Greek text · Dindorf 4:449

συνήγετο δʼ οὖν ἀκολούθως προρρήσει προφητικῇ μυστικῶς τὸ μέλλον προσημαινούσῃ “ὀστέον πρὸς ὀστέον καὶ ἁρμονία πρὸς ἁρμονίαν, ’’ καὶ ὅσα θεσπίζων ὁ λόγος διʼ αἰνιγμάτων ἀψευδῶς προανετείνετο.

English · Claude translation

They came together in accordance with the prophetic prediction that mystically foretold what was to come, “bone to bone and joint to joint,” and whatever else the word truly foretold in its oracles through riddles.
