Greek · Brenton
καὶ κατεκράτησαν τοῦ τόπου παντὸς τῇ βουλῇ αὐτῶν καὶ τῇ μακροθυμίᾳ, καὶ ὁ τόπος ἦν μακρὰν ἀπέχων ἀπʼ αὐτῶν σφόδρα· καὶ τῶν βασιλέων τῶν ἐπελθόντων ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς ἀπʼ ἄκρου τῆς γῆς ἕως συνέτριψαν αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἐπάταξαν ἐν αὐτοῖς πληγὴν μεγάλην, καὶ οἱ ἐπίλοιποι διδόασιν αὐτοῖς φόρον κατʼ ἐνιαυτόν·
