[68] τὰς θυγατέρας, εἰπέ μοι, — τέχναι δέ εἰσι καὶ ἐπιστῆμαι ψυχῆς — θυγατέρας σαυτοῦ λέγεις εἶναι; τίνα τρόπον; οὐ πρῶτον μὲν παρὰ τοῦ διδάξαντος αὐτὰς νοῦ παραλαβὼν ἔχεις; εἶτα καὶ πέφυκας ἀποβάλλειν, ὥσπερ ἄλλ’ ἄττα,
¹ καὶ ταύτας ἢ διὰ μέγεθος ἑτέρων φροντίδων ἐκλαθόμενος ἢ διὰ χαλεπὰς καὶ ἀνηκέστους ἀρρωστίας σώματος ἢ διὰ τὴν ὡρισμένην τοῖς πρεσβύταις ἀθεράπευτον νόσον γῆρας ἢ δι’ ἄλλα μυρία, ὧν ἀριθμὸν ἄπορον εὑρεῖν. τί δέ;

On the Cherubim; and on the Flaming Sword; and on the First-Born Child of Man, Cain First1KGreek (The works of Philo Judaeus, the contemporary of Josephus, Volume 1. Yonge, C. D., translator. London: Henry G. Bohn, 1854.) — 68 focus

[68] Your daughters now, tell me—and they are the arts and sciences of the soul—do you say that your daughters are your own property? How so? In the first place did you not receive them from the mind which taught them? in the second place it is naturally possible for you to lose these also, as you might lose anything else, either forgetting them through the greatness of your other cares, or through severe and lasting sicknesses of body, or because of the incurable disease which is at all events destined for those who grow old, namely old age, or through ten thousand other accidents, the number of which it is impossible to calculate.
