• Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
• English translations (Windeatt: 1998): ‘No! I didn’t say anything about that, ha, ha!’ said she. ‘God help me, you’re ruining everything!’ ‘Oh, forgive me, dear niece,’ he said at once, ‘whatever I said, I only meant well, by Mars, the god that is helmeted in steel! Now don’t be angry, my own blood, my dear niece.’ ‘Well, all right,’ said she, ‘all’s forgiven now!’
• Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): 「あら、わたし、何も話しておりませんわよ、ほほほ！神かけて、叔父様は何もかも曲解なさっているわよ！」「おお、姪よ、ごめん、ごめん」と彼はすぐに言った。「鋼鉄の兜を着ける神、マールスに誓って！私が何を言ったにせよ、全然悪気がなかったのだ。さあ、私の血縁、私の姪よ、怒らないでおくれ。」「そうね、ええ」と彼女は言った。「許してあげるわ。」
• Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): “嘿，我没有这样讲过！”她道，“天神佑我，一切都让你弄糟了！”“啊，饶恕我，甥女儿，”他跟着说道，“不管我说了什么，我没有一点坏意，自有那戴钢盔的战神马尔斯为证！求你不要生气，我自己的血肉，我的好甥女。”“好了，”她道，“暂且饶过了！”
