Dialogue with Trypho 64.5
Summary: Psalm 72, titled “for Solomon,” shows Christ existed before the sun.
Greek text · Archambault 1:304
Καὶ ἐν ἄλλοις, τοῖς καὶ αὐτοῖς προανιστορημένοις, διὰ τοῦ Δαυῒδ λεχθεῖσι λόγοις, οὓς εἰς Σολομῶνα ἀνοήτως φάσκετε εἰρῆσθαι, ἐπιγεγραμμένους εἰς Σολομῶνα, ἐξ ὧν καὶ τὸ ὅτι εἰς Σολομῶνα οὐκ εἴρηνται ἀποδείκνυται, καὶ ὅτι οὗτος καὶ πρὸ τοῦ ἡλίου ἦν, καὶ οἱ ἀπὸ τοῦ λαοῦ ὑμῶν σωζόμενοι διʼ αὐτοῦ σωθήσονται.
English · Claude translation
“And in other words spoken through David, also recounted before, which you foolishly say were spoken of Solomon, because they are entitled ‘for Solomon,’ from which it is proved both that they were not spoken of Solomon, and that this one existed even before the sun, and that those of your people who are saved will be saved through him.
