καὶ τὸ ῥητὸν μέντοι συνᾴδειν ἔοικεν· ὁ γὰρ Σὴμ ὡσανεὶ ῥίζα κλλοκἀγαθίας ὑποβέβληται, δένδρον δ’ ἡμροτοκοῦν ἐκ ταύτης ὁ σοφὸς Ἀβραὰμ ἀνέδραμεν, οὗ τὸ αὐτήκοον καὶ αὐτομαθὲς γένος, Ἰσαάκ, ὁ καρπὸς ἦν, ἀφ’ οὗ πάλιν αἱ διὰ πόνων ἀρεταὶ κατασπείρονται, ὧν ἀθλητῆής ἐστιν ὁ τὴν πρὸς πάθη πάλην γεγυμνασμένος Ἰακώβ, ἀγγέλοις ἀλείπταις, λόγοις, χρώμενος.
