Enoch, Enoch begat Methuselah, Methuselah begat Lamech, Lamech begat Noah, and a flood occurred, not in allegory but in truth, 59.2 and every soul perished, but «eight souls» of men remained. If you hear 'souls' again, do not think they did not have bodies. For the whole man is called by one part. «Jacob went down,» for scripture says, «into Egypt with seventy-five souls,» not that the souls went without bodies, but with bodies; therefore it called the whole man 'souls.' And «we were in the ship about eighty souls,» says 59.3 Luke, who wrote the Acts of the Apostles. And custom is wont to call slaves 'bodies.' He is a master, it is said, of a hundred bodies; but they also have souls. But since the mastery of men holds sway over bodies but not souls, for this reason they reasonably called slaves 'bodies' with souls, in order to show the use 59.4 of the bodies. And Noah came out of the ark, having begotten Shem, Ham, Japheth. And Shem begat Arphaxad, Arphaxad begat Cainan, Cainan begat Sala, Sala begat Eber, Eber begat Peleg, Peleg begat Reu, Reu begat Serug, Serug begat Nahor, Nahorbegat Terah, Terah begat Abraham, Abraham begat Isaac, Isaac begat JacoJacob begat Judah, Judah begat Perez, Perez begat Hezron, Hezronbegat Ram, Ram begat Amminadab, Amminadab begat Nahshon, Nahshonbegat Salmon, Salmon begat Boaz, Boaz begat Obed by Ruth, Obed begat Jesse, Jesse begat David the king, David begat Solomon by the wife of Uriah, Solomon begat Rehoboam, Rehoboam begat Abijah,Abijah begat Asa, Asa begat Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat begat Joram, Jobegat Ahaziah, Ahaziah begat Joash, Joash begat Amaziah, Amaziah begatUzziah, who was called Azariah, Uzziah begat Jotham, Jotham begat AhAhaz begat Hezekiah, Hezekiah begat Manasseh, Manasseh begat Amon, Amonbegat Josiah, Josiah begat Jechoniah, Jechoniah again begat Shealtiel Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel, Zerubbabel begat Abiud, Abiud begat Eliakim, Eliakim begat Azor, Azor begat Zadok, Zadok begat AchimAchim begat Eliud, Eliud begat Eleazar, Eleazar begat MatthaMatthias begat Jacob, Jacob begat Joseph 60.1 Joseph, being an old man and a widower after taking a first wife and having by her four sons, James called the brother of the Lord because he was brought up with him, and Simon and Jude and Joses, and two daughters, † Anna and60.2 Salome, this Joseph, being an old man and a widower, by necessity when lots were cast upon widowers and unmarried men of each tribe for the virgins from the temple—because the firstborn children, both male and female, were dedicated in the temple—received by lot the holy virgin Mary, «of whom» according to the flesh «was born» our Lord Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit, not from the seed 60.3 of a man nor by union of the body. The Lord therefore is born of the tribe of Judah, of the seed of David and Abraham according to the flesh, being God, in the forty-second year of the reign of Augustus. 60.4 But Augustus reigned fifty-six years and six months; and after him his son Tiberius succeeded to the rule for years ˉκˉγ; after Tiberius, Gaius for three years and months ˉθ and days ˉκˉβ; after Gaius, Claudius for years ˉιˉγ; after Claudius, Nero for years ˉιˉγ; after Nero, Vespasian for years ˉθ; after Vespasian, Titus his son for years ˉβ; after Titus, Domitian his brother for years ˉˉιˉˉε and months ˉε; after Domitian, Nerva for year ˉα months ˉδ; after Nerva, Trajan for years ˉιˉθ; after Trajan, Hadrian for years ˉκˉα; after Hadrian, Antoninus Pius for years ˉκˉβ; after Antoninus, Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, also called Verus, for years ˉιˉθ; Commodus for years ˉιˉγ; Pertinax for months ˉϛ; Severus for years ˉιˉη; Antoninus his son for years ˉζ; Macrinus for one year
