[141] „ἔτεκον γὰρ υἱόν“, οὐχ ὡς γυναῖκες Αἰγύπτιαι κατὰ τὴν τοῦ σώματος ἀκμήν (Exod. 1, 19), ἀλλ’ ὡς αἱ Ἑβραῖαι ψυχαί, „ἐν τῷ γήρᾳ μου“ (Gen.
21, 7), ὅτε τὰ μὲν ὅσα αἰσθητὰ καὶ θνητὰ μεμάρανται, τὰ δὲ νοητὰ καὶ ἀθάνατα ἀνήβηκεν, ἃ γέρως καὶ τιμῆς ἐστιν ἐπάξια.

[141] for "I have brought forth a son," not like the Egyptian women, in the flower of my age and in the height of my bodily vigour, but like the Hebrew souls, "in my old age," ¹ when all the objects of the outward senses and all mortal things are faded, and when the objects of the intellect and immortal things are in their full vigour and worthy of all estimation and honour.
