ιϛʹ. Μαλαχίας. Οὗτος μετὰ τὴν ἐπιστροφὴν τίκτεται ἐν Σωφᾷ καὶ ἔτι πάνυ νέος καλὸν βίον ἔσχηκε. Καὶ ἐπειδὴ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἐτίμα αὐτὸν ὡς ὅσιον καὶ πρᾷον, ἐκάλεσεν αὐτὸν Μαλαχί, ὃ ἑρμηνεύεται ἄγγελος· ἦν γὰρ καὶ τῷ ἰδεῖν εὐπρεπής. Ἀλλὰ καὶ ὅσα εἶπεν αὐτὸς ἐν προφητείᾳ, αὐτῇ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ὀφθεὶς ἄγγελος θεοῦ ἐπεδευτέρωσεν, ὡς ἐγένετο ἐν ἡμέραις ἀναρχίας ὡς γέγραπται ἐν Σφαρφωτίμ, τουτέστιν ἐν βίβλῳ κριτῶν. Καὶ ἔτι νέος προσετέθη πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας αὐτοῦ ἐν ἀγρῷ αὐτοῦ.
