Salutation / Introduction

Notes

1. 1

   A fragment. Edited from the Vatican Codex 1996, f. 78, belonging to a date somewhere about the tenth century.

2. 2

   Reading πολλοῦ γε δεῖ. The text gives πόλυ γε δεῖ.

3. 3

   ἀτμίς. If this strange reading ἀτμίς is correct, there is apparently a play intended on the two words πνεῦμα and ἀτμίς, = if God is a πνεῦμα, which word literally signifies Wind or Air, Christ, on that analogy, may be called ἀτμίς that is to say, the Vapour or Breath of that Wind.
