Καὶ ἐξῆλθε Βαγώας ἀπὸ προσώπου Ὀλοφέρνου, καὶ εἰσῆλθε πρὸς αὐτὴν, καὶ εἶπε, μὴ ὀκνησάτω δὴ ἡ παιδίσκη ἡ καλὴ αὕτη ἐλθοῦσα πρὸς τὸν κύριόν μου, δοξασθῆναι κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ, καὶ πίεσαι μεθʼ ἡμῶν εἰς εὐφροσύνην οἶνον, καὶ γενηθῆναι ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ ὡς θυγάτηρ μία τῶν υἱῶν Ἀσσοὺρ, αἳ παρεστήκασιν ἐν οἴκῳ Ναβουχοδονόσορ.
