Text Mysticorum expositiones sacramentorum seu Quaestiones in Vetus Testamentum (624 - 636) Isidore of Seville
Quotation Hoc revera mirabile est, quemadmodum omnes gentes quae a Romanis subjugatae sunt, in ritum Romanorum sacrorum transierint, ea que sacrilegia observanda, et celebranda susceperint; gens autem Judaeorum sive sub paganis regibus, sive sub Christianis, non amiserit signum legis, et circumcisionis suae, quo a caeteris gentibus populisque distinguitur. 18. Sed et omnis imperator, vel rex, qui eos in suo regno invenit, cum ipso signo eos invenit, et non occidit; id est, non efficit ut non sint Judaei certo quodam et proprio suae observationis signo a caeterarum gentium communione discreti, nisi quicunque eorum ad Christum transierit, ut jam non inveniatur Cain, neque exeat a facie Dei, neque habitet in terra Naid.
Translation This in truth is wondrous, to the extent that all people who were subjected to the Romans, went over to the rites of the Romans, and received those sacrileges as things to be observed and celebrated; but the people of the Jews, whether under pagans kings, or under Christian ones, did not give up the sign of the law, and its circumcision, by which they are known from other peoples. 18. But every emperor, or king, who came to rule over them, found them with this sign, and did not hide it; that is, did not make it so that the Jews were not to be distinguished by a specific clear sign proper to their own observations from the communion of other peoples, unless some of them should have gone over to Christ, so that now Cain shall not be found, nor shall he go out from the face of God, nor shall he live in the land of Naid.
