Being legitimate [is] a divine sort of thing in the production of offspring among human beings. For this reason he who does not have this [is called] no/qos, as being deprived of something divine [qei=on]; with the privative no. From this [come] no/qa ["spurious things"] and by transference things that are simply foreign.[2]
