18.2 And he heard all she said. Then, within a brief instant, his majesty, life, prosperity, health! sent out

18.4 A splinter flew, and it went into the mouth of the favorite, and
18.5 she swallowed it. And she became pregnant within the passing of a small moment. And they made
18.6 from the two trees everything that was in her heart. Many days after this, then,
18.7 she gave birth to a son. And word was taken to His Majesty, life, prosperity, health!:
