Origen, on Num 33:7

“Departing from thence they came over against Phihahiroth, which looketh towards Beelsephon, and they camped before Magdalum.”

“Iroth [Pi-hahiroth] means "villages." For the soul has not yet come to the city, nor is what is perfect already held, but first and for the moment some small places are taken. For progress consists in coming to great things from small ones.”
