[1] And I also walked with him and was glad when I saw such good things. And the shepherd¹ said to me: Go and bring lime and a light clay, that I may fill up the marks of the stones² which have been taken up, and put into the building. For all the ground round the tower must be level.

[1] Κἀγὼ περιπατῶν μετ̓ αὐτοῦ ἱλαρὸς ἤμην τοιαῦτα ἀγαθὰ βλέπων. λέγει δέ μοι ὁ ποιμήν: Ὕπαγε καὶ φέρε ἄσβεστον καὶ ὄστρακον λεπτόν, ἵνα τοὺς τύπους τῶν λίθων τῶν ἠρμένων καὶ εἰς τὴν οἰκοδομὴν βεβλημένων ¹ ἀναπληρώσω: δεῖ γὰρ τοῦ πύργου τὰ κύκλῳ πάντα ὁμαλὰ γενέσθαι.
