καὶ ἀνέστρεψεν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἡ πεπιστερὰ τὸ πρὸς ἑσπέραν, καὶ εἶχεν φύλλον ἐλαίας κάρΦος ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῆς· καὶ ἔγνω Νῶε ὅτι κεκόπακεν τὸ ὕδωρ ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς.

Latin (Vulgate)
At illa venit ad eum ad vesperam, portans ramum olivæ virentibus foliis in ore suo: intellexit ergo Noë quod cessassent aquæ super terram.
Y la paloma volvió á él á la hora de la tarde; y he aquí que traía una hoja de oliva tomada en su pico: y entendió Noé que las aguas se habían retirado de sobre la tierra.
And behold, the dove returned to him in the evening with a freshly plucked olive leaf in her beak. So Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth.
