At the beginning of his talk, The Vanishing of Greed, Hatred, and Delusion, Ajahn Viradhammo reads verses about Nibbana from a translation by Nyanatiloka of a fragment of the Pali Canon, from the Asaṅkhata Saṃyutta I suppose:

This, Oh monks, is called the Unconditioned: the vanishing of greed, hatred, and delusion.
This Oh monks, is called the Boundless: the vanishing of greed, hatred, and delusion.
This Oh monks, is called Freedom from [?]: the vanishing of greed, hatred, and delusion.
This Oh monks, is called the True: ...
This Oh monks, is called the Further Shore: ...
This Oh monks, is called the Subtle: ...
This Oh monks, is called the [?]: ...
This Oh monks, is called the Ageless: ...
This Oh monks, is called the Permanent: ...
This Oh monks, is called the Beyond of All Manifoldness: ...
This Oh monks, is called the Peace: ...
This Oh monks, is called the Deathless: ...
This Oh monks, is called the Sublime: ...
This Oh monks, is called the Auspicious: ...
This Oh monks, is called the [?]: ...
This Oh monks, is called the Wondrous: ...
This Oh monks, is called the Sorrowless: ...
.. etc...

Is anyone aware of such a translation by Nyanatiloka being available on line ?

Thank you for having taken the time to read this, your kind and generous help is very much appreciated.

Ajahn Viradhammo

    @beginner I don't think those contain the quoted text (but if they did it would be better to post it as a answer than as a comment, maybe with a page number too). – ChrisW Sep 13 '17 at 08:58
