Καὶ ἄλλως· Ἀνήρ τις τῶν πατραδελφῶν ἐξ Ἀδὰμ τοῦ Λάμεχ νεανίσκος γονεῖς αὐτοῦ ἦν καταδυναστεύων καὶ ἐν θυμῷ δεινῶς διαπληκτιζόμενος· διεκδικῆσαι δὲ θέλων Λάμεχ τὸν ἴδιον καθάπερ Μωϋσῆς τὸν ὁμόφυλον Ἰσραηλίτην—τὸ γὰρ φονεῦσαι τὸν Αἰγύπτιον καὶ χῶσαι αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ ἄμμῳ τῆς Ἐρυθρᾶς διαβάσεως τεκμήριον ἦν καθ' ὃ ἔμελλον οἱ Αἰγύπτιοι δι' αὐτοῦ δυνάμει κυρίου ἐν τῇ Ἐρυθρᾷ πνιγμῷ ὑδάτων κατακεχῶσθαι—τείνας οὖν τὸ τόξον εἰς ἀναίρεσιν τοῦ ἐναντίου, τοὺς δύο ἄμφω καὶ ἀκόντως ἀπέκτεινεν. Ὁ δὲ ἀρχιερεὺς μάρτυς Ἱππόλυτος τοῦτο μᾶλλον σαφέστερον διηγεῖται ὡς ὅτι ὁ Λάμεχ ἀσθενεῖς ἔχων τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ἀμυδρῶς πως ἦν ἐ<μ>βλέπων
