Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child: wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?

Put the question and see if it is possible for a man to have birth-pains: why do I see every man with his hands gripping his sides, as a woman does when the pains of birth are on her, and all faces are turned green?

Ερωτησατε τωρα και ιδετε, εαν αρσεν τικτη· δια τι βλεπω εκαστον ανδρα με τας χειρας αυτου επι την οσφυν αυτου, ως τικτουσαν, και παντα τα προσωπα εστραφησαν εις ωχριασιν;
