[204] θέμις γὰρ οὐδὲν ἀγνοεῖν τῶν καθ’ ἡμᾶς ἀγγέλῳ. σημεῖον δέ· καὶ τὰ κατὰ γαστρός, ἅπερ ἄδηλα γενέσει, σαφῶς οἶδεν ἐν οἷς φησιν· "ἰδοὺ σὺ
ἐν γαστρὶ ἔχεις, καὶ τέξῃ παιδίον, καὶ καλέσεις τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰσμαήλ“ ¹² (ibid. 11). τὸ γὰρ γνῶναι, ὅτι τὸ κυοφορούμενον ἄρρεν ἐστίν, οὐκ ἀνθρωπίνης δυνάμεως, ἀλλ’ οὐδὲ τὸ τὴν προαίρεσιν ᾗ χρήσεται τοῦ βίου ὁ μήπω γεγενημένος, ὅτι ἀγροῖκος, ἀλλ’ οὐ πολιτικὴ καὶ ἥμερος.

[204] that he is well acquainted even with the things which are in the womb, and which are invisible to the creature, inasmuch as he says, "Behold thou art with child, and thou shalt bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael;" for to know that that which is conceived is a male child does not belong to human power, any more than it does to foretell the description of life which the child who is not yet born will adopt, namely, that it will be rude life, and not that of a citizen or of a polished man.
