I will not disgrace the sacred arms, nor will I desert my comrade in arms wherever I may be stationed. And I will fight in defense of the sacred and the secular, and I will hand on my fatherland not less, but greater and better, as far as is in my own power and together with all my comrades, and I will pay thoughtful heed to whoever may be in authority over me, and to the established laws and to whatever laws may be established in the future. And if anyone overthrows them, I will not permit it as far as is in my own power and together with all my comrades, and I will honor our ancestral traditions as sacred. Let these gods be witness: Aglauros, Hestia, Enyo, Enyalios, Ares and Athena Areia, Zeus, Thallo ("Flourish"), Auxo ("Increase"), Hegemone ("Leadership"), Heracles, the Boundaries of the Fatherland, the Wheat, the Barley, the Vines, the Olive Trees, the Fig Trees.
