Origen — on Wis 8:2 (HOMILIES ON GENESIS 6:1)

Patristic A.D. 254
Origen · c. A.D. 184–253
“I think therefore that Sarah, which means "principal," or what has primacy, is a figure of the aretē which is the virtue of the soul. This virtue is joined and clings to a wise and faithful husband, like that wise one who said of wisdom, "I sought to take her as my bride." For this reason God says to Abraham, "In everything that Sarah says to you, listen to her voice."”
