According to the classicist Karla Pollmann, by using lines that concern destruction and the establishment of law, Proba is able to convey the traditional idea that Noah's survival represents the dawning of a "second creation and a new order" (that is, the Patriarchal age).
Menurut klasikis Karla Pollmann, dengan memakai baris-baris terkait penghancuran dan pendirian hukum, Proba dapat memajukan gagasan tradisional bahwa keselamatan Nuh mewakili kemunculan "penciptaan kedua dan tatanan baru" (yang merupakan zaman Patriarkhal).
