Chapter 47

Notes

1. 1

   Matt. x. 28.

2. 2

   The text is, “quibus utique repensari non possunt,” etc. Routh proposes repensare.

3. 3

   Reading “sicut vox Jesu.” The Codex Casinensis gives, “sicut vos Jesu.” Routh suggests servator.

4. 4

   John i. 18; iii. 13.

5. 5

   Matt. x. 40.

6. 6

   John vi. 38.

7. 7

   Matt. xv. 24.

8. 8

   Matt. xii. 47.

9. 9

   The text gives, “Virgo castissima et immaculata ecclesia,” = the most pure virgin and spotless church. But the word “ecclesia” is probably an erroneous addition by the hand of the scribe. Or, as Routh hints, there may be an allusion, in the word ecclesia, to the beginning of the twelfth chapter of the Apocalypse. [See Pearson, On the Creed, art. iii. p. 290.]

10. 10

    From this it may perhaps be gathered that Marcellus had now come along with Archelaus to the residence of Diodorus.

11. 11

    Scribere ausus est. Compare (note 1) p. 224, infra.

12. 12

    Matt. xxii. 42. We read Davidis essefor David Jesse.

13. 13

    Matt. xvi. 16.

14. 14

    The text gives, “Quod si prior fefellit, causa ad scriptorem rejicienda est.” [i.e., to the copyist; in this case the corrupter.]

15. 15

    Consonantibus duntaxat.
