On the question why certain Names in the Holy Scriptures are changed

Philo of Alexandria · Parte 50

Be content if you find one who is not wholly unjust, or foolish, or intemperate, or cowardly, or who is not utterly worthless; for the avoidance of evil is a thing with which to be content, but [52] the complete acquisition of the virtues is unattainable to any man, such as is endowed with our nature.
