et accedentes locuti sunt regi super edicto rex numquid non constituisti ut omnis homo qui rogaret quemquam de diis et hominibus usque ad dies triginta nisi a te rex mitteretur in lacum leonum ad quod respondens rex ait verus sermo iuxta decretum Medorum atque Persarum quod praevaricari non licet
And they came and spoke to the king concerning the edict: O king, hast thou not decreed, that every man that should make a request to any of the gods, or men, for thirty days, but to thyself, O king, should be cast into the den of the lions? And the king answered them, saying: The word is true, according to the decree of the Medes and Persians, which it is not lawful to violate.
