Soncino Translation:
‘It is related of King Ptolemy that he brought together seventy-two elders and placed them in seventy-two [separate] rooms, without telling them why he had brought them together, and he went in to each one of them and said to him, Translate for me the Torah of Moses your master. God then prompted each one of them and they all conceived the same idea and wrote for him........‘the beast with small legs’ and they did not write ‘the hare’(הארנבת), because the name of Ptolemy's wife was 'hare' (ארנבת), lest he should say, The Jews have jibed at me and put the name of my wife in the Torah.
