γνῶθι βασιλεῦ, ὅτι τὸ δόγμα μήδοις καὶ πέρσαις, τοῦ πάντα ὁρισμὸν καὶ στάσιν, ἣν ἐὰν ὁ βασιλεὺς στήσῃ, οὐ δεῖ παραλλάξαι. οὐκ εἶ φασὶ κύριος, ἃ νενομοθέτηκας ἀνατρέψαι· μήδων γὰρ καὶ περσῶν οἱ νόμοι παρακελεύονται τοὺς τιθεμένους νόμους παρὰ πρώτου πληροῦσθαι τοῦ βασιλέως. βιασθεὶς δὲ ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ τε δῆθεν εὐλόγῷ τῶν λόγων καὶ τῷ πλήθει τῶν κατηγόρων, παραδίδωσι μὲν τοῖς λέουσι τὸν μακάριον δανιήλ · ἐπεύχεται δὲ αὐτῷ σωτηρίαν λέγων·
