ἔτι δὴ πλανώμενος ὁ Ναιμὰν καὶ οὐχ ὁρῶν ὅσον ἀπολείπονται οἱ ἕτεροι τοῦ Ἰορδάνου ποταμοὶ πρὸς θεραπείαν τῶν πεπονθότων, ἐπαινεῖ τοὺς τῆς Δαμασκοῦ ποταμόυς, Ἀβανὰ καὶ Φαρφά, λέγων· »Οὐχὶ ἀγαθὸς Ἀβανὰ καὶ Φαρφά, »ποταμοὶ Δαμασκοῦ , ὑπὲρ πάντα τὰ ὔδατα Ἰσραήλ; οὐχὶ πορευθεὶς λούσομαι ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ καθαρισθήσομαι;« ὥσπερ γὰρ οὐδεὶς ἀγαθὸς εἰ μὴ εἷς ὁ θεὸς ὁ πατήρ, οὕτως ἐν ποταμοῖς οὐδεὶς ἀγαθὸς εἰ μὴ ὁ Ἰορδάνης καὶ λέπρας ἀναλλάξαι δυνάμενος τὸν μετὰ πίστεως τὴν ψυχὴν λουόμενον εἰς τὸν Ἰησοῦν.
