[44] καὶ Ναχὼρ μέντοι, ὁ ἀδελφὸς Ἀβραάμ, ἔχει δύο γυναῖκας, ἀστήν τε καὶ παλλακήν· ὄνομα δὲ τῆς μὲν ἀστῆς Μελχά, Ῥουμὰ δὲ τῆς παλλακίδος (Gen. 22,23.24). ἀλλ’ οὐχ ἱστορικὴ γενεαλογία ταῦτ’ ἐστὶν ἀναγραφεῖσα παρὰ τῷ σοφῷ νομοθέτῃ — μηδεὶς τοῦτ’
εὖ φρονῶν ὑπονοήσειεν —, ἀλλὰ πραγμάτων ψυχὴν ὠφελῆσαι ¹ δυναμένων διὰ συμβόλων ἀνάπτυξις. τὰ δ’ ὀνόματα μεταβαλόντες εἰς τὴν ἡμετέραν διάλεκτον εἰσόμεθα τὴν ὑπόσχεσιν ἀληθῆ. Φέρ’ οὖν ἕκαστον αὐτῶν ἐρευνήσωμεν.

[44] But let no one who is in his senses suspect that the wise legislator recorded this as a historical genealogy, but it is rather an explanation of things which are able to benefit the soul by means of symbols. And when we have translated the names into our own language, we shall understand the real meanings intended to be conveyed by them. Come, then, let us now investigate each of them.
