[60] φησὶ γὰρ τοὺς κατασκόπους ἐλθεῖν εἰς Χεβρών, ἐκεῖ δ’ εἶναι Ἀχειμὰν καὶ Σεσεὶν καὶ Θαλαμείν, γενεὰς Ἐνάχ· εἶτ’ ἐπιφέρει· „καὶ Χεβρὼν ἑπτὰ ἔτεσιν ᾠκοδομήθη πρὸ τοῦ Τάνιν
Αἰγύπτου“ (Num. 13, 23). φυσικώτατον τὸ τὰς ὁμωνυμίας εἴδεσι διαστέλλεσθαι. Χεβρὼν γὰρ ἑρμηνεύεται συζυγή· δισσὸν δὲ τοῦτο, ψυχῆς ἢ σώματι συνεζευγμένης ἢ πρὸς ἀρετὴν ἡρμοσμένης.

[60] for Moses says that the spies came to Chebron, and these three are Acheman, and Jesein, and Thalamein, of the sons of Enoch: and this he adds, "and Chebron was built seven years before Janis, in Egypt," ¹ and these synonymous appellations are distinguished according to their species in a most natural manner. Chebron, being interpreted, means compunction, and this is of two kinds; one with reference to the soul being joined to the body, the other with reference to its being adapted to virtue.
