τούτῳ οὖν ἐγὼ στοιχῶν τῷ κανόνι, ἄλλως δὲ καὶ τὸν ἐπηρτημένον τῷ δούλῳ κίνδυνον ὑφορώμενος, ὅς, λαβὼν παρὰ τοῦ δεσπότου τὸ τάλαντον, εἰς γῆν ἐκεῖνο κατώρυξε καὶ τὸ δοθὲν πρὸς ἐργασίαν ἔκρυψεν ἀπραγμάτευτον, ἐξήγησιν ψυχωφελῆ ἕως ἐμοῦ καταντήσασαν οὐδαμῶς σιωπήσομαι· ἥνπερ μοι ἀφηγήσαντο ἄνδρες εὐλαβεῖς τῆς ἐνδοτέρας τῶν Αἰθιόπων χώρας, οὕστινας Ἰνδοὺς οἶδεν ὁ λόγος καλεῖν, ἐξ ὑπομνημάτων ταύτην ἀψευδῶν μεταφράσαντες, ἔχει δὲ οὕτως.
Jacobus Billius Prunaeus, 1577 A.D., Migne no. 73, col. 443,1-445,1
Huic igitur ipsae quoque regulae insistens, ac praeterea impendens ignavo illi servo periculum metuens, qui (445,1) talentum a Domino acceptum in terram abdidit, quodque ei quaestus faciendi causa datum erat ita occultavit, ut nihil ex eo lucri faceret (Matth. XXV), historiam animabus utilem, ad me usque allatam silentio minime praeteribo, quam mihi pii quidam viri interioris Aethiopiae (quos Indos vocant) ex veris commentariis translatam narraverunt. Haec porro ad hunc modum se habet.
G.R. Woodward, H. Mattingly, 1914
So I too, “walking by this rule,” and heedful of the danger hanging over that servant who, having received of his lord the talent, buried it in the earth, and hid out of use that which was given him to trade withal, will in no wise pass over in silence the edifying story that hath come to me, the which devout men from the inner land Of the Ethiopians, whom our tale calleth Indians, delivered unto me, translated from trustworthy records. It readeth thus.
