1. Then one of those four went to the white cows, and taught them a
mystery. While the cow was trembling, it was born, and became a
man,[204] and fabricated for himself a large ship. In this he dwelt, and
three cows[205] dwelt with him in that ship, which covered them.
2. Again I lifted up my eyes towards heaven, and saw a lofty roof. Above
it were seven cataracts, which poured forth on a certain village much
water.
3. Again I looked, and behold there were fountains open on the earth in
that large village.
4. The water began to boil up, and rose over the earth; so that the
village was not seen, while its whole soil was covered with water.
5. Much water was over it, darkness, and clouds. Then I surveyed the
height of this water; and it was elevated above the village.
