[196] ταύτῃ ὁ ἱερὸς λόγος τῇ πηγῇ προσφυέστατα ὀνόματα τίθεται, „κρίσιν“ αὐτὴν καὶ „ἁγίαν“ προσαγορεύων. „ἀναστρέψαντες“ γάρ φησιν "ἦλθον ἐπὶ τὴν πηγὴν τῆς κρίσεως, αὕτη ἐστὶ Κάδης“ (Gen. 14,7)· καλεῖται

For says the historian, "Having turned back, they came to the fountain of judgment; this is the fountain of Caddes," ¹ and the interpretation of the name Caddes is holy. It all but cries out and shouts that the wisdom of God is holy, bringing with it nothing of the earth, and that it is the judgment of the universe by which all contrarieties are separated from one another.
