Nam cum in Persidem ducerentur patres nostri, sacerdotes qui tunc cultores Dei erant, acceptum ignem de altari occulte absconderunt in valle, ubi erat puteus altus et siccus, et in eo contutati sunt eum, ita ut omnibus ignotus esset locus.
For when our fathers were led into Persia, the priests that then were worshippers of God, took privately the fire from the altar, and hid it in a valley where there was a deep pit without water, and there they kept it safe, so that the place was unknown to all men.
Nam cum in Perside duc patres nostro, sacerdotes qui tunc cultores de Deo es, accipe igni de altari occulte absconde in valle, ubi es puteo altissimo et sicco, et in eo contuta es illo, ita ut ad omni ignoto es loco.
