Greek text · Stählin 2:74–75

Μετὰ δὲ τὸν Ἰωὰν διαδέχεται τὴν βασιλείαν Ἀμασίας ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἔτη τριάκοντα ἐννέα, τοῦτον Ὀζίας ὁμοίως ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ ἔτη πεντήκοντα δύο, καὶ λεπρῶν οὗτος ἐτελεύτα· προφητεύουσι δὲ ἐπʼ αὐτοῦ Ἀμῶς καὶ Ἡσαΐας ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ Ὠσηὲ ὁ τοῦ Βεηρὶ καὶ Ἰωνᾶς ὁ τοῦ Ἀμαθὶ ὁ ἐκ Γὲθ Χοβὲρ ὁ κηρύξας Νινευίταις, ὁ ἐκ τοῦ κήτους προελθών. ἔπειτα βασιλεύει Ἰωναθὰν ὁ υἱὸς Ὀζίου ἔτη ἑκκαίδεκα· ἐπὶ τούτου ἔτι Ἡσαΐας προφητεύει καὶ Ὠσηὲ καὶ Μιχαίας ὁ Μωρασθίτης καὶ Ἰωὴλ ὁ τοῦ Βαθουήλ.

English · Claude translation

After Joash his son Amaziah succeeded to the kingdom for thirty-nine years; Uzziah his son likewise succeeded him for fifty-two years, and he died a leper. In his time Amos prophesied, and Isaiah his son, and Hosea son of Beeri, and Jonah son of Amittai of Gath-hepher, who preached to the Ninevites and came out of the whale. Then Jotham son of Uzziah reigned sixteen years; in his time Isaiah still prophesied, and Hosea, and Micah the Morasthite, and Joel son of Bathuel.

Translation notes

Clement takes Isaiah to be the son of Amos the prophet (Isa 1:1 names his father Amoz). The allusions are 2 Kgs 14:1–2; 15:1–7, 32–33; Amos 1:1; Hos 1:1; Jonah 1:1; 2 Kgs 14:25; Mic 1:1; Joel 1:1 (Clement writes Bathuel for Pethuel, as the Septuagint does).
