χρὴ τοίνυν εἰδέναι ὅτι τῶν λεχθέντων ἕκαστον ὀνομάτων ἑρμηνευθὲν διπλοῦν ἐστιν. ἑρμηνεύεται δ’ ὁ μὲν Ἐνώχ, καθάπερ εἶπον, χάρις σου, Μαθουσάλα δ’ ἐξαποστολὴ θανάτου, ὁ δ’ αὖ Λάμεχ ταπείνωσις. τὸ μὲν οὖν „χάρις σου“ λέγεται μὲν πρὸς τὸν ἐν ἡμῖν νοῦν ὑπ’ ἐνίων, λέγεται δὲ καὶ πρὸς τὸν τῶν ὅλων ὑπὸ τῶν ἀμεινόνων.
