[71] 14 „Λαβοῦσα“ οὖν φησι „Σάρρα ἡ γυνὴ Ἀβραὰμ Ἄγαρ τὴν
Αἰγυπτίαν, τὴν ἑαυτῆς παιδίσκην, μετὰ δέκα ἔτη τοῦ οἰκῆσαι Ἀβραὰμ ἐν γῇ Χαναάν, ἔδωκε τῷ Ἀβραὰμ τῷ ἀνδρὶ αὐτῆς αὐτῷ γυναῖκα“ (Gen. 16,3). βάσκανον μὲν καὶ πικρὸν καὶ κακόηθες φύσει κακία, ἥμερον δὲ καὶ κοινωνικὸν καὶ εὐμενὲς ἀρετή, πάντα τρόπον τοὺς εὐφυῶς ἔχοντας ὠφελεῖν ἢ δι’ αὐτῆς ἢ δι’ ἑτέρων ἐθέλουσα.

Therefore, continues the sacred historian, Sarah, the wife of Abraham, having taken Hagar, the Egyptian woman, her own handmaiden, ten years after Abraham had begun to ¹ dwell in the land of Canaan, gave her to Abraham her "husband, to be his wife." ² Wickedness is by nature an envious, and bitter, and evil-disposed thing, but virtue is gentle, and inclined to communion, and friendly; wishing in every possible manner to benefit those who are well disposed, either by its own power or by the means of others.
