[74] φασὶ δὲ οἷς ἔθος ἐρευνᾶν τὰ τοιαῦτα, πάντα θεοῦ ὅσα ἐν κτήμασιν ἠκριβῶσθαι διαφερόντως,
καὶ τὸ δένδρον καὶ τὸ χωρίον καὶ τὸν τοῦ δένδρου καρπόν· τὸ μὲν οὖν δένδρον αὐτὴν εἶναι τὴν ἄρουραν, ἀλλ’ οὐχ ὁμοίαν τοῖς βλαστάνουσιν ἀπὸ γῆς, ἀλλὰ κατὰ τὴν τοῦ θεοφιλοῦς διάνοιαν ῥιζωθεῖσαν, τὸ δὲ χωρίον τὸ φρέαρ τοῦ ὅρκου, τὸν δὲ καρπὸν τὴν τοῦ κυρίου ὀνόματος μετάληψιν εἰς θεὸν αἰώνιον.

[74] And they who are in the habit of investigating these matters say, that everything which belongs to God has been very carefully and accurately described, both tree and place, and the fruit of the tree. Accordingly, they say that the tree was the field itself, not like those trees which sprung up out of the ground, but rather to those which grow according to the firmly-rooted mind of the man who loves God: and the place, they say, is the well of the oath, and the fruit, the change of the name of the Lord into that of "The Eternal God."
