Τὸ οὖν εἰρημένον ἐν τοῖς λόγοις τούτοις, ἔφην· Κατὰ γὰρ τὰς ἡμέρας τοῦ ξύλου αἱ ἡμέραι τοῦ λαοῦ μου ἔσονται, τὰ ἔργα τῶν πόνων αὐτῶν παλαιώσουσι [Is., LXV, 22], νενοήκαμεν ὅτι χίλια ἔτη ἐν μυστηρίῳ μηνύει. Ὡς γὰρ τῷ Ἀδὰμ εἴρητο, ὅτι ᾗ δ᾿ ἂν ἡμέρᾳ φάγῃ ἀπὸ τοῦ ξύλου, ἐν ἐκείνῃ ἀποθανεῖται [Gen., II, 17], ἔγνωμεν αὐτὸν μὴ ἀναπληρώσαντα χίλια ἔτη. Συνήκαμεν καὶ τὸ εἰρημένον, ὅτι Ἡμέρα κυρίου ὡς χίλια ἔτη [cf. PS., LXXXIX, 4], εἰς τοῦτο συνάγειν.
