[40] 8 Τίς δὲ ἡ Μασὲκ καὶ τίς αὐτῆς ὁ υἱός, οὐ παρέργως ἐπισκεπτέον.
ἑρμηνεύεται τοίνυν Μασὲκ ἐκ φιλήματος. φίλημα δὲ διαφέρει τοῦ φιλεῖν· τὸ μὲν γὰρ ψυχῶν ἕνωσιν ἁρμοζομένων εὐνοίᾳ, τὸ δὲ ἐπιπόλαιον καὶ ψιλὴν δεξίωσιν χρείας τινὸς εἰς ταὐτὸ συναγαγούσης ἔοικεν ἐμφαίνειν.

But who Meshech is, and who her son is, must be examined in no superficial manner. Now the interpretation of the name Meshech is, "out of a kiss;" but a kiss differs from loving; for the one exhibits usually a discovery of souls united together by good-will, but the other intimates only a bare and superficial salutation when some necessity has brought the two parties to the same place.
