The Life of Adam and Eve (Latin Version) 26
Latin Version
When I saw this, I was confounded, and terror seized me and I bowed myself down before
2God with my face to the earth. And God said to me, 'Behold thou diest, since thou hast transgressed the commandment of God, for thou didst hearken rather to the voice of thy wife, whom I gave into thy power, that thou mightst hold her to thy will. Yet thou didst listen to her and didst pass by My words.'
