But from the time when we gave up burning perfumes to the queen of heaven and draining out drink offerings to her, we have been in need of all things, and have been wasted by the sword and by need of food.

Αλλ' αφ' οτου επαυσαμεν θυμιαζοντες εις την βασιλισσαν του ουρανου και καμνοντες σπονδας εις αυτην, ωστε εστερηθημεν παντων και κατηναλωθημεν εν μαχαιρα και εν πεινη.
