(Καὶ οἱ κύνες ἤρξαντο κατεσθίειν τὰ πρόβατα καὶ οἱ ὔες καὶ οἱ ἀλώπεκες κατήσθιον αὐτά, μέχρι οὗ ἤγειρεν ὁ κύριος τῶν προβάτων κριὸν ἕνα ἐκ τῶν προβάτων. | And the hounds tried to tame the sheep and the hens and the foxes to tame them, until the master of the sheep raised a ram from one of the sheep.)GrGreek fragment from Vatican MS., published by Mai, Patrum Nova Bibliotheca, t. ii, deciphered by Gildemeister, in ZDMG, 1855, pp. 621, 622.Of 42-9 a fragment of the Greek version survives.
