3 Maccabees 2

Now was it that the high priest Simon bowed his knees over against the holy place, and spread out his hands in reverent form, and uttered the following supplication:

Ο μὲν οὖν ἀρχιερεὺς Σίμων ἐξεναντίας τοῦ ναοῦ κάμψας τὰ γόνατα καὶ τὰς χεῖρας προτείνας εὐτάκτως, ἐποιήσατο τὴν δέησιν τοιαύτην.

А҆рхїере́й ᲂу҆̀бо сі́мѡнъ проти́вꙋ хра́ма преклони́въ колѣ̑на и҆ рꙋ́цѣ просте́ръ благочи́ннѡ, творѧ́ше моли́твꙋ сїю̀:

O Lord, Lord, King of the heavens, and Ruler of the whole creation, Holy among the holy, sole Governor, Almighty, give ear to us who are oppressed by a wicked and profane one, who exulteth in his confidence and strength.

,

гдⷭ҇и, гдⷭ҇и, цр҃ю̀ нбⷭ҇ный и҆ влⷣко всѧ́кагѡ созда́нїѧ, ст҃ы́й во ст҃ы́хъ, є҆динонача́льниче, Вседержи́телю, вонмѝ на́мъ ѡ҆ѕло́блєннымъ ѿ непреподо́бнагѡ и҆ скве́рнагѡ, проде́рзостїю и҆ си́лою напыще́ннагѡ:

It is thou, the Creator of all, the Lord of the universe, who art a righteous Governor, and judgest all who act with pride and insolence.

ты́ бо, созда́вый всѧ̑ и҆ всѧ̑ содержа́щь, си́ленъ и҆ првⷣнъ є҆сѝ, и҆ со ᲂу҆кори́зною и҆ го́рдостїю что́ либо творѧ́щымъ сꙋ́диши:

It was thou who didst destroy the former workers of unrighteousness, among whom were the giants, who trusted in their strength and hardihood, by covering them with a measureless flood.

σὺ τοὺς ἔμπροσθεν ἀδικίαν ποιήσαντας, ἐν οἷς καὶ γίγαντες ἦσαν ῥώμῃ καὶ θράσει πεποιθότες, διέφθειρας ἐπαγαγὼν αὐτοῖς ἀμέτρητον ὕδωρ.

ты̀ пре́жде беззако́нїе сотво́ршихъ, въ ни́хже и҆ и҆споли́ни бы́ша, на си́лꙋ и҆ де́рзость ᲂу҆пова́вшїи, погꙋби́лъ є҆сѝ, наве́дъ на ни́хъ безмѣ́рнꙋю во́дꙋ:

It was thou who didst make the Sodomites, those workers of exceeding iniquity, men notorious for their vices, an example to after generations, when thou didst cover them with fire and brimstone.

σὺ τοὺς ὑπερηφανίαν ἐργαζομένους Σοδομίτας, διαδήλους ταῖς κακίαις γενομένους, πυρὶ καὶ θείῳ κατέφλεξας, παράδειγμα τοῖς ἐπιγινομένοις καταστήσας.

ты̀ прегѡ́рдаѧ творѧ́щихъ содо́млѧнъ, въ ꙗ҆́вныхъ ѕло́бахъ бы́вшихъ, ѻ҆гне́мъ и҆ жꙋ́пеломъ попали́лъ є҆сѝ, ѡ҆́бразъ по ни́хъ бꙋ́дꙋщымъ соста́вль:

Thou didst make known thy power when thou causedst the bold Pharaoh, the enslaver of thy people, to pass through the ordeal of many and diverse inflictions.

σὺ τὸν θρασὺν Φαραὼ καταδουλωσάμενον τὸν λαόν σου τὸν ἅγιον ᾿Ισραήλ, ποικίλαις καὶ πολλαῖς δοκιμάσας τιμωρίαις, ἐγνώρισας τὴν σὴν δυναστείαν, ἐφ’ αἷς ἐγνώρισας τὸ μέγα σου κράτος·

ты̀ свирѣ́паго фараѡ́на поработи́вшаго лю́ди твоѧ̑ ст҃ы̑ѧ і҆и҃лѧ, разли́чными и҆ мно́гими и҆скꙋси́лъ є҆сѝ мꙋ́ками, показа́въ си́лꙋ твою̀,

And thou rolledst the depths of the sea over him, when he made pursuit with chariots, and with a multitude of followers, and gavest a safe passage to those who put their trust in thee, the Lord of the whole creation.

καὶ ἐπιδιώξαντα αὐτὸν σὺν ἅρμασι καὶ ὄχλων πλήθει ἐπέκλυσας βάθει θαλάσσης, τοὺς δὲ ἐμπιστεύσαντας ἐπὶ σοὶ τῷ τῆς ἁπάσης κτίσεως δυναστεύοντι σώους διεκόμισας,

и҆ во ѻ҆́нѣхъ ве́лїю держа́вꙋ твою̀ ꙗ҆ви́лъ є҆сѝ, и҆ гонѧ́щаго є҆го̀ съ колесни́цами и҆ наро́дѡвъ мно́жествомъ погрꙋзи́лъ є҆сѝ во глꙋбинѣ̀ морстѣ́й, вѣ́рꙋющихъ же тебѣ̀, всѧ́кимъ созда́нїемъ ѡ҆блада́ющемꙋ, неврє́дны преве́лъ є҆сѝ: и҆̀же и҆ ви́дѣвше дѣла̀ твоеѧ̀ рꙋкѝ, восхвали́ша тебѐ Вседержи́телѧ:

These saw and felt the works of thine hands, and praised thee the Almighty.

οἳ καὶ συνιδόντες ἔργα σῆς χειρὸς ᾔνεσάν σε τὸν παντοκράτορα.

ты̀, цр҃ю̀, созда́вый безконе́чнꙋю и҆ безмѣ́рнꙋю зе́млю, и҆збра́лъ є҆сѝ гра́дъ се́й и҆ ѡ҆ст҃и́лъ є҆сѝ мѣ́сто сїѐ во и҆́мѧ тебѣ̀ ничто́же тре́бꙋющемꙋ, и҆ просла́вилъ є҆сѝ во ꙗ҆вле́нїи великолѣ́пнѣмъ, составле́нїе сотвори́вый є҆гѡ̀ ко сла́вѣ вели́кагѡ и҆ честна́гѡ и҆́мене твоегѡ̀:

Thou, O King, when thou createdst the illimitable and measureless earth, didst choose out this city: thou didst make this place sacred to thy name, albeit thou needest nothing: thou didst glorify it with thine illustrious presence, after constructing it to the glory of thy great and honourable name.

σύ, βασιλεῦ, κτίσας τὴν ἀπέραντον καὶ ἀμέτρητον γῆν, ἐξελέξω τὴν πόλιν ταύτην καὶ ἁγιάσας τὸν τόπον τοῦτον εἰς ὄνομά σοι τῷ τῶν ἁπάντων ἀπροσδεεῖ καὶ παρεδόξασας ἐν ἐπιφανείᾳ μεγαλοπρεπεῖ, σύστασιν ποιησάμενος αὐτοῦ πρὸς δόξαν τοῦ μεγάλου καὶ ἐντίμου ὀνόματός σου.

и҆ лю́бѧщь до́мъ і҆и҃левъ, ѡ҆бѣща́лъ є҆сѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́ще бꙋ́детъ на́мъ ѕлоключе́нїе и҆ ѡ҆б̾и́метъ на́съ тѣснота̀, и҆ прише́дше на мѣ́сто сїѐ помо́лимсѧ, ᲂу҆слы́шиши моли́твꙋ на́шꙋ:

And thou didst promise, out of love to the people of Israel, that should we fall away from thee, and become afflicted, and then come to this house and pray, thou wouldest hear our prayer.

καὶ ἀγαπῶν τὸν οἶκον τοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐπηγγείλω δὴ ὅτι ἐὰν γένηται ἡμῶν ἀποστροφὴ καὶ καταλάβῃ ἡμᾶς στενοχωρία καὶ ἐλθόντες εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦτον δεηθῶμεν, εἰσακούσῃ τῆς δεήσεως ἡμῶν.

и҆ ᲂу҆́бѡ вѣ́ренъ є҆сѝ и҆ и҆́стиненъ, а҆ поне́же мно́гащи ѡ҆скорблє́ннымъ бы́вшымъ ѻ҆тцє́мъ на́шымъ, помо́глъ є҆сѝ и҆̀мъ ты̀ во смире́нїи и҆ и҆зба́вилъ є҆сѝ ѧ҆̀ ѿ вели́кихъ бѣ́дъ:

Verily thou art faithful and true.

καὶ δὴ πιστὸς εἶ καὶ ἀληθινός.

сѐ ᲂу҆̀бо нн҃ѣ, ст҃ы́й цр҃ю̀, мно́гихъ ра́ди и҆ вели́кихъ на́шихъ грѣхѡ́въ стра́ждемъ, и҆ повинꙋ́емсѧ врагѡ́мъ на́шымъ, и҆ є҆смы̀ въ не́мощехъ:

And when thou didst often aid our fathers when hard pressed, and in low estate, and deliveredst them out of great dangers,

ἐπεὶ δὲ πλεονάκις θλιβέντων τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν ἐβοήθησας αὐτοῖς ἐν τῇ ταπεινώσει καὶ ἐρρύσω αὐτοὺς ἐκ μεγάλων κινδύνων,

въ на́шемъ же низпаде́нїи де́рзостивый и҆ скве́рный се́й начина́етъ ѡ҆би́дѣти на землѝ возвы́шенное и҆́мени сла́вы твоеѧ̀ ст҃о́е мѣ́сто:

see now, holy King, how through our many and great sins we are borne down, and made subject to our enemies, and are become weak and powerless.

ἰδοὺ δὲ νῦν, ἅγιε βασιλεῦ, διὰ τὰς πολλὰς καὶ μεγάλας ἡμῶν ἁμαρτίας καταπονούμεθα καὶ ὑπετάγημεν τοῖς ἐχθροῖς ἡμῶν καὶ παρείμεθα ἐν ἀδυναμίαις.

а҆́ще бо и҆ жили́ще твоѐ нб҃о нб҃сѐ непости́жно человѣ́кѡмъ є҆́сть, но поне́же бл҃говоли́лъ є҆сѝ сла́вꙋ твою̀ въ лю́дехъ твои́хъ і҆и҃ли, ѡ҆ст҃и́лъ є҆сѝ мѣ́сто сїѐ:

We being in this low condition, this bold and profane man seeks to dishonour this thine holy place, consecrated out of the earth to the name of thy Majesty.

ἐν δὲ τῇ ἡμετέρᾳ καταπτώσει ὁ θρασὺς καὶ βέβηλος οὗτος ἐπιτηδεύει καθυβρίσαι τὸν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἀναδεδειγμένον τῷ ὀνόματι τῆς δόξης σου ἅγιον τόπον.

да не ѿмсти́ши на́мъ нечистото́ю си́хъ, нижѐ да нака́жеши на́съ скве́рною си́хъ: да не похва́лѧтсѧ пребеззако́ннїи въ ꙗ҆́рости свое́й, нижѐ да возра́дꙋютсѧ въ го́рдости ѧ҆зы́ка своегѡ̀, глаго́люще: мы̀ попра́хомъ хра́мъ ст҃ы́ни, ꙗ҆́коже попира́ютсѧ хра́мы ме́рзостей:

Thy dwelling place, the heaven of heavens, is indeed unapproachable to men.

τὸ μὲν γὰρ οἰκητήριόν σου οὐρανὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἀνέφικτος ἀνθρώποις ἐστίν.

ѡ҆ста́ви грѣхѝ на́шѧ и҆ разрꙋшѝ непра́вѡсти на́шѧ и҆ ꙗ҆вѝ млⷭ҇ть твою̀ въ ча́съ се́й, ско́рѡ да предварѧ́тъ ны̀ щедрѡ́ты твоѧ̑, и҆ да́ждь хвалє́нїѧ во ᲂу҆ста̀ низпа́дшихъ и҆ сокрꙋше́нныхъ дꙋша́ми, сотвори́вый на́мъ ми́ръ.

But since it seemed good to thee to exhibit thy glory among thy people Israel, thou didst sanctify this place.

ἀλλ’ ἐπεὶ εὐδοκήσας τὴν δόξαν σου ἐν τῷ λαῷ σου ᾿Ισραὴλ ἡγίασας τὸν τόπον τοῦτον,

Здѣ̀ всеви́децъ бг҃ъ и҆ пре́жде всѣ́хъ ст҃ы́й во ст҃ы́хъ, ᲂу҆слы́шавъ моли́твꙋ смире́нїѧ, хꙋло́ю и҆ де́рзостїю вельмѝ вознесе́ннаго ᲂу҆ѧзвѝ, ѿсю́дꙋ и҆ ѿѻнꙋ́дꙋ сотрѧ́съ є҆го̀, ꙗ҆́коже тро́сть вѣ́тромъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ на помо́стѣ недѣйстви́тельнꙋ ктомꙋ̀ лежа́ти и҆ ᲂу҆́дами разсла́бленнꙋ, нижѐ прогласи́ти возмощѝ є҆мꙋ̀, пра́веднымъ ᲂу҆ѧ́звленнꙋ сꙋдо́мъ.

Punish us not by means of the uncleanness of their men, nor chastise us by means of their profanity; lest the lawless ones should boast in their rage, and exult in exuberant pride of speech, and say,

μὴ ἐκδικήσῃς ἡμᾶς ἐν τῇ τούτων ἀκαθαρσίᾳ, μηδὲ εὐθύνῃς ἡμᾶς ἐν βεβηλώσει, ἵνα μὴ καυχήσωνται οἱ παράνομοι ἐν θυμῷ αὐτῶν, μηδὲ ἀγαλλιάσωνται ἐν ὑπερηφανίᾳ γλώσσης αὐτῶν λέγοντες·

Ѿню́дꙋже дрꙋ́зи и҆ тѣ́ла є҆гѡ̀ ѡ҆храни́телє внеза́пнꙋю и҆ ѻ҆́стрꙋю ви́дѣвше ѡ҆б̾е́мшꙋю є҆го̀ ка́знь, ᲂу҆боѧ́вшесѧ, да и҆ живота̀ не лиши́тсѧ, вско́рѣ є҆го̀ и҆звлеко́ша во́нъ, превели́кимъ ᲂу҆ѧ́звленни стра́хомъ.

We have trampled upon the holy house, as idolatrous houses are trampled upon.

ἡμεῖς κατεπατήσαμεν τὸν οἶκον τοῦ ἁγιασμοῦ, ὡς καταπατοῦνται οἱ οἶκοι τῶν προσοχθισμάτων.

По вре́мени же прише́дъ въ себѐ, ника́коже въ покаѧ́нїе прїи́де нака́занный и҆ съ преще́нїемъ го́рькимъ ѿи́де.

Blot out our iniquities, and do away with our errors, and shew forth thy compassion in this hour.

ἀπάλειψον τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἡμῶν καὶ διασκέδασον τὰς ἀμπλακίας ἡμῶν καὶ ἐπίφανον τὸ ἔλεός σου κατὰ τὴν ὥραν ταύτην.

Прише́дъ же во є҆гѵ́петъ и҆ ѕло́бꙋ ᲂу҆множа́ющь чрез̾ предрече́нныхъ притрапе́зникѡвъ и҆ дрꙋгѡ́въ ѿ всѧ́кїѧ пра́вды ѿлꙋче́нныхъ, не то́кмѡ безчи́сленными стꙋдодѣѧ̑нїи дово́льствовасѧ, но и҆ на толи́кꙋю де́рзость произы́де, ꙗ҆́кѡ хꙋлє́нїѧ на мѣ́стѣхъ соста́ви, и҆ мно́зи дрꙋ́зи взира́юще на ца́рское хотѣ́нїе, и҆ ті́и послѣ́доваша ѻ҆́нагѡ во́ли.

Let thy mercies quickly go before us. Grant us peace, that the cast down and broken hearted may praise thee with their mouth.

ταχὺ προκαταλαβέτωσαν ἡμᾶς οἱ οἰκτιρμοί σου, καὶ δὸς αἰνέσεις ἐν στόματι τῶν καταπεπτωκότων καὶ συντετριμμένων τὰς ψυχὰς ποιήσας ἡμῖν εἰρήνην.

И҆ предложѝ ца́рь наро́днѣ на ꙗ҆зы́къ і҆ꙋде́йскїй и҆зда́ти хꙋлꙋ̀: и҆ повелѣ́въ на столпѣ̀ сꙋ́щемъ при дворѣ̀ поста́вити і҆́дѡла, и҆зваѧ̀ писа́нїе: є҆́же ни є҆ди́номꙋ ѿ нежрꙋ́щихъ во свѧта̑ѧ и҆́хъ входи́ти, всѣ́хъ же і҆ꙋде́євъ вписа́ти въ лю́ди прѡсты́ѧ и҆ въ слꙋже́бный чи́нъ поста́вити, сопроти́въ же глаго́лющихъ нꙋ́ждею ꙗ҆́тыхъ живота̀ лиши́ти.

At that time God, who seeth all things, who is beyond all Holy among the holy, heard that prayer, so suitable; and scourged the man greatly uplifted with scorn and insolence.

᾿Ενταῦθα ὁ πάντων ἐπόπτης Θεὸς καὶ πρὸ πάντων ἅγιος ἐν ἁγίοις εἰσακούσας τῆς ἐνθέσμου λιτανείας, τὸν ὕβρει καὶ θράσει μεγάλως ἐπῃρμένον ἐμάστιξεν αὐτόν,

Тѣ́хже запи́санныхъ назна́меновати и҆ ѻ҆гне́мъ на тѣ́лѣ знамени́тымъ дїонѵ́са кі́ссовымъ листо́мъ, и҆ тѣ́хъ ѿлꙋчи́ти въ преждесокраще́ннꙋю свобо́дꙋ.

Shaking him to and fro as a reed is shaken with the wind, he cast him upon the pavement, powerless, with limbs paralyzed; by a righteous judgment deprived of the faculty of speech.

ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν κραδάνας αὐτὸν ὡς κάλαμον ὑπὸ ἀνέμου, ὥστε κατ’ ἐδάφους ἄπρακτον, ἔτι καὶ τοῖς μέλεσι παραλελυμένον μηδὲ φωνῆσαι δύνασθαι δικαίᾳ περιπεπλεγμένον κρίσει.

Но да не всѣ̑мъ ненави́димь ꙗ҆ви́тсѧ, подписа̀: а҆́ще же нѣ́цыи ѿ ни́хъ произво́лѧтъ жи́тельствовати во ѡ҆брѧ́дѣхъ ꙗ҆зы́ческихъ, сі́и ра́вни гра́жданѡмъ а҆леѯандрі̑йскимъ бꙋ́дꙋтъ.

His friends and bodyguards, beholding the swift recompense which had suddenly overtaken him, struck with exceeding terror, and fearing that he would die, speedily removed him.

ὅθεν οἵ τε φίλοι καὶ οἱ σωματοφύλακες αὐτοῦ ταχεῖαν καὶ ὀξεῖαν ἰδόντες τὴν καταλαβοῦσαν αὐτὸν εὔθυναν, φοβούμενοι μὴ καὶ τὸ ζῆν ἐκλείπῃ, ταχέως αὐτὸν ἐξείλκυσαν ὑπερβάλλοντι καταπεπληγμένοι φόβῳ.

Тѣ́мже ᲂу҆̀бо нѣ́цыи во гра́дѣ, благочє́стїѧ своѧ̑ ни во что́же вмѣнѧ́юще, съ ра́достїю себѐ вда́ша, мнѧ́ще себѐ а҆́ки ве́лїей нѣ́коей и҆мꙋ́щїи приѡбщи́тисѧ сла́вѣ ѿ бꙋ́дꙋщагѡ со царе́мъ сожи́тельства.

When in course of time he had come to himself, this severe check caused no repentance within him, but he departed with bitter threatenings.

ἐν χρόνῳ δὲ ὕστερον ἀναλεξάμενος ἑαυτὸν οὐδαμῶς εἰς μετάμελον ἦλθεν ἐπιτιμηθείς, μετ’ ἀπειλῆς δὲ πικρᾶς ἀνέλυσε.

Мно́жайшїи же хра́брою дꙋше́ю ᲂу҆крѣпи́шасѧ и҆ не ѿстꙋпи́ша ѿ благоче́стїѧ: и҆ сре́бреники за живо́тъ ѡ҆бѣща́вше во и҆змѣне́нїе да́ти, безбоѧ́зненнѡ тща́хꙋсѧ свободи́ти себѐ ѿ вписа́нїй: благонаде́жни бы́ша по́мощь полꙋчи́ти,

He proceeded to Egypt, grew worse in wickedness through his beforementioned companions in wine, who were lost to all goodness;

Διακομισθεὶς δὲ εἰς τὴν Αἴγυπτον καὶ τὰ τῆς κακίας ἐπαύξων, διὰ δὲ τῶν προαποδεδειγμένων συμποτῶν καὶ ἑταίρων τοῦ παντὸς δικαίου κεχωρισμένων,

а҆ ѿлꙋчи́вшихсѧ ѿ ни́хъ гнꙋша́хꙋсѧ, и҆ а҆́ки сꙋпоста́тѡвъ ро́дꙋ своемꙋ̀ сꙋди́ша, и҆ ѻ҆́бщагѡ сожи́тельства и҆ благодѣѧ́нїѧ лиша́хꙋ.

and not satisfied with countless acts of impiety, his audacity so increased that he raised evil reports there, and many of his friends, watching his purpose attentively, joined in furthering his will.

οὐ μόνον ταῖς ἀναριθμήτοις ἀσελγείαις διηρκέσθη, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐπὶ τοσοῦτον θράσους προῆλθεν, ὥστε δισφυμίας ἐν τοῖς τόποις συνίστασθαι καὶ πολλοὺς τῶν φίλων ἀτενίζοντας εἰς τὴν τοῦ βασιλέως πρόθεσιν καὶ αὐτοὺς ἕπεσθαι τῇ ἐκείνου θελήσει.

His purpose was to indict a public stigma upon our race; wherefore he erected a pillar at the tower-porch, and caused the following inscription to be engraved upon it:

προέθετο δὲ δημοσίᾳ κατὰ τοῦ ἔθνους διαδοῦναι ψόγον· καὶ ἐπὶ τοῦ κατὰ τὴν αὐλὴν πύργου στήλην ἀναστήσας ἐξεκόλαψε γραφήν,

That entrance to their own temple was to be refused to all those who would not sacrifice; that all the Jews were to be registered among the common people; that those who resisted were to be forcibly seized and put to death;

μηδένα τῶν μὴ θυόντων εἰς τὰ ἱερὰ αὐτῶν εἰσιέναι, πάντας δὲ τοὺς ᾿Ιουδαίους εἰς λαογραφίαν καὶ οἰκετικὴν διάθεσιν ἀχθῆναι, τοὺς δὲ ἀντιλέγοντας βίᾳ φερομένους τοῦ ζῆν μεταστῆσαι,

that those who were thus registered, were to be marked on their persons by the ivy-leaf symbol of Dionysus, and to be set apart with these limited rights.

.

To do away with the appearance of hating them all, he had it written underneath, that if any of them should elect to enter the community of those initiated in the rites, these should have equal rights with the Alexandrians.

ἵνα δὲ μὴ τοῖς πᾶσιν ἀπεχθόμενος φαίνηται, ὑπέγραψεν· ἐὰν δέ τινες ἐξ αὐτῶν προαιρῶνται ἐν τοῖς κατὰ τὰς τελετὰς μεμυημένοις ἀναστρέφεσθαι, τούτους ἰσοπολίτας ᾿Αλεξανδρεῦσιν εἶναι.

Some of those who were over the city, therefore, abhorring any approach to the city of piety, unhesitatingly gave in to the king, and expected to derive some great honour from a future connection with him.

῎Ενιοι μὲν οὖν ἐπὶ πόλεως τὰς τῆς πόλεως εὐσεβείας ἐπιβάθρας στυγοῦντες εὐχερῶς ἑαυτοὺς ἐδίδοσαν ὡς μεγάλης τινὸς κοινωνήσοντες εὐκλείας ἀπὸ τῆς ἐσομένης τῷ βασιλεῖ συναναστροφῆς.

A nobler spirit, however, prompted the majority to cling to their religious observances, and by paying money that they might live unmolested, these sought to escape the registration:

οἱ δὲ πλεῖστοι γενναίᾳ ψυχῇ ἐνίσχυσαν καὶ οὐ διέστησαν τῆς εὐσεβείας, τά τε χρήματα περὶ τοῦ ζῆν ἀντικαταλλασσόμενοι ἀδεῶς ἐπειρῶντο ἑαυτοὺς ρύσασθαι ἐκ τῶν ἀπογραφῶν·

cheerfully looking forward to future aid, they abhorred their own apostates, considering them to be national foes, and debarring them from the common usages of social intercourse.

εὐέλπιδες δὲ καθειστήκεισαν ἀντιλήψεως τεύξεσθαι· καὶ τοὺς ἀποχωροῦντας ἐξ αὐτῶν ἐβδελύσσοντο καὶ ὡς πολεμίους τοῦ ἔθνους ἔκρινον καὶ τῆς κοινῆς συναναστροφῆς καὶ εὐχρηστίας ἐστέρουν. Cf. A note on the meaning of the word authentia in
