{In the time of Elisha the prophet} (epi Elisaiou tou
proph(8874)ou). This use of epi with the genitive for "in the time
of" is a good Greek idiom. The second illustration of the proverb
is from the time of Elisha and is another heathen, {Naaman the
Syrian} (Naiman ho Syros). He was the lone leper that was
cleansed by Elisha ( 2Ki 5:1,14 ).
