[202] ἀλλὰ καὶ τούτῳ τριῶν γενομένων παίδων καὶ συναπολελαυκότων τῆς πατρῴας δωρεᾶς εἷς ἐτόλμησε τὸν αἴτιον τῆς σωτηρίας πατέρα κατακερτομεῖν γέλωτα καὶ χλεύην, εἴ τι παρεσφάλη
μὴ καθ’ ἑκούσιον γνώμην, τιθέμενος καὶ τοῖς μὴ εἰδόσιν ἀπογυμνῶν ἃ κρύπτειν θέμις ἐπὶ τῇ τοῦ γεννήσαντος αἰσχύνῃ. τοιγαροῦν οὐκ ὤνατο τῆς λαμπρᾶς εὐγενείας ἐπάρατος γενόμενος καὶ τοῖς μετ’ αὐτὸν ἀρχὴ κακοδαιμονίας· ὧν ἄξιον ἦν τυγχάνειν τὸν ἠμεληκότα γονέων τιμῆς.

On Three Virtues, that is to say, on Courage, Humanity, and Repentance First1KGreek (The works of Philo Judaeus, the contemporary of Josephus, volume 3. Yonge, C. D., translator. London: Henry G. Bohn, 1855.) — 202 focus

[202] This man, again, had three sons; and, though they had had their share in the blessing thus bestowed upon their father, one of them dared to turn his father, the cause of his safety, into ridicule, laughing at him, and mocking and reviling him, because of an error which he committed unintentionally, and displaying to those who did not see it what he ought to have concealed, so as to bring disgrace on him who had begotten him. ¹ Therefore, having now fallen from his brilliant nobility of birth and having become accursed, and having also become the beginning of misery to all his posterity, he suffered all those evils which it was fitting for a man to suffer who had disregarded all the honour due to his parents.
