Main Translation

Translation 1
A pledge from Emperor Constantine, a name from a name
From long ago, a lineage founded by the gods.

2
The triumphant age, the sweet one, passed far too soon
The milky sky receives you in the sacred halls
From the mother's womb. This is your worthy faith.
Citation Anna Pokorny
