Καὶ ὅτι οὕτω γέγονεν, ἀκούσατε. Ὑμεῖς γάρ, οἱ ἀπὸ τοῦ Σὴμ κατάγοντες τὸ γένος, ἐπήλθετε κατὰ τὴν τοῦ θεοῦ βουλὴν τῇ γῇ τῶν υἱῶν Χαναὰν καὶ διακατέσχετε αὐτήν. Καὶ ὅτι οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰάφεθ, κατὰ τὴν τοῦ θεοῦ κρίσιν ἐπελθόντες καὶ αὐτοὶ ὑμῖν, ἀφείλοντο ὑμῶν τὴν γῆν καὶ διακατέσχον αὐτήν, φαίνεται. Εἴρηται δὲ ταῦτα οὕτως· Ἐξένηψε δὲ Νῶε ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴνου, καὶ ἔγνω ὅσα ἐποίησεν αὐτῷ ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ὁ νεώτερος. Καὶ εἶπεν· Ἐπικατάρατος Χαναὰν παῖς, οἰκέτης ἔσται τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτοῦ. Καὶ εἶπεν· Εὐλογητὸς κύριος, ὁ θεὸς Σήμ, καὶ ἔσται Χαναὰν παῖς αὐτοῦ. Πλατύναι κύριος τῷ [fol. 190] Ἰάφεθ, καὶ κατοικησάτω ἐν τοῖς οἴκοις Σήμ, καὶ γενηθήτω Χαναὰν παῖς αὐτοῦ [Gen., IX, 24-27].
