They told us, “We are the servants of the Lord who created the heaven and the earth.
In order that we might inform you in writing who the leaders are, we questioned them and asked them for a list of the names of those who are at their head.
They answered us, ‘We are the servants of the Lord who created the heaven and the earth.
And in order that we might inform you in writing who the leaders are, we questioned them and asked them for a list of the names of those who are at their head.
Therefore forsooth we asked them, (so) that we might make known to thee the men, and the provosts, or reeves; and we asked them the writing of the names of the masters of the work.
