And a regular amount of food and wine every day from the king's table was ordered for them by the king; and they were to be cared for for three years so that at the end of that time they might take their places before the king.

Και διεταξεν εις αυτους ο βασιλευς καθημερινην μεριδα απο των βασιλικων εδεσματων και απο του οινου, τον οποιον αυτος επινε· και αφου ανατραφωσι τρια ετη, να ιστανται μετα ταυτα ενωπιον του βασιλεως.

And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king’s meat, and of the wine which he drank: so nourishing them three years, that at the end thereof they might stand before the king.
