Translated by Catherine R. Proppe,  August 17, 2016

Αἰθέρος,
θυμίαμα κρόκον.
 
To Aither, God of the Stratosphere
Divine-medium: saffron
 
Ὦ Διὸς ὑψιμέλαθρον ἔχων κράτος αἰὲν ἀτειρές,
O Great Dios of the o’er arching-firmament: mighty, eternal, indestructible,
 
ἄστρων ἠελίου τε σεληναίης τε μέρισμα,
Starry home of the Sun and Moon,
 
πανδαμάτωρ, πυρίπνου, πᾶσι ζωοῖσιν ἔναυσμα,
All-Dominator whose fiery breath kindles all lives,
 
ὑψιφανὴς Αἰθήρ, κόσμου στοιχεῖον ἄριστον,
O’er-arching Light of Aither, the Cosmos’ element supreme,
 
ἀγλαὸν ὦ βλάστημα, σελασφόρον, ἀστεροφεγγές,
Gloriously bringing-forth budding offspring with your light-bearing, starry flame,
 
κικλήσκων λίτομαί σε κεκραμένον εὔδιον εἶναι.
I entreat with this prayer your gentle commingling of the nine heavenly realms.
