Those who were coming from their homes and met them coming toward them, asking about the child's excellence, / were answered by some whose hearts were overjoyed at seeing that child: / "That beauty can be comprehended by sight, but not by a series of another's words"; / but out of joy their throats were choked in reply, and by others it could not even be heard.
Whatever adorned garments were to be worn month by month / by his son until youth, / all that was given to him after such calculation / by his father as an inexhaustible treasury.
