Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν μηνὶ Νισὰν ἔτους εἰκοστοῦ Ἀρσαθερθὰ βασιλεῖ καὶ ἦν οἶνος ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ, καὶ ἔλαβον τὸν οἶνον καὶ ἔδωκα τῷ βασιλεῖ, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ἕτερος ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπέν μοι ὁ βασιλεύς Διὰ τί τὸ πρόσωπόν σου πονηρόν, καὶ οὐκ εἶ μετριάζων; οὐκ ἔστιν τοῦτο εἰ μὴ πονηρία καρδίας. καὶ ἐφοβήθην πολὺ σφόδρα, καὶ εἶπα τῷ βασιλεῖ Ὁ βασιλεὺς εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ζήτω. διὰ τί οὐ μὴ γένηται πονηρὸν τὸ πρόσωπόν μου, διότι ἡ πόλις, οἶκος μνημείων πατέρων μου, ἠρημώθη καὶ αἱ πύλαι αὐτῆς κατεβρώθησαν ἐν πυρί; καὶ εἶπέν μοι ὁ βασιλεύς Περὶ τίνος τοῦτο συνζητεῖς; καὶ προσηυξάμην πρὸς τὸν θεὸν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ εἶπα τῷ βασιλεῖ Εἰ ἐπὶ τὸν βασιλέα ἀγαθόν, καὶ εἰ ἀγαθυνθήσεται ὁ παῖς σου ἐνώπιόν σου ὥστε πέμψαι αὐτὸν εἰς Ἰουδά, εἰς πόλιν μνημείων πατέρων μου, καὶ ἀνοικοδομήσω αὐτήν. καὶ εἶπέν μοι ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ ἡ παλλακὴ ἡ καθημένη ἐχόμενα αὐτοῦ Ἕως πότε ἔσται ἡ πορεία σου, καὶ πότε ἐπιστρέψεις; καὶ ἠγαθύνθη ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ἀπέστειλέν με, καὶ ἔδαωκα αὐτῷ ὄρον. καὶ εἶπα τῷ βασιλεῖ Εἰ ἐπὶ τὸν βασιλέα ἀγαθόν, ἐπιστολὰς δότω μοι πρὸς τοὺς ἐπάρχους πέραν τοῦ ποταμοῦ, ὥστε παραγαγεῖν με ἕως ἔλθω ἐπὶ Ἰουδά, καὶ ἐπιστολὴν ἐπὶ Ἀσὰφ φύλακα τοῦ παραδείσου ὅς ἐστιν τῷ βασιλεῖ, ὥστε δοῦναί μοι ξύλα στεγάσαι τὰς πύλας καὶ εἰς τὸ τεῖχος τῆς πόλεως καὶ εἰς οἶκον ὃν εἰσελεύσομαι εἰς αὐτόν. καὶ ἔδωκέν μοι ὁ βασιλεύς, ὡς χεὶρ θεοῦ ἡ ἀγαθή. Καὶ ἦλθον πρὸς τοὺς ἐπάρχους πέραν τοῦ ποταμοῦ, καὶ ἔδωκα αὐτοῖς τὰς ἐπιστολὰς τοῦ βασιλέως· καὶ ἀπέστειλεν μετʼ ἐμοῦ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἀρχηγοὺς δυνάμεως καὶ ἱππεῖς. καὶ ἤκουσεν Σαναβαλλὰτ Ἁρωνεί, καὶ πονηρὸν αὐτοῖς ἐγένετο ὅτι ἥκει ἄνθρανπος ζητῆσαι ἀγαθὸν τοῖς υἱρῖς Ἰσραήλ. καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ, καὶ ἤμην ἐκεῖ ἡμέρας τρεῖς.
