5-25:25
Ἵνα μηκέτι συρίζῃ ὁ δράκων. [τοῦτό φησι διὰ τὸ παρακληθῆναι ὑπὸ τῶν δαιμόνων μὴ βαλεῖν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν ἄβυσσον. ἢ τοῦτο λέγει διὰ τὸ εἰρηκέναι αὐτὸν τῷ κυρίῳ ταῦτά σοι πάντα σώσω..Ἣ ὅτι μὴ δύνασαι οὕτως ὑποτάξαι αὐτὸν ὡς αἱρεῖσθαι μηκέτι σοι πολεμεῖν.] — [τὸ ψέλλιον κόσμος ἐστὶ τῆς χειρός, τοῦτό ἐστι τὸ ἔργον ἀγαθόν. ὁ οὐν ἔχων τὸ τοιοῦτον ψέλλιον τρυπήσει τὸ χεῖλος τοῦ δράκοντος τοῦ ἐξ ἐναντίας τοῦ διαβόλου ἐντρεπομένου, μὴ ἔχοντός τι λαλῆσαι κατ' αὐτοῦ.]
為要叫那龍不再發出嘶聲。〔他這樣說，是因為眾鬼魔求牠不要把牠們扔進深淵；或他這樣說，是因為那龍對主說：「這一切我都要為你存留」；又或是因為你不能將牠如此制伏，以致牠甘願不再與你爭戰。〕——〔那手鐲是手上的妝飾，這就是善行。所以凡有這樣手鐲的，必刺穿那龍的嘴唇——就是那魔鬼，牠從對敵一面蒙了羞愧，無話可說來攻擊他。〕
So that the dragon may no longer hiss. [He says this because the demons besought him not to cast them into the abyss; or he says this because the dragon said to the Lord, 'All these things I will save for you'; or because you are not able so to subdue him that he choose to war against you no more.]—[The bracelet is an ornament of the hand; this is the good work. He, then, who possesses such a bracelet will pierce the lip of the dragon—of the devil, who from the opposing side is put to shame, having nothing to say against him.]
