The Oath of Cirion was taken by Cirion, the twelfth of the Stewards of Gondor, after ceding the lands of Calenardhon to the Éothéod or the Rohirrim. After hearing Eorl the Young speak the Oath of Eorl, Cirion spoke the following in Quenya and then in the Common Tongue while standing atop Amon Anwar:

“Vanda sina termaruva Elenna-nóreo alcar enyalien ar Elendil Vorondo voronwë. Nai tiruvantes i harar mahalmassen mi Númen ar i Eru i or ilyë mahalmatar eä tennoio.”

“ This oath shall stand in memory of the glory of the Land of the Star, and of the faith of Elendil the Faithful, in the keeping of those who sit upon the thrones of the West and of the One who is above all thrones forever.”
