[143] ὃς κατά γε τὴν ἐμὴν ἔννοιαν ἦν ὁ πρὸς ἀλήθειαν ὤν, ἁρμόττον
ὑπολαβὼν εἶναι τὰ μὲν ἀγαθὰ παρὼν δι’ αὑτοῦ χαρίζεσθαι, μόναις δ’ ἐπιτρέπειν ταῖς δυνάμεσι καθ’ ὑπηρεσίαν τὰ ἐναντία χειρουργεῖν, ἵνα μόνων ἀγαθῶν αἴτιος, κακοῦ δὲ μηδενὸς προηγουμένως νομίζηται.

On the Life of the Wise Man made perfect by Instruction or, on the Unwritten Law, that is to say, on Abraham First1KGreek (The works of Philo Judaeus, the contemporary of Josephus, Volume 2. Yonge, C. D., translator. London: Henry G. Bohn, 1854.) — 143 focus
