- English translations (Windeatt: 1998): ‘But now to the point, dear, dear brother: keep in mind everything that I’ve said, and keep things to yourself, and now be in good spirits, because on the day you’ll find me true. I’ll set up the proceedings in such a way — as God is my witness — that you’ll be satisfied, because it’ll be exactly as you’d have it.
- Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): それはさておき、さあ主題に戻りましょう、大事な、愛する兄弟、私が申し上げたことをすべて記憶に留めておいてください、ご自分だけに秘めて、これから晴れやかな顔をしてください。思いが適う時が来れば私の信実がお分かり頂けるでしょうから。神も御照覧あれ、若君にご満足いただけるような、まことにうまい方法でこの事柄を運んでお見せしましょう。まったく若君のお望みの通りにいたしますから。
