Greek text · Lake, LCL 25:52

Ὅτε οὖν ἐπαύσατο μετʼ ἐμοῦ λαλοῦσα, ἦλθον οἱ ἓξ νεανίσκοι οἱ οἰκοδομοῦντες καὶ ἀπήνεγκαν αὐτὴν πρὸς τὸν πύργον, καὶ ἄλλοι τέσσαρες ἦραν τὸ συμψέλιον καὶ ἀπήνεγκαν καὶ αὐτὸ πρὸς τὸν πύργον. τούτων τὸ πρόσωπον οὐκ εἶδον, ὅτι ἀπεστραμμένοι ἦσαν.

English · Claude translation

When, then, she had stopped speaking with me, the six young men who were building came and carried her away to the tower, and four others took up the couch and carried it also to the tower. I did not see their faces, because they were turned away.
