Greek text · Archambault 1:260

Τότε οὖν ἦλθον ἐπὶ τὰ ἐξῆς, ἐν οἷς λέλεκται ταῦτα· Ἀπῆλθε δὲ κύριος, ὡς ἐπαύσατο λέγων τῷ Ἀβραάμ, καὶ ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ. Ἦλθον δὲ οἱ δύο ἄγγελοι εἰς Σόδομα ἐσπέρας· Λὼτ δὲ ἐκάθητο παρὰ τὴν πύλην Σοδόμων· καὶ τὰ ἑξῆς ὁμοίως μέχρι τοῦ· Ἐκτείναντες δὲ οἱ ἄνδρες τὰς χεῖρας ἐπίασαν τὸν Λὼτ πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς εἰς τὸν οἶκον, καὶ τὴν θύραν τοῦ οἴκου προσέκλεισαν· καὶ τὰ ἑπόμενα μέχρι τοῦ· Καὶ ἐκράτησαν οἱ ἄγγελοι τῆς χειρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ τῆς χειρὸς τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ τῶν χειρῶν τῶν θυγατέρων αὐτοῦ, ἐν τῷ φείσασθαι κύριον αὐτοῦ.

“Then I came to what follows, in which this is said: ‘And the Lord went away when he had finished speaking to Abraham, and he went to his place. And the two angels came to Sodom in the evening; and Lot was sitting by the gate of Sodom,’ and what follows likewise, until: ‘And the men put out their hands and drew Lot into the house to them, and shut the door of the house,’ and what follows, until: ‘And the angels took hold of his hand and the hand of his wife and the hands of his daughters, the Lord being merciful to him.
