[189] τέλειοι δ’ οἱ λεχθέντες ἀριθμοί, καὶ μάλιστα κατὰ τὰς ἱερωτάτας ἀναγραφάς. ἴδωμεν δ’ αὐτῶν ἑκάτερον·
¹² Σὴμ εὐθέως μέν, ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ δικαίου Νῶε, πρόγονος δὲ τοῦ ὁρατικοῦ γένους, „ἑκατὸν ἐτῶν εἶναι λέγεται, ἡνίκα ἐγέννησε τὸν Ἀρφαξάτ“ (Gen. 11,10), ὃς ἑρμηνεύεται συνετάραξε ταλαιπωρίαν· καλόν γε ἔγγονον ψυχῆς κλονεῖν καὶ συγχεῖν καὶ διαφθείρειν τὴν ταλαίπωρον καὶ γέμουσαν
κακῶν ἀδικίαν.

[189] But the aforesaid numbers are perfect, and especially according to the sacred scriptures. And let us consider each of them: now first of all there is the son of the just Noah and the ancestor of the seeing race, and he is said to have been a hundred years old when he begot Arphaxad, ¹ and the meaning of the name Arphaxad is, "he disturbed sorrow." At all events it is a good thing that the offspring of the soul should confuse, and disorder, and destroy that miserable thing iniquity, so full of evils.
