҆ди́нъ и҆̀мъ ни по є҆ди́номꙋ ѡ҆́бразꙋ стꙋжи́ти и҆́мать ѡ҆ содѣ́ѧнныхъ въ невѣ́дѣнїи:

I have sent also Menelaus, that he may comfort you.

πέπομφα δὲ καὶ τὸν Μενέλαον παρακαλέσοντα ὑμᾶς.

посла́хомъ же и҆ менела́а и҆мꙋ́щаго ᲂу҆тѣ́шити ва́съ:

Fare ye well. In the hundred forty and eighth year, and the fifteenth day of the month Xanthicus.

ἔρρωσθε. ἔτους ἑκατοστοῦ τεσσαρακοστοῦ ὀγδόου, Ξανθικοῦ πέμπτῃ καὶ δεκάτῃ».

здра́вствꙋйте. Лѣ́та сто̀ четы́редесѧть ѻ҆сма́гѡ, ѯанѳі́ка (мцⷭ҇а), пѧтагѡна́десѧть днѐ.

The Romans also sent unto them a letter containing these words: Quintus Memmius and Titus Manlius, ambassadors of the Romans, send greeting unto the people of the Jews.

῎Επεμψαν δὲ καὶ οἱ Ῥωμαῖοι πρὸς αὐτοὺς ἐπιστολὴν ἔχουσαν οὕτως· «Κόϊντος Μέμμιος, Τίτος Μάνλιος, πρεσβῦται Ῥωμαίων, τῷ δήμῳ τῶν ᾿Ιουδαίων χαίρειν.

Посла́ша же и҆ ри́млѧне къ ни̑мъ посла́нїе и҆мѣ́ющее сїѧ̑: кві́нтъ ме́ммїй и҆ ті́тъ ма́нлїй, старѣ̑йшины ри́мстїи, лю́демъ і҆ꙋдє́йскимъ ра́доватисѧ:

Whatsoever Lysias the king’s cousin hath granted, therewith we also are well pleased.

ὑπὲρ ὧν Λυσίας ὁ συγγενὴς τοῦ βασιλέως συνεχώρησεν ὑμῖν, καὶ ἡμεῖς συνευδοκοῦμεν.

ѡ҆ ни́хже лѷсі́а сро́дникъ царе́въ соизво́ли ва́мъ, и҆ мы̀ соблаговолѧ́емъ:

But touching such things as he judged to be referred to the king, after ye have advised thereof, send one forthwith, that we may declare as it is convenient for you: for we are now going to Antioch.

ἃ δὲ ἔκρινε προσανενεχθῆναι τῷ βασιλεῖ, πέμψατέ τινα παραχρῆμα ἐπισκεψάμενοι περὶ τούτων, ἵνα ἐκθῶμεν ὡς καθήκει ὑμῖν· ἡμεῖς γὰρ προσάγομεν πρὸς ᾿Αντιόχειαν.

а҆ ꙗ҆̀же сꙋдѝ предложи́ти царю̀, скорѣ́е посли́те кого̀ созира́юще ѡ҆ си́хъ, да ᲂу҆ста́витъ, ꙗ҆́коже подоба́етъ ва́мъ, мы́ бо и҆́демъ ко а҆нтїохі́и:

Therefore send some with speed, that we may know what is your mind.

διὸ σπεύσατε καὶ πέμψατέ τινας, ὅπως καὶ ἡμεῖς ἐπιγνῶμεν ὁποίας ἐστὲ γνώμης.

сегѡ̀ ра́ди ᲂу҆скори́те и҆ посли́те нѣ́кїихъ, да и҆ мы̀ ᲂу҆вѣ́мы, ко́еѧ є҆стѐ мы́сли:

Farewell. This hundred and eight and fortieth year, the fifteenth day of the month Xanthicus.

ὑγιαίνετε. ἔτους ἑκατοστοῦ τεσσαρακοστοῦ, Ξανθικοῦ πέμπτῃ καὶ δεκάτῃ».

здра́вствꙋйте. Лѣ́та сто̀ четы́редесѧть ѻ҆сма́гѡ, пѧтагѡна́десѧть днѐ (мцⷭ҇а) ѯанѳі́ка.
