| 3 | οταν |  | γαρ |  | λεγωσιν |  | ειρηνη |  | και |  | ασφαλεια |  | τοτε |  | αιφνιδιος |  | αυτοις |
|  | For when |  | ♦ |  | they may say, |  | Peace |  | and |  | security, |  | then |  | suddenly |  | upon 3 them 4 |

εφισταται |  | ολεθρος |  | ωσπερ |  | η |  | ωδιν |  | τη |  | εν |  | γαστρι |  | εχουση |
