Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 43:8

μὴν κατὰ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῆς ἐστιν, αὐξανομένη θαυμαστῶς ἐν ἀλλοιώσει, σκεῦος παρεμβολῶν ἐν ὕψει, ἐν στερεώματι οὐρανοῦ ἐκλάμπων.
King James Version (KJV)

The month is called after her name, increasing wonderfully in her changing, being an instrument of the armies above, shining in the firmament of heaven;

Modern English

The month takes its name from her, waxing wonderfully as she changes, an instrument of the heavenly hosts, shining in the vault of the sky.
