Greek text · Dindorf 4:450

ὁμοῦ δὲ πᾶν γένος ἡλικίας ἄρρενός τε καὶ θήλεος φύσεως ὅλῃ διανοίας ἰσχύι· διʼ εὐχῶν καὶ εὐχαριστίας γεγηθότι νῷ καὶ ψυχῇ τὸν τῶν ἀγαθῶν παραίτιον θεὸν ἐγέραιρον. ἐκίνει δὲ καὶ λόγους ἅπας τῶν παρόντων ἀρχόντων πανηγυρικοὺς, ὡς ἑκάστῳ παρῆν δυνάμεως, θειάζων τὴν πανήγυριν.

English · Claude translation

And together every age, male and female, with all the strength of their minds, with prayers and thanksgiving, with glad mind and soul, honored God, the author of these blessings. And every one of the leaders present delivered festive orations, as each had ability, adding divine luster to the assembly.
