11 Marc | is plain, therefore, as I said, that in the case of the
12 Theoph | Virginity.~And then, she said, Theophila spoke:-Since
13 Theoph | being formed; for it is said, "Increase and multiply."3
14 Theoph | from his bones is, as I said, fashioned into another
15 Theoph | this reason that a man is said to leave his father and
16 Theoph | seemed evil to God, as you said, for what reason will those
17 Theoph | Marcella, interrupting, said, "O Theophila, there appears
18 Theoph | contrary to what you have said; and do you think to escape
19 Theoph | the will of God; for you said that it was impossible that
20 Theoph | circular." "I imagine it," said Marcella. "Well, then, suppose
21 Theoph | this also be supposed," she said. "And that each one of those
22 Theoph | the Supreme Artist, as I said, making by His creative
23 Theoph | had thus spoken, Theopatra said that applause arose from

28 Thal | he might not again, as I said, be overflowed and swallowed

37 Thal | And now enough has been said on these subjects.~Let any
38 Thal | then consider what we have said, comparing them together,
39 Thal | mention the rest of what was said in order, going through
40 Thal | the earth, Theopatra, she said, followed her in order,
41 Theop | the soul, as those have said who are learned in these
42 Theop | Spirit witnesses. For this is said in the hundred and thirty-sixth63
43 Theop | Isaiah the righteous are said to "spring up as willows
44 Theop | meaning by Jerusalem, as I said, these very undefiled and
45 Theop | I receive the gift," she said that Arete replied, "and
46 Theop | each one of you." And she said that Thallousa, pausing
47 Thall | the law, they alone were said to fulfil a great vow who

49 Thall | unmarried woman," it is said,9 "careth for the things

51 Thall | And when Thallousa had said this, Theopatra said that
52 Thall | had said this, Theopatra said that Arete touched Agathe
53 Agathe | the Only-begotten, as I said, it has an unsurpassable
54 Agathe | Different Result.~Now when it is said5 that "the kingdom of heaven
55 Agathe | called ten, since, as I have said, they chose the same profession;
56 Agathe | confirmed. And as Thallousa said that there is a chastity
57 Agathe | which was made when it was said,13 "Behold the bridegroom

59 Procil | which are necessary, why He said that the queens were sixty,
60 Procil | their having been born, as I said, immediately after the six
61 Procil | heard not. For "blessed," said our Lord to His disciples,20 "
62 Procil | King desired,23 is, as I said, the undefiled and blessed
63 Procil | having thus spoken, Thekla said, It is my turn after her
64 Thekla | children of the wise have said that our life is a festival,
65 Thekla | have left the world, it is said that the angels meet them
66 Thekla | and reply to what we have said: "But how, O virgins, can
67 Thekla | explaining what we have said. Consider if the passage
68 Thekla | that the Church is here said to give birth to a male;
69 Thekla | According to which meaning it is said in a certain scripture,24 "
70 Thekla | correspondence with what has been said, seems to be this which
71 Thekla | hence the Church is fitly said to form and beget the male
72 Thekla | and stings which he was said to have upon his heads are
73 Thekla | and their wise men said that nothing earth-born
74 Thekla | What, then, would you have said, if you had listened to
75 Thekla | these things, Theopatra said that Arete directed Tusiane
76 Thekla | smiling, passed before her and said.~
77 Tusiane | Lord, of which the things said in Leviticus are symbols
78 Tusiane | And let these things be said for the sake of example,
79 Tusiane | listened to that which has been said; that "they that have wives
80 Tusiane | Arete looked at her and said, Come, my daughter, do thou
81 Tusiane | she had prayed, Theopatra said that suddenly courage came
82 Tusiane | confidence possessed her, and she said:-~
83 Domn | king over them; and they said unto the olive-tree, Reign
84 Domn | over us. But the olive-tree said unto them, Should I leave
85 Domn | the trees? And the trees said to the fig-tree, Come thou,
86 Domn | over us. But the fig-tree said unto them, Should I forsake
87 Domn | promoted over the trees? Then said the trees unto the vine,
88 Domn | reign over us. And the vine said unto them, Should I leave
89 Domn | promoted over the trees? Then said all the trees unto the bramble,
90 Domn | over us. And the bramble said unto the trees, If in truth
91 Domn | that these things are not said of trees growing out of

94 Domn | Vines.~The fig-tree, as I said, from the sweetness and
95 Domn | wakened out of his sleep, and said unto me, What seest thou?
96 Domn | What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold
97 Domn | the angel answered and said: "These are the two sons

101 Arete | Theopatra said that Arete having said these things, commanded
102 Arete | when they had stood up, she said that Thekla, standing in
