οὗτος ὁ ἰωσὴφ γέρων ὢν καὶ χῆρος κατὰ ἀνάγκην τῶν κλήρων βαλλομένων ἐπὶ χήρους καὶ ἀγάμους καθ' ἑκάστην φυλὴν εἰς τὰς ἀπὸ ναοῦ παρθένους διὰ τὸ ἀφιεροῦσθαι ἐν τῷ ναῶ τοὺς πρωτοτόκους παῖδας, ἄρρενάς τε καὶ θηλείας) ἔλαβε κατὰ κλῆρον τὴν ἁγίαν παρθένον Μαρίαν, »ἐξ ἡς« κατὰ σάρκα »ἐγεννήθη« ὁ κύριος ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦς Χριστὸς διὰ πνεύματος ἁγίου, οὐκ ἀπὸ σπέρματος ἀνδρὸς οὔτε συναφείᾳ σώματος.
