- καὶ εἰσελεύσεται εἰς τὴν γῆν τοῦ σαβαείν, καὶ πολλοὶ ἀσθενήσουσιν· καὶ οὗτοι διασωθήσονται ἐκ χειρὸς αὐτοῦ, Ἐδὼμ καὶ Μωὰβ καὶ ἀρχὴ υἱῶν Ἀμμών.

The Fathers on this verse
St Hippolytus Treatise on Christ and Antichrist
51. But not to confine ourselves to these words and arguments alone, for the purpose of convincing those who love to study the oracles of God, we shall demonstrate the matter by many other proofs. For Daniel says, “And these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.” Ammon and Moab are the children born to Lot by his daughters, and their race survives even now. And Isaiah says: “And they shall fly in the boats of strangers, plundering the sea together, and (they shall spoil) them of the east: and they shall lay hands upon Moab first; and the children of Ammon shall first obey them.”
