Translation
Solomon says: "the leech had 3 daughters, beloved with affection; and these 3 were not satisfied, and the 4th was not capable of saying 'enough.'" Sin [is called] a leech. Her daughter[s] [are] fornication, envy, idolatry, which are not satisfied through their weird practices. The fourth [is] wicked desire.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Βδέλλα· ὁ Σολομών φησι· τῇ βδέλλῃ ἦσαν γʹ θυγατέρες ἀγαπήσει ἀγαπώμεναι· καὶ αἱ γʹ αὗται οὐκ ἐνεπίμπλαντο, καὶ ἡ δʹ οὐκ ἠρκέσθη εἰπεῖν ἱκανή. βδέλλα ἡ ἁμαρτία. θυγάτηρ αὐτῆς πορνεία, φθόνος, εἰδωλολατρία, αἳ οὐκ ἐμπίπλανται διὰ τῶν ἀτόπων πράξεων. ἡ δʹ ἡ πονηρὰ ἐπιθυμία.
