Holy Scripture
Genesis 41:16
A church father on this verse
“(Verse 16) And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying: Without God, salvation will not be given to Pharaoh. In Hebrew, it is different: Without me, God will answer peace to Pharaoh. Finally, Symmachus translated more openly in his own way: Not I, but God will answer peace to Pharaoh.”

17And Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, In my dream methought I stood by the bank of the river;
18and there came up as it were out of the river, seven cows well-favored and choice-fleshed, and they fed on the sedge.
