Death & Dying
Book VIII, 42: On the Same
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. II, 1917)
Death & Dying
Holy Nonna, thou who hadst offered all thy life to God, didst give him thy soul at the end as a pure sacrifice, For here thou didst depart this life in prayer, and the altar gave glory, my mother, to thy death.
