Exodus 12:11
And he also writes that those who chew the Passover are to have such a posture, through the next words: And you shall eat it this way: your loins girded, and your shoes on your feet, and your staffs in your hands. And you shall eat it in haste. It is a Passover to the Lord (Exodus 12:11).
Greek
Συγγράφει δὲ καὶ [τοιό]νδε σχῆμα ἔχειν τοὺς [τρώγο]ντας τὸ πάσχα διὰ τῶν [ἑξῆς] ῥητῶν· Οὕτως δὲ φά[γεσθε] αὐτό· αἱ ὀσφύες ὑμῶν [περιε]ζωσμέναι, καὶ τὰ ὑποδή[ματα] ὑμῶν ἐν τοῖς ποσὶν ὑμῶν,|| καὶ αἱ βακτηρίαι ὑμων ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν ὑμῶν. Καὶ ἔδεσθε αὐτὸ μετὰ σπουδῆς. Πάσχα ἐστὶν [Κ(υρί)ῳ.
