[132] ἀλγεῖν ἀναγκάζει. 36 μήτε δ’ ὁ πᾶς λόγος ὑπαντάτω μήτε πᾶσι τοῖς ἐνθυμήμασιν, ἀλλ’ ὁ τέλειος Ἀαρὼν τοῖς τοῦ τελειοτάτου Μωυσέως· ἐπεὶ τίνος ἕνεκα τῷ „ἰδοὺ Ἀαρὼν ὁ ἀδελφός σου“ προσέθηκεν „ὁ
Λευίτης“, εἰ μὴ τοῦ διδάξαι χάριν, ὅτι μόνῳ τῷ Λευίτῃ καὶ ἱερεῖ καὶ σπουδαίῳ λόγῳ προσήκει μηνύειν τὰ ἐνθυμήματα ψυχῆς τελείας ὄντα βλαστήματα;

On the Principle that the Worse is accustomed to be always plotting against the Better First1KGreek (The works of Philo Judaeus, the contemporary of Josephus, volume 1. Yonge, C. D., translator. London: Henry G. Bohn, 1854.) — 132 focus
