G.R. Woodward, H. Mattingly, 1914, p. 10,1
ἔρημος γὰρ ὑπάρχων παίδων, διὰ φροντίδος εἶχε πολλῆς ὅπως, τοῦ τοιούτου λυθεὶς δεσμοῦ, τέκνων κληθείη πατήρ, πρᾶγμα τοῖς πολλοῖς εὐκταιότατον.
Jacobus Billius Prunaeus, 1577 A.D., Migne no. 73, col. 446b1
Nam cum filiis careret, haec eum cura sollicitum habebat, quonam pacto his vinculis solveretur, ac susceptis liberis patris nomen obtineret, quo videlicet apud plerosque nihil est optatius.
G.R. Woodward, H. Mattingly, 1914
For being without issue, he took ceaseless thought how he might be rid of this hobble, and be called the father of children, a name greatly coveted by most people.
Keyser & Unger p. 2,1
þuiat aller gofger menn styrkiazt oc af gleðiazt. er þeir sia arva þa er þeirra ætt oc riki mego með sœmd oc virðing styra oc stiorna. en sa einn lutr skortte hann er margum sinnum fek honom mykyllar hugsottar oc angrsamrar ahyggiu. en þat var at hann atte ekki barnn. þat er til arfs oc rikis stœðe eptir hans daga. en sa lutr er morgum goðom oc gofgum monnum mest til fagnaðar oc fremdar.
H.E.Kinck, 1852 p. 3,1-4,1
Det er nemlig en Tilfredsstillelse og Glæde for alle fornemme Mænd, naar de se Arvinger, der med Ære og Anseelse kunne styre og regjere deres Æt og Rige. Men denne ene Ting (4,1) manglede ham og voldte ham mangen Gang stor Bedrövelse og nagende Bekymring, nemlig at han ikke havde noget Barn, som kunde modlage Arv og Rige efter hans Dage, et Gode, hvori mange anseede og fornemme Mænd væsentligen sætte sin Glæde og Ære.
Ed. Gimaret 1972 101,1
