1 And I saw one of those four who had come out first, and he seized that first star which had fallen from the heaven, and bound it hand and foot and cast it into an abyss: now that abyss was narrow and deep, and horrible and dark.
2 And one of them drew a sword, and gave it to those elephants and camels and asses: then they began to strike each other, and the whole earth quaked because of them.
3 And as I was seeing in the vision, look, one of those four who had come out stoned (them) from heaven, and gathered and took all the great stars whose privy members were like those of horses, and bound them all hand and foot, and cast them in an abyss of the earth.
