Αὐτίκα γοῦν, εὐθὺ μετὰ τὸν κατακλυσμόν, ὁ Νῶε τρία καὶ ἐπιζήσας ἔτη μετὰ τῶν ἐξ αὐτοῦ γενομένων ὄχλων ἐν ὁμονοίᾳ διετέλει, τοῦ μόνου Θεοῦ κατ᾽ εἰκόνα ὑπάρξας βασιλεύς. μετὰ δὲ τὴν αὐτοῦ τελευτὴν πολλοὶ τῶν ἐξ αὐτοῦ βασιλείας ὠρέχθησαν, καὶ πρὸς τὸ βασιλεῦσαι σπεύδοντες τὸ πῶς δυνηθείη ἕκαστος ἐπενόει. καὶ ὁ μὲν πολέμῳ, ἄλλος δόλῳ, ἕτερος πειθοῖ, καὶ ἄλλος ἄλλως, ὧν εἷς τις ἀπὸ γένους ὢν Χἀμ, τοῦ ποιήσαντος Μεστρέμ, ἐξ οὗπερ τὰ Αἰγυπτίων καὶ Βαβυλωνίων καὶ Περσῶν ἐπλήθυνε φῦλα.
