R. Meir on the eve of the Sabbath left his money in a secret place, not trusting his inkeeper whose name was Kidor because of an ominous verse in Deut. (32; 20) which begins with words Ki dor, i. e., “for a generation of perverseness are they.” His companion had trust and was robbed of all his money.
