τοῦτον τὸν τρόπον ἡ μὲν ἁγνεία τῆς γυναικὸς διασῴζεται, τοῦ δὲ ἀνδρὸς τὴν καλοκἀγαθίαν καὶ εὐσέβειαν ὁ θεὸς ἠξίωσεν ἐπιδείξασθαι γέρας αὐτῷ μέγιστον παρασχών, ἀσινῆ καὶ ἀνύβριστον ὅσον οὔπω κινδυνεύσαντα διαφθαρῆναι τὸν γάμον, ὃς οὐκ ἔμελλεν ὀλίγων ἀριθμὸν υἱῶν ἢ θυγατέρων γεννᾶν, ἀλλ’ ὅλον ἔθνος καὶ ἐθνῶν τὸ θεοφιλέστατον, ὅ μοι δοκεῖ τὴν ὑπὲρ παντὸς ἀνθρώπων γένους ἱερωσύνην καὶ προφητείαν λαχεῖν.
