| 3 | But he came back and said, "Father, one of our people has been strangled and thrown into the market place." | A murder in Nineveh. Tob.2.3-8 | καὶ ἐλθὼν εἶπεν Πάτερ, εἷς ἐκ τοῦ γένους ἡμῶν ἐστραγγαλωμένος ἔρριπται ἐν τῇ ἀγορᾷ. |
| 4 | So before I tasted anything I sprang up and removed the body to a place of shelter until sunset. | κἀγὼ πρὶν ἢ γεύσασθαί με ἀναπηδήσας ἀνειλόμην αὐτὸν εἴς τι οἴκημα, ἕως οὗ ἔδυ ὁ ἥλιος. | |

| 6 | Then I remembered the prophecy of Amos, how he said, "Your feasts shall be turned into mourning, | - feasts turned into mourning | Am.8:10 | καὶ ἐμνήσθην τῆς προφητείας Αμως, καθὼς εἶπεν Στραφήσονται αἱ ἑορταὶ ὑμῶν εἰς πένθος, |

| 8 | And my neighbours laughed at me and said, "He is no longer afraid that he will be put to death for doing this; he once ran away, and here he is burying the dead again!" | καὶ οἱ πλησίον ἐπεγέλων λέγοντες Οὐκέτι φοβεῖται φονευθῆναι περὶ τοῦ πράγματος τούτου· καὶ ἀπέδρα, καὶ ἰδοὺ πάλιν θάπτει τοὺς νεκρούς. | |
