Cumque esset sapientissimus Ecclesiastes, docuit populum, et enarravit quæ fecerat ; et investigans composuit parabolas multas.
Vulgate
Καὶ περισσὸν ὅτι ἐγένετο Ἐκκλησιαστὴς σοφός, ὅτι ἐδίδαξεν γνῶσιν σὺν τὸν ἄνθρωπον, καὶ οὖς ἐξιχνιάσεται κόσμιον παραβολῶν.
LXX
And further, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he pondered, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.
