An Almost Exact Equivalent in Marqe and Justin Regarding

In Samaritan Aramaic:

The righteous one, who was from Isaac, he taught in the valley of the Yabbok when he stood with His man, and he touched the hollow of his thigh (Gen. xxxii. 25). (MacDonald p. 79)

If the original passage were in Hebrew:

The righteous one, who was from Isaac, He taught in the valley of the Yabbok when he stood with אישו, and he (= אישו) touched the hollow of his thigh (Gen. xxxii. 25). (p. 79)

D C Allison's [Constructing Jesus: Memory, Imagination, and History p. 299] summary of Justin Dial 125:

According to Justin (Dial. 125.3), Jesus bore the name “Israel,” with which he christened Jacob after wrestling with him.
