²³ but [or soothly] the Maker (out) of nought of the world, that formed the nativity of man, and found (out the) beginning of all, shall yield again to you spirit (or shall give you again breath or a spirit), and life, with mercy, as now ye despise yourselves for the laws of him.

²⁴ Forsooth Antiochus deemed him(self) for to be despised, and also by (the) despisable voice of a reprover, and when yet the younger was alive, not only he admonished by words, but with an oath he affirmed to make him rich and blissful, and to have him (for) a friend, translated, (or transferred, or turned) from (the) laws of (his) fathers, and to give to him needful things. [Forsooth Antiochus, deeming him(self) for to be despised, and also despised by voice of the reproving, when yet the younger was alive, not only he admonished by words, but and with (an) oath he affirmed, to making him rich and blessed, and to having him (for a) friend, translated from (the) country laws, and to giving (him) needful things.]

²⁵ But when the young man was not bowed to these things, the king called the mother, and softly counselled her, that she should be made to the young man into health (or his deliverance).
