he answered and said to Arioch the king’s captain, Wherefore is the decree so urgent from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.

He made answer and said to Arioch, O captain of the king, why is the king's order so cruel? Then Arioch gave Daniel an account of the business.

απεκριθη και ειπε προς τον Αριωχ, τον αρχοντα του βασιλεως, Δια τι η βιαια αυτη αποφασις παρα του βασιλεως; Και ο Αριωχ εφανερωσε το πραγμα προς τον Δανιηλ.

He answered and said to Arioch the king’s captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.
