��From afar cometh hearkening she who is his daughter whom he, her father, did send to this green carpet, beautifully clean. Here she arrived in this his court with every adorn- ment that belongeth to her, having journeyed from whence her father sent her. At last she came, weeping, unto this his court, be- neath the seven beautiful heavens, beneath the north, the west, the south and the east. From there did her father send her that she might appear in this his court.
Therefore did we grasp her to raise up her who was created round about; laying her on her green cloth in her court, where she was created, we did roast and eat her. Therefore will He who is her father and her mother forgive us because of all her tears. There did she appear and wait until we should raise her up.
Thus do I give thee to know. May God have mercy on thee.
