Αὐτόματοι δ' οἱ πάντες ὁμιλαδὸν ἦλθον ἀδελφεοί,

Πᾶσαί τ' αὐτοκασίγνηται, πηοί τε, ἔται τε,

Οἳ δ' ἄρ ὃι κεδνότατοι τὸ πρὶν καὶ φίλτατοι ἦσαν,

Αἰεὶ δ' ἐν δαίτῃσι καὶ εἰλαπίνῃσι παρέσταν

Αὐτοῦ ἐνὶ μεγάροισι, παραφασίῃσι δ' ἔθελγον

Οὐ νόον, αἱμυλίοις τε λόγοις ἄχος ἐξακέσαντο,

Καὶ παραμυθήσαντο, καὶ ἔστενον οἷα πέπονθεν,

Οἷά τ' οϊζύσασκε Θεοῦ ἰότητι μογήσας,

(Ἔτλη δ' ὃι ἔπω τις ἐπιχθόνιος βροτὸς ἄλλος)

Ἀργύρειον δ' αὐτῷ καὶ χρύσεον ὅρμον ἔδωκαν

Ἀνθρακὰς, ἀγλαὰ δῶρα, κακῆς παραμύθιον ἄτης.

[11] All his brothers came of their own accord in a throng, and all his own sisters, and kinsmen by marriage, and clansmen; and those who had been his most honored and dearest before stood by him always at feasts and banquets in his own halls, and with consolations they soothed his mind, and with winning words they healed his grief, and comforted him, and lamented what he had suffered, and how he had toiled in misery by the will of God — (such a thing some other mortal on earth endured) — and they gave him a necklace of silver and gold, glowing gifts, a comfort for his evil ruin.

Ultro autem ei omnes catervatim venerunt fratres,

Omnéſque ſorores, affinéſque, amicíque,

Quíque ei chariſſimi antea & amiciſſimi erant,

Semper autem in conviviis & feſtis aderant

Ejus in domo, adhortationibúſque demulcebant

Ejus animum, blandíſque verbis dolorem ſedabant,

Et conſolabantur, & plorabant qualia paſſus fuerat,

Qualiá q; que ærumnoſè-tulerat Dei voluntate afflictus, ( alius)

( Toleravit autem qualia haudquaquam quis terrenus homo

Argenteum verò nummum ei & aureum monile dederunt

Singuli, ſplendida dona, mali ſolatium damni.
