Duration of Job's Life and Resurrection
he lived for another yearsyears of the previous prosperity that occurred, the double duration of the later good deeds yearsing also the numbers years of the plague, numbers years are added, so that after the plague, he lived years as recordedepayment of his prosperity is preserved. Therefore, calculate as follows: he lived in wealth and good upbringing for yearsne and the body's affliction, numbers years. In the second period of good deeds, yearspan of his life numbers years, as the sacred book states.
Job died aged and full of days. It is written that he will be raised with those whom the Lord raises. Akylas and Symmachus, having come together, read the book, following the Hebrew text. Theodotio concludes theither time nor life. It is also written that he will be raised with those whom the Lord raises, clearly the righteous. For the wicked, he says, will not be raised in judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. We accept these words, even if not as the entire fabric of the text, but as something woven by the holy ones into the book. Nevertheless, we accept all, having received the book from the fathers.
This is interpreted from the Syriac book. Syriac is now the Hebrew dialect, since Syria is called Judean, and many Palestinians refer to Syriacs as such. Herodotus the historian notes: Indoi, Egyptians, Arabs, and Syriacs in Palestine are circumcised. They call the Jews thus.

390 ἔζησεν ἕτερα ρν ʹ· τῶν γὰρ τῆς προτέρας εὐημερίας οηʹ ἐτῶν τυγχανόντων, ὁ διπλοῦς χρόνος τῆς ὕστερον εὐπραγίας ρν ʹ ἔτη συ νάγει· προτιθεμένων δὲ καὶ τῶν ιδʹ ἐτῶν τῆς πληγῆς, συνάγονται ἔτη ροʹ, καὶ οὕτως εὑρίσκεται ζήσας, μετὰ τὴν πληγὴν, του τέστιν ἀφ' οὗ ἡ πληγὴ ἐνήνεκται, ἔτη ροʹ κατὰ τὴν γραφήν. Σώζεται δὲ οὕτω καὶ ἡ διπλασίων τῆς εὐθηνίας ἀνταπόδοσις. Συ νελὼν τοίνυν, ἀριθμήσεις οὕτως· ἔζησεν ἐν πλούτῳ καὶ εὐπαιδίᾳ ἔτη οηʹ· ἐν τῇ πάν των ἀποβολῇ καὶ τῇ κακίᾳ τοῦ σώματος ἔτη ιδʹ· ἐν τῇ δευτέρᾳ εὐπραγίᾳ ἔτη ρνζʹ, ὡς εἶναι τὸν πάντα τῆς ζωῆς αὐτοῦ χρό νον, ἔτη σμηʹ, καθά φησιν ἡ κατ' αὐτὸν ἱερὰ βίβλος. ιζʹ. Καὶ ἐτελεύτησεν Ἰὼβ πρεσβύτερος καὶ πληρὴς ἡμερῶν. Γέγραπται δὲ, αὐτὸν πάλιν ἀναστήσεσθαι μεθ' ὧν ὁ Κύριος ἀνί στησιν. Ἀκύλας καὶ Σύμμαχος ἐλθόντες συνεπέ ραναν τὸ βιβλίον, ὡς δὴ τῷ ἑβραϊκῷ ἀκο λουθοῦντες· ὁ δὲ Θεοδοτίων συμπεραίνει τοῖς Οʹ, οὐδὲν ἔχων ἐλλεῖπον, οὐ χρόνον, οὐ βίον. Γέγραπται δὲ πάλιν ἀναστήσεσθαι αὐτὸν, μεθ' ὧν ὁ Κύριος ἀνίστησιν, τῶν δικαίων δηλονότι· οἱ γὰρ ἀσεβεῖς, φησὶν, οὐκ ἀναστήσονται ἐν κρίσει, οὐδὲ οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἐν βουλῇ δικαίων. Καὶ ταῦτα δὲ ῥήματα δεχόμεθα, εἰ καὶ μὴ ὡς τοῦ παντὸς ὕφους ὄντα, ἀλλά γε ὥς τινος τῶν ἁγίων αὐτὰ συνυφήναντος τῇ βίβλῳ· πλὴν ὅμως πάντα δεχόμεθα, οὕτως ἐκ τῶν πατέρων τὸ βιβλίον παρειληφότες. ιηʹ. Οὗτος ἑρμηνεύεται ἐκ τῆς συριακῆς βίβλου. Συριακὴν νῦν τὴν Ἑβραίων διάλεκτον κα 391 λεῖ, ἐπειδὴ καὶ Συρίαν τὴν Ἰουδαῖαν, καὶ Σύρους οἱ πολλοὶ τοὺς Παλαιστινοὺς ὀνομάζουσιν· καὶ Ἡρόδοτος ὁ ἱστοριογράφος φησί· Περιτέμνονται δὲ Ἰνδοὶ, καὶ Αἰγύπτιοι, καὶ Ἄραβες, καὶ οἱ ἐν Παλαιστίνῃ Σύροι· τοὺς Ἰουδαίους οὕτω καλοῦσιν.
