The Works of Philo Judæus - The Contemporary of Josephus, Translated From the Greek #266203

In his treatise on the Laws, he divides them into what he looks upon as unwritten laws, that is to say, the living patterns of a blameless life which the scripture sets before us in Enoch, Noah, Abraham, &c., and particular laws in the narrower technical common acceptation of the word. In the other treatises, he deduces an allegorical meaning from the plain historical account Of Moses, which serves him as the foundation for his philosophical system.
