[78] τόπος δ’ ἐστὶν οἰκειότατος τῷ φυτῷ τὸ φρέαρ, ὃ κέκληται ὅρκος, ἐν ᾧ κατέχει λόγος μὴ ἀνευρεθῆναι ὕδωρ· „παραγενόμενοι“ γάρ φησιν „οἱ παῖδες Ἰσαὰκ ἀπήγγειλαν αὐτῷ περὶ τοῦ φρέατος οὗ ὤρυξαν, καὶ εἶπον· οὐχ εὕρομεν ὕδωρ, καὶ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτὸ ὅρκος“ (Gen. 26, 32. 33).
τοῦτο δὲ ἣν ἔχει δύναμιν θεασώμεθα·
