8 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ὁ ἄγγελος κυρίου αγαρ παιδίσκη σαρας πόθεν ἔρχῃ καὶ ποῦ πορεύῃ καὶ εἶπεν ἀπὸ προσώπου σαρας τῆς κυρίας μου ἐγὼ ἀποδιδράσκω

1913. That 'Sarai said to Abram' means that the affection for truth so perceived is clear from the meaning of 'Sarai' as the affection for truth, 1904, and from the fact that 'saying' in the internal sense is perceiving, as stated above in 1898, where the same words occur.
