6SoH116 the administratorsH5632 and satrapsH324H459 went togetherH7284 toH5922 the kingH4430H3652 and saidH560, “O KingH4430 DariusH1868, may you liveH2418 foreverH5957! 7AllH3606 the royalH4437 administratorsH5632, prefectsH5460, satrapsH324, advisersH1907, and governorsH6347 have agreedH3272 that the kingH4430 should establishH6966 an ordinanceH7010 and enforceH8631 a decreeH633 thatH1768 forH5705 thirtyH8533 daysH3118 anyoneH3606 whoH1768 petitionsH1156H1159H4481 anyH3606 godH426 or manH606 except youH3861H4481, O kingH4430, will be thrownH7412 into the denH1358 of lionsH744. 8ThereforeH3705, O kingH4430, establishH6966 the decreeH633 and signH7560 the documentH3792 so thatH1768 it cannotH3809 be changedH8133—in accordance with the lawH1882 of the MedesH4076 and PersiansH6540, whichH1768 cannotH3809 be repealedH5709.”
