After summarizing the contents of the paper, Terquem, writing in 1848 in the Nouvelles annales de mathématiques, makes the following blunt announcement: "By way of a diversion, we shall conclude this lengthy account with a few philological observations which, we freely admit, bear not the slightest relation to the subject." He then launches into learned reflections on the meaning of a Hebrew word found in the Bible! Briefly returning to his original subject, he ends with "the opening of a psalm for the use of geometers: Beatus mathematicus qui procul libris nihil legit ; omnia inveniet", which may be roughly translated as: "Blessed is the mathematician who never strays from his books; he will find everything."
