οἱ γὰρ ἀμφοτέρων τῶν ἐθνῶν πρόγονοι, τοῦ τε Ἑβραϊκοῦ καὶ τοῦ τὰ προάστεια κατοικοῦντος, ἀδελφοὶ δύο ἦσαν ὁμοπάτριοι καὶ ὁμομήτριοι, πρὸς δὲ καὶ δίδυμοι, ἀφ’ ὧν εἰς πολυπαιδίαν ἐπιδιδόντων καὶ τῶν ἀπογόνων εὐφορίᾳ τινὶ χρωμένων εἰς μέγα καὶ πολυάνθρωπον ἔθνος ἑκατέρα τῶν οἰκιῶν ἀνεχύθη· ἀλλ’ ἡ μὲν ἐφιλοχώρησεν, ἡ δ’, ὡς ἐλέχθη πρότερον, εἰς Αἴγυπτον μεταναστᾶσα διὰ λιμὸν χρόνοις ὕστερον ἐπανῄει.
