Antiphon for Vespers Psalms for the Octave of Epiphany

from the Lutheran Magdeburg Cantica Sacra of 1613 (p. 224):

Caput Draconis Salvator contrivit in Jordanis flumine,
ab ejus potestate omnes eripiens.

The Savior crushes the head of the dragon in Jordan's streams
by snatching all from his power.

    Very similar to the troparia sung in the Eastern Rite at the Royal Hours on the Eve of Theophany.
