τὸ τελευταῖον ἐξ ἀκροβυστίας προφήτην ἐπελέξατο Ἐλωεὶμ τὸν ‘Ηρακλέα καὶ ὲ́πεμψεν, ἵνα τοὺς δώδεκα ἀγγέλους τῆς τῆς ᾿Εδὲμ καταγωνίσηται καὶ ἐλευθερώσῃ τὸν πατέρα ἀπὸ τῶν δώδεκα ἀγγέλων τῆς κτίσεως τῶν πονηρῶν. ταῦτά ἐστι τὰ δώδεκα ἆθλα τοῦ Ἡρακλέους ἄ κατηγωνίσατο ὁ Ἡρακλῆς τῇ τάξει, ἀπὸ τοῦ πρώτου ἐ̔ως ἐσχάτου, λέοντα καὶ ὕδραν καὶ κάπρον καὶ τὰ ἐξῆς·
