Praeparatio Evangelica (The Preparation of the Gospel)

'PHILO also, in his fourteenth book Concerning Jerusalem, testifies to the truth of the sacred Scriptures, speaking as follows:

"For them the mighty lord of all the land A happy home prepared—he, now most high, Who from the ancient stock of Abraham And Isaac sprang, and Jacob rich in sons Claimed as his sire—Joseph of royal dreams The wise interpreter, who seated high On Egypt's throne now sways the sceptre's power, Much tossed erewhile by waves of fickle fate:"

…and so forth. So much concerning Joseph.'
