I got ahold of a book by a certain Dr. Helen Tzima Otto "The Great Monarch and WWIII" a few months back and finally took the time to type out one of the main prophecies she translated into English: The Anonymou Paraphrasis.

There's a whole bunch of stuff that I don't agree at all with her in her books, but I have to give her big time credit for putting this out there. I've cut out all of her commentary except for a few bracketed items that help make some sense out of the stranger passages. Not that she doesn't have some good ideas that gel with what the western prophecies tend to touch upon. At least she's open to the idea of a Catholic Monarch! Maybe there's hope for conversion after all.

It's a very old collection of even older prophecies that could go back almost as far as the Sibylline Oracles. It was brought together under Byzantine Emperor Leo VI the Philosopher a good hundred and fifty years or so prior to the Great Schism.

That being said, it's kinda all over the place. At least it has a lot of new information you may or may not find interesting. As always, food for thought.

Anonymou Paraphrasis

The one true King, who is inhabiting a humid place to avoid the heat; who men have expulsed from his own dwelling and gave him a place to live in the islands; who is engaged in navigation and fishing every week; (this King) will be revealed when the time of the Ishmaelites' power comes to an end. He will follow close [he will attach himself to] the days of 'Livas' and the second one will become first and the first one will become second.

What then is going to happen afterwards in the slaughter-fields [killing fields] in the middle of the city and upon an avenue that is paved?

During a Friday, in the third hour of the day, while three are perturbed the third becomes [or arrives] first. And it is then that the Anointed One will be made manifest; he, who is destined to become manifest [be revealed], will become manifest by means of arrows [arcs] and by signs emanating from the Lord. The King will hear the voice and the instructions by an Angel appearing to him as a man dressed in white, who is his Guardian Angel.

And while he is still asleep, the Guardian Angel will take him by the hand and will speak into his ear and say to him: "arise, you who are sleeping and rise from your grave [or from among the dead]; Christ will shine upon you; for, He is calling you to govern an excellent people [or a numerous people].

And the (Guardian) Angel will say to him further: come forth from your hiding place, do not hide yourself any longer, many are those who are looking for you [or, are searching for you, are demanding to see you, or are asking for you]; everybody will exit and only you, alone, will enter. And he (Guardian Angel) will address him for the third time and will give him stone tablets, upon which two Commandments are etched:

- to avenge [punish a crime, or to vindicate certain person(s) by taking up their cause, or to decide a case], to effect justice among the nations, and to persecute impiety; and

- to exterminate through fire [all] those engaging in acts of sodomy; and to chase the bad Sacerdotals away from the holy places and to restore the worthy ones to the Altars; by so doing, he will well please the God of Heaven and Earth.

The King has marks [to be identified with]: the nail of the big toe of his right foot has a callosity; his voice [or, his manner of speaking] is sweet; his features are prepossessing; his appearance [shape, figure, bone structure] delicate like that of a woman; he is about middle-age [or, mature in years]; he began developing a bald head and his hair began to turn gray a little; he is erudite and knows many things, he has foresight and is cognizant of the text of prophecies, which he relates to others; his nose is a little curved [aquiline nose]; the eyes are prominent. He is poor, his hair is cut short and he is dressed in very poor clothing [rags] whose purpose is merely utilitarian.

And the King will be mild in character and gentle [even-tempered] and merciful; magnanimous, formidable, brave. His right (hand) has joints of two chains; and he has two purple crosses on his two shoulders, upon the chest and also upon the neck. He also has chains [or the embroidered design of chains?] on his sides, and upon his neck, and upon his thighs and upon his arms; and the name of the King is hidden [concealed] among the nations.

And this name (of the King) is similar to the last day of the week, the seventh one. And it can be written from the first letter to the 18th letter, namely the 301st one. The King is a man of piety and pays great attention to prophecies. Men thought of him that he is a nobody and useful for nothing.

However, in the End Times, the Lord will place His hand upon the head of this King and the oil of consecration will anoint him, and consequently, he will become noted in History as the 'anointed one'; and he will march forward to fight against the Ishmaelites. And he will conquer them; because (we must know that) in those days men [the human race] will be afflicted and they will turn their faces towards the soil of the earth and will sprinkle their heads with earth [dirt] and will cry aloud towards the Lord and God of Heaven and earth; and then the Lord will hearken to their supplications and He will place His ears upon the inhabitants of the earth, and He will dispatch His Archangel in the form of a human being, and the Archangel will come to the islands.

And the Archangel will find the holy man he is looking for, the anointed one, who is unseen by the men of the world and recognized by no-one; the useful, yet useless; the pauper, yet wanting in nothing; the merciful one and recipient of mercy [or, giver and receiver of alms, or something similar to alms]; the naked one and yet dressed in fine linen; mortified in the flesh, and yet very lively and vivid in his spirit; the healthy one and at the same time the crippled one [or, suffering in his feet or legs], the leader and the first person ever to undertake a (certain) thing and (yet considered as) useful for nothing; the ignorant [or inexperienced, untrained one] and yet very erudite; the one emanating from a lowly portion and of royal progeny simultaneously, himself the son of a King and he, on his turn, the king of glory.

He has set his residence [inhabits, has settled down] at the outer edge of the City of Byzantium, close to the western gate of the city in the vicinity of the Sigma.

He was given an education ever since he was born, and the king has a name 80 figures long. [This is the best possible translation of this passage and would imply that all the letters in the words corresponding to all his Baptismal names plus his titles of nobility plus his family name, if added up would correspond to 80 distinct characters, total]. And it is from the 12th element. [This would correspond, by virtue of the 12th element of the Greek Alphabet which is ^, to the sound of L]. And the other [I assume, name of the King] is written from the first letter into the 18th letter].

And he will be made similar to the Most High God. And the name of his Father is divine [or august, i.e., having an 'imperial' title]. He has a lofty mind [he is high-minded]; he is without father, without mother and without geneology."

And the King has three articulations [joints, knuckles; possibly referring again to the callosity on the big toe of the right foot]. He has had only one woman and has had children with her, boys and girls. The names of the male and female children, respectively, begin  with the letters m, d, g, a, a, a, i [or rather the Greek transliterated equivalences of ...].

And it will become apparent that these are truly his own offspring by virtue of the birth mark of the nail in the toe of the right foot and of his right eye, which is the squinty eye of unchastity.

And the King is a holy person in the eyes of God; he has gotten olives [namely, beauty marks] on his right side, also under the breast [or, on the waist line]; and more on the shoulder, and on the thigh and on the earlobe as well as on the right eyebrow according to the measure of charity [or mercy].

He is graceful and charming and his cheeks are turning red when he blushes. He is tall in stature, he has a beard, and there is a moustache, also. He is gentle, soft-spoken [honey is pouring from his mouth], he has dark hair, his head begins to turn bald in the front, he has an elderly look, he is a victor and he carries trophies. He is a king, the very best one among all kings.

He has set up his living quarters in the place with four gates, in the cooler [or colder] portion of the SIGMA [i.e., the lower portion of the land fortifications] and in the southern part of the sea (of Marmara), and in an area without renown, muddy and miry.

He is coming out from the golden gate and the wooden one (the Xylokerkos); panta ta antakatanta, katanta nogia kremei; and his tabernacle is connected with two gates that are revolving around and axis [may imply revolving doors of some sort].

The street on the Right Hand Side is broad and paved with stones cut and carved in square shapes. There is a serpentine column flat on the ground [lying down, instead of being erect] and a fourth one representing an animal and there is also a female charioteer standing opposite his tabernacle. And an (unspecified) male [has arrived who] is holding a wreath speaking in loud voice regarding the destiny [fortune, luck] of the chosen king. Opposite his tabernacle there is a place of worship of a male god to which sacrifices and worship is being offered by the king having one belt; its name being etched.

And he brings forth [or carries] both the war and the military devices of the blond ones, and the effusion of blood in a small drinking cup placed in the earth.

Depicted on his back, the King features the king of animals [a lion, probably embroidered on his uniform], and on his chest he has the mark of his army. On the Left Hand side of his quarters there is a very narrowed street, a street-let, actually; and there is a profusion of waters and deep waters making sounds and waves beating against the steep littoral of the seven-hilled city, and a river is making loud noises as it bursts out [issues forth] from the iron steep side.

There is a (grove of) fir [or pine] trees which was planted at the time of the King's birth. There are branches and there is a nest on the branches of the tree(s) of the kind of bird that possesses a crop. In the nests there are the young ones of various types of birds and also of pigeons. There is also here a huge tower [or castle, or fortress, bulwark] and formidable fortifications. The King is being attended to [served] by a man dressed in black. He is giving and receiving mercy. And there is also a 'wolf with the name of an animal' who is providing an enchantment of some kind (possibly by playing music to the King). And the illustrious King was born in this orderly life to preserve [to safeguard] every piety and every prophecy. He (the King) has not uttered prophecies in the past and has not been used for anything, people in the past treated him with contempt and scorn, (considering him) as good as dead and useful for nothing.

God will reveal him and will make him manifest and will anoint him with oil in the End Times; this King actually has been anointed with the holy oil of God while still in his mother's womb.

And the particular manner of the king’s manifestation to the public [to the world] will take place as follows:

A star will appear [will become visible] for three days long and during the third hour of the night, on the eve of the feast day of the Mother of the Most High (it will become visible) in the middle of the City. And this star is not one among the planets, but rather (it is) of the kind that appeared during the Salvation-bringing Nativity of Christ. And a herald speaking with a very loud voice in the course of three days will summon and will unveil [reveal] the one hoped for. Then the people [i.e., the inhabitants of the City], watching (the phenomena in the heavens) and hearing the thunderous proclamation of the herald will become surprised [overwhelmed]; and having stood still with emotions of joy and fear simultaneously, they will cry aloud that they ignore the identity of the man of hope.

At that moment in time everyone (without exception) will be looking up to the heavens and ardently and for prolonged stretches of time will be praying aloud ‘Lord have Mercy’. These people (sometime in the past) had already beaten their foreheads to the ground, and sprinkled dirt upon their heads, and sighed and shed tears because of the tribulation that is coming their way. They will address to God their entreaties and He will favorably receive their supplication. And with a merciful eye He will look down upon the inhabitants of the earth; the chosen one will then become revealed for the sake [benefit] of the Elect who will be left alive at that time [for the chosen who are the Remnant at that time].

There will become visible in the sky a ‘nebulous firmament of the sun’ being in size similar to a summer-time threshing floor using 6 oxen; under that image there will be suspended a cross, and at the left hand side from the purple cross an extended arrow [arc], such as the one that was settling our affairs in eternal covenant; and since everybody ignores (the identity of) the man of hope, the arc will bend back [or reflect] at the southern portion thereof, which is becoming decomposed 9becoming undistinguished] in the vault of the heavens.

And the revealing will be brought about by showing the place of residence [the hut, the tabernacle] of the One True King; then the peoples [in plural] having given glory to God will make haste and go running in a hurry to the edge of the arc [arrow];  and having received [or having taken hold of] the valuable (precious] and aged-looking King with lit candles and palm-branches and beautiful songs they will fetch him to the Great Zion. For, they desire all pomp and circuмstance for the occasion [with many varied forms of ceremonial and formalities].

And when the One True King will eventually issue forth opposite his tabernacle between two vaults and an image [icon, form, picture] standing on a high place, the star that appeared in the heavens from the Right Hand Side of the (purple) cross will pour out and touch him on his hands and anoint him with spiritual light.

And the invisible herald from Heaven with his thunderous voice will say to the people: Is this man agreeable to you? At that moment everybody will be taken by fear and terror and ecstasy, because of the thunderous tone of the sound of the message. And afterwards, beating their breasts, with tears and sighs, raising their hands towards Heaven, they will say: ‘Yes, Lord, because it is You Who gave him, he is agreeable to us’; and having paid homage to the King they will bring him to the Great Zion.

And the King having prayed to God, and having sealed [or beaten upon] the gates, they will become opened while everybody is turning his head and watching. And those who were there [in that place] will run away filled with much fear; and having all prayed [those accompanying the King] they will elevate him on a high spot and will proclaim him (their) hereditary Monarch; afterwards, having sung hymns, they will turn around [turn back] and they will arrive to the palace by night time and the signs in the skies will fade and change.

Two Guardian Angels will also be leading the way, having the appearance of men dressed in white robes; and in his ears they will tell him what he must do in the future. And there will be many who would like to lay their hands upon him, but they will not do it, having seen the signs emanating from God and also because they are being constrained by Angels (who will be protecting the King). And they will say to themselves: ‘we heard about him that he is a good one of God. And as far as we are concerned, we are all constrained by our own chains, and we are sharing in the sins and trespasses of these famous names also, and of those who are collecting taxes along with the most impious among the priests [or, the very impious priests]’.

And consequently, many will escape to the tenebrous and ill-lit places of the earth. And everybody (namely, all the others remaining who had no reasons to escape) having given glory to God will become pacified.

And there is also another man emanating from the East, he, too, is illustrious in his deeds and favored by fortune; he also has been a poor man, and (like the Elect King) he is going from glory to glory in a lifestyle of virtue [or via a system of government based on virtue]; pious to a very high degree; his body and hair are shining; and he is carrying inside him the hope of the invisible God; he is similar to the poor King and likewise a Chosen One by God; and he also has received from Above the calling of God and has been imbued by the Light of God [the Holy Spirit].

Just for fun, I typed out the first few segments from the original text, sans the diacritics. It probably needs it because I think I broke Google Translate with this so... good thing Dr. Otto already went through the trouble to reproduce a coherent translation.
