Responderuntque ei Zares uxor ejus, et ceteri amici: Jube parari excelsam trabem, habentem altitudinis quinquaginta cubitos, et dic mane regi ut appendatur super eam Mardochæus, et sic ibis cum rege lætus ad convivium. Placuit ei consilium, et jussit excelsam parari crucem.
Then Zares his wife, and the rest of his friends answered him: Order a great beam to be prepared, fifty cubits high, and in the morning speak to the king, that Mardochai may be hanged upon it, and so thou shalt go full of joy with the king to the banquet. The counsel pleased him, and he commanded a high gibbet to be prepared.
Et responde ad illo Zare uxore de illo, et cetero amicos: iube para excelle trabe, habe de altitudine quinquaginta cubitoses, et dic mane ad rege ut Mardochaeo super illa appende, et sic i cum rege laeto ad convivio. Place ad illo consilio, et iube excelso para cruce.
