O Dionysos Ptoaleos who protects his people
from the heart of envy, from the eye of evil,
from the deceitful tongue, and every sort of wickedness;
hear my prayers, Dionysos Rōmaleos, and help me
to remain calm and strong in the face of all that comes
against me or mine; and should conflict ensue,
may I fight like you fought, Dionysos Aimaleos,
when you liberated the Indian land from wicked king Deriadēs,
or avenged the vines that maniac Lykourgos hacked up,
and slaughtered many a foe during the Gigantomachy;
my God, I dedicate these lives to you,
and shall throw a lavish feast to celebrate
the humbling of my enemies, and their utter defeat.
