[68] ἐγένετό τις κατ’ ἀρχὰς εὐθύς, ὅτ’ οὔπω τὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων γένος ἐπλήθυνεν, ἀδελφοκτόνος. οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ πρῶτος ἐναγής, ὁ πρῶτος καθαρευούσῃ τῇ γῇ μίασμα προσβαλὼν
ἄηθες ἀνθρωπείου αἵματος, ὁ πρῶτος ἀνιεῖσαν καὶ βλαστάνουσαν γένη ζῴων καὶ φυτῶν καὶ οἷς εὐτοκεῖ πᾶσι τεθηλυῖαν τῆς εὐτοκίας ἐπισχών, ὁ πρῶτος φθορὰν γενέσει καὶ θάνατον ζωῇ καὶ πένθος χαρᾷ καὶ κακὰ ἀγαθοῖς ἐπιτειχίσας.

[68] Now there was at the very beginning of the world when the race of men had not as yet multiplied, a fratricide: this is the first man who ever was under a curse; the first man who imprinted on the pure earth the unprecedented pollution of human blood; the first man who checked the fertility of the earth which was previously blooming, and producing all kinds of animals, and plants, and flourishing with every kind of productiveness; the first man who introduced destruction as a rival against creation, death against life, sorrow against joy, and evil against good.
