Viri autem illi, intelligentes regem, dixerunt ei: Scito, rex, quia lex Medorum atque Persarum est ut omne decretum, quod constituerit rex, non liceat immutari.
But those men perceiving the king's design, said to him: Know thou, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, that no decree which the king hath made, may be altered.
Viros autem illo, intellige rege, dic ad illo: sci, rege, quia lege de Medios et de Persas es ut omni decreto, rege constitue quod, non lice immuta.
