[201] ὅταν δὲ τὸν θεὸν ὁρᾶν ἱκανὸς εἶναι δόξας Ἰσραὴλ μετονομασθῇ, μόνῳ χρήσεται τῷ ἑβδομηκοστῷ λόγῳ, p. 468 M. τὴν πεντάδα τῶν αἰσθήσεων ἐκτεμών· λέγεται γὰρ ὅτι „ἐν ἑβδομήκοντα
ψυχαῖς κατέβησαν οἱ πατέρες σου εἰς Αἴγυπτον“ (Deut. 10,22). ¹² οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ ἀριθμὸς Μωυσέως τοῦ σοφοῦ γνώριμος· τοὺς γὰρ ἀριστίνδην ἐκ παντὸς τοῦ πλήθους ἐπιλελεγμένους ἑβδομήκοντα εἶναι συμβέβηκε καὶ πρεσβυτέρους ἅπαντας, οὐχ ἡλικίαις ἀλλὰ φρονήσει καὶ βουλαῖς, γνώμαις τε καὶ ἀρχαιοτρόποις ζηλώσεσιν.

[201] But when he appeared to have gained ability to behold God, his name was changed to Israel, and ¹² then he uses only the computation of seventy, having extirpated the number five, the number of the outward senses; for it is said, that "thy fathers went down to Egypt, being seventy souls." ³ This is the number which is familiar to Moses the wise man: for it happened that those who were selected as carefully picked men out of the whole multitude, were seventy in number; and those all elders, not only in point of age, but also in wisdom and counsel, and in prudence, and in ancient integrity of manners.
