and_o you_o likewise_o my_o son_n cyrus_n i_o hearty_o affect_v you_o all_o as_o good_a reason_n i_o have_v both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o for_o as_o i_o be_o your_o king_n so_o you_o cyrus_n

be_v once_o the_o commander_n of_o that_o power_n by_o the_o assistance_n of_o god_n have_v make_v you_o persian_n renown_v with_o all_o man_n and_o honour_a throughout_o all_o asia_n and_o very_o as_o the_o valiant_a knight_n of_o those_o that_o serve_v under_o he_o he_o have_v enrich_v so_o to_o the_o very_a multitude_n of_o common_a soldier_n he_o have_v true_o pay_v their_o wage_n and_o find_v they_o food_n moreover_o by_o erect_v a_o cavalry_n among_o the_o persian_n he_o have_v effect_v that_o they_o be_v as_o good_a horseman_n upon_o the_o plain_n as_o other_o if_o you_o therefore_o hereafter_o persist_v in_o this_o mind_n still_o you_o shall_v procure_v one_o unto_o another_o manifold_a commodity_n but_o if_o either_o you_o for_o your_o part_n cyrus_n be_v puff_v up_o for_o the_o late_a good_a success_n of_o fortune_n shall_v go_v about_o to_o be_v a_o absolute_a lord_n over_o the_o persian_n thereby_o to_o make_v a_o private_a gain_n of_o they_o as_o over_o other_o nation_n or_o you_o that_o be_v native_n and_o subject_n envious_a of_o his_o puissance_n endeavour_n and_o practice_v to_o depose_v he_o and_o overthrow_v his_o royal_a estate_n know_v this_o for_o certain_a that_o you_o shall_v hinder_v one_o another_o in_o the_o achieve_v of_o many_o great_a and_o noble_a exploit_n to_o the_o end_n therefore_o that_o these_o inconvenience_n befall_v not_o unto_o you_o that_o you_o may_v enjoy_v all_o good_a blessing_n i_o have_v think_v it_o meet_v after_o we_o have_v sacrifice_v together_o and_o call_v the_o god_n to_o record_v to_o make_v this_o covenant_n that_o you_o cyrus_n for_o your_o part_n in_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o persian_n if_o any_o one_o either_o enterprise_n the_o invasion_n of_o the_o persian_a land_n or_o attempt_v

go_v about_o to_o dispossess_v cyrus_n of_o his_o kingdom_n or_o if_o subject_n rebel_n and_o revolt_v from_o he_o shall_v be_v ready_a to_o assist_v both_o yourselves_o and_o cyrus_n according_a to_o his_o commandment_n and_o very_o so_o long_o as_o god_n shall_v lend_v i_o life_n i_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o persia_n but_o after_o my_o decease_n cyrus_n shall_v be_v king_n thereof_o if_o he_o survive_v who_o when_o he_o king_n he_o as_o king_n once_o come_v into_o persia_n shall_v do_v well_o and_o devout_o to_o offer_v sacrifice_n for_o you_o like_v as_o now_o myself_o do_v sacrifice_v but_o while_o he_o make_v his_o abode_n in_o another_o country_n i_o suppose_v it_o will_v be_v expedient_a for_o you_o that_o one_o of_o our_o line_n and_o blood_n who_o you_o think_v the_o very_o best_a perform_v that_o which_o appertain_v to_o religion_n and_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n when_o cambyses_n have_v utter_v these_o word_n both_o cyrus_n and_o the_o ruler_n also_o of_o persia_n agree_v thereto_o and_o by_o enact_v a_o decree_n ratify_v the_o same_o and_o as_o they_o then_o capitulate_v and_o pass_v these_o covenant_n call_v the_o god_n to_o witness_v so_o at_o this_o time_n the_o persian_n and_o their_o king_n do_v constant_o observe_v the_o same_o after_o these_o affair_n thus_o accomplish_v cyrus_n depart_v and_o when_o he_o be_v return_v back_o into_o media_n by_o
