Cassiodorus, on Ps 127:3

“Thy wife as a fruitful vine, on the sides of thy house.”

“Next: "Your sons will be as olive shoots around your table." In regards to Wisdom, the wife, rightly are the children called "sons," not "daughters." By the male sex strength of mind is often indicated. Or it may be because whenever this sex is named, it embraces both male and female, as elsewhere he says, "Blessed is the man who fears the Lord." Not only is a man blessed who fears the Lord, but also a woman is blessed who fears the Lord.”
