Notum sit regi, isse nos ad Judæam provinciam, ad domum Dei magni, quæ ædificatur lapide impolito, et ligna ponuntur in parietibus: opusque illud diligenter exstruitur, et crescit in manibus eorum.
Be it known to the king, that we went to the province of Judea, to the house of the great God, which they are building with unpolished stones, and timber is laid in the walls: and this work is carried on diligently and advanceth in their hands.
Noto es ad rege, i nos ad Iudaea provincia, ad domo de Deo magna, que aedifica lapide impola, et lignos pone in parietes: et opere illo diligenter exstrue, et cresce in manus de illos.
