Maybe I am wrong and will have to insert foot in mouth, but I think it is
called "Ethiopian Enoch" not because it was originally Ethiopian but just
because the only COMPLETE copy we have is Ethiopic.  The greek is a
translation from Aramaic, I believe (seems to me there are Qumran fragments
of 1 Enoch in Aramaic).

But I don't know any aramaic to attempt to provide light on the passage from
that angle.

1Enoch 106:1

META DE CRONON ELABON MAQOUSALEK TWi hUIWi MOU GUNAIKA
KAI ETEKEN hUION KAI EKALESEN TO hONOMA AUTOU LAMEC:

Don't read Ethiopic so I am curious about the idiom:

ELABON MAQOUSALEK TWi hUIWi MOU GUNAIKA

I assume the agent here is Enoch and the action is performed on behalf of
MAQOUSALEK TWi hUIWi MOU.

One of you Semitic specialists have any light to shed on the cultural
background?

thanks and greetings,

Clay
