Brenton 1851
Your parents, or your children, were they here, to these wild beasts a large repast they should have furnished; not these innocent Jews, who me and my forefathers loyally have served.
Greek · Brenton
εἴ σαι γονεῖς παρῆσαν ἢ παίδων γοναὶ, τήνδε θηρσὶν ἀγρίοις ἐσκεύασαν δαψιλῆ θοῖναν, ἀντὶ τῶν ἀνεγκλήτων ἐμοὶ καὶ προγόνοις ἐμοῖς ἀποδεδειγμένων ὁλοσχερῆ βεβαίαν πίστιν ἐξόχως, Ἰουδαίων.
