Chapter 2

Notes

1. 5

   The numeral is uncertain. In the old Latin version we find “the fourth,” which Grabe has corrected into the nineteenth. The choice lies between “ninth” and “nineteenth,” i.e., a.d. 107 or a.d. 116.

2. 6

   Literally, “would choose to submit to.”

3. 7

   Some read, “fear compelled.”

4. 8

   Literally, “evil-dæmon.”

5. 9

   Literally, “art zealous.”

6. 10

   Or, “one who carries God.”

7. 11

   Literally, “the dæmons.”

8. 12

   The Latin version reads, “Him who bore my sin, with its inventor, upon the cross.”

9. 13

   2 Cor. vi. 16.

10. 14

    Literally, “with.”

11. 15

    Or, “beast-like.”

12. 16

    [Better, “like the noble leader,” etc.; remitting κριὸς to the margin, as an ignoble word to English ears.]
