Ἔξεστιν τοίνυν μὴ ὄντα σπέρμα τοῦ Ἀβραάμ, τῷ πάντως διὰ τὴν κατὰ τὸν κατακλυσμὸν ἱστορίαν ἀπὸ Νῶε τοὺς ἑξῆς γεγονέναι, εἶναι σπέρμα Νῶε· εἰ δὲ τοῦτο, καὶ σπέρμα Ἑνώχ, πάντως δὲ καὶ σπέρμα Ἐνώς καὶ Σήθ· ἄδηλον δ’ ἡμῖν ἐπὶ τῶν πολλῶν κατωτέρω τοῦ Νῶε, τίς σπέρμα τοῦ Σὴμ καὶ τίς τοῦ Χὰμ καὶ τίς τοῦ Ἰάφεθ καὶ τῶν ἔτι κατωτέρω· πλὴν οὐκ ἔστιν τις μηδαμῶς μετέχων σπέρματος δικαίων.
