Gen. iv. 1, lxx.  A.V. renders “she conceived and bare Cain and said,” and here St. Basil has been accused of quoting from memory.  But in the Greek of the lxx. the subject to εἶπεν is not expressed, and a possible construction of the sentence is to refer it to Adam.  In his work adv. Eunom. ii. 20, St. Basil again refers the exclamation to Adam.
