Cyprian, on Dan 6:26

Cyprian · c. A.D. 200–258
Dan 6:26 · Douay-Rheims
“It is decreed by me, that in all my empire and my kingdom all men dread and fear the God of Daniel. For he is the living and eternal God for ever: and his kingdom shall not be destroyed, and his power shall be for ever.”
On this verse:
“The foundation and strength of hope and faith is fear. In Psalm 111: "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." Of the same thing in the Wisdom of Solomon, … in the Proverbs, … in Isaiah, … in Genesis, … and in Psalm 2, … Then Darius the king wrote, "To all peoples, tribes and languages that are in my kingdom, peace be to you from my face. I decree and ordain that all those who are in my kingdom shall fear and tremble before the Most High God whom Daniel serves."”
