φησὶ γὰρ τοὺς κατασκόπους ἐλθεῖν εἰς Χεβρών, ἐκεῖ δ’ εἶναι Ἀχειμὰν καὶ Σεσεὶν καὶ Θαλαμείν, γενεὰς Ἐνάχ· εἶτ’ ἐπιφέρει· „καὶ Χεβρὼν ἑπτὰ ἔτεσιν ᾠκοδομήθη πρὸ τοῦ Τάνιν Αἰγύπτου“ (Num. 13, 23). φυσικώτατον τὸ τὰς ὁμωνυμίας εἴδεσι διαστέλλεσθαι. Χεβρὼν γὰρ ἑρμηνεύεται συζυγή· δισσὸν δὲ τοῦτο, ψυχῆς ἢ σώματι συνεζευγμένης ἢ πρὸς ἀρετὴν ἡρμοσμένης.
