Sed'si qua extremis miserorum votis apud deos vis est, et cum ipso spiritu profusas preces aliquod numen exaudit'ille quidem sospes et incolumis, longeque supra sortem fortunae meae et invidiam deorum positus, in solio Cyri gloriosam aetatem exigat, suaeque virtutis memor, eum matri liberisque meis locum apud se esse patiatur quem illi fide et obsequio meruerint.
But'if with the gods the last wishes of the wretched have any power, and if any divinity listens to prayers poured out with the very breath of life'may Alexander, safe and unharmed, and raised far above the lot of my fortune and the envy of the gods, on the throne of Cyrus complete a glorious life, and mindful of his own virtue, may he allow my mother and my children to have that place in his regard which they have deserved because of their loyalty and their respect.
