Διοτι οι ζωντες γνωριζουσιν οτι θελουσιν αποθανει· αλλ' οι νεκροι δεν γνωριζουσιν ουδεν ουδε εχουσι πλεον απολαυσιν· επειδη το μνημοσυνον αυτων ελησμονηθη.
For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
