Section 22

Notes

1. 1

   ἀνομίας. Cod. B gives ἀπωλείας, perdition; and for μέλλει = is to, it reads θέλει = wishes. [2 Thess. ii. 3, 4–8.]

2. 2

   Cod. B gives ἀειπαρθένου, ever-virgin.

3. 3

   ἐν πλάνῃ. Cod. B reads ἀκριβῶς, exactly. Many of the ancients hold that Antichrist will be a demon in human figure. See Augustine, Sulpicius Severus, in Dialogue II., and Philippus Dioptra, iii. 11, etc.

   φανταστικὴν τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ οὐσίαν.

5. 5

   Organ, ὄργανον.

6. 6

   Cod. B reads τὴν θεοτόκον ἔγνωμεν σαρκικῶς καὶ ἀπλανῶς, instead of the text, σαρκοφόρον ἀπλανῶς, etc. [Conf. vol. iii. p. 523.]

7. 7

   Ex. xxxiv. 19; Num. viii. 16; Luke ii. 23.
