All the presidents of the kingdom, the deputies and the satraps, the counsellors and the governors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a strong interdict, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.

All the chief rulers of the kingdom, the chiefs and the captains, the wise men and the rulers, have made a common decision to put in force a law having the king's authority, and to give a strong order, that whoever makes any request to any god or man but you, O King, for thirty days, is to be put into the lions' hole.

Παντες οι προεδροι του βασιλειου, οι διοικηται και οι σατραπαι, οι αυλικοι και οι τοπαρχαι, συνεβουλευθησαν να εκδοθη βασιλικον ψηφισμα και να στηριχθη απαγορευσις, οτι οστις καμη αιτησιν τινα παρ' οποιουδηποτε θεου η ανθρωπου, εως τριακοντα ημερων, εκτος παρα σου, βασιλευ, ουτος να ριφθη εις τον λακκον των λεοντων·

All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counsellors, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.
