[326] τὸν μέγιστον καὶ εὐτυχέστατον ἐν ἀνθρώποις κλῆρον ἐχαρίσω μοι, βασιλείαν, πάλαι μὲν μιᾶς χώρας, αὖθις δὲ καὶ ἑτέρας μείζονος, τὴν Τραχωνῖτιν λεγομένην καὶ τὴν Γαλιλαίαν συνάψας· μὴ τὰ πρὸς περιουσίαν μοι χαρισάμενος, ὦ δέσποτα, τὰ ἀναγκαῖα ἀφέλῃς μηδὲ
εἰς φῶς ἀναγαγὼν τηλαυγέστατον ἐξ ὑπαρχῆς εἰς βαθύτατον σκότος ῥίψῃς.

[326] "You have given me the greatest and most glorious inheritance among mankind, the rank and power of a king, at first over one district, then over another and a more important one, adding to my kingdom the district called Trachonitis and Galilee. Do not then, O master! after having loaded me with means of superfluity, deprive me of what is actually necessary. Do not, after you have raised me up to the most brilliant light, cast me down again from my eminence to the most profound darkness.
