Greek text · Dindorf 4:71

μεθʼ οὓς συντέτακται αὐτῷ ὁ περὶ βίου θεωρητικοῦ ἢ ἱκετῶν, ἐξ οὗ τὰ περὶ τοῦ βίου τῶν ἀποστολικῶν ἀνδρῶν διεληλύθαμεν· καὶ τῶν ἐν νόμῳ δὲ καὶ προφήταις Ἑβραϊκῶν ὀνομάτων αἶ ἑρμηνεῖαι τοῦ αὐτοῦ σπουδαὶ εἶναι λέγονται.

English · Claude translation

After these he composed On the Contemplative Life, or Suppliants, from which we have described the life of the apostolic men; and the Interpretations of the Hebrew Names in the Law and the Prophets are also said to be his work.
