G.R. Woodward, H. Mattingly, 1914, p. 18,1-20,1
ἐν ἡμέραις ἀρχαίαις, ἔτι κομιδῇ νέος ὑπάρχων, ἤκουσά τι ῥῆμα ἀγαθὸν καὶ σωτήριον, καί με κατ' ἄκρας ἡ τούτου δύναμις εἷλε, καί, ὥσπερ (20,1) τις θεῖος σπόρος, ἡ τούτου μνήμη, τῇ ἐμῇ φυτευθεῖσα καρδίᾳ, ἀχώριστος εἰς ἀεὶ διετηρήθη ὡς καὶ ῥιζωθῆναι, καὶ ἐκβλαστῆσαι, καὶ ὃν ὁρᾷς καρπὸν ἐνεγκεῖν ἐν ἐμοί.
Jacobus Billius Prunaeus, 1577 A.D., Migne no. 73, col. 448d1
Olim, cum adhuc juvenili aetate essem, bonum ac salutare verbum audivi, cujus vis majorem in modum me rapuit, ipsiusque memoria, divini cujusdam seminis instar, pectori meo insita ita permansit, ut nunquam a me divelli potuerit; adeo ut et radices egerit, et germen ediderit, ac maturo tempore fructum in me tulerit.
G.R. Woodward, H. Mattingly, 1914
In former days, when I was still but a stripling, I heard a certain good and wholesome saying, which, by its three took my soul by storm; and the remembrance of it, like some divine seed, being planted in my heart, unmoved, was preserved ever until it took root, blossomed, and bare that fruit which thou seest in me.
Keyser & Unger p. 5,1
I blome alldrs mins. er œska min visaðe mer mart at forvitna. þa kom til œyrna mer ælskulegt orð. er sva rotfeste sitt sæðe i hiartta minu. at nu er auðsynt her at avoxtr a er orðenn.
H.E.Kinck, 1852 p. 9,1
I min blomstrende Alder, da min Ungdom ansporede mig til at granske efter Meget, da kom mig for Ören et elsketigt Ord, der saaledes rodfæstede sit Frö i mit Hjerte, at det nu her klart viser sig, at det har baaret Frugt.
