Neville's statement of the reversal at its sharpest, and the one he calls a claim rather than a reading: man awake matures completely when man becomes the father of his own father. The evidence he brings for it is an inscription rather than a verse. Cyrus, in the parchment quoted in the Apocrypha and in the traditional books, is made to say: I am Cyrus the king, the great king, the mighty king; I am the son of Cambyses the great king; I am the grandson of Cyrus the great king - so the sequence is Cyrus, Cambyses, Cyrus, and the grandson bears the grandfather's name. Cyrus awakes as his own grandfather, which is to say as the father of his own father. The same reversal is stated from the other end in the David material: he claims to be the son of David and is the Son of man who comes forth from humanity, yet David calls him Father - so the one who comes out of humanity turns out to be the father of the humanity he came out of. Neville reads it as the maturity of the individual rather than a paradox to be admired: the Father becomes the child's child, and that is the moment a man is finished. It belongs with the reversal-of-order motif, which carries two other senses of the same phrase - the second chosen over the first, and the gospel order differing from the lived order - and this is the third.
