Δευτέραν δ’ ἔλαχε τάξιν μετὰ τὴν ἐλπίδα ἡ ἐπὶ τοῖς ἁμαρτανομένοις μετάνοια καὶ βελτίωσις· ὅθεν ἑξῆς ἀναγράφει τὸν ἀπὸ χείρονος βίου πρὸς τὸν ἀμείνω μεταβαλόντα, ὃς καλεῖται παρὰ μὲν Ἑβραίοις Ἐνώχ, ὡς δ’ ἂν Ἕλληνες εἴποιεν „κεχαρισμένος“, ἐφ’ οὗ καὶ ταυτὶ λέλεκται, ὡς ἄρα „εὐηρέστησεν Ἐνὼχ τῷ θεῷ καὶ οὐχ ηὑρίσκετο, ὅτι μετέθηκεν αὐτὸν ὁ θεός“ (Gen. 5, 24).
