Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.

Baltassar rex fecit grande convivium optimatibus suis mille : et unusquisque secundum suam bibebat ætatem.
Vulgate
Βαλτασὰρ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐποίησεν δοχὴν μεγάλην ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἐγκαινισμοῦ τῶν βασιλείων αὐτοῦ· ἐκάλεσεν ἄνδρας δισχιλίους. ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ Βαλτασὰρ ἐνυψούμενος ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴνου καὶ καυχώμενος ἐπῄνεσεν πάντας τοὺς θεοὺς τῶν ἐθνῶν τοὺς χωνευτοὺς καὶ γλυπτοὺς ἐν τῷ τόπῳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ τῷ θεῷ τῷ ὑψίστῳ οὐκ ἔδωκεν αἴνεσιν. ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ νυκτὶ ἐξῆλθον δάκτυλοι ὡσεὶ ἀνθρώπου καὶ ἐπέγραψαν ἐπὶ τοῦ τοίχου οἴκου αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τοῦ κονιάματος κατέναντι τοῦ λύχνους Μανή, φαρές, θεκέλ. ἔστι δὲ ἡ ἑρμηνεία αὐτῶν· μανή, ἠρίθμηται· φαρές, ἐξῆρται· θεκέλ, ἕσταται. Βαλτασὰρ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐποίησεν ἑστιατορίαν μεγάλην τοῖς ἑταίροις αὐτοῦ.
