  [  Adeg the son of Fediel got sick, and he was so weak that he could 
     only take milk. One day he asked for his milk, but those taking care 
     of him told him " there is no any milk left today , as we gave it to 
     your son, who was going in a long journey to Berka." and Adg replied
    " wasn't my journey longer than his ? " and this saying of Adg has 
     become a proverb until this time, and people say " wasn't my journey
     longer than his" said Adg wed Fdiel.]
