[53] τίνος; καινοτάτης καὶ παρηλλαγμένης, ᾗ θνητὸς οὐδεὶς ὑπηρετῆσαι δυνατός, ἀφ’ ἧς σχεδὸν ὥσπερ ἀπ’ ὠκεανοῦ ῥέουσιν αἱ ἄφθονοι καὶ ἀέναοι
πλημμυροῦσαι καὶ ἀναχεόμεναι τῶν καλῶν πηγαί. τὸν γὰρ κύριον καὶ θεὸν τοῦ τε κόσμου καὶ τῶν ἐν αὐτῷ πάντων ἰδίᾳ θεὸν κατ’ ἐξαίρετον χάριν τοῦ Σὴμ ἀνακαλεῖ.

Surely of some new and extraordinary benediction, which no mortal is able to act up to, and from which, almost as from the ocean itself, abundant and unceasing springs of good things do gush out ever rising high and overflowing; for he calls the Lord and God of the world and of all the things in it, by a particular grace, the private especial God of Shem.
