Translation
The first woman and the universe's first transgression -- even though her husband Adam called her Zoe ['Life'], on the basis that she would be mother of the living.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Εὔα· ἡ πρώτη γυνὴ καὶ πρώτη τοῦ κόσμου παράβασις· εἰ καὶ ὁ Ἀδὰμ ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς Ζωὴν ταύτην κέκληκεν, ὡς ἐσομένην μητέρα τῶν ζώντων.
