καὶ βασιλεία τετάρτη ἔσται ἰσχυρὰ ὡς ὁ σίδηρος ὃν τρόπον γὰρ ὁ σίδηρος λεπτύνει καὶ δαμάζει πάντα, οὕτως λεπτυνεῖ πάντα καὶ δαμάσει . τὴν ῥωμαικὴν λέγει βασιλείαν, ἰσχυροτάτην μὲν γενομένην, καὶ πάντων, ὡς ἔπος εἰπεῖν, τῶν ἐθνῶν περιγενομένην, δασμὸν δὲ καὶ φόρον παρὰ πάντων κομισαμένην. τὸ γὰρ λεπτυνεῖ ἐπὶ τούτου τέθεικε, τὸ δὲ δαμάσει ἐπὶ τῆς ὑπακοῆς τε καὶ εὐταξίας καὶ τῆς ἐννόμου πολιτείας.
