Then the mother of the living child came forward, for her heart went out to her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the child; do not on any account put it to death. But the other woman said, It will not be mine or yours; let it be cut in two.

Τοτε η γυνη, της οποιας ητο ο υιος ο ζων, ελαλησε προς τον βασιλεα, διοτι τα σπλαγχνα αυτης επονεσαν δια τον υιον αυτης, και ειπεν, Ω, κυριε μου, δος εις αυτην το παιδιον το ζων, και κατ' ουδενα τροπον μη θανατωσης αυτο. Η δε αλλη ειπε, Μητε ιδικον μου ας ηναι, μητε ιδικον σου· διαιρεσατε αυτο.

Then spake the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her bowels yearned upon her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay it. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divide it.
