G.R. Woodward, H. Mattingly, 1914, p. 16,1
ἰδὼν δὲ αὐτὸν ἐν οὕτω πενιχρᾷ καὶ τραχυτάτῃ ἐσθῆτι τὸν λαμπροῖς ποτε ἱματίοις ἠμφιεσμένον, καὶ τὸν πολλῇ συζῶντα τρυφῇ τεταριχευμένον τῇ σκληρᾷ τῆς ἀσκήσεως ἀγωγῇ, καὶ τοῦ ἐρημικοῦ βίου ἐναργῶς περικείμενον τὰ γνωρίσματα, λύπης ὁμοῦ καὶ ὀργῆς ἐπεπλήρωτο, καί, ἐξ ἀμφοῖν τὸν λόγον κεράσας, ἔφη πρὸς αὐτόν·
Jacobus Billius Prunaeus, 1577 A.D., Migne no. 73, col. 447d1
Rex autem, cum eum qui quondam splendidis vestibus utebatur, atque in magnis deliciis vitam exigebat, tam viliter et abjecte amictum, ac religiosae exercitationis asperitate afflictum, vitaeque solitariae signa haud obscure gestantem conspexisset, moerore simul atque iracundia implebatur, atque ex utroque affectu temperato sermone, ita eum allocutus est:
G.R. Woodward, H. Mattingly, 1914

Keyser & Unger p. 4,1
Oc sem konongrenn sa hann miok vlikan þvi er hann sa hann næstom. oc hann sœmde hann oc hann var fagrbuinn i millum hœveskrar hirðar. en nu syndizt hann skarpr oc bleikr oc i hervilegom bunaðe. er þaðan var leiðilegaztr sem þa sa maðr a hann. þa leit konongr til hans bæðe af reiði oc ryggleika oc mællte.
H.E.Kinck, 1852 p. 7,1
Og da Kongen saa ham meget forandret, siden han saa ham sidst - den Gang gjorde han ham Opvartning og var smukt klædt imellem en hövisk Hird, men nu viste han sig mager og bleg og i hæslige Klæder, der syntes desto fælere, jo mere man betragtede dem - da saa Kongen paa ham baade med Vrede og Bedrövelse og sagde.
