BOOK THE SIXTH.
ΠΕΡΙ ΣΧΙΣΜΑΤΩΝ.
CONCERNING SCHISMS.
ΚΕΦΑΛΑΙΟΝ Αʹ. Τίνες σχίσματα ποιεῖν τολμήσαντες, οὐ διέφυγον τὴν τιμωρίαν.
CHAPTER I. Who they were that dared to make schisms and did not escape punishment.
Πρὸ πάντων φυλάσσεσθε, ὦ ἐπίσκοποι, τὰς δεινὰς καὶ χαλεπὰς καὶ ἀθεωτάτους αἱρέσεις, φεύγοντες αὐτὰς ὥσπερ πῦρ, φλέγον τοὺς αὐτῷ πλησιάζοντας. Φεύγετε δὲ καὶ τὰ σχίσματα· οὔτε γὰρ πρὸς ἀνοσίους αἱρέσεις θεμιτὸν ἐκκλῖναι τὸν νοῦν, οὔτε τῶν ὁμογνωμόνων χωρίζεσθαι θεμιτὸν διὰ φιλαρχίαν. Ταῦτα γὰρ καὶ τὸ παλαιόν τινες τολμήσαντες ἐπιχειρῆσαι, οὐ διέφυγον τὴν τιμωρίαν. Δαθὰν γὰρ καὶ Ἀβειρὼν ἀντιπρόσωποι γενόμενοι Μωσεῖ, κατεπόθησαν εἰς γῆν· Κορὲ δὲ καὶ οἱ μετ' αὐτοῦ διακόσιοι πεντήκοντα, τῷ Ἀαρὼν διαστασιάσαντες, πυρὸς παρανάλωμα γεγόνασι. Μαρία δὲ ὀνειδίσασα Μωσῇ, ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς ἀπεβλήθη ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας. Ἔλεγε γάρ· « Ὅτι γυναῖκα Μωϋσῆς Αἰθιόπισσαν ἔλαβεν. »
Before all things, O bishops, be on your guard against the dreadful and grievous and most godless heresies, fleeing from them as from a fire that burns those who draw near to it. And flee from schisms also; for it is neither lawful to turn the mind aside towards unholy heresies, nor lawful to separate oneself from those of one mind through love of rule. For certain men of old also, having dared to attempt these things, did not escape punishment. For Dathan and Abiram, having set themselves face to face against Moses, were swallowed down into the earth; and Korah and the two hundred and fifty with him, having raised faction against Aaron, became the fuel of fire. And Miriam, having reproached Moses, was cast outside the camp for seven days. For she said: "That Moses has taken an Ethiopian woman to wife."

"On schisms." In both Vienna codices the argument of this book is expressed thus: "In which, concerning schisms, and that it is lawful to rise up neither against kingship nor against priesthood, for this is a grave thing and deserving of the greatest punishment." Clericus.

Siquidem Abedadam, alius homo : nempe Obededom, apud Graecos Ἀβδεδόμ, Ἀβεδδαδόμ, Ὀβὴδ Ἐδάμ, Ὠβάδαμος, Ὠβέδαμος, Ἀβεδεδών, Ἀβεδδαδάν, et corruptius Ἀβεδαρά, Ἀβεδδαρά, Ἀβεδδαρᾶν. Leges Ἀβεδδαδάν in Procopio ad II Reg. VI; Ἀβεδεδών in Chronico Alexandrino, p. 200. Igitur σφάλμα est Constitutoris, aut si vis corruptoris Constitutionum. Nam initio potuit scriptum haberi Ἀβεέ ut in ms. Alexandr. II Reg. XX, 1, 7, vel etiam Σαβεέ, ita ut non nemo ad oram libri sui Ἄβελα Δὰν posuerit e II Reg. XX, 18, unde postea factum Ἀβεδαδάν. Cot.

"Abedadan." In B, Ἀβδαδάν. In the interpolated Ignatius, Ἀβεδδαδάν. Seba is wrongly so called — in the Latins also Siba, Sabe, Sabaeas; in the Greeks Σαβεέ, Σαβεαί, Σαβαῖος. For Abedadam is another man, namely Obededom, among the Greeks Ἀβδεδόμ, Ἀβεδδαδόμ, Ὀβὴδ Ἐδάμ, Ὠβάδαμος, Ὠβέδαμος, Ἀβεδεδών, Ἀβεδδαδάν, and more corruptly Ἀβεδαρά, Ἀβεδδαρά, Ἀβεδδαρᾶν. You will read Ἀβεδδαδάν in Procopius on 2 Kings [2 Samuel] 6; Ἀβεδεδών in the Chronicon Alexandrinum, p. 200. It is therefore a slip (σφάλμα) of the author of the Constitutions, or, if you prefer, of their corrupter. For at first Ἀβεέ may have stood written, as in the Alexandrian manuscript at 2 Kings [2 Samuel] 20:1, 7, or even Σαβεέ, so that someone set Ἄβελα Δάν in the margin of his copy from 2 Kings [2 Samuel] 20:18, whence afterwards Ἀβεδαδάν was made.

PG 1:912
Οὐ μὴν δὲ, ἀλλὰ καὶ Ἀζαρίας καὶ Ὀζίας, οὗτος ἦν βασιλεὺς τοῦ Ἰούδα, κατατολμήσας τῆς ἱερωσύνης, καὶ θυμιᾶσαι βουληθεὶς τὸ θυμίαμα ὃ οὐ προσῆκον αὐτῷ, κωλυόμενος ὑπὸ Ἀζαρίου τοῦ ἀρχιερέως καὶ τῶν ὀγδοήκοντα ἱερέων, καὶ μὴ ὑπακούσας, ἐξανέτειλε λέπραν ἐν τῷ μετώπῳ, καὶ ἔσπευσεν ἐξελθεῖν, ὅτε ἤλεγξεν αὐτὸν ὁ Κύριος.
Nor is that all, but Azarias also, and Ozias (this man was king of Judah), having made bold against the priesthood, and having wished to burn the incense which did not belong to him, when he was being hindered by Azarias the high priest and the eighty priests and did not obey, broke out with leprosy on his forehead, and made haste to go out, when the Lord convicted him.
ΚΕΦΑΛΑΙΟΝ Βʹ. Ὅτι οὔτε βασιλείᾳ, οὔτε ἱερωσύνῃ θεμιτὸν ἐπανίστασθαι.
CHAPTER II. That it is not lawful to rise up either against kingship or against priesthood.
Προσέχωμεν οὖν, ἀγαπητοὶ, τί τὸ κλέος τῶν στασιασάντων, καὶ ποταπὴ ἡ ἀπόφασις αὐτῶν. Εἰ γὰρ ὁ βασιλεῦσιν ἐπεγειρόμενος, κολάσεως ἄξιος, κἂν υἱὸς ᾖ, κἂν φίλος· πόσῳ μᾶλλον ὁ ἱερεῦσιν ἐπανιστάμενος; ὅσῳ γὰρ ἱερωσύνη βασιλείας ἀμείνων, περὶ ψυχῆς ἔχουσα τὸν ἀγῶνα· τοσούτῳ καὶ βαρυτέραν ἔχει τὴν τιμωρίαν, ὁ ταύτῃ τολμήσας ἀντομματεῖν, ἤπερ ὅτι βασιλείᾳ· καίτοι γε οὐδὲ εἷς ἀτιμώρητος. Οὔτε γὰρ Ἀβεσσαλὼμ καὶ Ἀβεδαδὰν ἔμειναν ἀτιμώρητοι· οὐδὲ Κορὲ καὶ Δαθάν· οἱ μὲν γὰρ τῷ Δαβὶδ περὶ βασιλείας, οἱ δὲ τῷ Μωϋσεῖ περὶ πρωτείων ἐπανέστησαν ἁμιλλώμενοι. Καὶ ἐκακολόγουν· ὁ μὲν Ἀβεσσαλὼμ Δαβὶδ τὸν πατέρα ὡς ἄδικον κριτὴν, λέγων ἑκάστῳ· « Οἱ λόγοι σου καλοὶ, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ ἀκουσόμενός σου, καὶ δικαιώσας σε. Τίς με ποιήσει ἄρχοντα; » Ὁ δὲ Ἀβδαδάν· « Οὐκ ἔστι μοι, φησὶ, μέρος ἐν Δαβὶδ, οὐδὲ κληρονομία ἐν υἱῷ Ἰεσσαὶ, » δῆλον ὡς ἀναξιοπαθῶν ἄρχεσθαι ὑπὸ Δαβὶδ, περὶ οὗ εἶπεν ὁ Θεός· « Ὅτι εὗρον Δαβὶδ τὸν τοῦ Ἰεσσαὶ, ἄνδρα κατὰ τὴν καρδίαν μου, ὃς ποιήσει πάντα τὰ θελήματά μου. » Ὁ δὲ Δαθὰν καὶ Ἀβειρὼν καὶ οἱ Κορεῖται λέγοντες Μωσεῖ· « Μὴ μικρὸν ὅτι ἀνήγαγες ἡμᾶς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου, ἐκ γῆς ῥεούσης μέλι καὶ γάλα; καὶ τί ὅτι ἐξέκοψας τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ἡμῶν, καὶ σὺ ἄρχεις ἡμῶν; » Καὶ ἐπισυνέστησαν ἐπ' αὐτὸν ἐκκλησίαν μεγάλην· καὶ οἱ Κορεῖται· « Μὴ Μωσεῖ λελάληκε μόνῳ ὁ Θεός; τί ὅτι τῷ Ἀαρὼν δέδωκε τὴν ἀρχιερωσύνην μόνῳ; οὐχὶ πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγὴ Κυρίου ἁγία; καὶ τί ὅτι Ἀαρὼν ἱερατεύει μόνος; » Καὶ πρὸ τούτων ἄλλος τις ἔλεγε· « Τίς σε κατέστησεν ἄρχοντα καὶ δικαστὴν ἐφ' ἡμῶν; »
Let us therefore give heed, beloved, to what the renown of those who raised sedition is, and of what sort their sentence. For if he who rises against kings is worthy of punishment, even though he be a son, even though he be a friend, how much more he who stands up against priests? For by as much as priesthood is better than kingship, having its contest concerning the soul, by so much does he also have a heavier chastisement who has dared to look this in the face, than [he who dares it against] kingship; and yet not even one is unpunished. For neither did Absalom and Abedadan remain unpunished, nor Korah and Dathan; for the former rose up contending against David about kingship, the latter against Moses about the first place. And they spoke evil: Absalom of David his father as of an unjust judge, saying to each man, "Your words are good, and there is no one who will hear you and do you right. Who will make me ruler?" And Abdadan: "I have no part," he says, "in David, nor inheritance in the son of Jesse," plainly as one who thought it beneath him to be ruled by David, concerning whom God said, "For I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My heart, who will do all My wishes." And Dathan and Abiram and the Korahites, saying to Moses: "Is it a small thing that you have brought us up out of the land of Egypt, out of a land flowing with honey and milk? And why is it that you have struck out our eyes, and you rule over us?" And they gathered against him a great assembly; and the Korahites: "Has God spoken to Moses alone? Why is it that He has given the high priesthood to Aaron alone? Is not all the congregation of the Lord holy? And why is it that Aaron alone serves as priest?" And before these another man used to say, "Who appointed you ruler and judge over us?"

And they rose up against Moses the servant of God, the meekest beyond all men, and faithful, and they, most ungrateful, dishonoured so great a man: the lawgiver, the guardian, the high priest and king, the initiate of divine things, the one who, as a creator, displayed the workings of the Creator; the meekest, the most free from conceit; the steadfast, the most loving towards men; the one who delivered them from many dangers, and rescued them from various deaths by the holiness that was his own; the one who did so many signs and wonders from God for the people; the one who accomplished the glorious and marvellous works for their benefit; the one who fulfilled the ten plagues upon the Egyptians, who divided the Red Sea, and set the waters apart on this side and on that as a wall, and led the people as through a dry desert, and sank Pharaoh and the Egyptians and all those of their side with them; the one who sweetened a spring for them by means of wood, and out of a sheer rock brought forth water for them when they thirsted; the one who gave them manna from heaven, and gathered flesh from the air; the one who supplied them a pillar of fire by night for light and guidance, and a pillar of cloud for shade by day because of the burning heat from the sun; the one who supplied them the law of God, from the mouth and hand and writing of God engraved on tablets of stone, the Decalogue, of a perfect number; with whom God converses [perhaps: used to converse] face to face, as if someone should speak to his own friend; concerning whom He said, "And there has not arisen a prophet like Moses." Against this man the Korahites and the Reubenites rose up, and they kept throwing stones at Moses as he prayed and said, "Do not give heed to their sacrifice." And the glory of God, having appeared, brought the one group down into the earth, and burned up the other with fire; and thus, as for the leaders of the error of the schism, who said, "Let us appoint a leader for ourselves," the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them, and their tents, and their goods, and they went down into Hades alive; but the Korahites He destroyed by fire.
ΚΕΦΑΛΑΙΟΝ Δʹ. Ὅτι ἀποσχίζει, οὐχ ὁ τῶν ἀσεβῶν χωριζόμενος, ἀλλ' ὁ τῶν εὐσεβῶν ἀφιστάμενος.
CHAPTER IV. That it is not he who separates himself from the impious who makes a schism, but he who withdraws from the pious.
Εἰ οὖν τοῖς διὰ φιλαρχίαν ἀποσχίσασιν, παραυτίκα Θεὸς ἐπήγαγε τὴν τιμωρίαν, πόσῳ μᾶλλον τοῖς αἱρέσεων ἀσεβῶν καθηγησαμένοις; Οὐ σφοδροτέραν ἐπάξει τὴν τίσιν βλασφημοῦσιν αὐτοῦ πρόνοιαν ἢ τὴν
If, then, upon those who split off through love of rule God at once brought chastisement, how much more upon those who have become leaders of impious heresies? Will He not bring a more vehement retribution upon those who blaspheme His providence or the

PG 1:916
δημιουργίαν; Ἀλλ' ὑμεῖς, ἀδελφοὶ, ἐκ τῆς Γραφῆς παιδευόμενοι, φυλάσσεσθε μὴ ποιεῖν τὰ σχίσματα τῆς γνώμης, μήτε μὴν τῆς ἑνώσεως ὑμῶν· ὅτι σκοποὶ ἀπωλείας οἱ δόξης ἀθεμίτου ἄρξαντες καθίστανται τοῖς λαοῖς. Ὁμοίως καὶ οἱ λαϊκοὶ, τοῖς τῇ γνώμῃ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐναντία δογματίσασι μὴ πλησιάζετε, μηδὲ κοινωνοὶ τῆς ἀσεβείας αὐτῶν γίνεσθε· λέγει γὰρ ὁ Θεός· « Ἀποσχίσθητε ἐκ μέσου τῶν ἀνδρῶν τούτων, ἵνα μὴ συναπόλησθε αὐτοῖς· » καὶ πάλιν· « Ἐξέλθετε ἐκ μέσου αὐτῶν, ἀφορίσθητε, λέγει Κύριος, καὶ ἀκαθάρτου μὴ ἅπτεσθε, κἀγὼ εἰσδέξομαι ὑμᾶς. »
creation? But you, brethren, being instructed out of the Scripture, take care not to make divisions of opinion, nor indeed of your unity; for those who have begun an unlawful opinion are set up for the peoples as marks of destruction. Likewise you also, the laity: do not draw near to those who have taught doctrines contrary to the mind of God, nor become sharers in their impiety; for God says, "Separate yourselves from the midst of these men, lest you perish together with them"; and again, "Come out from the midst of them, be set apart, says the Lord, and do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you."
ΚΕΦΑΛΑΙΟΝ Εʹ. Τίνος χάριν ἀπεβλήθη ὁ ψευδώνυμος Ἰσραὴλ, ἀπόδειξις ἐκ προφητικῶν προῤῥήσεων.
CHAPTER V. For what reason the falsely named Israel was cast off: a demonstration from prophetic predictions.
Φευκταῖοι γάρ εἰσιν ὡς ἀληθῶς οἱ βλασφημοῦντες Θεόν. Οἱ μὲν γὰρ πλεῖστοι τῶν ἀσεβῶν ἄγνοιαν ἔχουσι Θεοῦ· οὗτοι δὲ κακόνοιαν ὡς θεομάχοι νοσοῦσιν. Ἐκ γὰρ τῆς κακίας τῶν αἱρεσιωτῶν « ἐξῆλθε μόλυσμα ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν, » ὥς φησιν Ἰερεμίας ὁ προφήτης. Ἀποβληθείσης γὰρ τῆς Συναγωγῆς τῆς πονηρᾶς ὑπὸ Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ τοῦ οἴκου ἀποῤῥιφέντος ὑπ' αὐτοῦ, καθώς πού φησιν· « Ἐγκαταλέλοιπα τὸν οἶκόν μου, ἀφῆκα τὴν κληρονομίαν μου· » καὶ πάλιν Ἡσαΐας· « Ἀνήσω τὸν ἀμπελῶνά μου, καὶ οὐ μὴ τμηθῇ, οὐδ' οὐ μὴ σκαφῇ· καὶ ἀναβήσεται εἰς αὐτὸν ὡς εἰς χέρσον ἄκανθα· καὶ ταῖς νεφέλαις ἐντελοῦμαι τοῦ μὴ βρέξαι εἰς αὐτὸν ὑετόν· » ἐγκαταλιπὼν οὖν τὸν λαὸν, ὡς σκηνὴν ἐν ἀμπελῶνι, καὶ ὡς ὀπωροφυλάκιον ἐν συκηλάτῳ, καὶ ὡς πόλιν πολιορκουμένην, περιελὼν δὲ ἀπ' αὐτῶν καὶ τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον καὶ τὸν προφητικὸν ὑετὸν, ἐπλήρωσε τὴν αὐτοῦ Ἐκκλησίαν πνευματικῆς χάριτος, ὡς ποταμὸν Αἰγύπτου ἐν ἡμέραις νέων, καὶ ὑπερύψωσεν αὐτὴν ὡς οἶκον ἐπ' ὄρους, ἢ ὡς ὄρος ὑπερφερὲς, ὡς ὄρος τετυρωμένον, καὶ ὄρος πῖον· « ἐν ᾧ εὐδόκησεν ὁ Θεὸς κατοικεῖν ἐν αὐτῷ· καὶ γὰρ ὁ Κύριος κατασκηνώσει εἰς τέλος· » καὶ ἐν τῷ Ἰερεμίᾳ λέγει· « Θρόνος δόξης ὑψωμένος, ἁγίασμα ἡμῶν· » καὶ ἐν Ἡσαΐᾳ λέγει· « Καὶ ἔσται ἐν ταῖς ἐσχάταις ἡμέραις ἐμφανὲς τὸ ὄρος Κυρίου, καὶ ὁ οἶκος τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐπ' ἄκρων τῶν ὀρέων, καὶ ὑψωθήσεται ὑπεράνω τῶν βουνῶν. » Ἐπεὶ οὖν καὶ τὸν λαὸν ἐγκατέλιπε, καὶ τὸν ναὸν ἀφῆκεν ἔρημον, σχίσας τὸ καταπέτασμα τοῦ ναοῦ, καὶ λαβὼν ἀπ' αὐτῶν τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον· « Ἰδοὺ γὰρ, φησὶν, ἀφίεται ὑμῖν ὁ οἶκος ὑμῶν ἔρημος· »
For those who blaspheme God are truly to be shunned. For most of the impious have ignorance of God; but these, as fighters against God, are sick with ill will. For from the wickedness of the heretics "defilement has gone out upon all the earth," as Jeremiah the prophet says. For when the wicked Synagogue had been cast off by the Lord God, and the house rejected by Him, as He says somewhere, "I have forsaken My house, I have left My inheritance"; and again Isaiah, "I will let My vineyard go, and it shall not be pruned, nor shall it be dug; and thorns shall come up upon it as upon waste land; and I will command the clouds not to rain rain upon it"; having therefore forsaken the people, as a tent in a vineyard, and as a fruit-watcher's hut in a cucumber-bed, and as a besieged city, and having also taken away from them both the Holy Spirit and the prophetic rain, He filled His own Church with spiritual grace, as the river of Egypt in the days of the new fruits, and He exalted it exceedingly as a house upon a mountain, or as a towering mountain, as a curdled mountain, and a fat mountain, "in which God was well pleased to dwell; for indeed the Lord will make His dwelling there to the end"; and in Jeremiah He says, "A throne of glory lifted up, our sanctuary"; and in Isaiah He says, "And in the last days the mountain of the Lord shall be manifest, and the house of God on the tops of the mountains, and it shall be lifted up above the hills." Since, then, He both forsook the people and left the temple desolate, having rent the veil of the temple and having taken the Holy Spirit from them, "For behold," He says, "your house is left to you desolate";

καὶ δοὺς ἐφ' ὑμᾶς τοὺς ἐξ ἐθνῶν τὴν πνευματικὴν χάριν, ὡς λέγει διὰ Ἰωήλ· « Καὶ ἔσται μετὰ ταῦτα, λέγει ὁ Θεὸς, καὶ ἐκχεῶ ἀπὸ τοῦ πνεύματός μου ἐπὶ πᾶσαν σάρκα, καὶ προφητεύσουσιν οἱ υἱοὶ ὑμῶν, καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες ὑμῶν ὁράσεις ὄψονται, καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι ὑμῶν ἐνύπνια ἐνυπνιασθήσονται· » πᾶσαν γὰρ δύναμιν λόγου καὶ ἐνέργειαν, καὶ τὴν ποίαν δὲ ἐπισκοπὴν ἀπάρας ὁ Θεὸς ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ, εἰς ὑμᾶς τοὺς ἐξ ἐθνῶν ἔθετο. Διὰ γὰρ τοῦτο, ζηλώσας καὶ ὁ διάβολος τὴν ἁγίαν τοῦ Θεοῦ Ἐκκλησίαν, μετέστη εἰς ὑμᾶς, ἐπεγείρας ὑμῖν θλίψεις, διωγμοὺς, ἀκαταστασίας, βλασφημίας, σχίσματα, αἱρέσεις. Ἐκεῖνον γὰρ τὸν λαὸν διὰ τῆς χριστοκτονίας εἰς ἑαυτὸν ὑπηγάγετο· ὑμᾶς δὲ ἀποστάντας αὐτοῦ τῆς ματαιότητος, ἄλλοτε ἄλλως πειράζει, ὡς καὶ τὸν μακάριον Ἰώβ. Καὶ γὰρ τῷ μεγάλῳ ἀρχιερεῖ Ἰησοῦ τῷ τοῦ Ἰωσεδὲκ ἀντέκειτο· καὶ ἡμᾶς πολλάκις ἐξῃτήσατο ἐξυδαρωθῆναι, ὅπως ἐκλίπῃ ἡ πίστις ἡμῶν· ἀλλ' ὁ ἡμέτερος Κύριος καὶ διδάσκαλος, ἐν δίκῃ καταστήσας αὐτὸν, ἔλεγεν αὐτῷ· « Ἐπιτιμήσαι Κύριος ἐν σοὶ, διάβολε, καὶ ἐπιτιμήσαι Κύριος ἐν σοὶ, ὁ ἐκλεξάμενος τὴν Ἱερουσαλήμ· οὐκ ἰδοὺ τοῦτο ἐξεσπασμένον, ὡς δαλός; » Καὶ ὁ εἰπὼν τότε τοῖς παρεστῶσι τῷ ἀρχιερεῖ : « Περιέλετε τὰ ἱμάτια τὰ ῥυπαρὰ ἀπ' αὐτοῦ· » καὶ ἐπειπών· « Ἰδοὺ ἀφῄρηκα τὰς ἀνομίας σου ἀπὸ σοῦ· » οὗτος ἐρεῖ καὶ νῦν, ὡς καὶ πάλαι συνηθροισμένων ἡμῶν, ἔλεγεν περὶ ἡμῶν, ὅτι· « Ἐδεήθην, ἵνα μὴ ἐκλίπῃ ἡ πίστις ὑμῶν. »
and having given upon you who are from the nations the spiritual grace, as He says through Joel, "And it shall be after these things, says God, that I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons shall prophesy, and your daughters shall see visions, and your elders shall dream dreams"; for God, having removed from the people all power and working of the word, and visitation of whatever kind, placed it upon you who are from the nations. For on this account the devil also, having grown jealous of the holy Church of God, has shifted over to you, raising up against you afflictions, persecutions, disturbances, blasphemies, schisms, heresies. For that people he brought under himself through the slaying of Christ; but you, who have withdrawn from his vanity, he tempts now in one way and now in another, as he also did the blessed Job. For indeed he set himself against the great high priest Jesus the son of Josedek; and us he many times demanded, that we might be made as water, in order that our faith might fail; but our Lord and Teacher, having brought him to judgement, said to him, "The Lord rebuke you, O devil, and the Lord rebuke you, He Who has chosen Jerusalem; behold, is not this one plucked out, like a brand?" And He Who then said to those standing by the high priest, "Take the filthy garments away from him," and Who added, "Behold, I have taken your iniquities away from you," He will say it now also, as also of old, when we were gathered together, He said concerning us, "I have made entreaty, that your faith may not fail."
ΚΕΦΑΛΑΙΟΝ Ϛʹ. Ὅτι καὶ παρὰ Ἰουδαίοις συνέστη θεομισὴς διδασκαλία διαφόρων αἱρέσεων.
CHAPTER VI. That among the Jews also there arose a God-hated teaching of various heresies.
Εἶχε μὲν οὖν καὶ ὁ Ἰουδαϊκὸς ὄχλος αἱρέσεις κακίας. Καὶ γὰρ καὶ Σαδδουκαῖοι ἐξ αὐτῶν, οἱ μὴ ὁμολογοῦντες νεκρῶν ἀνάστασιν· καὶ Φαρισαῖοι, οἱ τύχῃ καὶ εἱμαρμένῃ ἐπιγράφοντες τὴν τῶν ἁμαρτανόντων πρᾶξιν· καὶ Βασμώθεοι, οἱ πρόνοιαν ἀρνούμενοι, ἐξ αὐτομάτου δὲ φορᾶς λέγοντες τὰ ὄντα συνεστάναι, καὶ ψυχῆς τὴν ἀθανασίαν περικόπτοντες· καὶ Ἡμεροβαπτισταὶ, οἵτινες καθ' ἑκάστην ἡμέραν,
Now the Jewish multitude also had heresies of wickedness. For indeed from among them are both the Sadducees, who do not confess a resurrection of the dead; and the Pharisees, who ascribe the action of those who sin to chance and fate; and the Basmotheans, who deny providence, and say that the things that exist came together from a self-moved impulse, and who cut away the immortality of the soul; and the Hemerobaptists, who on each day,

"Ascribing the conduct of sinners to fortune and fate." "This is the arrogance of the Pharisees, that they refer the sins of their own will to the wrong of the Creator, and slander His justice," says Jerome, Against the Pelagians II, 10. I know that the Pharisees (Josephus, Jewish Antiquities 13.9; 18.2; Jewish War 2.12) attribute certain human things to fate, not all; and that they so assign all things to fate that they do not wish free will to be taken away, and say that, with fate assisting in each thing, the power of acting well or ill for the most part remains in us. But those too who set out their teaching so intricately have deservedly (whatever they may have thought) been suspect, and still are. Epiphanius should be read. Cotelier.

The words were formed from the word "Sabbath," as was also the name Φιλοσαββάτιος in Epiphanius, heresy 51, no. 8. For these heretics kept the Sabbath, as we learn from the Indiculus. Hence they are also called Sabbatini in the Arabic Preface to the Council of Nicaea, which Abraham Ecchellensis translated into Latin. The same [Cotelier].

Νῦν φανέντες Ἐβιωναῖοι. Ebionitarum, Semi-Judaeorum, Semi-Christianorum, ideoque modo Judaeis adnumeratorum, modo Christianis, ortus melius referetur cum Epiphanio et Hieronymo ad tempora Joannis apostoli, quam ut in Chronico Alexandrino ad annum proximum a morte illius. Et benigno interprete eget illud Paciani epist. I, ad Sympronianum : Ut Judaeorum haereticos praetermittam, Dositheum Samaritanum, Sadducaeos, et Pharisaeos; quanti apostolorum temporibus emerserint, dinumerare perlongum est; Simon Magus, et Menander, et Nicolaus, et caeteri, quos fama recondit obscura. Quid posterioribus temporibus Ebion, et Apelles et Marcion, et Valentinus, et Cerdon; nec longe post eos, Cataphryges, et Novatiani. Hujus sectae princeps Ebion docuit suos, pari modo atque Cerinthus et Carpocrates, Christum ex Josepho et Maria, instar caeterorum hominum, genitum fuisse. Ubi corrigere oportet Irenaeum, lib. I, cap. 26, tollendo particulam negantem ex his verbis : Qui autem dicuntur Ebionaei, consentiunt quidem mundum a Deo factum : ea autem quae sunt erga Dominum, non similiter ut Cerinthus et Carpocrates opinantur. Patet per alia Irenaei loca. Postea divisi sunt Ebionaei, quia illorum nonnulli partus virginei miraculum agnoverunt. Joculari porro menda, in Paschasio Ratberto ad Matth. XXVI, 17, p. 1088, excusum invenies Obionitae pro Ebionitae. Id.

"The Ebionites who have now appeared." The rise of the Ebionites — half-Jews, half-Christians, and therefore reckoned now among the Jews, now among the Christians — will be better referred, with Epiphanius and Jerome, to the times of the apostle John than, as in the Chronicon Alexandrinum, to the year next after his death. And that passage of Pacian, letter 1, to Sympronianus, needs a kindly interpreter: "To pass over the heretics of the Jews, Dositheus the Samaritan, the Sadducees and the Pharisees; how many emerged in the times of the apostles it would take very long to count: Simon Magus, and Menander, and Nicolaus, and the rest whom obscure report hides away. What of Ebion in later times, and Apelles and Marcion, and Valentinus, and Cerdo; and not long after them the Cataphrygians and the Novatians." The chief of this sect, Ebion, taught his followers, in the same way as Cerinthus and Carpocrates, that Christ was begotten of Joseph and Mary, like other men. Here Irenaeus, book 1, chapter 26, must be corrected by removing the negative particle from these words: "Those who are called Ebionites agree indeed that the world was made by God; but as to what concerns the Lord they do not hold opinions like those of Cerinthus and Carpocrates." This is plain from other passages of Irenaeus. Afterwards the Ebionites were divided, because some of them acknowledged the miracle of the virgin birth. By a laughable misprint, moreover, in Paschasius Radbertus on Matthew 26:17, p. 1088, you will find printed Obionitae for Ebionitae. The same [Cotelier].

IV, de abstinentia a rebus animatis, indeque apud Eusebium Praepar. evangel. IX, 3 : Καὶ τοῖς ἔξωθεν ὡς μυστήριόν τι φρικτὸν, ἡ τῶν ἔνδον σιωπὴ καταφαίνεται. Τούτου δὲ αἴτιον, ἡ διηνεκὴς νῆψις. Eorumque silentium, vertit Rufinus, extra tectum constitutis, arcanum quoddam videatur horribile. Cujus quidem rei perpetua sobrietas causa est. Etenim in loco Josephi de somno ne verbum quidem : rectius tamen sobrietas dicitur esse causa somni brevis levisque, quam silentii. Amplius cogitemus. Nollem vero tantopere peccasse Hieronymum, virum sane maximum, sed fatali illa sua properantia saepe lapsum, quando Joviniano objicit : Josephus in secunda Judaicae captivitatis Historia, et in octavo decimo Antiquitatum libro, et contra Apionem duobus voluminibus, tria describit dogmata Judaeorum, Pharisaeos, Sadducaeos, Essenos : quorum novissimos miris effert laudibus, quod et ab uxoribus et vino et carnibus semper abstinuerint et quotidianum jejunium verterint in naturam. Super quorum vita et Philo, vir doctissimus, proprium volumen edidit. Silicet, nec disputans adversus Apionem Josephus mentionem fecit sectarum Judaicarum. Nec ullibi tradit Essenos vino et carnibus abstinuisse, aut quotidie jejunasse : imo contrarium edocet Περὶ ἁλώσεως, lib. II, cap. 12. Sed qui Esseni perpetuo jejunabant, nec unquam carne et vino utebantur, sunt illi a Philone Judaeo litteris commendati. Cot.

"Keeping the ancestral customs." Philo, describing the Essenes devoted to the active life: "They labour very diligently at ethics, using the ancestral laws as their trainers"; and in the description of the contemplative Essenes, "they philosophize the ancestral philosophy." The studious reader will mark the words of George Cedrenus, Basel edition p. 164, Royal edition p. 199: "With their accustomed silence and grave composure they come together again to the same place for prayers, to shake off the briefest and lightest sleep. The cause of which is their continual sobriety," etc., that is: "The Essenes, with their accustomed silence and seemly gravity, meet again for prayers, to shake off a very short and very light sleep. The cause of which thing is continual sobriety"; and ‹…head of the right column not in image…› are found also in Porphyry, book 4, On Abstinence from Animal Food, and thence in Eusebius, Praeparatio evangelica 9.3: "And to those outside, the silence of those within appears as some awful mystery. The cause of this is their continual sobriety." "And their silence," Rufinus translates, "seems to those placed outside the house a kind of dreadful secret. The cause of which thing is perpetual sobriety." For in the passage of Josephus there is not even a word about sleep; yet sobriety is more rightly said to be the cause of short and light sleep than of silence. Let us consider further. I could wish, indeed, that Jerome — a very great man assuredly, but one who often slipped through that fatal haste of his — had not erred so greatly when he objects to Jovinian: "Josephus, in the second [book of the] History of the Jewish Captivity, and in the eighteenth book of the Antiquities, and in the two volumes Against Apion, describes three schools of the Jews, Pharisees, Sadducees, Essenes; the last of whom he extols with wonderful praises, because they always abstained from wives and wine and flesh and turned daily fasting into a second nature. On whose life Philo too, a most learned man, published a volume of its own." In fact, Josephus in disputing against Apion made no mention of the Jewish sects. Nor does he anywhere relate that the Essenes abstained from wine and flesh, or fasted daily; rather he teaches the contrary in the Jewish War [Περὶ ἁλώσεως], book 2, chapter 12. But the Essenes who fasted perpetually and never used flesh and wine are those commended in writing by Philo the Jew. Cotelier.

"From Gitthae." "From Gitthae" [E Gitthis]: for I should prefer Γιτθῶν, although in George Syncellus, p. 331, Γητθῶν is read. I think the name of the place was גת [Gath], whence in the ecclesiastical writers the village is Γίττων, or Γιττῶν, Γιτθῶν, Γητθῶν; at p. 333 of Syncellus, Γητῶν, Γαιτθέων. In the chronicle of Eusebius, however, Γηθῶν, for which they have wrongly printed Γηθῶ. And in Timothy the presbyter, On the Reception of Heretics, Royal codex 2336, Γετθῶν, as in the Clementines 2.22, and also in Palladius, in the dialogue On the Life of St. Chrysostom, a little after the beginning, page 6 of the edition which our friend Bigot — most celebrated on the score of varied learning and happy curiosity — has in the press. So Josephus calls גת, the city of Palestine — which to him, and to Polybius in Stephanus, is Γίττα, to the translators of the Bible Γέθ and Geth, to Pliny Getta — also "the city of the Gittae" (Γιττῶν πόλιν).

unless they baptize themselves, do not eat, and moreover their couches and platters, or bowls and cups and seats, unless they have cleansed them with water, they use not one of them. And the Ebionites who have appeared now in our own time, who would have the Son of God to be a mere man, begetting Him from the pleasure of a man and the union of Joseph and Mary. But those who have separated themselves from all these, and keep the customs of their fathers, are the Essenes. These things, then, were among the former people. And now the evil one, being wise to do evil, and not knowing what the good is at all, having cast out some from among us, has wrought in them heresies and schisms.

(91) "The Ebionites who have now appeared." The rise of the Ebionites, half-Jews and half-Christians, and therefore reckoned now among the Jews, now among the Christians, will be better assigned, with Epiphanius and Jerome, to the times of the apostle John than, as in the Alexandrian Chronicle, to the year next after his death. And that saying of Pacian, letter I, to Sympronianus, needs a kindly interpreter: "To pass over the heretics of the Jews, Dositheus the Samaritan, the Sadducees and the Pharisees; how many arose in the times of the apostles it would be very long to count up: Simon Magus, and Menander, and Nicolaus, and the rest, whom an obscure report keeps hidden. What of Ebion in later times, and Apelles and Marcion, and Valentinus, and Cerdon; and, not long after them, the Cataphrygians and the Novatians." The chief of this sect, Ebion, taught his followers, in the same way as Cerinthus and Carpocrates, that Christ was begotten of Joseph and Mary, like other men. Here Irenaeus, book I, ch. 26, ought to be corrected by removing the negative particle from these words: "But those who are called Ebionites agree indeed that the world was made by God; but as to the things that concern the Lord, they do not hold opinions in like manner as Cerinthus and Carpocrates." This is plain from other passages of Irenaeus. Afterwards the Ebionites were divided, because some of them acknowledged the miracle of the virgin birth. By a laughable misprint, moreover, in Paschasius Radbertus on Matthew 26:17, p. 1088, you will find printed "Obionitae" for "Ebionitae". The same [Cotelier].

(92) "Keeping the ancestral customs." Philo, describing the Essenes devoted to action: "They labour very diligently at ethics, using the ancestral laws as their trainers"; and, in his description of the contemplative Essenes, "they pursue the ancestral philosophy". The studious reader will mark the words of George Cedrenus, Basel edition p. 164, but p. 199 of the Royal edition: "With their accustomed silence and dignified composure they come together again in one place for prayers, to shake off the briefest and lightest of slumbers. The cause of which is their continual sobriety", etc., that is: "The Essenes, with their accustomed silence and seemly gravity, assemble again for prayers, to shake off a very brief and very light sleep. Of which thing the cause is continual sobriety"; and these will be compared with the words of Josephus, On the Jewish War, book II, ch. 12, p. 786, from which they have been drawn, and which are also extant in Porphyry, book IV, On Abstinence from Animal Food, and thence in Eusebius, Preparation for the Gospel IX, 3: "And to those outside, the silence of those within appears as some awful mystery. And the cause of this is their continual sobriety." "And their silence", Rufinus renders, "would seem to those placed outside the house a kind of dreadful secret. Of which thing perpetual sobriety is the cause." For in the passage of Josephus there is not so much as a word about sleep; yet sobriety is more correctly said to be the cause of short and light sleep than of silence. Let us consider further. I could wish, indeed, that Jerome, a very great man assuredly, but one who often slipped through that fatal haste of his, had not erred so greatly when he objects to Jovinian: "Josephus, in the second History of the Jewish captivity, and in the eighteenth book of the Antiquities, and in the two volumes against Apion, describes three schools of the Jews, the Pharisees, the Sadducees, the Essenes; the last of whom he extols with wonderful praises, because they always abstained from wives and wine and flesh, and turned daily fasting into a second nature. On whose life Philo too, a most learned man, published a volume of his own." The fact is that Josephus, in arguing against Apion, made no mention of the Jewish sects. Nor does he anywhere relate that the Essenes abstained from wine and flesh, or fasted daily; on the contrary, he teaches the opposite in On the Capture, book II, ch. 12. But the Essenes who fasted perpetually, and never used flesh and wine, are those commended in the writings of Philo the Jew. Cotelier.

I think the name of the place was Gath [גת], whence among ecclesiastical writers "the village of the Gittae", or Γιττῶν, Γιτθῶν, Γητθῶν; at p. 333 of Syncellus, Γητῶν, Γαιτθίων. In Eusebius's Chronicle, however, Γηθῶν, for which they have wrongly printed Γηθῶ. And in Timothy the presbyter, On the Reception of Heretics, Royal codex 2336, Γετθῶν, as in the Clementines II, 22, and also in Palladius, in the dialogue On the Life of St Chrysostom, a little after the beginning, p. 6 of the edition which our friend Bigot has in the press, a man most renowned on the score of varied learning and happy curiosity. So Josephus also calls Gath [גת], a city of Palestine, which is Γίττα to him and to Polybius in Stephanus, Γὲθ and Geth to the translators of the Bible, and Getta to Pliny, "the city of the Gittae".

Now when Philip, our fellow apostle, by the gift of the Lord and by the working of His Spirit, was performing mighty works of healing in Samaria, so that the Samaritans, struck with amazement, came to faith in the God of the universe and in the Lord Jesus, and were baptized into His name; and when Simon himself also had by now beheld signs and wonders being accomplished without any sorcerer's trickery, and had fallen into wonder, and had believed, and been baptized, and was persevering in fasting and in prayer: we, having heard of the grace of God that had come to the Samaritans through Philip, came to them, and contributing much by the word of teaching, laying our hands on all who had been baptized, we bestowed by prayers the participation of the Spirit. But Simon, seeing that through the laying on of our hands the Spirit is given to those who believe, took money and brought it to us, saying: "Give to me also this power, that whoever I too lay my hand upon may receive the Holy Spirit"; wishing, just as he deprived Adam, by the tasting of the tree, of the immortality that was according to promise,

"Our fellow apostle." A signal example of those who rashly either acquit or condemn the teachers of the Church is supplied to us by Rufinus, Cedrenus and Nicephorus, in what in Eusebius concerns the Philips of the New Testament, the apostle and the deacon. For Rufinus, translating that saying of Polycrates, bishop of the Ephesians, reported in Eusebius's History, book 3, chapter 31, and book 5, chapter 24 — "Philip, one of the twelve apostles" — in order to cover the error of the two Philips confused into one, and of the daughters given to the apostle which were the deacon's, suppressed the number in the first place: "who was," he says, "one of the apostles"; and in the second, much worse, changed "one of the twelve apostles" into "the evangelist." And with greater offence the same passage is cited in this fashion by Cedrenus, Basel edition p. 203, Royal 247: "Philip, who was of the seven deacons," "one of the seven deacons." On the other side Nicephorus, History, book 3, chapter 20, not having understood the words of Eusebius, book 3, last chapter — which Rufinus too corrupted after his manner — accuses Papias and sets him at odds with Luke, as though he had written that Philip the father of the prophetess daughters was one of the twelve apostles, and not, as Luke relates in Acts, one of the seven deacons. I come now to the constitution; and I say that, since it is certain, and has been observed by many of the ancients as well, that the name of apostle is given also to apostolic men, such as was Philip the deacon and preacher of the Gospel, this author of the Constitutions, Clement of Alexandria (Stromata 3, p. 448), Tertullian (chapter 18 of the book On Baptism), Chrysostom (homily 35 on Genesis), Burchard in the Description of the Holy Land, and any others there may be, were perhaps free from error — if, that is, understanding Philip the deacon, they called him an apostle and joined him with the greater apostles. Below, certainly, in the last book, last chapter, the Philip who baptized the eunuch of Queen Candace is called a deacon; so that it should no longer be asserted, after Bellarmine, that our author made Philip the baptizer of Simon Magus an apostle because he wished baptism to be conferred by priests alone. The case is different both with Augustine and with pseudo-Epiphanius, pseudo-Dorotheus, pseudo-Isidore or Isidore, the Greek who inserted some things into Jerome's Catalogue, and Freculf. St. Augustine, in tractate 6 on John, is in doubt about Philip, the herald of Christ in Samaria and the one who led Simon to the faith (Acts 8), whether he was one of the apostles or of the deacons; and at the beginning of the work On Christian Doctrine he calls him an apostle; but in the sermon on the Vigil of Pentecost, having weighed the matter more carefully, he favours the true opinion. The others mentioned were plainly led astray by the authority of the Ecclesiastical History and of Jerome's Catalogue under Polycrates. The little book entitled "Of Saint Epiphanius, bishop of Cyprus, on the holy apostles, where each preached, and how and where they died, and where their holy bodies lie and in what places," in codex 1026 of the Royal Library: "This Philip the apostle was from Bethsaida, of the village of Peter and Andrew; he preached the Gospel in upper Phrygia; he dies in Hierapolis, and is buried there with honour together with his own." The so-called Dorotheus, in the Royal parchments: "Philip the apostle, having preached the Gospel in Phrygia, is buried in Hierapolis with his seven daughters, whom Luke the evangelist mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles." He did not notice — as neither did Eusebius, book 3, chapter 31 — what is rightly objected by Notker the martyrologist and is plain of itself, that Luke in Acts 21:8–9 speaks of Philip, one of the seven deacons. Hence the citation of Luke is absent from the Latin Dorotheus; and Nicephorus, book 2, chapter 44, drew the words of Eusebius to the contrary sense. Moreover, the passage of Ado in the book On the Festivals has always been suspected by me of interpolation, where Philip the apostle is said "to have fallen asleep at Hierapolis, a city of Asia, buried with his fathers after a blessed end." And that for two reasons. Of which the first is the similar passages: of Dorotheus (to pass over Jerome and Abdias): "but at Hierapolis he was honourably buried with his daughters." What stands in Greek in the enlargement of the Catalogue; of Rufinus translating Eusebius: "whose tomb (continues)

pulcrum est apud Hierapolim Asiae urbem, una cum filiabus suis : Isidori De vita et morte sanctorum cap. 75, et Freculfi in Chronicis : simul cum filiabus suis ibidem requiescit.

is at Hierapolis, a city of Asia, together with his daughters"; of Isidore, On the Life and Death of the Saints, chapter 75, and of Freculf in the Chronicle: "he rests in the same place together with his daughters." The second reason is these words of the same Ado under Philip the deacon: "He came to rest at Caesarea. Beside him lie buried his three virgin daughters, prophetesses; for his fourth daughter, full of the Holy Spirit, died at Ephesus. Some, however, think they were buried at Hierapolis, where the apostle Philip, one of the twelve, rests; whose daughters they have been thought by some writers to have been." I used to conjecture that filiabus ("daughters") had been struck out by some later hand and patribus ("fathers") brought in. But let the judgement rest with the more learned and the more prudent.

"Cleobius." To the passages on Cleobius or Cleobulus which the most learned Ussher cites on the Ignatian Epistle to the Trallians, add two of Theodoret, Compendium of Heretical Fables, book 1, chapter 1 — where I would write not Κλεοβανοί, as commonly, but Κλεοβιανοί, which Rufinus and Nicephorus also read in Eusebius — and book 2, in the preface. Likewise another of Sophronius in the sixth general synod, and another of Nicetas Pectoratus in the book against the Latins. The author of the Opus imperfectum, on Matthew 24:5: "This the Apostle also said to those who lived before Jerusalem was taken, because false Christs were first to come. For this was the first sign of the destruction of Jerusalem. Which truly came to pass. For there came Dositheus, and Simon, and Cleonius, and Varisuas in the name of Christ, and many others, whom the Apostle touches on in his Epistles." Who would not see at once the true reading, Cleovius, that is, Cleobius? But over the more recondite emendation of the following name I stuck for some time, not knowing how to extricate myself, until — not unhappily, unless I am mistaken — there came to mind the notorious impostors Varjesus (Barjesus) and Varchosivas (Barchosibas, Barchozibas, otherwise Barchochebas).

"To Dositheus." He is also called Δοσθής by Eulogius in Photius; whence Δοσθηνοί in the same place, and in the parchment copy of Damascene's book On Heresies in the Royal Library. Concerning Dositheus and the Dositheans, the things that meet us in apparent conflict in various writers — pseudo-Clement, Tertullian, Origen, Eusebius, Pacian, Epiphanius, Chrysostom in the Catena on Matthew, pseudo-Chrysostom on the same Evangelist, Jerome, Theodoret, Vigilius of Thapsus, Sophronius, Damascene, Photius, Theophanes Cerameus, Theophylact, Nicetas Choniates, Nicephorus, and the author of the Samaritan Chronicle cited by Ecchellensis on Hebedjesu — will be reconciled with little trouble if two Dosithei are admitted, each a heresiarch, an assailant of the prophetic books and a corrupter of sacred Scripture. The first, before Christ, a Samaritan from being a Jew, and the origin of the Sadducees, who acknowledged the resurrection of the flesh and taught strictness of morals, abstinence from animal food, fasting, virginity and continence. The other, after the birth of Christ, a false Christ, a Samaritan, at first the master of Simon Magus and afterwards his disciple, who denied the resurrection of bodies, the immortality of the soul, and the substance of angels and demons, but asserted that the world is incorruptible. These things being so settled, we shall convict Philastrius of error for assigning to the old Dositheus what ought to have been attributed to the later one. Indeed, by Theodoret and Sophronius too Dositheus and the Dositheans are less accurately placed after Simon and the Simonians. The same [Cotelier].

οὕτω καὶ ἡμᾶς τῇ λήψει τῶν χρημάτων θέλξας, τῆς δόσεως τοῦ Θεοῦ περιγράψαι, ὅπως ἀντικαταλλαξάμενοι ἀποδώμεθα αὐτῷ χρημάτων τὴν ἀτίμητον τοῦ Πνεύματος δωρεάν. Πάντων δὲ ἡμῶν ἐπὶ τουτῳ ταραχθέντων, ἀτενίσας ἐγὼ Πέτρος εἰς τὸν ἐν αὐτῷ κακοῦργον ὄφιν, εἶπον τῷ Σίμωνι· « Τὸ ἀργύριόν σου σὺν σοὶ εἴη εἰς ἀπώλειαν, ὅτι τὴν δωρεὰν τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐνόμισας διὰ χρημάτων κτᾶσθαι· οὐκ ἔστι σοι μερὶς ἐν τῷ λόγῳ τούτῳ, οὐδὲ κλῆρος ἐν τῇ πίστει ταύτῃ· ἡ γὰρ καρδία σου οὐκ ἔστιν εὐθεῖα ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ. Μετανόησον οὖν ἀπὸ τῆς κακίας σου ταύτης, καὶ δεήθητι τοῦ Κυρίου, εἰ ἄρα ἀφεθήσεταί σοι ἡ ἐπίνοια τῆς καρδίας σου· εἰς γὰρ χολὴν πικρίας καὶ σύνδεσμον ἀδικίας θεωρῶ σε ὄντα. » Ἀλλὰ τότε μὲν ὁ Σίμων ἔμφοβος γενόμενος, φησί· « Παρακαλῶ, δεήθητε ὑμεῖς ὑπὲρ ἐμοῦ πρὸς τὸν Κύριον, ὅπως μηδὲν ἐπέλθῃ ἐπ' ἐμὲ, ὧν εἰρήκατε. »
so also, having beguiled us by the taking of the money, to cut us off from the gift of God, in order that, making an exchange, we might sell to him for money the priceless gift of the Spirit. But when we were all troubled at this, I Peter, looking intently at the mischievous serpent that was in him, said to Simon: "May your silver be with you unto destruction, because you have supposed that the gift of God is acquired by money; you have no part in this word, nor lot in this faith; for your heart is not straight before God. Repent therefore of this wickedness of yours, and beseech the Lord, if perhaps the device of your heart will be forgiven you; for I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and the bond of unrighteousness." But then Simon, becoming afraid, says: "I entreat you, pray for me to the Lord, that nothing may come upon me of the things you have spoken."

Ἡνίκα δὲ ἐξήλθομεν ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι κηρύσσειν τὸν λόγον τῆς ζωῆς, τότε ἐνήργησεν ὁ διάβολος εἰς τὸν λαὸν ἀποστεῖλαι ὀπίσω ἡμῶν ψευδαποστόλους εἰς βεβήλωσιν τοῦ λόγου· καὶ προεβάλοντο Κλεόβιόν τινα, καὶ παρέζευξαν τῷ Σίμωνι· οὗτοι δὲ μαθητεύουσιν Δοσιθέῳ τινὶ, ὃν καὶ παρευδοκιμήσαντες ἐξώσαντο τῆς ἀρχῆς.

Now when we went forth among the nations to preach the word of life, then the devil worked upon the people to send after us false apostles for the profanation of the word; and they put forward a certain Cleobius, and yoked him with Simon; and these are disciples of a certain Dositheus, whom they also surpassed in repute and thrust out from the first place. Then others also began other outlandish

Secunda causa, ejusdem Adonis verba haec in Philippo diacono : Apud Caesaream requievit. Juxta quem tres virgines filiae ipsius prophetissae tumulatae jacent : nam quarta filia illius plena Spiritu sancto in Epheso occubuit.

… "is at Hierapolis, a city of Asia, together with his daughters"; those of Isidore, On the Life and Death of the Saints, ch. 75, and of Freculf in the Chronicles: "together with his daughters he rests in the same place." The second reason: these words of the same Ado on Philip the deacon: "He came to rest at Caesarea. Beside him lie buried three virgins, his daughters, prophetesses; for his fourth daughter, full of the Holy Spirit, died at Ephesus. Some, however, think that they were buried at Hierapolis, where the apostle Philip, one of the twelve, rests; whose daughters they have been thought by some writers to have been." I was conjecturing that "filiabus" had been struck out by some more recent hand and "patribus" brought in. But let the judgement rest with the more learned and the more prudent. Cotelier.

Κλεόβιον. Ad loca quae de Cleobio sive Cleobulo doctissimus Usserius citat in Epistolam Ignatianam ad Trallianos, adde duo Theodoriti, Haereticarum fabularum lib. I, cap. 1, ubi non scripserim ut vulgo Κλεοβανοί, sed Κλεοβιανοί, quod etiam apud Eusebium legebant Rufinus ac Nicephorus et lib. II in praefatione. Item alium Sophronii in synodo generali sexta, et alium Nicetae Pectorati libro contra Latinos. Auctor Operis imperfecti, ad Matth. XXIV, 5 : Hoc et Apostolus dixit his qui fuerunt antequam caperetur Jerusalem, quia prius venturi fuerant pseudo-Christi. Etenim hoc erat signum primum destructionis Jerusalem. Quod vere factum est. Venerunt enim Dositheus, et Simon, et Cleonius, et Varisuas in nomine Christi, et alii multi, quos Apostolus in Epistolis suis tangit. Quis non videat statim veram lectionem, Cleovius, qui est Cleobius? Sed in nominis sequentis reconditiori emendatione aliquandiu haesi, nescius quo me pacto expedirem : donec non infeliciter, ni fallor, subierunt mentem famosi impostores Varjesus, Barjesus, et Varchosivas, Barchosibas, Barchozibas, aliter Barchochebas.

"Cleobius." To the passages about Cleobius or Cleobulus which the most learned Ussher cites on the Ignatian Epistle to the Trallians, add two of Theodoret, Compendium of Heretical Fables, book I, ch. 1, where I would not write, as is commonly done, Κλεοβανοί, but Κλεοβιανοί, which Rufinus and Nicephorus also read in Eusebius, and book II, in the preface. Likewise another of Sophronius, in the sixth general synod, and another of Nicetas Pectoratus, in the book against the Latins. The author of the Opus imperfectum, on Matthew 24:5: "This the Apostle also said to those who lived before Jerusalem was taken, because false Christs were to come first. For this was the first sign of the destruction of Jerusalem. And this truly came to pass. For there came Dositheus, and Simon, and Cleonius, and Varisuas in the name of Christ, and many others, whom the Apostle touches on in his Epistles." Who would not see at once the true reading, Cleovius, that is, Cleobius? But over the more recondite emendation of the name that follows I stuck for some time, not knowing how I might extricate myself; until, not unhappily, if I am not mistaken, there came to mind the notorious impostors Varjesus, Barjesus, and Varchosivas, Barchosibas, Barchozibas, otherwise Barchochebas.

Primus ante Christum, ex Judaeo Samaritanus, et origo Sadducaeorum, qui resurrectionem carnis agnoverit, docueritque severitatem morum, abstinentiam ab animatis, jejunium, virginitatem et continentiam. Alter post ortum Christi, pseudo-Christus, Samarita, Simonis Magi primo magister, postea discipulus, qui negaverit resurrectionem corporum, animae immortalitatem, substantiam angelorum ac daemonum, asseruerit vero mundum esse incorruptibilem. His ita constitutis, erroris arguemus Philastrium, quod veteri Dositheo ea assignet quae recentiori fuerant tribuenda. Quin etiam a Theodorito ac Sophronio minus accurate Dositheus et Dositheani ponuntur post Simonem et Simonianos. Id.

"To Dositheus." He is also called Δοσθής by Eulogius in Photius; whence Δοσθηνοί in the same place, and in the parchment copy of Damascene's book On Heresies in the Royal Library. Concerning Dositheus and the Dositheans, the things that occur in various writers and seem at first sight to conflict (pseudo-Clement, Tertullian, Origen, Eusebius, Pacian, Epiphanius, Chrysostom in the Catena on Matthew, pseudo-Chrysostom on the same Evangelist, Jerome, Theodoret, Vigilius of Thapsus, Sophronius, Damascene, Photius, Theophanes Cerameus, Theophylact, Nicetas Choniates, Nicephorus, and the author of the Samaritan Chronicle cited by Ecchellensis on Ebedjesu) will be reconciled with little trouble, if two Dosithei are admitted, each a heresiarch, an assailant of the prophetic books, and a corrupter of sacred Scripture. The first, before Christ, a Jew turned Samaritan, and the origin of the Sadducees, who acknowledged the resurrection of the flesh, and taught strictness of morals, abstinence from living creatures, fasting, virginity and continence. The other, after the birth of Christ, a false Christ, a Samaritan, at first the master of Simon Magus, afterwards his disciple, who denied the resurrection of bodies, the immortality of the soul, and the substance of angels and demons, but asserted that the world is incorruptible. These things being so settled, we shall convict Philastrius of error, in that he assigns to the old Dositheus what ought to have been attributed to the later one. Moreover, Dositheus and the Dositheans are placed less accurately by Theodoret and Sophronius after Simon and the Simonians. The same [Cotelier].

Confirmatur nostra opinio auctoritate Hieronymi, in locis citatis; itemque in Catalogo scriptorum ecclesiasticorum, ubi Priscillianus dicitur accusari Gnosticae, id est, Basilidis et Marci (ita veteres editiones cum libris Regiis) haereseos, de quibus Irenaeus scripsit.

‹…not in image…› [and Hel]pidius instructed Priscillian, is reported by Severus: with great carelessness about the times, if he means our magician; but on an uncertain report, and one nearer to falsehood, if he means another; since it becomes far more likely, indeed is all but established, that this heresy, sown in Spain by the disciples of Marcus or by other Gnostics, and perhaps secretly preserved there, sprouted again through the perverse zeal of Agape, Helpidius, Priscillian and others besides. So much so that, on the occasion of the old Marcus being insufficiently known, this later, supposititious Marcus came forth — perhaps believed in also by Idacius, in Isidore, chapter 2 of the book On Illustrious Men, as a man of Memphis, most skilled in magic, a disciple of Mani and the master of Priscillian: for so certain codices of Isidore have it, while some other codices of the same treatise make Marcus the master of Mani and of Priscillian, which could be said of the ancient one. Our opinion is confirmed by the authority of Jerome in the places cited; and likewise in the Catalogue of Ecclesiastical Writers, where Priscillian is said to be accused of the Gnostic heresy, that is, that of Basilides and Marcus (so the old editions, with the Royal books), about whom Irenaeus wrote. For the rest, the heretics named from Marcus are Marciani in Justin, Marcosii in Epiphanius, Marcitae in Augustine, Marcunii in the Arabic Nicene canon 30 of Torres's edition, and finally Marcosaei in Damascene and Timothy the presbyter.

Μένανδρος. Huic patria fuit כפרת [Hebrew letters indistinct in the image], opinor : Graece κώμη Καππαρεταίας, Καπαρατταίας, Καππαραττέας, Καπαρατέας (sic praestat legere in Nicephoro, quam Καπαρατέως), Καππαρατθέας, Καππαραθέας, et Timotheo presbytero mss. Καπερέτας. Longius abit Theodoritus. Μένανδρος, inquit, Σαμαρείτης, ἀπὸ Χαβραῒ κώμης. Quid si scriptum ab eo, Χαφράτ, et postea ex φ, factum β, ex ϊ, τ. Dicti autem sunt Menandri sectatores, Menandriani. Item Menandrianistae ab Hegesippo Eusebianae historiae lib. iv, cap. 22 : ἀπὸ τούτων Μενανδριανισταί : cujus vocis divisio in duas, quasi prima syllaba esset particula μέν, peperit Adrianistas haereticos, cum Adriano haeresiarcha; ut videre est apud Theodoritum, Haereticarum fabularum, lib. i, cap. 1; lib. ii in praefatione, apud Sophronium Epistola ad Sergium, et apud Nicephorum Hist. eccles. iv, 7. Id.

"Menander." His native place was, I think, [Hebrew name, apparently "Kaphrath"]: in Greek the village of Καππαρεταία, Καπαρατταία, Καππαραττέα, Καπαρατέα (so it is better to read in Nicephorus than Καπαρατέως), Καππαρατθέα, Καππαραθέα, and in the manuscripts of Timothy the presbyter Καπερέτα. Theodoret goes further astray. "Menander," he says, "a Samaritan, from the village of Chabrai." What if he wrote Χαφράτ, and afterwards β was made out of φ, and out of ϊ, τ? The followers of Menander were called Menandrians. Likewise "Menandrianists" by Hegesippus, in Eusebius's History, book 4, chapter 22: "from these, the Menandrianists"; the division of which word into two, as though the first syllable were the particle μέν, gave birth to the "Adrianist" heretics, with a heresiarch Adrian, as may be seen in Theodoret, Compendium of Heretical Fables, book 1, chapter 1, and book 2 in the preface; in Sophronius, Letter to Sergius; and in Nicephorus, Ecclesiastical History 4.7.

Βασιλείδης. Accipe verba S. Hieronymi libro De scriptoribus Ecclesiasticis, sed emendatiora, meo quidem judicio, quam excusa sint. Agrippa cognomento Castor, vir valde doctus, adversum viginti quatuor Basilidis haeretici volumina, quae in Evan- ‹…head of the right column not in image…› in Alexandria commoratur : a quo Gnostici...... Chochebas dux Judaicae factionis nolentes sibi Christianos adversum Romanum militem ferre subsidium, omnimodis cruciatibus necat. Nec enim ovum ovo similius, quam haec duo loca inter se sunt. Quia denique ex Stromateo Clemente colligi datur lib. vii, p. 764, Basilidem usque ad tempora Antonini Pii vitam produxisse. Atque hinc patet, quemadmodum legi debeat in Haereseon indiculo, qui Hieronymo tribuitur; scilicet : Contra hunc Basilidem Agrippa, cognomento Castor, vir valde doctus, scribit, prodens universa ejus mysteria, et prophetas enumerans, Barcabbam, et Barcop, et ad terrorem audientium alia etiam nomina barbara, religione composita; nominans etiam Deum maximum Abraxas, quasi annum continentem, si juxta Graecorum numerum computetur. Nec minus claret, mendose apud Philastrium, ubi de Nicolao et Gnosticis, Barrabam vel Barrabbam locum occupare Barcabae seu Barcabbae : quod nominis auctore Epiphanio haeresi 26, num. 2, significat Syriace filium stupri, Hebraice filium homicidii. Retrahendo denique syllabam fugitivam ne, scribendum in Anonymo, quem Sirmondus sub titulo Praedestinati vulgavit, haeresi 3 : Quod nomen Graeca ratione litterarum in hanc summam supputando pertingit. Id.

"Basilides." Take the words of St. Jerome in the book On Ecclesiastical Writers, but more correct, in my judgement at least, than they have been printed: "Agrippa, surnamed Castor, a very learned man, against the twenty-four volumes of the heretic Basilides which [he wrote] on the Gos- ‹…head of the right column not in image…› "dwells in Alexandria: from whom the Gnostics...... Chochebas, leader of the Jewish faction, puts to death with every kind of torture the Christians who are unwilling to bring him aid against the Roman soldiery." For one egg is not more like another than these two passages are like each other. Since, finally, it may be gathered from Clement in the Stromata, book 7, p. 764, that Basilides prolonged his life to the times of Antoninus Pius. And hence it is plain how one ought to read in the Indiculus of Heresies attributed to Jerome, namely: "Against this Basilides Agrippa, surnamed Castor, a very learned man, writes, disclosing all his mysteries and enumerating his prophets, Barcabbas and Barcop, and, to terrify his hearers, other barbarous names as well, composed with religious awe; naming also the supreme God Abraxas, as containing the year, if it be reckoned according to the Greek numeration." Nor is it less clear that in Philastrius, where he treats of Nicolaus and the Gnostics, Barrabas or Barrabbas wrongly occupies the place of Barcabas or Barcabbas: a name which, on the authority of Epiphanius, heresy 26, no. 2, signifies in Syriac "son of fornication," in Hebrew "son of murder." Finally, by bringing back the runaway syllable ne, one should write in the Anonymous whom Sirmond published under the title Praedestinatus, heresy 3: "which name, by the Greek value of its letters, reaches this sum when reckoned up." The same.

Id.

"Satornilus." As Saturninus is very well known, so the Stratonicus who occupies the margin is most obscure — a fictitious heretic, as it seems; unless someone, by guesswork, should wish to refer hither the Stratiotici of Epiphanius, Theodoret and Sophronius, called "Soldiers" by Philastrius "because they were of the military," perhaps akin to the Haematites in Clement of Alexandria at the end of Stromata 7.

Suspicari vero quis posset, Cerinthum per ludibrium et opprobrium accepisse nomen Merinthi, Μηρίνθου, id est, laquei. Sed arbitrarium hoc sit: Haud dubium certe, quin Cerinthi nomen exciderit e scholis Maximi ad Dionysii epistolam 8, quod paraphrasis Georgii Pachymerae, retinet, atque etiam mss. codices. COT.

(3) Cerinthus. St Epiphanius does not know whether Merinthus is the same as Cerinthus, or another heretic, distinct from him, of the same opinion. One might indeed suspect that Cerinthus received, by way of mockery and reproach, the name of Merinthus, Μηρίνθου, that is, of "the snare". But let this be a matter of free judgement. There is certainly no doubt that the name of Cerinthus has dropped out of the scholia of Maximus on the eighth epistle of Dionysius, a name which the paraphrase of George Pachymeres retains, and the manuscript codices as well.

Adeo ut occasione veteris Marci non satis cogniti, recentior iste Marcus hypobolimaeus prodierit: nescio an creditus quoque Idacio apud Isidorum cap. II libri De Viris illustribus, tanquam Memphiticus, magiae scientissimus, discipulus Manis, et magister Priscilliani: ita enim quidam codices Isidori; cum alii nonnulli codices ejusdem tractatus faciant Marcum Manis et Priscilliani magistrum, quod de antiquo dici queat. Confirmatur nostra opinio auctoritate Hieronymi, in locis citatis; itemque in Catalogo scriptorum ecclesiasticorum, ubi Priscillianus dicitur accusari Gnosticae, id est, Basilidis et Marci (ita veteres editiones cum libris Regiis) haereseos, de quibus Irenaeus scripsit. Caeterum a Marco haeretici, Justino sunt Marciani, Epiphanio Marcosii, Augustino Marcitae, Marcunii in canone Nicaeno Arabico 30. Turrianinae editionis, denique Marcosaei Damasceno atque Timotheo presbytero. ID.

(4) Marcus. Of the many things pertaining to this Marcus the Magician which we learn from the work of the martyr Irenaeus Against Heresies, one is the deception of a good many women by the Rhône through his disciples. Jerome wonderfully enlarges and amplifies this in words in Epistle 29, and towards the end of the seventeenth book of the Commentaries on Isaiah; and, trusting too much to his memory, he fastens upon Irenaeus, among other things, a journey of Marcus the Egyptian into the Gauls and the Spains. Now, that Marcus of Memphis was the first to bring the heresy of the Gnostics to the Spaniards, and that his hearers Agape and Helpidius instructed Priscillian, is related by Severus: with great carelessness of the times, if he means our magician; but on a report uncertain and nearer to falsehood, if another; since it becomes far more probable, indeed it is all but established, that this heresy, sown in Spain by the disciples of Marcus or by other Gnostics, and perhaps secretly preserved there, sprouted again through the perverse zeal of Agape, Helpidius, Priscillian and others besides. So that, by occasion of the old Marcus not sufficiently known, this more recent, supposititious Marcus came forth: believed in also, I rather think, by Idacius in Isidore, chapter II of the book On Illustrious Men, as a man of Memphis, most skilled in magic, a disciple of Manes and the master of Priscillian; for so certain codices of Isidore have it, whereas some other codices of the same treatise make Marcus the master of Manes and of Priscillian, which could be said of the ancient one. Our opinion is confirmed by the authority of Jerome, in the places cited; and likewise in the Catalogue of Ecclesiastical Writers, where Priscillian is said to be accused of the Gnostic heresy, that is, that of Basilides and Marcus (so the old editions together with the Royal books), about whom Irenaeus wrote. For the rest, the heretics named from Marcus are Marcians to Justin, Marcosii to Epiphanius, Marcitae to Augustine, Marcunii in the thirtieth Arabic Nicene canon of Turrianus's edition, and finally Marcosaeans to the Damascene and to Timothy the presbyter. THE SAME.

(5) Μένανδρος. Huic patria fuit כפרת, opinor: Graece κώμη Καππαρεταίας, Καπαρατταίας, Καππαραττέας, Καπαρατέας (sic praestat legere in Nicephoro, quam Καπαρατέως), Καππαρατθέας, Καππαραθέας, et Timotheo presbytero mss. Καπερέτας. Longius abit Theodoritus. Μένανδρος, inquit, Σαμαρείτης, ἀπὸ Χαβραῒ κώμης. Quid si scriptum ab eo, Χαφράτ, et postea ex φ, factum β, ex ῖ, τ. Dicti autem sunt Menandri sectatores, Menandriani. Item Menandrianistae ab Hegesippo Eusebianae historiae lib. IV, cap. 22: ἀπὸ τούτων Μενανδριανισταί: cujus vocis divisio in duas, quasi prima syllaba esset particula μέν, peperit Adrianistas haereticos, cum Adriano haeresiarcha; ut videre est apud Theodoritum, Haereticarum fabularum, lib. I, cap. 1; lib. II in praefatione, apud Sophronium Epistola ad Sergium, et apud Nicephorum Hist. eccles. IV, 7. ID.

(5) Menander. His native place was, I think, כפרת: in Greek the village of Kapparetaia, Kaparattaia, Kapparattea, Kaparatea (it is better to read thus in Nicephorus than Καπαρατέως), Kapparatthea, Kapparathea, and, in the manuscripts of Timothy the presbyter, Kapereta. Theodoret goes further afield. "Menander," he says, "a Samaritan, from the village of Chabrai." What if he wrote Χαφράτ, and afterwards β was made out of φ, and out of ι, τ? Now the followers of Menander were called Menandrians. Likewise Menandrianists by Hegesippus, in Eusebius's History, book IV, chapter 22: "from these the Menandrianists"; the division of which word into two, as though the first syllable were the particle μέν, begot the Adrianist heretics, with an Adrian as heresiarch; as may be seen in Theodoret, Of Heretical Fables, book I, chapter 1, and book II in the preface, in Sophronius, Epistle to Sergius, and in Nicephorus, Eccl. Hist. IV, 7. THE SAME.

(6) Βασιλείδης. Accipe verba S. Hieronymi libro De scriptoribus Ecclesiasticis, sed emendatiora, meo quidem judicio, quam excusa sint. Agrippa cognomento Castor, vir valde doctus, adversum viginti quatuor Basilidis haeretici volumina, quae in Evangelium confecerat, fortissime disseruit, prodens ejus universa mysteria, et prophetas enumerans, Barcabam, et Barcop; et ad terrorem audientium alia quaedam barbara nomina; et Deum maximum ejus Abraxas, qui quasi annum continens, juxta Graecorum numerum supputetur. Moratus est autem Basilides, a quo Gnostici, in Alexandria, temporibus Hadriani: qua tempestate et Chochebas (ms. Germani Chozehas ut in Historia Miscella), dux Judaicae factionis, Christianos variis suppliciis enecavit. Posui primo Barcop, loco Marcob. Barchob, vel Barchon in Freculfo; ut responderet Βαρκώφ Eusebii Hist. IV, 7, ac Theodoriti Haeret. fabul. I, 4, quod ex Eusebio Praepar. evang. X. 5; et Hieronymo epist. 155, interpretari licet filium vocationis. Secundo posui moratus est, non ut vulgo mortuus est; quia sic reperi in quinque codicibus manu exaratis, Regiis quatuor, et uno Bibliothecae monachorum S. Germani; et quia idem Hieronymus vertens Chronica Eusebii hoc modo loquitur: Basilides haeresiarches in Alexandria commoratur: a quo Gnostici...... Chochebas dux Judaicae factionis nolentes sibi Christianos adversum Romanum militem ferre subsidium, omnimodis cruciatibus necat. Nec enim ovum ovo similius, quam haec duo loca inter se sunt. Quia denique ex Stromateo Clemente colligi datur lib. VII, p. 764, Basilidem usque ad tempora Antonini Pii vitam produxisse. Atque hinc patet, quemadmodum legi debeat in Haereseon indiculo, qui Hieronymo tribuitur; scilicet: Contra hunc Basilidem Agrippa, cognomento Castor, vir valde doctus, scribit, prodens universa ejus mysteria, et prophetas enumerans, Barcabbam, et Barcop, et ad terrorem audientium alia etiam nomina barbara, religione composita; nominans etiam Deum maximum Abraxas, quasi annum continentem, si juxta Graecorum numerum computetur. Nec minus claret, mendose apud Philastrium, ubi de Nicolao et Gnosticis, Barrabam vel Barrabbam locum occupare Barcabae seu Barcabbae: quod nominis auctore Epiphanio haeresi 26, num. 2, significat Syriace filium stupri, Hebraice filium homicidii. Retrahendo denique syllabam fugitivam ne, scribendum in Anonymo, quem Sirmondus sub titulo Praedestinati vulgavit, haeresi 3: Quod nomen Graeca ratione litterarum in hanc summam supputando pertingit. ID.

(6) Basilides. Take the words of St Jerome in the book On Ecclesiastical Writers, but more correct, in my judgement at least, than they have been printed. "Agrippa, surnamed Castor, a very learned man, argued most forcibly against the twenty-four volumes of the heretic Basilides, which he had composed upon the Gospel, exposing all his mysteries, and enumerating his prophets, Barcabas and Barcop; and, for the terror of his hearers, certain other barbarous names; and his greatest God Abraxas, who, as though containing the year, is reckoned according to the numeration of the Greeks. Now Basilides, from whom the Gnostics come, sojourned in Alexandria in the times of Hadrian: at which period also Chochebas" (the Saint-Germain manuscript has "Chozehas", as in the Historia Miscella), "the leader of the Jewish faction, put Christians to death by various punishments." First, I have put "Barcop" in place of "Marcob"; "Barchob" or "Barchon" in Freculf; so that it might answer to the Βαρκώφ of Eusebius, Hist. IV, 7, and of Theodoret, Heret. Fab. I, 4, which, from Eusebius, Prepar. evang. X, 5, and Jerome, epistle 155, may be interpreted "son of the calling". Secondly, I have put "sojourned", not, as commonly, "died"; because I found it so in five codices written by hand, four Royal ones and one of the Library of the monks of Saint-Germain; and because the same Jerome, translating the Chronicle of Eusebius, speaks in this way: "Basilides the heresiarch sojourns in Alexandria: from whom the Gnostics...... Chochebas, the leader of the Jewish faction, slays with every kind of torture the Christians who were unwilling to bring him aid against the Roman soldiery." For no egg is more like an egg than these two passages are to each other. And lastly because it may be gathered from Clement in the Stromateus, book VII, p. 764, that Basilides prolonged his life down to the times of Antoninus Pius. And hence it is plain how one ought to read in the Little Index of Heresies which is attributed to Jerome; namely: "Against this" Basilides "Agrippa, surnamed Castor, a very learned man, writes, exposing all his mysteries, and enumerating his prophets, Barcabbas and Barcop, and, for the terror of his hearers, other barbarous names also, put together with a show of religion; naming also his greatest God Abraxas, as though containing the year, if it be computed according to the numeration of the Greeks." Nor is it less clear that in Philastrius, where he treats of Nicolaus and the Gnostics, Barrabas or Barrabbas wrongly occupies the place of Barcabas or Barcabbas: which name, on the authority of Epiphanius, heresy 26, no. 2, signifies in Syriac "son of fornication", in Hebrew "son of murder". Finally, by bringing back the runaway syllable ne, one must write in the Anonymous author whom Sirmond published under the title of Praedestinatus, heresy 3: "Which name, by the Greek reckoning of the letters, reaches this sum when computed." THE SAME.

(7) Σατορνῖλος. Quanto notissimus Saturninus, tanto obscurissimus qui marginem tenet Stratonicus, fictitius ut videtur haereticus: nisi quis huc hariolando referre velit Stratioticos Epiphanii, Theodoriti, Sophronii, Milites dictos Philastrio, quia de militaribus fuerunt, affines forsan Haematitis apud Clementem Alexandrinum Stromateo VII extremo. ID.

(7) Saturnilus. As Saturninus is most well known, so is the Stratonicus who occupies the margin most obscure, a fictitious heretic as it seems: unless someone should wish, by guesswork, to refer hither the Stratiotici of Epiphanius, Theodoret and Sophronius, called "Soldiers" by Philastrius, "because they were of the military", akin perhaps to the Haematites in Clement of Alexandria, at the end of Stromateus VII. THE SAME.

(8) Οἱ μὲν πολλοὺς θεούς. Id est, αἰῶνας, cap. 10. Epiphanius haeresi 31, n. 2 De Valentino, τριάκοντα αἰῶνας, οὓς καὶ θεοὺς ὀνομάζει. Ante Epiphanium, Origenes Homilia in librum Regnorum: Haereticorum quidam derelinquentes Creatorem mundi, et Filium ejus, fingunt sibi alium, nescio quem, excelsiorem Deum, et alios similiter introducunt, sive quos αἰῶνας, sive quos deos appellant. Vide Tertullianum I adversus Marcionem 5, et III adversus Praxeam. Vide etiam Ambrosium libro De incarnationis Dominicae mysterio, cap. 4, et epistola 17.

(8) Some indeed many gods. That is, aeons, chapter 10. Epiphanius, heresy 31, no. 2, On Valentinus: "thirty aeons, whom he also names gods." Before Epiphanius, Origen, Homily on the Book of Kingdoms: "Certain of the heretics, forsaking the Creator of the world and His Son, feign for themselves another, I know not what, loftier God, and likewise bring in others, whom they call either aeons or gods." See Tertullian, Against Marcion I, 5, and III Against Praxeas. See also Ambrose, in the book On the Mystery of the Lord's Incarnation, chapter 4, and epistle 17.

Tantos esse deos Basilidem credere jussit, Quantos... et dies annus habet.

Τὸν γάμον ἀθετοῦσιν. Saturninianos intelligit hoc et capp. 10, 26. Nam, teste Irenaeo, et post eum Epiphanio, nuptiis conjungi ac liberos gignere, a Satana esse dixit Saturninus. Idque primus; ex Theodorito; quia, opinor, Simoniani, Menandriani, Nicolaitae, matrimonium impugnabant, non studio fictae castitatis, ut Saturniliani, sed libidinis gratia, invehendo, scilicet, promiscuos concubitus communitatemque feminarum, quo quid connubio magis adversum? Quocirca in commentariis in Apocalypsim inter Opera S. Ambrosii, ubi de Nicolaitis, recte conjunguntur nuptiarum detestatio, atque obvia copula. Quanquam, ut dicam quod verisimillimum arbitror, edoctus a Tertulliano De praescriptione haereticorum, cap. 33, haeresis nuptiis interdicentium, aut sub apostolis fuit, aut ex doctrinis quae jam tunc fuerunt, sumpsit seminium. Id.

"They reject marriage." He means the Saturninians, here and in chapters 10 and 26. For, as Irenaeus testifies, and after him Epiphanius, Saturninus said that to be joined in marriage and to beget children is of Satan. And he was the first to do so, according to Theodoret; because, I think, the Simonians, Menandrians and Nicolaitans attacked matrimony not from zeal for a feigned chastity, like the Saturnilians, but for the sake of lust, namely by bringing in promiscuous intercourse and the community of women — and what is more opposed to wedlock than that? Wherefore in the commentaries on the Apocalypse among the works of St. Ambrose, where the Nicolaitans are treated, detestation of marriage and casual coupling are rightly joined together. Although, to say what I judge most probable, taught by Tertullian, On the Prescription of Heretics, chapter 33: the heresy of those who forbid marriage either existed under the apostles, or took its seed from doctrines that already existed then. The same.

‹…not in image…› both sets in part named by Stephen Gobar in the Bibliotheca of Photius: the former, namely, Hippolytus and Epiphanius; the latter, Ignatius Theophorus (the interpolated one, that is, from these very constitutions), Clement of the Stromata, Eusebius Pamphili, and Theodoret. To the accusers many can be added: Irenaeus, Tertullian, Hilary, Pacian, Gregory of Nyssa, Philaster, Jerome, Gelasius, Gildas, Anastasius, pseudo-Dorotheus, Agobard and his copyist Rabanus, the author of the Catalogue of Heresies made public by Sirmond, Humbert of Silva Candida, and very many others. The number of the defenders, for its part, grows with Victorinus of Pettau, Haymo of Halberstadt, Nicephorus, and certain others mentioned by Cassian, Conference 18, chapter 16. And Augustine, Isidore and the Fathers of the second Council of Tours, canon 19, seem also to deal more gently with Nicolaus, and Sophronius besides, in that he omits Nicolaus among the heretics while placing the Nicolaitans among the heresies. Accordingly, on the kinder opinion, the Nicolaitans, having falsely taken the name of Nicolaus, were ψευδώνυμοι — "pretended men," to speak with Victorinus on the Apocalypse, "who under the name of the minister Nicolaus made a heresy for themselves," or, with Theodoret, Compendium of Heretical Fables, book 3, chapter 1, "falsely naming themselves from this man's (Nicolaus's) appellation." Moreover, while reading the authors cited in this note, I observed three things perhaps not unworthy to be known. The first is a slight misprint in Gregory of Nyssa, oration 11 Against Eunomius, Paris edition of 1638, vol. II, p. 704: "Manichaeus, Nicolaus, Acoluthus" (write "Coluthus," from the summaries prefixed to the work, from Athanasius and others), "Aetius, Arius." The second, a variant reading in Jerome's letters 1 and 48, where it is taught that from Nicolaus arose the heresy "of the Nicolaitans, or of the Ophites": for so some codices have it, more correctly than certain others, "of the Neophytes" (Neophytorum or Neophytarum); since Epiphanius, the author of the Indiculus, and Augustine derive the Ophites from the Nicolaitans. The third, the error of Cardinal Humbert, who against the Greek Nicetas brings forward, as though it were of the Greek Father Epiphanius, the testimony of a Latin and worthless man, Sirmond's Anonymous — at heresy 4, namely — deceived by the title of a lying book.

<!-- series 2, left note-column: tail of a note continued from the foot of the previous page; its number and call are not on this page (file under the column of its call, before col 928) --> Ptolomaeus quatuor Aeonas, et alios quatuor asserere maluit. Quod si splenem exercere utile est, leges inepta haec inepti libelli quem Synodicum vocant, cap. 6 : Σύνοδος θεία καὶ ἱεραμερικὴ, συναθροισθεῖσα ὑπὸ τοῦ ὁσιωτάτου ἐπισκόπου Ἀχιλῶν (voluit dicere Ἀγχιάλου. Euseb. Hist. eccl. v, 19) : Σωτᾶ, καὶ ἑτέρων δυοκαίδεκα ἐπισκόπων· ἥτις ἐλέγξασα ἀπεκήρυξε τὸν σκυτέα Θεόδοτον, καὶ Μόντανον σὺν Μαξιμίλλῃ, ὀκτακοσίους καὶ ἑβδομήκοντα ὀκτὼ αἰῶνας δογματίζοντα, καὶ Πνεῦμα ἅγιον ἑαυτὸν εἶναι ἐπιφημίζοντα. Quot verba, tot jocularia figmenta. Et ad rem praesentem. confunduntur Theodotus Coriarius, Theodotus Montanista, et Theodotus Valentinianus, producunturque Aeones 878, quia plures vel pauciores non placebat. Cot.

Ptolemy preferred to assert four Aeons, and another four. But if it is of use to exercise the spleen, you will read these silly words of the silly little book which they call the Synodicon, ch. 6: "A divine and sacred local synod, gathered by the most holy bishop of Achilae (he meant to say "of Anchialus"; Eusebius, Church History V, 19), Sotas, and twelve other bishops; which, having convicted them, cast out Theodotus the cobbler, and Montanus together with Maximilla, who taught eight hundred and seventy-eight aeons and gave himself out to be the Holy Spirit." As many words, so many laughable fictions. And, to the matter in hand, Theodotus the Tanner, Theodotus the Montanist and Theodotus the Valentinian are confounded, and 878 Aeons are brought forth, because more or fewer did not please. Cotelier.

(9) "Three opposed". Marcion, the Marcionists, the Lucianists, the Ptolemaites, Syneros, Setianus, or perhaps the Sethians, Theodotus, the Manichaeans and the Euchites are said to have been in that heresy by the author of the Dialogues found among Origen's works; by Eusebius, Haer. V, 13; by Athanasius, On the Decrees of the Nicene Synod, p. 275, and in Oration 4 against the Arians, p. 467; by Cyril of Jerusalem in Catechesis 16; by Epiphanius, Augustine and the Anonymous, On Heresies; by Gennadius, ch. 52 On Dogmas, and Alcuin in part III of the Confession of Faith, n. 35; by Psellus near the beginning of the Dialogue On the Operation of Demons, and by the writer of the Arabic Preface to the Council of Nicaea. But Sirmond's anonymous author lies in error, at heresy 21. For he has Syrinus in place of Augustine's Synerus, who in Eusebius, Theodoret and Nicephorus is Σύνερως; in Sophronius Συνερός in the printed books (Συνέρως in the Royal codex), and in Rufinus too Synerus. The same.

(10) "Boundless". "Secundus, likewise teaching that the Aeons were made, nevertheless asserts that they are infinite." The words are Philaster's. The same.

(11) Τὸν γάμον ἀθετοῦσιν. Saturninianos intelligit hoc et capp. 10, 26. Nam, teste Irenaeo, et post eum Epiphanio, nuptiis conjungi ac liberos gignere, a Satana esse dixit Saturninus. Idque primus ; ex Theodorito ; quia, opinor, Simoniani, Menandriani, Nicolaitae, matrimonium impugnabant, non studio fictae castitatis, ut Saturniliani, sed libidinis gratia, invehendo, scilicet, promiscuos concubitus communitatemque feminarum, quo quid connubio magis adversum? Quocirca in commentariis in Apocalypsim inter Opera S. Ambrosii, ubi de Nicolaitis, recte conjunguntur nuptiarum detestatio, atque obvia copula. Quanquam, ut dicam quod verisimillimum arbitror, edoctus a Tertulliano De praescriptione haereticorum, cap. 33, haeresis nuptiis interdicentium, aut sub apostolis fuit, aut ex doctrinis quae jam tunc fuerunt, sumpsit seminium. Id.

(11) "They set marriage aside". He means the Saturninians, in this chapter and in chs. 10 and 26. For, on the witness of Irenaeus, and after him of Epiphanius, Saturninus said that to be joined in wedlock and to beget children is from Satan. And he was the first to say it, according to Theodoret; because, I think, the Simonians, Menandrians and Nicolaitans attacked matrimony not out of zeal for a feigned chastity, as the Saturnilians did, but for the sake of lust, namely by bringing in promiscuous intercourse and the community of women; and what is more opposed to wedlock than that? Wherefore in the commentaries on the Apocalypse among the Works of St Ambrose, where the Nicolaitans are treated, the detestation of marriage and casual coupling are rightly joined together. Although, to say what I judge most probable, taught by Tertullian, On the Prescription of Heretics, ch. 33: the heresy of those who forbid marriage either existed under the apostles, or took its seed from doctrines which already existed then. The same.

Addi possunt criminantibus multi, Irenaeus, Tertullianus, Hilarius, Pacianus, Gregorius Nyssenus, Philaster, Hieronymus, Gelasius, Gildas, Anastasius, pseudo-Dorotheus, Agobardus, illiusque exscriptor Rabanus, auctor Catalogi haeresium per Sirmondum publici juris factus, Humbertus Sylvae Candidae, et alii plerique.

Tertium, error Humberti cardinalis, qui adversus Graecum Nicetam profert tanquam Patris Graeci Epiphanii, testimonium hominis Latini ac futilis, Anonymi Sirmondiani, haeresi 4 nimirum, titulo mendacis libri deceptus. Cot.

(13) "Falsely named Nicolaitans". Nicolaus the deacon had his accusers, and he had his defenders too: both are named in part by Stephanus Gobarus in the Library of Photius: the former being Hippolytus and Epiphanius; the latter Ignatius Theophorus (interpolated, that is, from these very constitutions), Clement of the Stromata, Eusebius Pamphili and Theodoret. To those who charge him many can be added: Irenaeus, Tertullian, Hilary, Pacian, Gregory of Nyssa, Philaster, Jerome, Gelasius, Gildas, Anastasius, pseudo-Dorotheus, Agobard and his copyist Rabanus, the author of the Catalogue of Heresies made public by Sirmond, Humbert of Silva Candida, and very many others. The number of his advocates, on the other hand, grows with Victorinus of Pettau, Haymo of Halberstadt, Nicephorus, and certain others mentioned by Cassian in Conference 18, ch. 16. Moreover Augustine, Isidore and the Fathers of the second Council of Tours, can. 19, seem to deal more gently with Nicolaus, and Sophronius besides, in that he leaves Nicolaus out among the heretics while placing the Nicolaitans among the heresies. And so, according to the kinder opinion, the Nicolaitans, having falsely taken the name of Nicolaus, were "falsely named", "counterfeit men", to speak with Victorinus on the Apocalypse, "who under the name of Nicolaus the minister made a heresy for themselves", or, as with Theodoret, Compendium of Heretical Fables, bk III, ch. 1, "falsely naming themselves from this man's (Nicolaus's) appellation". Further, while reading the authors cited in this note, I observed three things, perhaps not unworthy to be known. The first is a slight fault in Gregory of Nyssa, oration 11 against Eunomius, Paris edition of the year 1638, vol. II, p. 704: "Manichaeus, Nicolaus, Acoluthus (write "Coluthus", from the summaries prefixed to the Work, from Athanasius and others), Aetius, Arius". The second, a variant reading in Jerome's letters 1 and 48, where it is taught that from Nicolaus arose the heresy of the Nicolaitans, or of the Ophites: for so some codices read, more correctly than certain others, which have "of the Neophytes" in one form or another; since Epiphanius, the author of the Indiculus, and Augustine derive the Ophites from the Nicolaitans. The third, the error of Cardinal Humbert, who against the Greek Nicetas brings forward, as though it were that of the Greek Father Epiphanius, the testimony of a Latin and worthless man, Sirmond's Anonymous, namely at heresy 4, deceived by the title of a lying book. Cotelier.

But many have been pleased to join Paul to Peter: Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechesis 6; Sulpicius Severus in the Sacred History; Prosper in the little book entitled Dimidium temporis, chapter 13; Gregory of Tours, Histories, book 1, chapter 25, and Miracles, book 1, chapter 28; Isidore in the Chronicle; Abbo, sermon 5, in volume IX of the Spicilegium; the fabricator of the Acts of Peter and Paul, and Marcellus, both in Sigebert, On Illustrious Men, chapter 1, and in Surius, 12 May, in the Life of Nereus and Achilleus.

Id.

"His hip is shattered, and the soles of his feet." Book 2, chapter 14. Cedrenus and Glycas: συνετρίβη ("was shattered"). The heading of this chapter here has "he was shattered as to his feet and both hands, the soles"; in Bovius's version, "he broke his feet and hands." "Clement, Hegesippus, Justin, Irenaeus relate it": of Justin and Irenaeus, falsely; of pseudo-Clement, here is the passage; but pseudo-Hegesippus, cited also by Hincmar, Opusculum 1, chapter 32, and Arnobius mention only the breaking of the legs; Maximus of Turin, legs broken and soles lost. Otherwise in Nicetas Choniates, Thesaurus, book 4, chapter 1, namely that Simon, falling on his head, spattered the road with his brains. But in Damascene, Parallela, book 1, chapter 56, there is a statement of some Eusebius or other that the Magician's body was altogether shattered: "wholly broken in body, and with his legs crippled." Hear the Greek of Metaphrastes: "Simon, slipping from the air, is borne pitiably [others: with a pitiable] and wretched fall to the earth; and with his whole miserable body crushed, on the second day he breaks off his wretched life, racked with sharp pains." And in the poem of Walafrid Strabo, or of Fortunatus, on St. Peter, vol. VI of Canisius's Antiqua lectio, pp. 659, 660: "Moreover, utterly emptying out the magic phantom of the false Simon, he thrust it down into the foul shades, loosing the Roman populace from its ancient error: [Simon] who, untaught, climbs the lofty summit of a tower, and, crowned with a spray of laurel, flew; but soon the gallows-bird, letting go the airs of heaven, headlong to the earth, his bones shattered, the wastrel (a) crashed down, and the victory in the war fell to Peter." From all of which one may depart on the strength of the following, taken from the manuscript Acts of Peter and Paul, Royal codex 1045: "He fell on the place called Sacra Via, that is, the Sacred Way; and, becoming four parts, he joined together four flint stones, which are for a testimony of the apostles' victory down to the present day." Read perhaps συνῄμωσεν, that is, "he spattered with gore," although the Latin Acts under the name of Marcellus, which Franciscus Maria Florentinus published at Lucca in the year 1668 with the more ancient martyrology of the Western Church, [have]: "He fell on the place which is called the Sacred Way; and, broken (or rather made) into four parts, he united four flint stones, which are for a testimony of the victory of the apostles down to the present day." The same.

Ἐπάγη. A πήγω, πηγνύω. Verum Cedrenus accepisse videtur quasi esset ab ἐπάγω, ἐπάγνυμι : non parvo errore. Ita enim nostrum exscribit : Οὕτως ἡ πρώτη κατελύθη τῶν Σιμωνιανῶν αἵρεσις ἐν Ῥώμῃ. Quaeres dubio procul, quid sentiendum videatur de stupendo, et ut Isidorus Pelusiota lib. i, epist. 13, appellat, celeberrimo Simonis interitu. Ego praeclarae illius sententiae memor, Periculosum est credere et non credere, nec assevero neque pernego, sed ἐπέχω plerumque. Cui cordi erunt hujusmodi miracula (sunt autem non paucis), habet in praesenti auctoritatem plurimorum gravissimorumque utriusque Ecclesiae magistrorum ; etiam, praeter hisce notis indicatos, Epiphanii haeresi 21, n. 5 ; Hieronymi aut alterius ad psalmum ix ; pseudo-Ambrosii ad Roman. viii, 38, et Graecorum xxix Junii. Qui vero ad diffidentiam propendebit magis (quo morbo magna pars eruditorum hodie jactatur) retardabitur ab assensu ; partim narrationis origine, e libris apocryphis et pseudepigraphis ; partim discrepantia referentium ; partim silentio multorum, praesertimque Romanorum pontificum, qui sua tacere non solent ; partim ob adnotationem S. Augustini scribentis ad Casulanum : Est quidem et haec opinio plurimorum ; quamvis eam perhibeant esse falsam plerique Romani ; quod apostolus Petrus cum Simone Mago die Dominico certaturus, propter ipsum magnae tentationis periculum, pridie cum ejusdem urbis Ecclesia jejunaverit, et consecuto tam prospero gloriosoque successu, eumdem morem tenuerit, eumque imitatae sint nonnullae Occidentis Ecclesiae. Certe obscuram valde ac incertam Romae fuisse eam famam innuit satis Liber (continues)

"Was fixed." From πήγω, πηγνύω. But Cedrenus seems to have taken it as though it were from ἐπάγω, ἐπάγνυμι — no small error. For he transcribes our author thus: "So the first heresy, that of the Simonians, was dissolved at Rome." You will ask, no doubt, what it seems one should think about the astounding and, as Isidore of Pelusium (book 1, letter 13) calls it, most celebrated end of Simon. For my part, mindful of that excellent saying, "It is dangerous to believe and not to believe," I neither affirm nor flatly deny, but for the most part suspend judgement (ἐπέχω). He to whom miracles of this kind are dear (and they are so to not a few) has here the authority of very many and very weighty teachers of both Churches; also, besides those indicated in these notes, of Epiphanius, heresy 21, no. 5; of Jerome or another on Psalm 9; of pseudo-Ambrose on Romans 8:38; and of the Greeks on 29 June. But he who shall incline rather to distrust (a disease by which a great part of the learned is tossed today) will be held back from assent partly by the origin of the story, from apocryphal and pseudepigraphal books; partly by the disagreement of those who report it; partly by the silence of many, and especially of the Roman pontiffs, who are not wont to keep silent about their own; partly on account of the remark of St. Augustine writing to Casulanus: "This too is indeed the opinion of very many — although most Romans declare it to be false — that the apostle Peter, being about to contend with Simon Magus on the Lord's day, on account of the very danger of the great trial, fasted the day before with the Church of that same city, and, so prosperous and glorious an outcome having followed, kept the same custom, and that some Churches of the West imitated it." Certainly that that report was very obscure and uncertain at Rome is sufficiently intimated by the Liber (continues)

ἀπάτῃ καὶ ἀπωλείᾳ ἀνθρώπων κεχρημένων αὐτῇ, ῥάξαντα δὲ μὴ θανατῶσαι, ἀλλὰ συντρίψαι· καὶ ὑπολαβὼν, ἀτενίσας εἶπον τῷ Σίμωνι· Εἰ Θεοῦ ἄνθρωπος ἐγὼ, ἀπόστολος δὲ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ἀληθὴς, καὶ διδάσκαλος εὐσεβείας, ἀλλ' οὐ πλάνης, οἷος σὺ, Σίμων, προστάσσω ταῖς πονηραῖς δυνάμεσι τοῦ τῆς εὐσεβείας ἀποστάτου, ἐφ' αἷς ὀχεῖται Σίμων ὁ Μάγος, ἀφεῖναι τῆς κρατήσεως, ὅπως ἐξ ὕψους κατενεχθῇ εἰς γέλωτα τῶν ἀπατηθέντων ὑπ' αὐτοῦ. Καὶ εἰπόντος μου ταῦτα, περικοπεὶς τῶν δυνάμεων ὁ Σίμων, κατηνέχθη μετὰ μεγάλου ἤχου, καὶ ῥαγεὶς ἐξαίσιον, συντρίβεται τὸ ἰσχίον καὶ τῶν ποδῶν τοὺς ταρσούς. Καὶ φωνὴ τῶν ὄχλων λέγουσα· Εἷς ὁ Θεὸς, ὃν Πέτρος δικαίως καταγγέλλει τῇ ἀληθείᾳ μόνον· καὶ πολλοὶ ἀπέστησαν ἀπ' αὐτοῦ· τινὲς δὲ ἄξιοι τῆς ἀπωλείας αὐτοῦ ὄντες, παρέμειναν αὐτοῦ τῇ μοχθηρᾷ διδασκαλίᾳ. Καὶ οὕτω πρώτη ἐπάγη ἡ τῶν Σιμωνιανῶν ἀθεωτάτη αἵρεσις ἐν Ῥώμῃ, καὶ διὰ τῶν λοιπῶν ψευδαποστόλων ἐνήργει ὁ διάβολος.
the deceit and destruction of the men who made use of it, and, having dashed him down, not to kill but to shatter him; and taking up the word, gazing intently I said to Simon: If I am a man of God, and a true apostle of Jesus Christ, and a teacher of piety and not of error, such as you are, Simon, I command the wicked powers of the apostate from piety, upon which Simon the Magician is borne, to let go their hold, so that he may be brought down from on high to the derision of those who were deceived by him. And when I had said these things, Simon, cut off from the powers, was borne down with a great noise, and, dashed violently, has his hip and the flats of his feet crushed. And [there was] a voice of the crowds saying: One is the God Whom Peter rightly proclaims in truth as the only one; and many fell away from him; but some, being worthy of his destruction, remained in his depraved teaching. And thus the most godless heresy of the Simonians was first fixed in Rome, and through the rest of the false apostles the devil was at work.

Now all these alike had one and the same aim of godlessness: to blaspheme the almighty God, to hold Him to be unknown, and not to be the Father of Christ, nor the maker of the world, but unspeakable, ineffable, unnameable, self-begotten; not to make use of the law and the prophets; that there is no providence; not to believe in a resurrection; that there is no judgement and recompense; that the soul is not immortal; to rejoice in pleasure alone; and to turn aside indifferently to every form of worship. For some say that there are many gods; others, three without beginning; others, two unbegotten; others, boundless aeons. And some of them teach celibacy, and abstinence from flesh and from wine, saying that marriage and the begetting of children and the partaking of foods are abominable, so that, as though they were grave persons, they may cause their wicked opinion to be received as worthy of belief; and some of them lay down the law to abstain from flesh, not as from irrational animals, but as from those having a rational soul, and on the ground that those who dare to slaughter them will have the penalty of murder exacted of them; and others of them said, asserting that one must abstain from swine's flesh only, but eat the things that are clean according to the law; and be circumcised according to the law; and believe in Jesus as in a holy man and

Τὸν μὲν παντοκράτορα, etc. Primi haeretici Deum verum et omnipotentem blasphemiis appetebant ; quia inficiabantur esse Patrem Christi, mundique opificem ; superducebant vero falsum Deum, quem dicebant ignotum, ineffabilem, etc. Habent sensum hunc obscuriora verba, interpositu utriusque numinis, minus bene constructa. De ignoto Deo eadem impietas haeresi Elcesaeorum tribuitur in Jure Graeco-Romano p. 180, ubi Ἀλκεσίων perperam leges. Sed et ibidem manifesto pugnat cum veritate quod dicitur : Οὐαλεντῖνος καὶ Κέρδων ἐλθόντες ἐν τῇ Ῥώμῃ, ἐδίδασκον τὸν τῆς Παλαιᾶς Θεόν. Proinde locus depravatus est et imperfectus. Scribendum forsan, κατὰ τοῦ τῆς Παλαιᾶς Θεοῦ. Valentinus et Cerdon Romam profecti, docebant adversus Veteris Testamenti Deum. Cot.

"The Almighty," etc. The first heretics assailed the true and almighty God with blasphemies, because they denied that he is the Father of Christ and the maker of the world; and they brought in over him a false God, whom they called unknown, ineffable, etc. This is the sense of the rather obscure words, which, with both deities interposed, are not well constructed. Concerning the unknown God the same impiety is attributed to the heresy of the Elcesaites in the Jus Graeco-Romanum, p. 180, where you will read Ἀλκεσίων wrongly. And in the same place what is said plainly conflicts with the truth: "Valentinus and Cerdo, having come to Rome, taught the God of the Old [Testament]." Hence the passage is corrupt and incomplete. Perhaps one should write "against the God of the Old [Testament]": "Valentinus and Cerdo, having gone to Rome, taught against the God of the Old Testament." Cotelier.

"That the soul is not immortal." It seems to me very strange, what the most learned Gilbert Gaulmin reports in book 1 of his Notes on the Hebrew work On the Life and Death of Moses, chapter 12, that the Arab historians ascribe to Origen the opinion which affirms that souls are extinguished with their bodies; since from Eusebius's History, book 6, chapter 37, it is established that that error about the death of the soul, which arose in Arabia, was refuted by Origen. To say nothing of the writings of Origen in which the immortality of the soul is taught. The same.

"Not as being irrational animals." Consult Epiphanius, heresy 26, no. 10; heresy 42, p. 330; and Philastrius, part 3, heresy 54. Gennadius, De dogmatibus, chapter 17: "The souls of animals are not substantial, but are born with the flesh itself at the birth of the flesh, and with the death of the flesh are ended and die; and therefore they are not governed by reason, as Plato and Alexander think, but [are led] to all things by the incitement of nature." I have brought this passage forward, passing over very many others, in order to point out that on account of the Alexander mentioned in it, Philo the Jew also gave to his book That Brute Animals Are Endowed with Reason the title "Alexander." On Alexander, [see] Eusebius's History and Jerome's Catalogue. The same.

"As in a holy man." For that reason, as it seems, they were called Anthropiani by Cyprian, letter 73, and by Lactantius, book 4, last chapter. Likewise Homuncionitae: which is clear from Prudentius in the Apotheosis; the Indiculus of pseudo-Jerome, under "On the Pneumatomachi or Macedonians"; Bede on Philippians 2:6; and also from Vigilius of Thapsus, book 3 On the Trinity, about the middle. For Chifflet's reading Homousionista plainly conflicts with the sense and words of Vigilius, who in that place is arguing against Photinus, "who" (he says) "denies Christ to be true God and confesses him to be only a mere man." And the Royal codex 358 too keeps Homuncionita. There are objected by the most learned Chifflet (continues)

verba Anonymi Sirmondiani : Septuagesimam et sextam haeresim fecerunt Homuncionitae, qui dicunt in corpore hominis esse imaginem Dei, non in anima. Verum tenebrio ille cum ex jecore suo sapit, nunquam non desipit : hic vero rem mutuatus a Philastrio et Augustino, nomen ipse adjecit. Ab Homuncionitis differunt quammaxime Homuntionates, utpote orthodoxi, ita per haereticos appellati. In conflictu Arnobii catholici et Serapionis haeretici, initio : Serapion dixit : Antequam ad hoc veniamus, quod vos Homuntionates arguamus, dicentes duas naturas esse in Christo, duasque substantias, cupio scire quis sis. Forte Homuntionates, ἀπὸ Θεοῦ καὶ ἀνθρώπου ἐν Χριστῷ ὁμοῦ ὄντων, nisi sit legendum Homusionates aut Homousionates, ab ὁμοῦ οὐσιῶν, vel ab ὁμοούσιον. Cot.

the words of Sirmond's Anonymous: "The seventy-sixth heresy was made by the Homuncionitae, who say that the image of God is in the body of man, not in the soul." But that trickster, whenever he draws wisdom from his own liver, is never other than foolish: here, having borrowed the matter from Philastrius and Augustine, he added the name himself. From the Homuncionitae the Homuntionates differ as widely as possible, being orthodox, so called by the heretics. In the Conflict of Arnobius the Catholic and Serapion the heretic, at the beginning: "Serapion said: Before we come to this, that we should convict you Homuntionates, who say that there are two natures in Christ and two substances, I desire to know who you are." Perhaps "Homuntionates" from God and man being together (ὁμοῦ) in Christ; unless one should read Homusionates or Homousionates, from "substances together" (ὁμοῦ οὐσιῶν), or from ὁμοούσιον. Cotelier.

Ἀναίδην ἐκπορνεύειν, καὶ παραχρᾶσθαι τῇ σαρκί. Eadem Clemens Alexandrinus, ubi de Nicolao et Nicolaitis. In Lexico Suidae : Παραχρᾶται, πολὺ σφοδρῶς συνουσιάζει, ἀκολάστως μίγνυται. Εἴρηται δὲ καὶ περὶ ἑκάστου πράγματος ἐκ περιουσίας γενομένου. Περὶ Ὠριγένους· Σοὶ δὲ κακομηχανία εἰς αἰσχρότατον ἄνδρα ἐπενοήθη. Αἰθίοπα γὰρ αὐτῷ παρεσκεύασαν εἰς παράχρησιν τοῦ σώματος.

"To fornicate shamelessly, and to abuse the flesh." Clement of Alexandria says the same, where he treats of Nicolaus and the Nicolaitans. In the Lexicon of Suidas: "Παραχρᾶται: has intercourse very vehemently, couples licentiously. It is said also of anything whatever done to excess. Concerning Origen: 'Against you an evil contrivance was devised, [fit] for a most shameful man. For they made ready an Ethiopian for him, for the abuse of his body.'" So I read from the Royal manuscripts, from Suidas himself under the word Ὠριγένης, from Epiphanius, heresy 64, no. 2, and from George Cedrenus. Cotelier.

Οὐκ αὐταίτιον καὶ αὐτογένεθλον. Quia nihil sui ipsius causa et pater esse potest ; et quia quod ingenitum est, nec a se, nec ab alio est genitum : ut liquido constat, observaturque a pluribus, etiam antiquis. Verumtamen Deus, apud auctores qua sacros qua profanos, appellari solet, αὐτοαίτιος, αὐτογένεθλος, αὐτογενής, αὐτογένητος, αὐτογέννητος, αὐτόγονος, αὐτὸς ἐξ αὑτοῦ γενόμενος, αὐτολόχευτος, αὐτοπάτωρ, αὐτομήτωρ, αὐτοφυής, αὐτόφυτος, αὐτοπάρακτος, αὐτοποίητος, etc. Sed qui eas voces usurpant, ostendere volunt Deum a nullo esse. Unde in Hesychio αὐτογένεθλος, αὐτογέννητος αὐτογενής, αὐτολόχευτος, exponuntur : οὐκ ἔκ τινος γεννώμενος, Θεὸς ἀγέννητος. Vide Hilarium De synodis, ad anathematismum 12, p. 366 ; et Faustum ep. 5 ad Ruricium. Legito quoque Recognit. iii, 3, 4, 11, necnon Clementin. xvi, 16. Cot.

"Not self-caused and self-begotten." Because nothing can be the cause and father of itself; and because what is unbegotten is begotten neither by itself nor by another: as is plainly established, and is observed by many, even of the ancients. Nevertheless God, in authors both sacred and profane, is commonly called self-caused, self-begotten, self-born, self-originated, self-generated, self-sprung, "himself come to be from himself," self-delivered, his own father, his own mother, self-grown, self-planted, self-produced, self-made, etc. But those who use these words wish to show that God is from no one. Hence in Hesychius αὐτογένεθλος, αὐτογέννητος, αὐτογενής, αὐτολόχευτος are explained: "not begotten of anyone; the unbegotten God." See Hilary, On the Synods, at anathema 12, p. 366; and Faustus, letter 5 to Ruricius. Read also Recognitions 3.3, 4, 11, and Clementines 16.16. Cotelier.

"Not of several; of one Paraclete." Against the heretics. For the Valentinians and Marcion brought in two sons, two christs. Of the former Irenaeus teaches in book 1, chapter 1; of Marcion, Justin in Apology 2, Tertullian, Against him 4.6, Athanasius Against the Sabellians, and Optatus, book 4. Moreover the Gnostics are struck with anathema in chapter 2 of the first Council of Braga, because they posited in the divinity a Trinity of the Trinity. And below, in apostolic canon 41 (otherwise 49), he is condemned who has baptized into three sons or into three paracletes: where see what we shall note. I am not unaware that Origen, in book 2 On First Principles, chapter 7, cited also in the Apology of Pamphilus, speaks thus: "We have heard that heretics have dared to say that there are two Gods and two Christs; but we have never known two Holy Spirits to be preached by anyone." Yet the same Origen, on Titus 3:10, as Pamphilus reports, had written the contrary: "But there are also those who say that the Holy Spirit who was in the prophets is one, and the one who was in the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ another." Moreover, this passage of the Constitutions the Greek mentioned by Torres [objects to] as one to be reject- (continues)

maker, one creator, maker through Christ of a diverse creation, the same its provider, lawgiver through Him; cause of resurrection, and of judgement, and of recompense, which come about through Him; that this same one was also pleased to become man, and lived without sin, and suffered, and rose from the dead, and went up to Him who sent Him; and we say that every creature of God is good, and nothing abominable; everything that is rightly partaken of for sustenance is most excellent; for all things, according to the Scripture, are very good. We believe lawful marriage and the begetting of children to be honourable and undefiled; for it was for the increase of the race of men that a difference of forms was fashioned in Adam and Eve. We confess the soul in us to be incorporeal and immortal, and not corruptible as bodies are, but immortal, as being rational and self-determining; every unlawful union, and that which is practised by some against nature, we abominate as lawless and unholy. We confess that there will be a resurrection both of the just and of the unjust, and a rendering of reward. We confess Christ to be not a mere man, but God the Word and man, mediator of God and men, high priest of the Father. Nor indeed are we circumcised with the Jews, knowing that He has come for Whom it was laid up, and on Whose account the families were being kept, the expectation of the nations, Jesus the Christ, He who sprang from Judah, the son from the shoot, the flower from Jesse; Whose government is upon His shoulder.

"For whom it was laid up." Also chapter 23. He read in Genesis 49:10 ᾧ ἀπόκειται ("for whom it is laid up"), which is the more probable reading, and the more usual among the ancients, and also the one best fitted to Christ, and therefore ascribed by Julian the Apostate — in Cyril, book 8 against him — to a fraud of the Christians. Yet I would not wholly reject the others, especially the one also frequent in the writings of the holy Fathers, τὰ ἀποκείμενα αὐτῷ ("the things laid up for him"), although it may seem to have originated with the Jews, from the Dialogue of Justin Martyr, pp. 348, 349. Certainly Justin himself uses both (pp. 73, 271, 348), and so do Origen, Eusebius, Athanasius, Rufinus, Augustine and Cyril of Alexandria. The other readings are: — I. ᾧ τὰ ἀποκείμενα. Epiphanius, heresy 20, no. 1: "'Until he come for whom it is laid up'; but as the other copies have it, 'until he come for whom are the things laid up.'" Read heresy 29, no. 3; heresy 42, p. 332 D. — II. ᾧ ἀπόκεινται, in Justin's Dialogue, p. 349, line 1. The old translator of the interpolated letter of Ignatius to the Philadelphians, chapter 9, in Petau's codex: "Until he come for whom they are laid up," and so in St. Leo, sermon 5 on the Epiphany; but in sermon 3 on the same solemnity, "for whom it is laid up." — III. Ὃ ἀπόκειται ("that which is laid up") in the interpolated Ignatius at the place cited, from Joly's manuscript; in Justin, pp. 73 and 89, in the copy; Origen on Matthew 14:3; Epiphanius, heresy 66, no. 74; Gregory of Nyssa in the book of Testimonies, vol. II, Paris edition of 1638, p. 154; Theodoret on this place of Genesis, in a manuscript, on the witness of Nobilius; Hesychius, presbyter of Jerusalem, sermon 1 On the Mother of God, near the end; Cedrenus, Basel edition, p. 151, line 12; and Gregentius, f. 13, p. 2. — IV. If it is cited word for word and not rather according to the sense, οὗ ἐστι ("whose it is"), below in the Clementines, book 3, chapter 49. Finally, in like manner, ὅς ἐστιν or ὅ ἐστι, in the Disputation of Archelaus against Manichaeus, which the most distinguished Valesius had published at the end of Socrates and Sozomen, p. 202, col. 2: "For he says — understand: 'A prince shall not fail from Juda, nor a leader from his thigh, until he come who is, and he shall be the expectation of the nations.'" The same.

ΚΕΦΑΛΑΙΟΝ ΙΒʹ. Πρὸς τοὺς ὁμολογοῦντας, ἰουδαΐζειν δὲ θέλοντας.
CHAPTER XII. Against those who confess, yet wish to Judaize.
Ἀλλ' ἐπεὶ τότε αὕτη ἡ αἵρεσις ἰσχυροτέρα πρὸς πλάνην ἔδοξεν εἶναι, καὶ τῆς Ἐκκλησίας ὅλης κινδυνευούσης, ἡμεῖς οἱ δώδεκα, συνελθόντες εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ (ἀντὶ γὰρ τοῦ προδότου Ματθίας σὺν ἡμῖν κατεψηφίσθη ἀπόστολος εἶναι, λαβὼν τὸ κλῆρον Ἰούδα, ὡς εἴρηται· « Τὴν ἐπισκοπὴν αὐτοῦ λάβοι ἕτερος»), ἐπεσκεπτόμεθα ἅμα Ἰακώβῳ τῷ τοῦ Κυρίου ἀδελφῷ, τί γένηται· καὶ ἔδοξεν αὐτῷ τε καὶ τοῖς πρεσβυτέροις, λόγους διδασκαλίας προσλαλῆσαι τῷ λαῷ. Καὶ γὰρ καί τινες κατελθόντες ἀπὸ τῆς Ἰουδαίας εἰς Ἀντιόχειαν ἐδίδασκον τοὺς ἐκεῖ ἀδελφοὺς, λέγοντες· ὅτι « Ἐὰν μὴ περιτμηθῆτε τῷ ἔθει Μωϋσέως, καὶ τοῖς ἄλλοις ἔθεσιν οἷς διετάξατο περιπατῆτε, οὐ δύνασθε σωθῆναι.» Γενομένης οὖν στάσεως καὶ ζητήσεως οὐκ ὀλίγης, οἱ ἐν Ἀντιοχείᾳ ἀδελφοὶ, γνόντες ὅτι συνεληλύθαμεν πάντες περὶ τούτου ζητήσαντες, ἐξαπέστειλαν πρὸς ἡμᾶς ἄνδρας πιστοὺς καὶ τῶν Γραφῶν εἰδήμονας, μαθεῖν περὶ τοῦ ζητήματος τούτου· οἱ δὲ, παραγενόμενοι εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ, ἀνήγγειλαν ἡμῖν τὰ ζητηθέντα καὶ ἐν τῇ Ἀντιοχέων Ἐκκλησίᾳ, ὡς ὅτι τινὲς ἔλεγον, ὅτι δεῖ περιτέμνεσθαι, καὶ τὰς ἄλλας ἁγνείας παραφυλάττειν. Ἄλλων δὲ ἄλλο τι λεγόντων, ἐγὼ Πέτρος ἀναστὰς εἶπον πρὸς αὐτούς· « Ἄνδρες ἀδελφοὶ, ὑμεῖς ἐπίστασθε, ὅτι ἀφ' ἡμερῶν ἀρχαίων, ἐν ὑμῖν ἐξελέξατο ὁ Θεὸς, διὰ τοῦ στόματός μου ἀκοῦσαι τὰ ἔθνη τὸν λόγον τοῦ Εὐαγγελίου, καὶ πιστεῦσαι· καὶ ὁ καρδιογνώστης Θεὸς ἐμαρτύρησεν αὐτοῖς. » Κορνηλίῳ γάρ ποτε ἑκατοντάρχῃ Ῥωμαϊκῆς ἀρχῆς ὤφθη ἄγγελος Κυρίου, καὶ περὶ ἐμοῦ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, ὅπως μεταστείληταί με, καὶ ἀκούσῃ ῥῆμα ζωῆς ἐκ τοῦ στόματός μου. Ὁ δὲ, μετεπέμψατό με ἀπὸ Ἰόππης εἰς Καισάρειαν τὴν Στράτωνος. Ὁπότε δὲ ἔμελλον πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐκπορεύεσθαι, ἐβουλήθην τροφῆς μεταλαβεῖν· καὶ παρασκευαζόντων, ἤμην ἐν τῷ ὑπερῴῳ προσευχόμενος· καὶ θεωρῶ τὸν οὐρανὸν ἀνεῳγότα, καὶ τέσσαρσιν ἀρχαῖς δεδεμένον σκεῦός τι, ὡς ὀθόνην λαμπρὰν, καὶ καθιέμενον ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ἐν ᾧ ὑπῆρχε πάντα τὰ τετράποδα, καὶ ἑρπετὰ τῆς γῆς, καὶ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ. Καὶ ἐγένετο φωνὴ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ πρός με λέγουσα· « Ἀναστὰς, Πέτρε, θῦσον, καὶ φάγε. » Κἀγὼ εἶπον· «Μηδαμῶς, Κύριε, ὅτι οὐδέποτε ἔφαγον πᾶν κοινὸν καὶ ἀκάθαρτον. » Καὶ ἐγένετο φωνὴ ἐκ δευτέρου, λέγουσα· « Ἃ ὁ Θεὸς ἐκαθάρισε, σὺ μὴ
But since at that time this heresy seemed to be the stronger for leading astray, and the whole Church being in danger, we the twelve, having come together at Jerusalem (for in place of the betrayer Matthias was voted to be an apostle with us, having received the lot of Judas, as it is said: "His office of oversight let another take" [Ps. 108:8]), considered together with James the brother of the Lord what should be done; and it seemed good to him and to the presbyters to address words of teaching to the people. For indeed certain men also, having come down from Judaea to Antioch, were teaching the brethren there, saying: "Unless you are circumcised after the custom of Moses, and walk in the other customs which he appointed, you cannot be saved." When therefore no small dissension and questioning had arisen, the brethren in Antioch, knowing that we had all come together to inquire about this, sent out to us faithful men, skilled in the Scriptures, to learn about this question; and they, having arrived at Jerusalem, reported to us the things that were being questioned in the Church of the Antiochenes also, namely that some were saying that one must be circumcised and keep the other purifications. And as some said one thing and others another, I Peter stood up and said to them: "Men, brethren, you know that from days of old God made choice among you, that through my mouth the nations should hear the word of the Gospel and believe; and God Who knows the heart bore witness to them." For to Cornelius, once a centurion of the Roman government, there appeared an angel of the Lord, and spoke to him about me, that he should send for me and hear a word of life from my mouth. And he sent for me from Joppa to Caesarea of Straton. And when I was about to set out to him, I wished to partake of food; and while they were making ready, I was in the upper room praying; and I behold heaven opened, and a certain vessel bound by four corners, like a bright linen sheet, and being let down upon the earth, in which were all the four-footed beasts, and creeping things of the earth, and the birds of heaven. And there came a voice out of heaven to me, saying: "Rise, Peter, sacrifice, and eat." And I said: "By no means, Lord, for I have never eaten anything common and unclean." And there came a voice a second time, saying: "What God has cleansed, do not you

κοίνου. » Τοῦτο δὲ ἐγένετο ἐπὶ τρίς· καὶ ἀνελήφθη τὸ σκεῦος εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν. Ὡς δὲ διηπόρουν, τί ἂν εἴη τὸ ὅραμα, εἶπέ μοι τὸ Πνεῦμα· « Ἰδοὺ ἄνδρες ζητοῦσί σε· ἀλλὰ ἀναστὰς πορεύθητι σὺν αὐτοῖς, μηδὲν διακρινόμενος, διότι ἐγὼ ἀπέστειλα αὐτούς. » Οὗτοι δὲ ἦσαν οἱ παρὰ τοῦ ἑκατοντάρχου. Καὶ οὕτως ἀναλογισάμενος, ἔγνων τὸ ῥῆμα Κυρίου τὸ γεγραμμένον, ὅτι « Πᾶς ὃς ἂν ἐπικαλέσηται τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου, σωθήσεται· » καὶ πάλιν· « Μνησθήσεται, καὶ ἐπιστραφήσεται πρὸς Κύριον πάντα τὰ πέρατα τῆς γῆς, καὶ προσκυνήσουσιν ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ πᾶσαι αἱ πατριαὶ τῶν ἐθνῶν· ὅτι τοῦ Κυρίου ἡ βασιλεία, καὶ αὐτὸς δεσπόζει τῶν ἐθνῶν. » Καὶ ὡς πανταχοῦ περὶ τῆς κλήσεως τῶν ἐθνῶν εἴρηται, ἐννοήσας, ἀναστὰς ἐπορεύθην σὺν αὐτοῖς, καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ ἀνδρός· καὶ ἔτι μου διαγγέλλοντος τὸν λόγον, ἔπεσε τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον ἐπ' αὐτὸν καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς παρόντας σὺν αὐτῷ, καθὼς καὶ ἐφ' ἡμᾶς ἐν ἀρχῇ, καὶ οὐδὲν διέκρινε μεταξὺ ἡμῶν τε καὶ αὐτῶν, τῇ πίστει καθαρίσας τὰς καρδίας αὐτῶν. Καὶ ἔγνων ἐγὼ ὅτι οὐκ ἔστι προσωπολήπτης ὁ Θεὸς, ἀλλ' ἐν παντὶ ἔθνει ὁ φοβούμενος αὐτὸν καὶ ἐργαζόμενος δικαιοσύνην, δεκτὸς αὐτῷ ἔσται· ἐξέστησαν δὲ ἐπὶ τούτῳ καὶ οἱ ἐκ περιτομῆς πιστοί. Νῦν οὖν τί πειράζετε τὸν Θεὸν, ἐπιθεῖναι ζυγὸν βαρὺν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον τῶν μαθητῶν, ὃν οὔτε ἡμεῖς, οὔτε οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν ἰσχύσαμεν βαστάσαι; ἀλλὰ διὰ τῆς χάριτος τοῦ Κυρίου πιστεύομεν σωθῆναι, καθ' ὃν τρόπον κἀκεῖνοι· ἔλυσε γὰρ ἡμᾶς ὁ Κύριος ἐκ τῶν δεσμῶν, καὶ ἠλάφρυνε τὸ φορτίον ἡμῶν, καὶ τὸν ζυγὸν τοῦ βάρους πραότητι ἔλυσεν ἀφ' ἡμῶν.» Ταῦτα δέ μου εἰπόντος, ἐσίγησεν ἅπαν τὸ πλῆθος· ἀπεκρίθη δὲ Ἰάκωβος ὁ τοῦ Κυρίου ἀδελφὸς, λέγων· « Ἄνδρες ἀδελφοὶ, ἀκούσατε. Συμεὼν ἐξηγήσατο, καθὼς πρῶτον ὁ Θεὸς ἐπεσκέψατο λαβεῖν ἐξ ἐθνῶν λαὸν τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ· καὶ τούτῳ συμφωνοῦσιν οἱ λόγοι τῶν προφητῶν, καθὼς γέγραπται·—Μετὰ ταῦτα ἀναστρέψω, καὶ ἀνοικοδομήσω τὴν σκηνὴν Δαβὶδ τὴν πεπτωκυῖαν, καὶ τὰ κατεσκαμμένα αὐτῆς ἀνοικοδομήσω, καὶ ἀνορθώσω αὐτὴν, ὅπως ἂν ἐκζητήσωσιν οἱ κατάλοιποι τῶν ἀνθρώπων τὸν Κύριον, καὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, ἐφ' οὓς ἐπικέκληται τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐπ' αὐτοὺς, λέγει Κύριος ὁ ποιῶν ταῦτα.—Γνωστὰ ἀπ' αἰῶνός ἐστι τῷ Θεῷ πάντα τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ. Διὸ ἐγὼ ἔκρινα μὴ παρενοχλεῖν τοῖς ἀπὸ τῶν ἐθνῶν ἐπιστρέφουσιν ἐπὶ τὸν Θεόν· ἀλλ' ἐπιστεῖλαι αὐτοῖς τοῦ ἀπέχεσθαι ἀπὸ τῶν ἀλισγημάτων τῶν ἐθνῶν εἰδωλοθύτου, καὶ αἵματος, καὶ πνικτοῦ, καὶ πορνείας· » ἅπερ καὶ τοῖς πάλαι
call common." And this happened three times; and the vessel was taken up into heaven. And as I was at a loss what the vision might be, the Spirit said to me: "Behold, men are seeking you; but rise and go with them, doubting nothing, because I have sent them." And these were the men from the centurion. And so, reckoning it over, I understood the word of the Lord that is written: "Everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved"; and again: "All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations shall worship before Him; for the kingdom is the Lord's, and He is master of the nations." And having considered how everywhere it has been spoken concerning the calling of the nations, I rose and went with them, and entered the house of the man; and while I was still proclaiming the word, the Holy Spirit fell upon him and upon those present with him, just as also upon us in the beginning, and He made no distinction between us and them, having cleansed their hearts by faith. And I understood that God is no respecter of persons, but in every nation he who fears Him and works righteousness shall be acceptable to Him; and the faithful of the circumcision also were astonished at this. Now therefore why do you tempt God, to lay a heavy yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither we nor our fathers were strong enough to bear? But through the grace of the Lord we believe that we are saved, in the same manner as they also; for the Lord has loosed us from the bonds, and has lightened our burden, and in gentleness has loosed from us the yoke of the weight." And when I had said these things, the whole multitude kept silence; and James the brother of the Lord answered, saying: "Men, brethren, hear. Simeon has related how God first visited to take out of the nations a people for His name; and with this the words of the prophets agree, as it is written: After these things I will return, and I will build up again the tent of David that has fallen, and its ruins I will build up again, and I will set it upright, so that the rest of men may seek out the Lord, and all the nations upon whom My name has been called, says the Lord Who does these things. Known to God from of old are all His works. Therefore I judge that we should not trouble those from the nations who are turning to God, but should write to them to abstain from the pollutions of the nations, from what is sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from fornication"; which things were also for those of old

Ἅπερ καὶ τοῖς πάλαι νενομοθέτητο. Ut homines sanctos qui ante Moysen vixerunt, nemo dixerit comedisse idolothyta, aut fuisse fornicatores ; ita non abhorret a vero, eosdem abstinuisse sanguine et suffocato. Siquidem ante diluvium vescendae carnis copiam non esse factam docetur a Tertulliano iv De jejuniis ; Origene ad Genes. i, 29 ; Basilio, orat. 1 De jejunio ; Chrysostomo, homil. 27, in Genesim ; Hieronymo adversus Jovinianum lib. i, cap. 10 ; lib. ii, cap. 10 ; Theodoro ac Theodorito in hujus Quaestionibus in Genesim, num. 39 [first digit indistinct in the image; possibly 59], 51. 55. Et post diluvium audierunt Noe ac filii ejus a Deo : Carnem cum sanguine non comedetis. In interdictione autem sanguinis continetur interdictum suffocati, juxta illud Chrysostomi loco laudato : Τί ἐστι κρέας ἐν αἵματι ψυχῆς ; τουτέστι, πνικτόν· τοῦ γὰρ ἀλόγου ἡ ψυχὴ τὸ αἷμα τυγχάνει. Tertullianus Apologetici cap. 9 : Propterea quoque suffocatis, et morticinis abstinemus, ut quo sanguine contaminemur, vel intra viscera sepulto. Consulantur quae inferius in Recognit. i, 30. Cot.

"Which had also been laid down as law for those of old." As no one would say that the holy men who lived before Moses ate things sacrificed to idols or were fornicators, so it is not far from the truth that the same men abstained from blood and from what is strangled. For that leave to eat flesh was not given before the flood is taught by Tertullian, On Fasts 4; Origen on Genesis 1:29; Basil, oration 1 On Fasting; Chrysostom, homily 27 on Genesis; Jerome, Against Jovinian, book 1, chapter 10, and book 2, chapter 10; Theodore, and Theodoret in his Questions on Genesis, nos. 39, 51, 55. And after the flood Noah and his sons heard from God: "You shall not eat flesh with blood." Now in the prohibition of blood is contained the prohibition of what is strangled, according to that saying of Chrysostom in the place cited: "What is 'flesh in the blood of its life'? That is, what is strangled; for the life of the irrational animal is its blood." Tertullian, Apology, chapter 9: "For this reason too we abstain from things strangled and from things that die of themselves, lest we be defiled by any blood, even if buried within the entrails" [the page prints "ut quo" for "ne quo"]. Let what is said below at Recognitions 1.30 be consulted. Cotelier.

appointed by law, the men of nature before the Law, Enos, Enoch, Noah, Melchizedek, Job, and whoever else had been such. Then it seemed good to us the apostles, and to the bishop James, and to the presbyters with the whole Church, having chosen men from among ourselves, to send them with Barnabas and Paul, the apostle of the nations, the man of Tarsus, namely Judas who is called Barsabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren, having written by their hand these things: "The apostles and the presbyters and the brethren, to the brethren who are of the nations throughout Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, greeting. Since we have heard that certain persons from among us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, to whom we gave no charge, it seemed good to us, having come to one mind, to choose men and send them out to you, with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, men who have given up their lives for our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom you sent your message. And we have sent with them Judas and Silas, who themselves also report the same things by word of mouth. For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no further burden, except these necessary things: to abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from fornication. Keeping yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell." The letter, then, we sent off; but we ourselves remained on in Jerusalem for a good many days, inquiring together about what is of common benefit, for the setting of things right.

Μετὰ δὲ χρόνον ἱκανὸν ἐπισκεψάμενοι τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς, καὶ στηρίξαντες αὐτοὺς τῷ λόγῳ τῆς εὐσεβείας, καὶ παρεγγυησάμενοι φεύγειν αὐτοὺς, οἳ ἐπ' ὀνόματι Χριστοῦ καὶ Μωσέως, πολεμοῦσι Χριστῷ καὶ Μωσεῖ, καὶ ἐν δορᾷ προβάτων τὸν λύκον κατακρύπτουσιν.

And after a considerable time, having visited the brethren, and having strengthened them with the word of piety, and having charged them to flee those who, under the name of Christ and of Moses, make war on Christ and Moses, and hide the wolf in a sheep's hide. For these are false Christs, and false prophets, and false apostles, deceivers and corrupters, portions for foxes and destroyers of the low-growing vineyards; because of whom "the love of the many shall grow cold; but he who has endured to the end unperverted, this man shall be saved"; concerning whom the Lord, making us secure, gave charge, saying: "There shall come to you men in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves; from their fruits you shall know

On account of whom we also, now gathered together in one place, Peter and Andrew, James and John the sons of Zebedee, Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Lebbaeus who is surnamed Thaddaeus, and Simon the Cananaean, and Matthias who was voted in among us in place of Judas; and James the brother of the Lord and bishop of Jerusalem, and Paul the teacher of the nations, the vessel of election, all together and gathered in one place, have written to you this catholic teaching, for the strengthening of you who have been entrusted with the universal oversight; in which we declare to you that there is one only God Almighty, beside Whom there is no other; and that Him alone you are to revere and worship, through Jesus Christ our Lord, in the all-holy Spirit; and to use the sacred Scriptures, the Law and the Prophets; to honour parents; to flee every lawless deed; to believe in the resurrection, and the judgement; and to look for the recompense; and to approach all His creatures with thanksgiving, as works of God and having nothing evil in themselves; and to marry lawfully, for such marriage is blameless; because also "by the Lord a wife is fitted to a husband" (Prov. 19:14); and the Lord says: "He Who made them from the beginning made them male and female, and said: For this cause a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh" (Matt. 19:4–5). Nor indeed, after marriage, let it be permitted to cast out her who is without reproach. "For you shall keep watch," it says, "over your spirit; and do not forsake the wife of your youth; for she is the partner of your life, and the remnant of your spirit; and I made her, and no other" (Mal. 2:14–15). For the Lord declares: "What God has yoked together, let man not separate" (Matt. 19:6). For the wife is a partner of life, united by God into one body out of two; and he who divides the one back again into two is an enemy of God's workmanship, and an adversary of His providence. In like manner he who keeps her that has been corrupted is a transgressor of the ordinance of nature; since "he who keeps an adulteress

For few have penetrated to the depths of this profound question, as blessed Augustine did with wonderful skill. Cotelier.

"When I am dying, I am baptized." Against the putting off both of baptism and of penance until death the holy Fathers inveigh everywhere; with whom Tertullian is to be joined, On Penance, chapter 6, although in the book On Baptism, chapter 18, he thinks the delaying of baptism more useful. Hence they were not accustomed to promote to the priesthood and to the clergy the clinici, that is, the sick who had water poured on them and were baptized in bed, as we are taught by canon 12 of the Synod of Neocaesarea and by the letter of Cornelius in Eusebius, book 6, chapter 43.

Nor [do we bid you] be circumcised in the flesh, but that for the faithful the circumcision of the heart in the spirit should suffice. "For be circumcised," it says, "to your God, and circumcise the foreskin of your heart."

CHAPTER XV. That one ought neither to rebaptize, nor yet to accept the baptism given by the impious, which is not a baptism but a defilement.
Ὁμοίως καὶ βαπτίσματι ἑνὶ ἀρκεῖσθαι μόνῳ, τῷ εἰς τὸν τοῦ Κυρίου θάνατον δεδομένῳ· οὐ τῷ παρὰ τῶν δυσωνύμων αἱρετικῶν, ἀλλὰ τῷ παρὰ τῶν ἀμέμπτων ἱερέων δεδομένῳ εἰς τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Πατρὸς καὶ τοῦ Υἱοῦ καὶ τοῦ ἁγίου Πνεύματος. Μήτε δὲ τὸ παρὰ τῶν ἀσεβῶν, δεκτὸν ὑμῖν ἔστω· μήτε τὸ παρὰ τῶν ὁσίων ἀκυρούσθω διὰ δευτέρου. Ὡς γὰρ εἷς ὁ Θεὸς, εἷς ὁ Χριστὸς, καὶ εἷς ὁ Παράκλητος, εἷς δὲ καὶ ὁ τοῦ Κυρίου ἐν σώματι θάνατος· οὕτως ἓν ἔστω καὶ τὸ εἰς αὐτὸν διδόμενον βάπτισμα. Οἱ δὲ παρὰ ἀσεβῶν δεχόμενοι μόλυσμα, κοινωνοὶ τῆς γνώμης αὐτῶν γενήσονται. Οὐ γάρ εἰσιν ἐκεῖνοι ἱερεῖς. Λέγει γὰρ πρὸς αὐτοὺς ὁ Θεός· « Ἐπεὶ καὶ σὺ ἀπώσω γνῶσιν, ἀπώσομαί σε κἀγὼ τοῦ ἱερατεύειν μοι. » Οὔτε μὴν οἱ βαπτισθέντες ὑπ' αὐτῶν, μεμύηνται, ἀλλὰ μεμολυσμένοι ὑπάρχουσιν, οὐκ ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν λαμβάνοντες, ἀλλὰ δεσμὸν ἀσεβείας Οὐ μὴν δὲ, ἀλλὰ καὶ τοὺς μεμυημένους, ἐκ δευτέρου βαπτίζειν πειρώμενοι, ἀνασταυροῦσι τὸν Κύριον, ἀναιροῦσιν αὐτὸν ἐκ δευτέρου, γελῶσι τὰ θεῖα, μυκτηρίζουσι τὰ ἅγια, ὑβρίζουσι τὸ Πνεῦμα, τὸ αἷμα τὸ ἅγιον ὡς κοινὸν ἀτιμάζουσιν, ἀσεβοῦσιν εἰς τὸν ἀποστείλαντα, εἰς τὸν παθόντα, εἰς τὸν μαρτυρήσαντα· ἀλλὰ καὶ ὁ ἐκ καταφρονήσεως μὴ βουλόμενος βαπτισθῆναι, ὡς ἄπιστος κατακριθήσεται, καὶ ὀνειδισθήσεται ὡς ἀχάριστος καὶ ἀγνώμων· λέγει γὰρ ὁ Κύριος· « Ἐὰν μή τις βαπτισθῇ ἐξ ὕδατος καὶ Πνεύματος, οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθῃ εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τῶν οὐρανῶν. » Καὶ πάλιν· « Ὁ πιστεύσας, καὶ βαπτισθεὶς, σωθήσεται· ὁ δὲ ἀπιστήσας, κατακριθήσεται.» Ὁ δὲ λέγων, ὅτι « Ὅταν τελευτῶ, βαπτίζομαι, ἵνα μὴ ἁμαρτήσω, καὶ ῥυπάνω
Likewise also be content with one baptism only, that which is given into the death of the Lord; not that given by the ill-named heretics, but that given by the blameless priests into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. And let neither that which comes from the impious be acceptable to you, nor that which comes from the holy be made void by a second. For as God is one, Christ one, and the Paraclete one, and one also the death of the Lord in the body, so let the baptism given into Him also be one. But those who receive defilement from the impious will become partakers of their mind. For those men are not priests. For God says to them: "Since you also have thrust away knowledge, I also will thrust you away from serving Me as priest." Nor indeed have those baptized by them been initiated, but they are defiled, receiving not remission of sins but a bond of impiety. Moreover, those also who attempt to baptize a second time those who have been initiated crucify the Lord afresh, slay Him a second time, laugh at divine things, mock holy things, insult the Spirit, dishonour the holy blood as common, act impiously towards Him Who sent, towards Him Who suffered, towards Him Who bore witness. But he also who out of contempt is unwilling to be baptized will be condemned as an unbeliever, and will be reproached as ungrateful and senseless; for the Lord says: "Unless one is baptized of water and Spirit, he shall not enter into the kingdom of the heavens." And again: "He who has believed and been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned." But he who says: "When I am dying, I am baptized, lest I sin and defile

Ἐπιστρέψαι. In eodem praeponitur φησί. Citatur Ecclesiasticus, quamvis suppresso nomine et φησί refertur ad eum qui verba, quae leguntur hic, scripsit. Sic saepe fit apud scriptores ecclesiasticos, ut viri docti notarunt in epistol. Barnabae. Sic et Latini, inquit, non addito nomine inquientis, quod saepe in Seneca occurrit. Cler.

Ἐπιστρέψαι [“to turn back”]. In the same [manuscript] φησί [“he says”] is set before it. Ecclesiasticus is being cited, although the name is suppressed, and φησί refers to him who wrote the words that are read here. This often happens in ecclesiastical writers, as learned men have noted on the Epistle of Barnabas. So too the Latins use inquit, without adding the name of the one speaking, which occurs often in Seneca. Clericus.

Βαπτίζετε δὲ ὑμῶν καὶ τὰ νήπια.

Eas colliges ex Tertulliano, lib. De baptismo, cap. antepenult.; Cypriano epist. 59 et Gregorio Nazianzeno orat. 40, p. 658. Sane ab Origene et Augustino baptismus parvulorum apostolica dicitur traditio. Cot.

Βαπτίζετε δὲ ὑμῶν καὶ τὰ νήπια [“And baptize your infants also”]. The apostles and apostolic men baptized at once infants placed in danger of death; the rest later or sooner, according to the judgement of the parents and particular circumstances: whence it came about that various customs afterwards prevailed as to the age of children to be baptized. You will gather them from Tertullian, in the book On Baptism, the last chapter but two; from Cyprian, Epistle 59; and from Gregory Nazianzen, Oration 40, p. 658. Certainly by Origen and Augustine the baptism of little children is called an apostolic tradition. Cotelerius.

Οἱ περὶ Σίμωνα καὶ Κλεόβιον [“Simon and Cleobius and their followers”]. Recognitions, book II, n. 38. Jerome on Matthew 24:5: “One of whom is Simon the Samaritan, of whom we read in the Acts of the Apostles, who said that he was the great power; leaving this also, among other things, written in his volumes: I am the word of God, I am the beautiful one, I am the Paraclete, I am the almighty, I am all that is of God.” The author of the book On the Divine Names, ch. 6: Σίμωνος ἀντιῤῥητικοὶ λόγοι [“the controversial discourses of Simon”]. And in the Arabic Preface to the Council of Nicaea: “But those faithless Simonites forged a Gospel for themselves, which, dividing it into four tomes, they called the book of the four corners and hinges of the world.” Of writings of Cleobius I have not read elsewhere; but it is likely that he too stained paper with his poisons, as Origen on John 4:25 and Eulogius in Photius, codex 250, attest was done by Dositheus.

Ἐπ' ὀνόματι Χριστοῦ [“Under the name of Christ”]. “The Saviour left behind no volume of his own teaching: which the ravings in most of the apocrypha pretend.” Jerome on Ezekiel 44:29. That is, most apocrypha bore on their front the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ: for example, the Epistle of Jesus to King Abgar, mentioned by many after Eusebius; and in the Roman synod of Gelasius, together with the said epistle, the book On the Infancy of the Saviour, the book On the Nativity of the Saviour, the Cento on Christ; in St. Augustine, in the epistle to Ceretius, the Hymn of the Lord; and in book I On the Harmony of the Evangelists, ch. 9, the epistles of Christ to Peter and Paul On Magical Arts; in the second session of the Roman council held in the year 745, the Epistle of Jesus Christ which fell from heaven. Besides, they have published from the Philologia of Suidas the apocryphal history On Jesus Christ the Son of God, Saviour of the World, which is found in his Lexicon under the word Ἰησοῦς. Lastly, in the Ὁδηγός [Guide] of Anastasius, ch. 13, p. 260, there are rejected as false τὰ λεγόμενα Παιδικὰ θαύματα τοῦ Χριστοῦ, what are called the Childhood Miracles of Christ. And the beginning of this apocryphon, or of one akin to it, occupies the last leaves of the royal manuscript 2279, in this manner: ‖ The book [Greek: Discourse] on the childhood and mighty deeds of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I, Thomas the Israelite, have thought it necessary to make known to all the brethren from among the nations the childhood deeds and mighty works of Christ, which our Lord and God Jesus Christ did, being born in our country, in Bethlehem; I being astonished at them; of which this is the beginning. The child Jesus was five years old. And when it had rained and the rain had ceased, Jesus was playing with other children of the Hebrews at the crossing of a certain stream, and the waters flowing by were gathered into pools. And these waters straightway became clean and wholesome. By a word alone he struck them, and they obeyed him altogether.

Ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι, ἐθαμβήθησαν, καὶ ἀπελθόντες διηγήσαντο τοῖς πρώτοις αὐτῶν ὅπερ εἶδον, σημεῖον πεποιηκὼς ὁ Ἰησοῦς. Ὁ δὲ υἱὸς Ἄννα τοῦ γραμματέως ἦν ἑστὼς ἐκεῖ μετὰ Ἰωσὴφ, καὶ λαβὼν κλάδον ἰτέας, ἐξέχεε τὰ ὕδατα ἃ συνήγαγεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς. Ἰδὼν δὲ τὸ παιδίον Ἰησοῦς τὸ γινόμενον ὑπ' αὐτοῦ, ἠγανάκτησε, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· Ἀνόητε, τί ἠδίκησάν σε οἱ λάκκοι, καὶ ἐξέχεας τὰ ὕδατα; Ἰδοὺ νῦν καὶ σὺ ὡς δένδρον ἀποξηρανθῇς, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐνέγκῃς φύλλα, οὔτε κλάδους, οὔτε καρπόν. Καὶ εὐθέως ἐξηράνθη ὅλος. Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἀνεχώρησε καὶ ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ· οἱ δὲ γονεῖς τοῦ ξηρανθέντος ἐβάστασαν φέροντες αὐτὸν θρηνοῦντες τὴν νεότητα αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἤγοντο πρὸς τὸν Ἰωσὴφ, καὶ ἐνεκάλουν αὐτὸν, ὅτι Τοιοῦτον ἔχεις παιδίον ἐργαζόμενον τοιαῦτα; Εἶτα ὁ Ἰησοῦς παρακληθεὶς παρὰ πάντων, ἰάτρευσεν αὐτὸν, ἐάσαντός τι μέλος τινὰ ἀργὸν ὀλίγον, εἰς τὸ προσέχειν αὐτούς. Πάλιν οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐπορεύετο διὰ τῆς κώμης, καὶ παιδίον τρέχον διεῤῥάγη εἰς τὸν ὦμον αὐτοῦ· καὶ πικρανθεὶς ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ· Οὐκ ἀπελεύσῃ τὴν ὁδόν σου. Καὶ παραχρῆμα πεσὼν ἀπέθανεν. Ἰδόντες δέ τινες τὸ γινόμενον, εἶπον· Πόθεν τοῦτο τὸ παιδίον ἐγεννήθη, ὅτι πᾶν ῥῆμα αὐτοῦ ἔργον ἐστὶν ἕτοιμον; Καὶ προσελθόντες οἱ γονεῖς τοῦ τεθνεῶτος τῷ Ἰωσὴφ, κατεμέμφοντο λέγοντες· Σὺ τοῦτο τὸ παιδίον ἔχων, οὐ δύνασαι μεθ' ἡμῶν οἰκεῖν ἐν τῇ πόλει ἡμῶν. Ἢ δίδασκε τὸ παιδίον σου αὐτῷ εὐλογεῖν καὶ μὴ καταρᾶσθαι, ἢ ἔξελθε σὺν αὐτῷ τῶν ὧδε· τὰ γὰρ παιδία ἡμῶν θανατοῖ. Προσκαλεσάμενος δὲ ὁ Ἰωσὴφ τὸ παιδίον κατ' ἰδίαν, ἐνουθέτει αὐτὸ λέγων· Ἵνα τί τοιαῦτα κατεργάζῃ, καὶ πάσχουσιν οὕτως, καὶ μισοῦσιν ἡμᾶς καὶ διώκουσιν; Εἶπεν δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Ἐγὼ οἶδα ὅτι τὰ ῥήματά σου ταῦτα οὐκ εἰσὶν τὰ σὰ, ἀλλὰ διὰ σὲ σιγήσω· ἐκεῖνοι δὲ οἱ εἰρηκότες σοι ταῦτα, οἴσουσι τὴν κόλασιν τὴν αἰώνιον. Καὶ εὐθέως οἱ ἐγκαλοῦντες αὐτὸν ἐτυφλώθησαν· καὶ οἱ ἰδόντες ἐφοβήθησαν πάντες σφόδρα, καὶ ἠπόρουν, καὶ ἔλεγον περὶ αὐτοῦ, ὅτι πᾶν ῥῆμα ὃ λέγει, εἴτε καλὸν, εἴτε κακὸν, ἔργον γίνεται· καὶ ἐθαύμαζον. Ἰδόντες δὲ ὅτι τοῦτο ἐποίησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς, ἐγερθεὶς ὁ Ἰωσὴφ, ἐπελάβετο αὐτοῦ τὸ ὠτίον, καὶ ἔτιλεν αὐτό. Τὸ δὲ παιδίον ἠγανάκτησε, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· Ἀρκετόν σοί ἐστι, ζητεῖν καὶ μὴ εὑρίσκειν αὐτοὺς, καὶ μάλιστα οὐ σοφῶς ἔπραξας. Οὐκ οἶδας ὅτι σός εἰμι; μή με λύπει. Μαθητὴς δέ τις ὀνόματι Ζακχαῖος ἑστὼς ἐν μέρει τινὶ ἤκουσε τοῦ Ἰησοῦ ταῦτα λαλοῦντος τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐθαύμασε σφόδρα, ὅτι παιδίον ὂν τοιαῦτα φθέγγεται. Καὶ μετ' ὀλίγας ἡμέρας, προσήγγισε τῷ Ἰωσὴφ, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· Ὅτι παιδίον φρόνιμον ἔχεις, καὶ νοῦν ἔχει. Δεῦρο οὖν, παράδος μοι αὐτὸ, ὅπως μάθῃ γράμματα. Καθίσαντος δὲ αὐτοῦ τοῦ διδάξαι γράμματα τῷ Ἰησοῦ, ἤρξατο τὸ πρῶτον στοιχεῖον τὸ Ἄλεφ. Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς λέγει τὸ δεύτερον στοιχεῖον, Μπὲθ, Γκιμὲλ· καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ πάντα τὰ στοιχεῖα ἕως τέλους. Καὶ ἀναπτύξας βιβλίον, τοὺς προφήτας ἐδίδασκε τὸν καθηγητήν. Αὐτὸς δὲ αἰσχυνθεὶς ἠπόρησεν ὅτι οὐκ οἶδε πόθεν αὐτὸς οἶδε τὰ γράμματα· καὶ ἐγερ- mero duodecim. Erant itaque una cum eo pueri ludentes. Quidam vero Judaeus, postquam vidit quae fecerat Jesus die Sabbati in fingendo luto, statim discessit, nuntiavitque patri ejus Josepho, dicens: Ecce filius tuus, dum secus rivos ludit, tulit lutum, finxitque ex eo passeres duodecim, et Sabbatum profanat. Igitur accedens Josephus ad locum, et cernens, inclamavit ipsum his verbis: Qua de causa haec agis in Sabbato, quando non licet? Jesus autem complosis manibus suis, acclamavit passeribus, dixitque illis: Ite, volate, ac mei viventes memores sitis. Tunc avolaverunt passerculi, et cum clamore egressi sunt. Id vero videntes Judaei, valde admirati sunt; atque abeuntes, narraverunt primoribus inter ipsos miraculum quod coram ipsis ediderat Jesus. Porro filius Annae scribae stabat illic cum Josepho; accepto ramo salicis, effudit aquas quas congregaverat Jesus. Hoc ab ipso perpetratum aspiciens puer Jesus, moleste tulit, dixitque illi: Stulte, qua te injuria affecerunt fossae, ut aquas diffunderes? Ecce jam tu quoque tanquam arbor arescas, nec afferas folia, neque ramos, neque fructum. Et illico totus aridus factus est. At Jesus secessit, abiitque in domum suam. Caeterum parentes illius qui aruerat, sublatum portaverant eum lugentes ipsius juventutem: et duxerunt ad Josephum, quem incusabant; cur ejusmodi habes puerum talia operantem? Postea Jesus obsecratus a cunctis, sanavit illum: reliquit tamen aliquod parvum membrum motus ac operationis expers, ut ii attenderent. Rursus itaque Jesus per vicum proficiscebatur; et puer currens irrupit in ejus humerum. Unae exacerbatus Jesus dixit illi: Non abibis viam tuam. Statimque cecidit puer ac mortuus est. Aspicientes autem nonnulli rem gestam, dixerunt: Unde natus est iste puer, quod omne verbum ipsius, opus est promptum? Et accedentes ad Josephum parentes illius qui interierat, conquerebantur dicentes: Tu cum puerum hunc habeas, non potes nobiscum habitare in civitate nostra. Aut doce puerum tuum ut ipse benedicat, non autem imprecetur, aut cum eo egredere ex his locis. Nam pueros nostros interficit. Advocato igitur puero seorsum, Josephus illum admonebat dicens: Quare hujusmodi facis, et sic patiuntur, oderuntque nos ac persequuntur? Respondit Jesus: Ego novi haec tua verba tua non esse; verum propter te tacebo; illi autem qui haec tibi suggesserunt, poenas dabunt sempiternas. Et continuo accusatores ipsius oculis privati sunt. Quique hoc viderunt, valde cuncti sunt perterriti, et haesitabant, dicebantque de illo, omnem sermonem qui ab ipso proferretur, sive bonum sive malum in opus procedere; atque mirabantur. Viso autem hoc Jesu opere, surgens Josephus auriculam ejus apprehensam vellicavit. Puer vero indignatus est, aitque illi: Sufficiat tibi quod illi quaerant et non inveniant. Minime fecisti sapienter. Nonne scis me tuum esse? Ne me molestia afficias. Porro quidam praeceptor nomine Zacchaeus, cum staret in aliquo loco, audivit haec de Jesu, ex ore patris ipsius; et miratus est valde, quod qui puer erat talia loqueretur. Paucosque post dies accessit ad Josephum, eique aixit: Puerum cordatum habes, qui mente praeditus est: Age ergo, trade mihi illum, ut discat litteras. Et cum sederet magister quo Jesum doceret litteras, coepit a primo elemento Aleph. Jesus vero pronuntiavit secundum elementum Beth, et Ghimel, reliquasque litteras ad finem usque ei protulit. Atque aperto libro, prophetas docebat praeceptorem. Qui pudore affectus haesit, quod nesciret unde is litteras cognovisset: surgensque reversus est domum, admi-

[… soft (clay)], He fashioned from it sparrows, twelve in number. Now there were also children playing with Him. But a certain Jew, seeing what Jesus had done on the Sabbath in moulding the clay, went away at once and reported it to His father Joseph, saying: Behold, your child, playing by the streams, has taken clay and fashioned from it twelve sparrows, and He profanes the Sabbath. And Joseph, coming to the place and seeing, cried out at Him, saying: Why do you do these things on the Sabbath, when it is not lawful to do them? But Jesus, clapping His palms together, cried out to the sparrows and said to them: Go, fly, and remember me while you live; and the sparrows, taking flight, went off chirping. And the Jews, seeing it, were amazed, and going away they related to their chief men what they had seen, Jesus having wrought a sign. Now the son of Annas the scribe was standing there with Joseph, and taking a branch of willow he poured out the waters which Jesus had gathered. And the child Jesus, seeing what was done by him, was indignant and said to him: Fool, what wrong did the pools do you, that you have poured out the waters? Behold, now may you also wither like a tree, and you shall bear neither leaves, nor branches, nor fruit. And immediately he was wholly withered. And Jesus withdrew and went away to His house; but the parents of the withered one took him up and carried him, lamenting his youth; and they brought him to Joseph and accused him: Have you such a child, working such things? Then Jesus, entreated by all, healed him, leaving some member idle for a little, that they might take heed. Again, then, Jesus was going through the village, and a child, running, dashed against His shoulder; and Jesus, embittered, said to him: You shall not go your way. And immediately he fell and died. And some, seeing what happened, said: Whence was this child born, that every word of His is a deed ready done? And the parents of the dead one, coming to Joseph, blamed him, saying: You, having this child, cannot dwell with us in our city. Either teach your child to bless and not to curse, or go forth with Him from this place; for He puts our children to death. And Joseph, calling the child aside privately, admonished Him, saying: Why do you work such things, and they suffer so, and hate us and persecute us? And Jesus said: I know that these words of yours are not your own, yet for your sake I will be silent; but those who have said these things to you shall bear eternal punishment. And immediately those who accused Him were blinded; and those who saw were all exceedingly afraid, and were at a loss, and said of Him that every word He speaks, whether good or evil, becomes a deed; and they marvelled. And seeing that Jesus had done this, Joseph rose up, took hold of His ear, and pulled it. But the child was indignant and said to him: It is enough for you that they seek and do not find, and above all you have not acted wisely. Do you not know that I am yours? Do not grieve me. Now a certain disciple [so the Greek; the Latin has: teacher], Zacchaeus by name, standing in a certain place, heard Jesus saying these things to His father, and marvelled exceedingly that, being a child, He utters such things. And after a few days he approached Joseph and said to him: You have a prudent child, and He has understanding. Come then, hand Him over to me, that He may learn letters. And when he had sat down to teach Jesus letters, he began with the first letter, Aleph. But Jesus says the second letter, Beth, Gimel; and He told him all the letters to the end. And unrolling a book, He taught the teacher the prophets. And he, put to shame, was at a loss, because he did not know whence the child knew letters; and ris[ing …]

<!-- note: Col. 952 (page 951–952) holds NO in-column editors' prose proper (no argumentum, synopsis or monitum). Under the running head stand only two full-width lines of the author's text (Latin, col. 951; Greek, col. 952), then the heading VARIORUM NOTÆ, and the rest of the page, to its foot, is one continuous variorum note in four sub-columns (Greek | Latin | Latin | Greek): the editor's quotation of the apocryphal Infancy narrative, Greek with facing Latin. Set here as instructed for the whole foot, both halves; reading order is Greek sub-column 1 then 4, Latin sub-column 2 then 3. The note runs over from the previous page (the Greek begins mid-word-group at "τρυφερὸν", printed "τ ρυφερὸν"; the Latin begins mid-word at "mero", i.e. [nu]mero) and runs on to the next page (Greek breaks at "ἐγερ-", Latin at "admi-"). No note numeral and no line of numbered scripture references is visible on this page; the note's number and the column of its call could not be determined from these three images (presumably the note called at the passage on apocryphal books, near "apud veteres nonnulli conscripserunt", col. 951 — unverified). The English is made from the Greek; Migne's Latin differs slightly (e.g. "praeceptor" for Μαθητὴς, "ex ore patris ipsius"). Misprints kept as printed: "Unae" (for Unde), "aixit" (for dixit); Greek "ἐάσαντός τι μέλος τινὰ" and "Μπὲθ, Γκιμὲλ" as printed. Some faint letters in the Latin (e.g. "Postea", "sapienter", "molestia", "quidam") are read from context. No "existing notes" file was read, so nothing was merged. --> <!-- Q4a: (1) The page prints a small raised asterisk, the editor's mark of a doubtful reading, directly after "Ἰδόντες" (before "δὲ ὅτι τοῦτο ἐποίησεν") and directly after "Μπὲθ" (before the comma); the two marks are not set in the source line, because a pair of bare asterisks in one paragraph would act as italic markup. (2) The numeral sign after ιβ is set as the Greek numeral sign (U+0374), not the elision apostrophe. (3) English: He/Him/His for Christ throughout (house style); the middle "ἤγοντο" rendered actively; "Μαθητὴς" rendered as printed, with the Latin's word in brackets. (4) NOT seen by Q4a (outside its images): the head of Greek sub-column 1, from "τρυφερὸν" to "καὶ εἶπεν αὐ-" (about 90 words), and all but the line-ends of the head of Latin sub-column 2, from "mero duodecim" to "memores sitis. Tunc" (about 75 words); the visible line-ends agree with the text set. Everything else in both languages was compared word by word and agrees with the page. (5) UNSURE: "Unae" and "aixit" may be a damaged italic d rather than a wrong letter; kept as the setter left them. -->

Ἐν τοῖς παλαιοῖς. Talis liber, prophetia Chami, quam a Pherecyde expressam refert Clemens Alexandrinus centone 6, p. 642. Quod autem, ait Tertullianus, De anima, cap. 2, si philosophi etiam illa incursaverunt, quae penes nos apocryphorum confessione damnantur, etc. Talis quoque τῶν παρ' Ἑβραίοις φερομένων ἀποκρύφων ἡ ἐπιγραφομένη Ἰωσὴφ προσευχή, apud Origenem tom. V in Joannis Evangelium; qui alibi saepe secretorum, apud Judaeos, voluminum mentionem facit. Additur a S. Epiphanio in libro De mensuris et ponderibus; quam vere, non excutio nunc; per LXX in Graecum sermonem translatos fuisse libros apocryphos 72, seu potius 22, probabilius enim corrigetur numerus capitis decimi per numerum capitis quinti, οβʹ per κβʹ, quam vice versa. Sed cogitent viri docti de loco deplorato in dicto cap. 5: Αὗται αἱ βίβλοι τὸν τρόπον ὃν εἴπομεν ἡρμηνεύθησαν, κατὰ περίοδον ἑκάστῃ ζυγῇ ἑρμηνευτῶν ἐπιδιδόμεναι, καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς πρώτης ζυγῆς τῇ δευτέρᾳ, καὶ πάλιν ἀπὸ τῆς δευτέρας τῇ τρίτῃ, καὶ οὕτως παρῆλθον κελεύουσαι ἑκάστη τριακονταεξάκις ἑρμηνευθεῖσαι, ὡς ᾄδεται λόγος, καὶ εἴκοσι δύο τῶν ἀποκρύφων. Nihil succurrit, praeter κέλλῃ ἐνοῦσαι ἑκάστῃ. Hi libri sacrae Scripturae eo quem diximus modo translati sunt, in orbem unicuique pari interpretum tributi, a primo pari ad secundum, rursusque a secundo ad tertium: atque ita per singulas cellas fuerunt ac transierunt, trigesies sexies conversi, ut fama percrebuit. Una cum viginti duobus apocryphis. Quid si quis harioletur κελλευώσει ἑκάστῃ, hoc est per unamquamque, ut aeque barbare loquar, cellationem? Praeter haec apocrypha confixere alia haeretici, et maximis antiquissimisque nominibus donavere, Evae, Sethi ac septem ejus liberorum, Abrahami, Moysis, aliorum, tradente Epiphanio. Cot.

Ἐν τοῖς παλαιοῖς [“Among the ancients”]. Such a book is the prophecy of Cham, which Clement of Alexandria, Stromata 6, p. 642, reports as drawn upon by Pherecydes. “But if,” says Tertullian, On the Soul, ch. 2, “the philosophers also have run upon those things which among us are condemned under the designation of apocrypha,” etc. Such also, “of the apocrypha current among the Hebrews, the one entitled the Prayer of Joseph,” in Origen, tome V on the Gospel of John; who elsewhere often makes mention of secret volumes among the Jews. It is added by St. Epiphanius in the book On Weights and Measures — how truly, I do not now examine — that 72 apocryphal books were translated into the Greek tongue by the Seventy, or rather 22; for the number of the tenth chapter will more probably be corrected by the number of the fifth chapter, οβʹ by κβʹ, than the reverse. But let learned men think about the desperate passage in the said ch. 5: “These books were translated in the manner we have said, being given out in rotation to each pair of translators, and from the first pair to the second, and again from the second to the third, and thus they passed along κελεύουσαι each, translated thirty-six times, as the report is sung, and twenty-two of the apocrypha.” Nothing occurs to me except κέλλῃ ἐνοῦσαι ἑκάστῃ [“being in each cell”]. “These books of sacred Scripture were translated in the manner we have said, assigned in rotation to each pair of translators, from the first pair to the second, and again from the second to the third: and so they were in, and passed through, each of the cells, translated thirty-six times, as the report has spread. Together with twenty-two apocrypha.” What if someone should divine κελλευώσει ἑκάστῃ, that is, through each — to speak equally barbarously — “celling”? Besides these apocrypha the heretics forged others, and endowed them with the greatest and most ancient names, of Eve, of Seth and his seven children, of Abraham, of Moses, of others, as Epiphanius relates.

Nam parva Genesis, λεπτὴ Γένεσις, Λεπτογένεσις, Μικρογένεσις memoratur a Hieronymo, epist. 127, mans. 18 et 24, qui id Geneseos apocryphum Hebraice legerat. Memoratur a Gelasio his verbis: Liber de filiabus Adae, hoc est Leptogenesis, apocryphus. Item a Georgio Syncello, Zonara, Glyca. Sed insigniter ab Epiphanio haeresi 39, n. 6, nec sine difficultate: Ὡς δὲ ἐν Ἰωβηλαίοις εὑρίσκεται, τῇ καὶ Λεπτογενέσει καλουμένῃ, etc. Obscurum quippe, cur τῇ λεπτῇ Γενέσει nomen τὰ Ἰωβηλαῖα inditum fuerit; tacuitque qui docere poterat doctissimus Petavius. Conjecerim, quia verbum יבל significat deducere, et nomen יובל rivum, aquarum processum: quae Genesi atque originibus conveniunt, ut fusius videre est in R. Mose Nachmanide, ubi de jubilaeo disserit. Vide Jos. Scaligerum Anim. in Euseb., p. 16. Id.

Μωσέως [“Of Moses”]. Four secret and hidden writings enjoyed that illustrious name: the Mystical Discourses, the Testament, the Assumption or Ascension, and the Revelation. You have the book of the Mystical Discourses of Moses in the Acts of the Council of Nicaea, Morel's edition in octavo, pp. 110, 111, Commelin's in folio, p. 28, line 6; the Testament of Moses in the Athanasian Synopsis, in the Stichometry of Nicephorus of Constantinople, and in the list set above at the beginning of the notes on this work of the Constitutions; likewise the Assumption in Origen, On First Principles III, 2; in Athanasius and Nicephorus at the places just named; the Acts of the Council of Nicaea, Morel's edition, pp. 110, 131, 134; Commelin's, pp. 28 and 33; and Evodius seems to mean it in his letter to St. Augustine, no. 258 among the Augustinian letters. Lastly, George Cedrenus cites the Apocalypse of Moses in his Compendium of Histories; and George Syncellus, Chronography p. 27, will have it that Galatians 6:15 was taken from it; on which testimony of Paul it is noted in the Royal codices 607 and 1253 that it is from an apocryphon of Moses. You will observe especially the words of Cedrenus, Basel edition, p. 3, line 32: “As is reported in the Little Genesis, which some say is also the Apocalypse of Moses”; and p. 6, line 39: “As the Little Genesis of Moses says.” For the Little Genesis — λεπτὴ Γένεσις, Leptogenesis, Microgenesis — is mentioned by Jerome, Epistle 127, stations 18 and 24, who had read that apocryphon of Genesis in Hebrew. It is mentioned by Gelasius in these words: “The book on the daughters of Adam, that is Leptogenesis, apocryphal.” Likewise by George Syncellus, Zonaras, Glycas. But notably by Epiphanius, Heresy 39, n. 6, and not without difficulty: “As is found in the Jubilees, which is also called Leptogenesis,” etc. For it is obscure why the name “Jubilees” was given to the Little Genesis; and the most learned Petavius, who could have taught us, was silent. I would conjecture: because the verb יבל means “to lead down,” and the noun יובל “a stream, a flowing forth of waters”: which suit Genesis and origins, as may be seen more fully in R. Moses Nachmanides, where he treats of the jubilee. See Joseph Scaliger, Animadversions on Eusebius, p. 16. The same [Cotelier].

Horum, inquam, comparatio cum istis libri Henoch: Ἦσαν δὲ οὗτοι (ἐγρήγοροι) διακόσιοι, οἱ καταβάντες ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Ἰάρεδ εἰς τὴν κορυφὴν Ἑρμονιὲμ ὄρους· καὶ ἐκάλεσαν τὸ ὄρος Ἑρμὼν, καθότι ὤμοσαν καὶ ἀνεθεμάτισαν ἀλλήλους ἐν αὐτῷ. Georgii Syncelli, p. 12, A. Vides nescio quem illum, esse supposititium Henochum. Id.

Ἐνώχ [“Enoch”]. The diligence of learned men has brought it about that we should have nothing to observe on this place. For what we are about to subjoin does not deserve the name of observations. They are two: 1. The citation of the same passage by Clement of Alexandria and his disciple Origen: “Agreeing with Enoch,” says the former, p. 801, col. 2, in the Hypotyposes, “who said: And I saw all matters.” And the latter, On First Principles IV, last chapter, in Rufinus’s version: “Enoch saying, I have beheld all matters.” II. A comparison of the words of St. Hilary on Psalm 132:3: “Hermon is a mountain in Phoenicia, whose interpretation is anathema: for what is called anathema among us is called Hermon in Hebrew. Now it is reported — on which there even exists a book of I know not whom — that the angels lusting after the daughters of men, when they came down from heaven, gathered chiefly on this lofty mountain.” A comparison, I say, of these with those words of the book of Enoch: “Now these (the Watchers) were two hundred, who came down in the days of Jared upon the summit of Mount Hermoniem; and they called the mountain Hermon, because they swore and bound one another with anathema upon it.” George Syncellus, p. 12, A. You see that that “I know not whom” is the spurious Enoch. The same.

Dei genitricis semperque Virginis Mariae, et de infantia Salvatoris. Ego Jacobus, filius Joseph, etc.; finitoque opere: Explicit liber de infantia Salvatoris. Codice vero 1697 exstat liber tanquam Matthaei evangelistae de infantia Salvatoris, narrationis cum praecedentibus partim similis, partim dissimilis; ineptus quidem instar illorum, in eo tamen consideratione dignus, quod etiam continet, non tamen absque interpolatione, responsionem Christi pueri litteras discentis ad magistrum, relatam ex falsa Scriptura ab Irenaeo, lib. I, cap. 17. Sed et in eodem apocrypho refertur quoque fabella de passeribus; quam lectam fuisse a Mohamede discimus per Nicetam Choniatem, atque adeo per impostorem ipsum, Alcorani Sur. 3 et 5. Caeterum nuper hic Parisiis doctissimus Dominicanus Vanslebius publico proposuit edendam cum aliis operibus Aethiopicis liturgiam D. N. Jesu Christo ascriptam. COT.

For not one trifler only has allowed himself to invent things about the Saviour's infancy; but in codex 2276 of the same Library one reads: Here begins the History of Joachim and Anna, and of the nativity of the Blessed Mother of God and ever-Virgin Mary, and of the infancy of the Saviour. I James, son of Joseph, etc.; and at the end of the work: Here ends the book of the infancy of the Saviour. In codex 1697, moreover, there is extant a book, as though of Matthew the evangelist, on the infancy of the Saviour, of a narrative partly like and partly unlike the foregoing; foolish indeed after their fashion, yet worthy of consideration in this, that it also contains, though not without interpolation, the reply of the boy Christ, when learning His letters, to the master, reported from a false Scripture by Irenaeus, book I, ch. 17. But in the same apocryphon there is also related the little tale of the sparrows; which we learn was read by Mohammed, through Nicetas Choniates, and indeed through the impostor himself, Koran, Sur. 3 and 5. For the rest, lately here at Paris the most learned Dominican Vansleb announced to the public that he would edit, with other Ethiopic works, a liturgy ascribed to our Lord Jesus Christ. COT.

(88) Ἐν τοῖς παλαιοῖς. Talis liber, prophetia Chami, quam a Pherecyde expressam refert Clemens Alexandrinus centone 6, p. 642. Quod autem, ait Tertullianus, De anima, cap. 2, si philosophi etiam illa incursaverunt, quae penes nos apocryphorum confessione damnantur, etc. Talis quoque τῶν παρ' Ἑβραίοις φερομένων ἀποκρύφων ἡ ἐπιγραφομένη Ἰωσὴφ προσευχὴ, apud Origenem tom. V in Joannis Evangelium; qui alibi saepe secretorum, apud Judaeos, voluminum mentionem facit. Additur a S. Epiphanio in libro De mensuris et ponderibus; quam vere, non excutio nunc; per LXX in Graecum sermonem translatos fuisse libros apocryphos 72, seu potius 22, probabilius enim corrigetur numerus capitis decimi per numerum capitis quinti, οβʹ per κβʹ, quam vice versa. Sed cogitent viri docti de loco deplorato in dicto cap. 5: Αὗται αἱ βίβλοι τὸν τρόπον ὃν εἴπομεν ἡρμηνεύθησαν, κατὰ περίοδον ἑκάστῃ ζυγῇ ἑρμηνευτῶν ἐπιδιδόμεναι, καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς πρώτης ζυγῆς τῇ δευτέρᾳ, καὶ πάλιν ἀπὸ τῆς δευτέρας τῇ τρίτῃ, καὶ οὕτως παρῆλθον κελεύουσαι ἑκάστη τριακονταεξάκις ἑρμηνευθεῖσαι, ὡς ᾄδεται λόγος, καὶ εἴκοσι δύο τῶν ἀποκρύφων. Nihil succurrit, praeter κέλλῃ ἐνοῦσαι ἑκάστῃ. Hi libri sacrae Scripturae eo quem diximus modo translati sunt, in orbem unicuique pari interpretum tributi, a primo pari ad secundum, rursusque a secundo ad tertium: atque ita per singulas cellas fuerunt ac transierunt, trigesies sexies conversi, ut fama percrebuit. Una cum viginti duobus apocryphis. Quid si quis harioletur κελλευώσει ἑκάστῃ, hoc est per unamquamque, ut aeque barbare loquar, cellationem? Praeter haec apocrypha confixere alia haeretici, et maximis antiquissimisque nominibus donavere, Evae, Sethi ac septem ejus liberorum, Abrahami, Moysis, aliorum, tradente Epiphanio. COT.

(88) Ἐν τοῖς παλαιοῖς [Among the ancients]. Such a book is the prophecy of Ham, which Clement of Alexandria, in the sixth Miscellany, p. 642, reports to have been drawn upon by Pherecydes. But if, says Tertullian, On the Soul, ch. 2, the philosophers have also made incursions into those things which among us are condemned under the designation of apocrypha, etc. Such also, of the apocrypha current among the Hebrews, is the one entitled the Prayer of Joseph, in Origen, tome V on the Gospel of John; who elsewhere often makes mention of secret volumes among the Jews. It is added by St Epiphanius in the book On Measures and Weights (how truly, I do not now examine) that 72 apocryphal books, or rather 22, were translated into the Greek tongue by the Seventy; for the number of the tenth chapter will more probably be corrected by the number of the fifth chapter, οβʹ by κβʹ, than the reverse. But let learned men consider the desperate passage in the said ch. 5: These books were translated in the manner we have said, being given out in rotation to each pair of translators, and from the first pair to the second, and again from the second to the third, and thus they passed along κελεύουσαι each, translated thirty-six times, as the report is sung, and twenty-two of the apocrypha. Nothing occurs to me, save κέλλῃ ἐνοῦσαι ἑκάστῃ [being in each cell]. These books of sacred Scripture were translated in the manner we have said, assigned in rotation to each pair of translators, from the first pair to the second, and again from the second to the third: and so they were in, and passed through, the several cells, rendered thirty-six times, as report has spread abroad. Together with twenty-two apocrypha. What if someone should divine κελλευώσει ἑκάστῃ, that is, through each (to speak equally barbarously) "cellation"? Besides these apocrypha the heretics forged others, and bestowed on them the greatest and most ancient names, of Eve, of Seth and his seven children, of Abraham, of Moses, of others, as Epiphanius relates.

Denique Ἀποκάλυψιν Mosis citat Georgius Cedrenus, in Compendio historiarum: atque inde sumptum vult versiculum 15, cap. VI Epistolae ad Galatas Georgius Syncellus, Chronographiae p. 27. ad quod Pauli testimonium in cod. Reg. 607 et 1253 adnotatur esse ex Moysis apocrypho. Observabis praecipue verba Cedreni, edit. Basil., p. 3, l. XXXII: Ὡς ἐν λεπτῇ φέρεται Γενέσει, ἣν καὶ Μωσέως εἶναί φασί τινες Ἀποκάλυψιν, et p. 6, l. XXXIX: Ὡς ἡ λεπτὴ Μωσέως Γένεσίς φησιν. Nam parva Genesis, λεπτὴ Γένεσις, Λεπτογένεσις, Μικρογένεσις memoratur a Hieronymo, epist. 127, mans. 18 et 24, qui id Geneseos apocryphum Hebraice legerat. Memoratur a Gelasio his verbis: Liber de filiabus Adae, hoc est Leptogenesis, apocryphus. Item a Georgio Syncello, Zonara, Glyca. Sed insigniter ab Epiphanio haeresi 39, n. 6, nec sine difficultate: Ὡς δὲ ἐν Ἰωβηλαίοις εὑρίσκεται, τῇ καὶ Λεπτογενέσει καλουμένῃ, etc. Obscurum quippe, cur τῇ λεπτῇ Γενέσει nomen τὰ Ἰωβηλαῖα inditum fuerit; tacuitque qui docere poterat doctissimus Petavius. Conjecerim, quia verbum יבל significat deducere, et nomen יובל rivum, aquarum processum: quae Genesi atque originibus conveniunt, ut fusius videre est in R. Mose Nachmanide, ubi de jubilaeo disserit. Vide Jos. Scaligerum Anim. in Euseb., p. 16. ID.

(89) Μωσέως [Of Moses]. Four secret and hidden writings enjoyed that illustrious name: the Mystical Discourses, the Testament, the Assumption or Ascension, and the Revelation. You have the book of the Mystical Discourses of Moses in the Acts of the Council of Nicaea, Morel's edition in octavo, pp. 110, 111, Commelin's in folio, p. 28, line 6; the Testament of Moses in the Athanasian Synopsis, in the Stichometry of Nicephorus of Constantinople, and in the list set above at the beginning of the notes on this work of the Constitutions; likewise the Assumption in Origen, On First Principles III, 2; in Athanasius and Nicephorus at the places just named; the Acts of the Council of Nicaea, Morel's edition, pp. 110, 131, 134; Commelin's, pp. 28 and 33; and Evodius seems to mean it in his letter to St Augustine, no. 258 among the Augustinian letters. Lastly, George Cedrenus cites the Apocalypse of Moses in his Compendium of Histories; and George Syncellus, Chronography p. 27, will have it that Galatians 6:15 was taken from it; on which testimony of Paul it is noted in the Royal codices 607 and 1253 that it is from an apocryphon of Moses. You will observe especially the words of Cedrenus, Basel edition, p. 3, line 32: As is related in the Little Genesis, which some say is also the Apocalypse of Moses; and p. 6, line 39: As the Little Genesis of Moses says. For the Little Genesis, λεπτὴ Γένεσις, Leptogenesis, Microgenesis, is mentioned by Jerome, letter 127, stations 18 and 24, who had read that apocryphon of Genesis in Hebrew. It is mentioned by Gelasius in these words: The book of the daughters of Adam, that is, Leptogenesis, apocryphal. Likewise by George Syncellus, Zonaras, Glycas. But notably by Epiphanius, heresy 39, n. 6, and not without difficulty: As is found in the Jubilees, which is also called the Leptogenesis, etc. For it is obscure why the name Jubilees was given to the Little Genesis; and the most learned Petavius, who could have taught us, was silent. I should conjecture, because the verb יבל signifies to lead down, and the noun יובל a stream, a going forth of waters: which things suit Genesis and origins, as may be seen more fully in R. Moses Nachmanides, where he treats of the jubilee. See Jos. Scaliger, Animadversions on Eusebius, p. 16. ID.

Citatio ejusdem loci per Clementem Alexandrinum, ejusque discipulum Origenem: Ὁμοδοξῶν τῷ Ἐνὼχ, ait primus, p. 801, col. 2, in Hypotyposibus, τῷ εἰρηκότι· Καὶ εἶδον τὰς ὕλας πάσας.

(90) Ἐνώχ [Enoch]. The diligence of learned men has brought it about that we should have nothing to observe on this place. For what we are about to subjoin does not deserve the name of observations. They are two: 1. The citation of the same passage by Clement of Alexandria and his disciple Origen: Being of one opinion with Enoch, says the former, p. 801, col. 2, in the Hypotyposes, who said: And I saw all matters. And the latter, On First Principles IV, last chapter, in Rufinus's version: Enoch saying, I beheld all matters. II. A comparison of the words of St Hilary on Psalm 132:3: Hermon is a mountain in Phoenicia, the interpretation of which is anathema: for what is called anathema among us is in Hebrew called Hermon. Now this is reported, about which there is even extant a book of I know not whom, that the angels lusting after the daughters of men, when they came down from heaven, assembled chiefly on this lofty mountain. A comparison, I say, of these with those words of the book of Enoch: Now these (the Watchers) were two hundred, who came down in the days of Jared upon the summit of Mount Hermoniem; and they called the mountain Hermon, because they swore and bound one another by anathema upon it. George Syncellus, p. 12, A. You see that that "I know not whom" is the supposititious Enoch. ID.

For that it is the same work may be gathered from Cedrenus, not long after the beginning; whence you will get a specimen of the trifling volume. But also of a book of Adam, this one or another of like grain, [they] still boast themselves …

Ἡσαΐου. Generatim, Origenes in Matth. XIII, 57; XXIII, 37, cujus et videnda epistola ad Julium Africanum. Specialiter, nomine τοῦ ἀναβατικοῦ Ἡσαΐου, Epiphanius haer. 40, 2; 67, 3, Hieronymo in Isaiae LXIV, 4: Ascensio Isaiae. Item nomine Ἡσαΐου ὁράσεως, in paulo ante laudato catalogo exemplaris Regii 1789. Quia vero (ut id obiter moneam) teste Hieronymo legebatur in Ascensione Isaiae illud quod ab Apostolo citatur I Corinth. II, 9: Quod oculus non vidit, etc., accusat autem Hegesippum Stephanus Gobarus apud Photium, quod hoc esse falsum putaverit; suspicari quis posset ita factum ab Hegesippo in contemptum voluminis apocryphi. Verum aliter ego conjicio, ac Hegesippum culpa carere arbitror: ut qui non neget verum aliquando exstitisse, ea quae Deus suis praeparavit, invisa esse, inaudita et incognita; sed qui velit, amplius verum non esse post incarnationem Christi, et missionem S. Spiritus. Subjungente Paulo: Nobis autem revelavit Deus per Spiritum suum, atque Hegesippo confirmante sententiam suam per testimonium Matth. XIII, 16. En verba Stephani Tritheitae cum aliquantulo exactiori versione: Ὅτι τὰ ἡτοιμασμένα τοῖς δικαίοις ἀγαθὰ οὔτε ὀφθαλμὸς εἶδεν, οὔτε οὖς ἤκουσεν, οὔτε ἐπὶ καρδίαν ἀνθρώπου ἀνέβη. Ἡγήσιππος μέντοι, ἀρχαῖός τε ἀνὴρ καὶ ἀποστολικὸς, ἐν τῷ πέμπτῳ τῶν ὑπομνημάτων, οὐκ οἶδα ὅ τι καὶ παθὼν, μάτην μὲν εἰρῆσθαι ταῦτα λέγει, καὶ καταψεύδεσθαι τοὺς ταῦτα φαμένους τῶν τε θείων Γραφῶν, καὶ τοῦ Κυρίου λέγοντος· Μακάριοι οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ὑμῶν οἱ βλέποντες, καὶ τὰ ὦτα ὑμῶν τὰ ἀκούοντα, καὶ τὰ ἑξῆς. Quod bona quae praeparata sunt justis nec oculus vidit, nec auris audivit, nec in cor hominis ascenderunt. Quanquam Hegesippus vir antiquus et apostolicus, libro quinto Commentariorum, haud scio quid in animo habens aut quanam ratione permotus, frustra haec dici ait, et eos qui haec loquuntur mentiri adversus sacram Scripturam, et contra Christum dicentem: Beati oculi vestri qui vident, et aures vestrae quae audiunt, etc. Id.

Ἡσαΐου [“of Isaiah”]. In general, Origen on Matthew 13:57; 23:37, whose letter to Julius Africanus should also be seen. Specifically, under the name “the Ascension of Isaiah” (τὸ ἀναβατικὸν Ἡσαΐου), Epiphanius, Heresies 40, 2; 67, 3; in Jerome on Isaiah 64:4: Ascensio Isaiae. Likewise under the name “Vision of Isaiah” in the catalogue of the Royal copy 1789 cited a little above. But because (to note this in passing), on Jerome’s testimony, there was read in the Ascension of Isaiah what is cited by the Apostle, 1 Corinthians 2:9, “What eye has not seen,” etc., and Stephen Gobarus in Photius accuses Hegesippus of having thought this false, one might suspect that Hegesippus did so in contempt of the apocryphal volume. But I conjecture otherwise, and judge Hegesippus free of blame: as one who does not deny that it was once true that the things God has prepared for His own were unseen, unheard and unknown, but who means that it is no longer true after the incarnation of Christ and the sending of the Holy Spirit. Paul subjoins: “But to us God has revealed them through His Spirit”; and Hegesippus confirms his opinion by the testimony of Matthew 13:16. Here are the words of Stephen the Tritheite with a somewhat more exact version: “That the good things prepared for the just neither eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor have they entered the heart of man. Hegesippus, however, an ancient and apostolic man, in the fifth book of his Memoirs, I know not under what impulse, says that these things are said in vain, and that those who say them speak falsely against both the divine Scriptures and the Lord, who says: Blessed are your eyes that see, and your ears that hear, and what follows.” “That the good things which are prepared for the just neither eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor have they ascended into the heart of man. Although Hegesippus, an ancient and apostolic man, in the fifth book of his Commentaries, having I know not what in mind or moved by what reason, says that these things are said in vain, and that those who say them lie against sacred Scripture and against Christ who says: Blessed are your eyes that see, and your ears that hear, etc.” The same [Cotelier].

Ἡλία [“of Elijah”]. George Syncellus mentions it, Chronicle p. 27, after Origen on Matthew 27:9 and Athanasius in the Synopsis of Sacred Scripture. In the Canon of Scriptures of the patriarch Nicephorus, “Elias the prophet,” for which, in the translation of Anastasius the Librarian, there was read “the Prophecy of Elias” (Ἡλίου προφητεία). But Jerome, epistle 101 to Pammachius, On the Best Kind of Translating, ch. 4, and book XVII of the Commentaries on Isaiah, not long before the end, calls it the Apocalypse of Elijah; by which name it is also styled in the manuscript canon, or index, often cited. Moreover, that the testimony which stands in 1 Corinthians 2:9 was placed in that apocryphon is taught by Origen, Jerome, Syncellus and the Royal codices 607, 1523; and the same about the other testimony, Ephesians 5:14, is gathered from the words of Epiphanius, Heresy 42, which is that of the Marcionites, p. 372 — which however by George Syncellus and in the said manuscripts is attributed to pseudo-Jeremiah; but it could have belonged to both apocrypha, as Jerome says of the former text of the apostle. But whether from this book, or whence, the Hebrews drew the fable reported by Origen on John 1:21, that Phinehas is also Elijah, who could divine? The same.

Βάρβαρά τινα ὀνόματα [“certain barbarous names”]. These were the ravings of the first heretics — Simonians, Nicolaitans, Basilidians, Gnostics, Phibionites, Ophites, etc. — who plundered both the Hebrew words of sacred Scripture and names inserted in magical books: as we learn from Origen, tome VI Against Celsus, p. 306 of the Augsburg edition; which passage, however, Fuller, Miscellanea sacra, book IV, ch. 13, and after him Cappel in the oration On the Tetragrammaton, from a lying manuscript attribute to the same Father’s work On First Principles. And hence light arises for the words of Gennadius, On Ecclesiastical Dogmas, ch. 52: “They introduce two principles unknown to each other, as Cerdo and Marcion; or contrary, as Manichaeus; or three and barbarous, as the Sethian and Theodotus; or many, as Valentinus.” In like manner the Essenes have names of angels, in Josephus, Jewish War, book II, ch. 12; and you will find many in the apocryphal Enoch, in the prayer of Aldebert (Acts of the Roman council III, in the year 745), in the books of magicians, Hebrews, Mohammedans.

II, 9: Quod oculus non vidit, etc., accusat autem Hegesippum Stephanus Gobarus apud Photium, quod hoc esse falsum putaverit; suspicari quis posset ita factum ab Hegesippo in contemptum voluminis apocryphi. Verum aliter ego conjicio, ac Hegesippum culpa carere arbitror: ut qui non neget verum aliquando exstitisse, ea quae Deus suis praeparavit, invisa esse, inaudita et incognita; sed qui velit, amplius verum non esse post incarnationem Christi, et missionem S. Spiritus. Subjungente Paulo: Nobis autem revelavit Deus per Spiritum suum, atque Hegesippo confirmante sententiam suam per testimonium Matth. XIII, 16. En verba Stephani Tritheitae cum aliquantulo exactiori versione: Ὅτι τὰ ἡτοιμασμένα τοῖς δικαίοις ἀγαθὰ οὔτε ὀφθαλμὸς εἶδεν, οὔτε οὖς ἤκουσεν, οὔτε ἐπὶ καρδίαν ἀνθρώπου ἀνέβη. Ἡγήσιππος μέντοι, ἀρχαῖός τε ἀνὴρ καὶ ἀποστολικὸς, ἐν τῷ πέμπτῳ τῶν ὑπομνημάτων, οὐκ οἶδα ὅ τι καὶ παθὼν, μάτην μὲν εἰρῆσθαι ταῦτα λέγει, καὶ καταψεύδεσθαι τοὺς ταῦτα φαμένους τῶν τε θείων Γραφῶν, καὶ τοῦ Κυρίου λέγοντος· Μακάριοι οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ὑμῶν οἱ βλέποντες, καὶ τὰ ὦτα ὑμῶν τὰ ἀκούοντα, καὶ τὰ ἑξῆς. Quod bona quae praeparata sunt justis nec oculus vidit, nec auris audivit, nec in cor hominis ascenderunt. Quanquam Hegesippus vir antiquus et apostolicus, libro quinto Commentariorum, haud scio quid in animo habens aut quanam ratione permotus, frustra haec dici ait, et eos qui haec loquuntur mentiri adversus sacram Scripturam, et contra Christum dicentem: Beati oculi vestri qui vident, et aures vestrae quae audiunt, etc. Id.

(92) Ἡσαΐου ["of Isaias"]. In general terms, Origen on Matthew 13:57; 23:37, whose letter to Julius Africanus should also be seen. Specifically, under the name τοῦ ἀναβατικοῦ Ἡσαΐου ["the Ascension-book of Isaias"], Epiphanius, Heresies 40, 2; 67, 3; in Jerome on Isaias 64:4: the Ascension of Isaias. Likewise under the name Ἡσαΐου ὁράσεως ["of the Vision of Isaias"], in the catalogue, cited a little above, of the Royal copy 1789. Now since (to remark this in passing) on Jerome's testimony there was read in the Ascension of Isaias that which is cited by the Apostle, 1 Corinthians 2:9: What eye has not seen, etc., while Stephanus Gobarus in Photius accuses Hegesippus of having thought this to be false, one might suspect that Hegesippus did so out of contempt for the apocryphal volume. But I conjecture otherwise, and I judge Hegesippus to be free of blame: as one who does not deny that it was once true that the things which God has prepared for His own were unseen, unheard and unknown, but who means that it is no longer true after the incarnation of Christ and the sending of the Holy Spirit. For Paul subjoins: But to us God has revealed them by His Spirit; and Hegesippus confirms his opinion by the testimony of Matthew 13:16. Here are the words of Stephanus the Tritheist, with a somewhat more exact version: That the good things prepared for the just neither eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor have they entered the heart of man. Hegesippus, however, an ancient and apostolic man, in the fifth book of his Memoirs, I know not under what impulse, says that these things are said in vain, and that those who say them speak falsely against both the divine Scriptures and the Lord, who says: Blessed are your eyes that see, and your ears that hear, and what follows. That the good things which are prepared for the just neither has eye seen, nor ear heard, nor have they ascended into the heart of man. Yet Hegesippus, an ancient and apostolic man, in the fifth book of his Commentaries, having I know not what in mind or moved by what reason, says that these things are said in vain, and that those who speak them lie against sacred Scripture, and against Christ who says: Blessed are your eyes which see, and your ears which hear, etc. The same [Cotelier].

And the attendants, and the singers, and the readers, and the doorkeepers, we command that they too be men of one marriage; but if they have come into the clergy before marriage, we permit them to marry, if indeed they have a mind for this, lest, having sinned, they meet with punishment. But we command that none of those in the clergy take either a courtesan, or a household slave, or a widow, and one cast out, as the Law also says. And let the deaconess be a pure virgin; or if not, at least a widow of one marriage, faithful and honourable.

<!-- Two layers at this page foot: (i) a full-width line of numbered reference notes (superscript calls) above the heading VARIORUM NOTAE; the image begins at this line, so any reference notes on a line above it were NOT seen. The superscript numerals are small and blurred in the scan; they are numbered here 50, 51, 51*, 52, 53 by the sequence (page 477 opens with 54-55). (ii) The Variorum notes in two note-columns, seen whole. Calls stand in the author's text above the image and were not seen. By the layout seen on pages 477 and 478 (Greek in the outer column, Latin in the inner; reference calls in the Latin, parenthesised Variorum calls in the Greek only), on this verso page the Greek is col 957 and the Latin col 958; the column assignments below are inferred from that, not seen.

Ἐπιτρέπομεν αὐτοῖς γαμεῖν. Ministri sive subdiaconi ab ineundo matrimonio arcentur, per antiquam traditionem, in Sozomeno, Hist. eccl. lib. I, cap. 23; Canones, Apostolicum 26, hic 19; Trullanum 6; plurima Ecclesiae Latinae decreta; leges Justiniani et Leonis Sapientis, Epiphanium in Expositione fidei cap. 21; auctores qui de canonibus aut ordinibus sacris scripsere, et alios. Verum mos contrarius hoc loco demonstratus, innuitur a S. Basilio canone 69, quanquam Zonaras, Balsamon, et Blastarius eum canonem aliter explicent, Harmenopolus vero, Aristinus et Simeon cauda truncent. Eo etiam duci potest Socrates lib. I, cap. 11. Cot.

Ἐπιτρέπομεν αὐτοῖς γαμεῖν [“we permit them to marry”]. Ministers, or subdeacons, are barred from entering marriage by ancient tradition, in Sozomen, Ecclesiastical History, book I, ch. 23; by the Canons — Apostolic 26 (here 19), Trullan 6; by very many decrees of the Latin Church; by the laws of Justinian and Leo the Wise; Epiphanius in the Exposition of the Faith, ch. 21; the authors who have written on the canons or sacred orders, and others. But the contrary custom shown in this place is hinted at by St. Basil, canon 69, although Zonaras, Balsamon and Blastares explain that canon otherwise, while Harmenopulus, Aristenus and Simeon cut off its tail. Socrates, book I, ch. 11, can also be drawn that way. Cotelerius.

Διακόνισσα δέ, etc. Justinianus Novella 6: Ἢ παρθένους καθεστώσας, ἢ ἑνὸς ἀνδρὸς γαμετὰς γενομένας. Et, εἴτε ἐκ χηρείας, εἴτε ἐκ παρθενίας. Atqui praeter has diaconissas, vel virgines, vel unius matrimonii viduas; tertium genus habes apud Epiphanium in Expositione fidei num. 21, scilicet in nuptiis unicis continentes: Καὶ αὗται δὲ, inquit, μονόγαμοι ἐγκρατευσάμεναι, ἢ χηρεύσασαι ἀπὸ μονογαμίας, ἢ ἀειπάρθενοι οὖσαι. Quarum tertiarum mentio canone Trullano 48, et alibi, sicut aliarum multis in locis. Id.

Διακόνισσα δέ [“And a deaconess”], etc. Justinian, Novel 6: “Either being virgins, or having been wives of one husband.” And: “whether from widowhood or from virginity.” Yet besides these deaconesses, either virgins or widows of one marriage, you have a third kind in Epiphanius, Exposition of the Faith, n. 21, namely those living continently in a single marriage: “And these too,” he says, “are once-married women practising continence, or widowed after a single marriage, or perpetual virgins.” Of this third kind there is mention in Trullan canon 48 and elsewhere, as of the others in many places. The same [Cotelerius].

βαπτίσατε. Τοὺς ἀθέους αἱρεσιώτας ἀμετανοήτως ἔχοντας διαστείλαντες, ἀφορίσατε ἀπὸ τῶν πιστῶν, καὶ τῆς Ἐκκλησίας τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐκκηρύκτους ποιήσατε, καὶ παραγγείλατε τοῖς πιστοῖς παντοίως αὐτῶν ἀπέχεσθαι, καὶ μήτε λόγοις, μήτε προσευχαῖς κοινωνεῖν αὐτοῖς· οὗτοι γάρ εἰσιν ἀντίδικοι καὶ ἐπίβουλοι τῆς Ἐκκλησίας, οἱ διαφθείροντες τὸ ποιμνίον, καὶ μολύνοντες τὴν κληρονομίαν, οἱ δοξόσοφοι, καὶ παμπόνηροι· περὶ ὧν ἔλεγε Σολομὼν ὁ σοφὸς, ὅτι δυσσεβοῦντες ὑποκρίνονται εὐσεβεῖν. « Ἔστι γὰρ, φησὶν, ὁδὸς ἣ δοκεῖ τισιν ὀρθὴ εἶναι, τὰ δὲ τελευταῖα αὐτῆς βλέπει εἰς πυθμένα ᾅδου. » Οὗτοί εἰσι περὶ ὧν ὁ Κύριος πικρῶς καὶ ἀποτόμως ἀπεφήνατο, λέγων ὅτι εἰσὶ ψευδόχριστοι καὶ ψευδοδιδάσκαλοι· οἱ βλασφημήσαντες τὸ Πνεῦμα τῆς χάριτος, καὶ ἀποπτύσαντες τὴν παρ' αὐτοῦ δωρεὰν μετὰ τὴν χάριν· οἷς οὐκ ἀφεθήσεται οὔτε ἐν τῷ αἰῶνι τούτῳ, οὔτε ἐν τῷ μέλλοντι· οἱ καὶ Ἰουδαίων δυσσεβέστεροι, καὶ Ἑλλήνων ἀθεώτεροι· οἱ Θεὸν τὸν ἐπὶ πάντων βλασφημοῦντες, καὶ τὸν Υἱὸν αὐτοῦ καταπατοῦντες, καὶ τὴν διδασκαλίαν τοῦ Πνεύματος διαπτύοντες· οἱ τοὺς θείους λόγους ἀρνούμενοι, ἢ μεθ' ὑποκρίσεως προσποιούμενοι δέχεσθαι, ἐφ' ὕβρει Θεοῦ καὶ ἀπάτῃ τῶν αὐτοῖς προσιόντων· οἱ τὰς ἱερὰς Γραφὰς ἐνυβρίζοντες, καὶ τὴν δικαιοσύνην ὅ τι ποτέ ἐστιν ἀγνοοῦντες· οἱ τὴν Ἐκκλησίαν Θεοῦ διαφθείροντες, ὡς ἀλώπεκες μικροὶ ἀμπελῶνα· οὓς φεύγειν ὑμᾶς παρακαλοῦμεν, ἵνα μὴ λάβητε βρόχους ταῖς ἑαυτῶν ψυχαῖς. « Ὁ συμπορευόμενος μὲν σοφοῖς, σοφὸς ἔσται, ὁ δὲ συμπορευόμενος ἄφροσι, γνωσθήσεται. » Οὔτε γὰρ κλέπτῃ δεῖ συντρέχειν, οὐδὲ μετὰ μοιχοῦ τὴν μερίδα τίθεσθαι· ἐπείπερ καὶ ὁ ὅσιός φησι Δαβίδ· « Κύριε, τοὺς μισοῦντάς σε ἐμίσησα, καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ἐξετηκόμην, τέλειον μῖσος ἐμίσουν αὐτοὺς, εἰς ἐχθροὺς ἐγένοντό μοι. » Καὶ τῷ Ἰωσαφὰτ ὁ Θεὸς ὀνειδίζει διὰ τὴν πρὸς Ἀχαὰβ φιλίαν καὶ συμμαχίαν, καὶ τὴν πρὸς Ὀχοζίαν, λέγων διὰ Ἰωνᾶ τοῦ προφήτου· « Εἰ ἁμαρτωλῷ σὺ φιλιάζεις,
baptize them. As for the godless heretics who remain unrepentant, set them apart and separate them from the faithful, and proclaim them banished from the Church of God, and charge the faithful to keep away from them in every way, and to have fellowship with them neither in words nor in prayers; for these are adversaries of the Church and plotters against her, who corrupt the flock and defile the inheritance, wise in their own conceit and utterly wicked; of whom Solomon the wise said that while acting impiously they feign piety. "For there is," he says, "a way which seems to some to be right, but the last parts of it look into the depth of Hades." (Prov. 14:12) These are they concerning whom the Lord pronounced bitterly and sharply, saying that they are false christs and false teachers; who have blasphemed the Spirit of grace, and spat out the gift that comes from Him after the grace; to whom it shall not be forgiven either in this age or in that which is to come; who are both more impious than Jews and more godless than Greeks; who blaspheme the God Who is over all, and trample upon His Son, and spit upon the teaching of the Spirit; who deny the divine words, or with hypocrisy pretend to receive them, to the insult of God and the deceiving of those who come to them; who insult the sacred Scriptures, and do not know what righteousness is at all; who ruin the Church of God, as little foxes a vineyard; whom we exhort you to flee, lest you receive snares for your own souls. "He who walks with the wise shall be wise, but he who walks with the foolish shall be known." (Prov. 13:20) For one must neither run together with a thief, nor set one's portion with an adulterer; since the holy David also says: "Lord, I have hated those who hate Thee, and over Thy enemies I wasted away; with a perfect hatred I hated them; they became enemies to me." (Ps. 138:21–22) And God reproaches Jehoshaphat for his friendship and alliance with Ahab, and that with Ahaziah, saying through Jonah the prophet: "Are you friendly with a sinner,

(4) ‹Ἑλλήνων ἀθεώτεροι› · call in col 960

Ἑλλήνων ἀθεώτεροι. Hanc ob rationem ex B. Irenaeo lib. II, cap. 9, quia ethnici primum divinitatis locum attribuunt Creatori; haeretici vero (majorem partem primarum haereseon intellige) alium superiorem Deum comminiscuntur. Haereticos gentibus esse pejores dubitat nemo. Primum, quia gentiles per ignorantiam Christum blasphemant, haeretici autem scientes Christi laniant veritatem. Deinde, quia in illis vel spes [f. species] fidei est, in istis autem incessabilis pugna et discordia. Auctor Operis imperfecti in Matthaeum, ad cap. XII, vers. 45. Cot. Verba tamen haec desunt in altero cod. Vindob. quae sunt hyperbolica. Cl.

Ἑλλήνων ἀθεώτεροι [“more godless than the Greeks”]. For this reason, from blessed Irenaeus, book II, ch. 9: because the pagans assign the first place of divinity to the Creator, whereas the heretics (understand the greater part of the first heresies) invent another, higher God. “No one doubts that heretics are worse than the gentiles. First, because the gentiles blaspheme Christ through ignorance, but the heretics knowingly tear the truth of Christ. Next, because in the former there is at least the hope [perhaps: the appearance] of faith, but in the latter unceasing strife and discord.” The author of the Opus imperfectum on Matthew, at ch. 12, v. 45.

(Isa. 57:21) For these are the hidden wolves, the dumb dogs, that cannot bark (Isa. 56:10), who now indeed are few, but when time has advanced and the consummation draws near, they will be more numerous and more grievous; concerning whom the Lord said: "Will the Son of man, when He comes, find faith upon the earth? (Luke 18:8) And because lawlessness is multiplied, the love of the many will grow cold. And false christs and false prophets will come, and will give signs in heaven, so as, if possible, to deceive even the elect" (Matt. 24:12, 24); from whose deceit God will deliver us through Jesus Christ, our hope. For we also, passing through the nations and strengthening the churches, brought some back, having healed them with much admonition and healing speech, when they were all but on the point of dying by deceit; but those who were incurable we cast out from the flock, lest they impart the scabby disease to the healthy lambs also, but that these may continue pure and undefiled, sound and spotless, for the Lord God. And these things we have done city by city, everywhere, throughout the whole inhabited earth of the world, leaving to you the bishops and to the rest of the priests this catholic teaching, worthily and justly, as a memorial of strengthening for those who have believed in God; having sent it by our fellow minister Clement, our most faithful and like-minded child in the Lord, together also with Barnabas, and Timothy our most dearly longed-for son, and Mark the genuine one, with whom we also commend to you Titus, and Luke, and Jason and Lucius, and Sosipater; through whom also we exhort you in the Lord to abstain from the old way of life, from vain bonds, separations, observances, distinction of foods, daily baptisms. "For the old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." (2 Cor. 5:17)

Βαπτισμάτων [“of baptisms (washings)”]. A passage of Gregentius in the Disputation with Herban, f. 131, p. 2, has one letter too few: “Before the outer [court] of Solomon’s temple there were always lavers standing free; and a law was laid down that one who sinned in some matter and wished to repent should tell the priests, and in proportion to the fault be excluded from entering the temple; and when the term was fulfilled, being released [ἀπολυόμενος], healed in soul, so thenceforth entering the temple without fear, he performs his worship.” Who does not see that the certain reading is ἀπολουόμενος [“washing himself”]?

τέλειον, ἀνελλιπῆ, δέκα λογίων πλήρη, ἄμωμον, ἐπιστρέφοντα ψυχάς· οὗπερ καὶ ἐπιλαθομένους Ἑβραίους ὑπομιμνήσκει διὰ Μαλαχίου τοῦ προφήτου λέγων· « Μνήσθητε νόμου Μωσέως, ἀνθρώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ, ὃς ἐνετείλατο ὑμῖν προστάγματα καὶ δικαιώματα. » Ὃς τοσοῦτόν ἐστιν ἅγιος καὶ δίκαιος, ὡς καὶ τὸν Σωτῆρά ποτε θεραπεύσαντα λεπρὸν ἕνα, καὶ πάλιν ἐννέα, εἰπεῖν τῷ πρώτῳ· « Πορευθεὶς δεῖξον σεαυτὸν ἀρχιερεῖ, καὶ προσένεγκε τὸ δῶρον ὃ προσέταξε Μωσῆς εἰς μαρτύριον αὐτοῖς· » τοῖς δὲ ἐννέα πάλιν· « Πορευθέντες ἐπιδείξατε ἑαυτοὺς τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν. » Οὐ γάρ που κατέλυσε τὸν νόμον, ὡς Σίμων δοξάζει, ἀλλ' ἐπλήρωσε· λέγει γάρ· « Ἰῶτα ἓν, ἢ μία κεραία οὐ μὴ παρέλθῃ ἀπὸ τοῦ νόμου, ἕως ἂν πάντα γένηται. Οὐ γὰρ ἦλθον, φησὶ, καταλῦσαι τὸν νόμον, ἀλλὰ πληρῶσαι. » Καὶ γὰρ καὶ Μωσῆς νομοθέτης ὁμοῦ, καὶ ἀρχιερεὺς, καὶ προφήτης, καὶ βασιλεὺς, καὶ Ἡλίας ὁ ζηλωτὴς τῶν προφητῶν, συνῆσαν ἐν τῇ μεταμορφώσει τοῦ Κυρίου ἐν τῷ ὄρει, μάρτυρες αὐτοῦ τῆς ἐνανθρωπήσεως καὶ τῶν παθημάτων, ὡς φίλοι Χριστοῦ καὶ οἰκεῖοι, ἀλλ' οὐχ ὡς ἐχθροὶ ἢ ἀλλότριοι. Ἐξ ὧν δείκνυται, ὅτι καὶ ὁ νόμος καλὸς καὶ ἅγιος, καὶ οἱ προφῆται.
perfect, lacking nothing, complete in ten oracles, blameless, converting souls (Ps. 18:8); of which He also reminds the Hebrews who had forgotten it, saying through Malachi the prophet: "Remember the law of Moses, the man of God, who enjoined on you ordinances and judgements." (Mal. 4:4) Which is so holy and just that even the Saviour, when He once healed one leper, and again nine, said to the first: "Go, show yourself to the high priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them" (Matt. 8:4); and to the nine in turn: "Go, show yourselves to the priests." (Luke 17:14) For He nowhere abolished the law, as Simon supposes, but fulfilled it; for He says: "One iota, or one stroke, shall by no means pass away from the law, until all things come to pass. For I did not come," He says, "to abolish the law, but to fulfil." (Matt. 5:18, 17) For indeed Moses, at once lawgiver and high priest and prophet and king, and Elijah, the zealot among the prophets, were present together at the transfiguration of the Lord on the mountain, witnesses of His becoming man and of His sufferings, as friends of Christ and of His household, and not as enemies or strangers. From which it is shown that both the law is good and holy, and the prophets.
ΚΕΦΑΛΑΙΟΝ Κʹ. Τίς ὁ φυσικὸς νόμος, καὶ τίς ὁ ἐπείσακτος, καὶ δι' ἣν αἰτίαν ἐπεισήχθη.
CHAPTER XX. What the natural law is, and what the one brought in besides, and for what cause it was brought in.
Νόμος δέ ἐστιν ἡ Δεκάλογος, ἣν πρὸ τοῦ τὸν λαὸν μοσχοποιῆσαι τὸν παρ' Αἰγυπτίοις Ἆπιν, Θεὸς αὐτοῖς ἐνομοθέτησεν ἀκουστῇ φωνῇ· οὗτος δὲ δίκαιός ἐστι, διὸ καὶ νόμος λέγεται, διὰ τὸ φύσει δικαίως τὰς κρίσεις ποιεῖσθαι· ὃν οἱ περὶ Σίμωνα φαυλίζουσιν, οἰόμενοι μὴ κριθέντες ὑπ' αὐτοῦ, τὴν κόλασιν ἐκφεύγειν· οὗτος ὁ νόμος ἀγαθὸς, ὅσιος, ἀκατανάγκαστος· φησὶ γάρ· « Ἐὰν δὲ ποιήσῃς μοι θυσιαστήριον, ἐκ γῆς ποιήσεις μοι αὐτό. » Οὐκ εἶπε, ποίησον, ἀλλὰ, ἐὰν ποιήσῃς· οὐκ ἀνάγκην περιέθηκεν, ἀλλὰ τῇ ἐξουσίᾳ ἐπέτρεψεν, ἅτε ἐλευθέρᾳ.
Now the law is the Decalogue, which, before the people made the calf, the Apis of the Egyptians, God laid down for them as law with an audible voice; and this law is just, for which reason also it is called law, because it makes its judgements justly according to nature; which Simon's followers disparage, supposing that, not being judged by it, they will escape punishment. This law is good, holy, free of compulsion; for He says: "But if you make Me an altar, you shall make it for Me of earth." (Exod. 20:24–25) He did not say "make", but "if you make"; He did not lay a necessity upon them, but left it to their power, as being free.

Λεπρὸν ἕνα, καὶ πάλιν ἐννέα. Iterum permiscet historias: nempe unius leprosi Matth. VIII; Marc. I, Luc. V, et aliorum decem eodem morbo laborantium Luc. XVII. De prima exstat locus Epiphanii haeres. 66, sect. 57, valde obscurus, ab interpretibus in mendo cubare judicatus, eoque minus plene conversus, cum potuisset saltem ex saltu magis integre transferri. Atque eccum: Μακάριαι ἡμῶν αἱ ἐλπίδες, ὅτι ἄρχοντι τοῦ σκότους ὁ Χριστὸς ἐλθὼν προσφέρειν ἠνάγκαζε· καθαρίσας γὰρ τὸν λεπρὸν τὸν ἐν τῷ νόμῳ γραφέντα ὑπ' αὐτοῦ λαλήσαντος, τὸ ἐν τῷ νόμῳ ἐπιτελεῖσθαι δῶρον, « Ἀπελθὼν προσένεγκε τὸ δῶρόν σου, » τῷ καθαρισθέντι ὑπ' αὐτοῦ λεπρῷ λέγων, « καθὼς προσέταξε Μωϋσῆς. » Hoc est, ni fallor: O felices spes nostras! quod principi tenebrarum Christus veniens offerre coegerit: purgato scilicet leproso, qui in lege eodem loquente Domino descriptus est; ac volens ut munus quod lege praescriptum fuit exhibeatur, dicensque leproso quem purgaverat: Vade, offer munus tuum, sicut praecepit Moyses. Cot.

Λεπρὸν ἕνα, καὶ πάλιν ἐννέα [“one leper, and again nine”]. Again he mixes up the histories: namely that of the one leper, Matthew 8, Mark 1, Luke 5, and that of the ten others suffering from the same disease, Luke 17. On the former there is a passage of Epiphanius, Heresy 66, sect. 57, very obscure, judged by the translators to be corrupt, and therefore less fully rendered, though it could at least have been translated more completely, gap and all. Here it is: [Greek as printed]. That is, unless I am mistaken: “O happy hopes of ours! that Christ at His coming compelled an offering to be made to the prince of darkness [so the Greek dative; Cotelerius’s Latin keeps it]: having, that is, cleansed the leper who is described in the law, the same Lord speaking there; and willing that the gift prescribed in the law be presented, and saying to the leper whom He had cleansed: Go, offer your gift, as Moses commanded.” Cotelerius.

For God has no need of sacrifices, being by nature in want of nothing; but knowing that, just as already before this the God-loving Abel, and Noah, and Abraham, and those after them, not being asked, but moved of themselves by the natural law, offered sacrifice to God from a thankful mind, so now also He permits the Hebrews, not commanding, but conceding it if they should wish, and being well pleased with their sacrifices if they should offer from an upright mind. For this reason He says: If you desire to sacrifice, sacrifice to Me not as to one in need; for I stand in need of nothing; "for the world is Mine and the fullness of it." (Ps. 49:12) But when those of this people became unmindful, and called upon a calf as god instead of God, and ascribed to it the cause of their journey out of Egypt, saying: "These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you out of the land of Egypt" (Exod. 32:4); and having acted impiously towards the likeness of a calf that eats grass, denied God, Who through Moses had visited them in their affliction; Who had wrought the signs by hand and rod, and had struck the Egyptians with a tenfold plague; Who had parted the Red Sea into divisions of waters; Who had led them through the midst of the water, as a horse on a plain; Who had sunk their enemies and those who plotted against them; Who at Marah had sweetened the bitter spring; Who had brought down water from the sheer rock to their fill; Who with a pillar of cloud and a pillar of fire overshadowed them because of the measureless heat, and gave light and guided those who did not know where they should go; Who gave them manna from heaven, and from the sea gave them quail for flesh; Who gave them the law on the mountain; Whose voice they were counted worthy to hear; Him they denied, saying to Aaron: "Make us gods, who shall go before us" (Exod. 32:1); and they made a molten calf, and sacrificed to the idol; then God, being angered, as having been treated with ingratitude by them, bound them with bonds that cannot be loosed, with the pressing down of a burden and the hardness of a collar; and He no longer said: But if you make, but: "Make an altar, and sacrifice continually"; for you are forgetful and ungrateful. Offer whole burnt offerings, therefore, constantly, that you may be mindful of Me. For since

Ἄβελ καὶ Νῶε [“Abel and Noah”]. Nothing is more certain. And yet by Philastrius, part III, Heresy 62, it is written: “Those earlier saints, too, led no other life than this in which we live: for down to Abraham, having no circumcision and not delighting in sacrifices, they pleased God.” Cotelerius.

(26) ‹τὸν εἰς Μεῤῥὰν› · call in col 965

Εἰς Μεῤῥάν. מרה Latine Mara. Graecis est aut Μερά seu Μερᾶ, in Macario homil. 47 Gregentio fol. 185 et Epiphanio Hagiopolita, de Syria et sacris locis; aut Μεῤῥά sive Μεῤῥᾶ vulgo. Hoc nescientes plerique librorum Latinorum exscriptores, notum autem habentes myrrhae amarorem, quando memorari inveniebant merrhae amaritudinem, myrrhae nomen substituendum arbitrabantur: uti cernere est apud Cyprianum, sub finem libri De zelo et livore, Julium Firmicum Maternum, De errore profanarum religionum ante finem, Hieronymum, epist. 4 ad Rusticum, 151 ad Algasiam, et in Nahum III, 8. Disces reliqua ex notis ad Paulini carmen 30. Cot.

Εἰς Μεῤῥάν [“at Merrha”]. מרה, in Latin Mara. Among the Greeks it is either Μερά or Μερᾶ — in Macarius, Homily 47, Gregentius, fol. 185, and Epiphanius the Hagiopolite, On Syria and the Holy Places — or commonly Μεῤῥά or Μεῤῥᾶ. Not knowing this, most copyists of Latin books, but being familiar with the bitterness of myrrh, whenever they found “the bitterness of Merrha” mentioned, thought the name of myrrh should be substituted: as may be seen in Cyprian, towards the end of the book On Jealousy and Envy; Julius Firmicus Maternus, On the Error of Profane Religions, before the end; Jerome, Epistle 4 to Rusticus, 151 to Algasia, and on Nahum 3:8. You will learn the rest from the notes on Paulinus, Poem 30. Cotelerius.

Διὰ τὴν σκληροκαρδίαν αὐτῶν ἐπέδησεν αὐτοὺς, ἵνα διὰ τοῦ θύειν, καὶ ἀργεῖν, καὶ ἁγνίζεσθαι, καὶ τὰ τοιάδε παρατηρεῖσθαι, εἰς ἔννοιαν ἔλθωσι τοῦ Θεοῦ, τοῦ ταῦτα διαταξαμένου αὐτοῖς.
you misused your freedom, I henceforth lay a necessity upon you, and I keep you away from such and such foods, and I mark out for you the differences of clean and unclean animals, although every animal is good, as having been made by Me; and I enjoin on you such and such separations, purifications, constant baptisms, sprinklings, such and such acts of cleansing, various rests from work; and if you disobey in any one of these, I appoint a penalty, as is fitting, for the disobedient; so that, being pressed and choked by the collar, you may depart from the error of many gods; and, leaving aside the "These are your gods, O Israel" (Exod. 32:4), may be reminded of the "Hear, O Israel, the Lord your God is one Lord" (Deut. 6:4), and may run back to that law which was laid down by Me in nature for all men: that there is one only God in heaven and on earth; and to love Him from the whole heart, and from the whole strength, and from the whole mind; and to fear no other besides Him; neither to take the name of other gods into the mind, nor to utter it with the tongue through the mouth. Because of their hardness of heart He bound them, so that through sacrificing, and resting, and purifying themselves, and observing such things, they might come to the thought of God, Who appointed these things for them.
ΚΕΦΑΛΑΙΟΝ ΚΑʹ. Ὅτι ὑπὸ χάριν ἐσμὲν, ἀλλ' οὐχ ὑπὸ δουλείαν τοῦ ἐπεισάκτου νόμου, οἱ εἰς Χριστὸν πιστεύοντες.
CHAPTER XXI. That we who believe in Christ are under grace, and not under the slavery of the law brought in besides.
Ὑμῶν δὲ, τῶν πιστευσάντων εἰς τὸν ἕνα Θεὸν οὐκ ἀπὸ ἀνάγκης, ἀλλὰ ἀπὸ γνώμης ὑγιοῦς ὑπακουσάντων τῷ καλέσαντι, μακάριοι οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ, ὅτι βλέπουσι, καὶ τὰ ὦτα ὑμῶν, ὅτι ἀκούουσιν· ἀνείθητε γὰρ τῶν δεσμῶν, καὶ ἠλευθερώθητε δουλείας. « Οὐκέτι γὰρ, φησὶν, λέγω ὑμᾶς δούλους, ἀλλὰ φίλους, ὅτι πάντα ἃ ἤκουσα παρὰ τοῦ Πατρός μου, ἐγνώρισα ὑμῖν. » Ἐκείνοις γὰρ μὴ θελήσασιν ἰδεῖν, μήτε ἀκοῦσαι, οὐ στερήσει μορίων, ἀλλὰ κακίας ὑπερβολῇ, « ἔδωκα προστάγματα οὐ καλὰ, καὶ δικαιώματα, ἐν οἷς οὐ ζήσονται ἐν αὐτοῖς· » οὐ καλὰ δὲ, τῷ σκοπῷ αὐτῶν· ἐπειδὴ καὶ οἱ καυτῆρες καὶ τὸ ξίφος καὶ τὰ φάρμακα, ἐχθρὰ τοῖς οὐχ ὑγιαίνουσιν· ἀφύλακτα δὲ διὰ τὴν αὐτῶν παρακοήν· ὅθεν καὶ θάνατον αὐτοῖς ἐπάγει μὴ φυλασσόμενα.
But of you, who have believed in the one God not from necessity, but from a sound mind have obeyed Him Who called you, blessed are the eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear (Matt. 13:16); for you have been released from the bonds, and set free from slavery. "For no longer," He says, "do I call you slaves, but friends, because all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you." (John 15:15) For to those who would not see, nor hear, not through want of the organs, but through excess of wickedness, "I gave ordinances that were not good, and judgements in which they shall not live" (Ezek. 20:25); not good, however, in their own view; since cauteries too, and the knife, and medicines, are hateful to those who are not in health; and they went unkept because of their disobedience; whence also, not being kept, they bring death upon them.
ΚΕΦΑΛΑΙΟΝ ΚΒʹ. Ὅτι ἐπείσακτος ὁ ἐπὶ θυσιῶν νόμος, ὃν περιεῖλε Χριστὸς παραγενόμενος.
CHAPTER XXII. That the law about sacrifices was brought in besides, which Christ took away when He came.
Ὑμεῖς οὖν μακάριοι, οἱ λυθέντες τῆς κατάρας· Χριστὸς γὰρ παραγενόμενος, ὁ τοῦ Θεοῦ Υἱὸς, τὸν
You therefore are blessed, who have been loosed from the curse; for Christ, the Son of God, when He came,

νόμον κυρώσας ἐπλήρωσε· τὰ ἐπείσακτα περιεῖλεν, εἰ καὶ μὴ πάντα, ἀλλά γε τὰ βαρύτερα, τὰ μὲν βεβαιώσας, τὰ δὲ παύσας· καὶ τὸ αὐτεξούσιον τῶν ἀνθρώπων πάλιν ἀφῆκεν ἐλεύθερον, οὐ προσκαίρῳ θανάτῳ δικάζων, ἀλλ' ἐν ἑτέρᾳ καταστάσει λογοθετῶν αὐτό· διὸ λέγει· « Εἴ τις θέλῃ ὀπίσω μου ἐλθεῖν, ἐρχέσθω· » καὶ πάλιν· « Μὴ καὶ ὑμεῖς θέλετε ὑπάγειν; » Ἤδη δὲ καὶ πρὸ τῆς παρουσίας αὐτοῦ παρῃτεῖτο τὰς τοῦ λαοῦ θυσίας, πολλάκις εἰς αὐτὸν ἐξαμαρτόντος, καὶ οἰομένου διὰ θυσιῶν ἀλλ' οὐ διὰ μετανοίας αὐτὸν ἐξευμενίζεσθαι· λέγει γὰρ οὕτως· « Ἵνα τί μοι λίβανον ἐκ Σαβᾶ φέρεις, καὶ κιννάμωμον ἐκ γῆς μακρόθεν; τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα ὑμῶν οὐκ ἔστι δεκτὰ, καὶ αἱ θυσίαι ὑμῶν οὐχ ἥδυνάν μοι· » καὶ ἑξῆς· « Τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα ὑμῶν συναγάγετε μετὰ τῶν θυσιῶν ὑμῶν, καὶ φάγετε κρέα· ὅτι οὐκ ἐνετειλάμην ὑμῖν, ἡνίκα ἐξήγαγον ὑμᾶς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου, περὶ ὁλοκαυτωμάτων καὶ θυσιῶν. » Καὶ διὰ Ἡσαΐου λέγει· « Τί μοι πλῆθος τῶν θυσιῶν ὑμῶν, λέγει Κύριος; πλήρης εἰμὶ ὁλοκαυτωμάτων κριῶν· καὶ στέαρ ἀρνῶν, καὶ αἷμα ταύρων καὶ τράγων οὐ βούλομαι, οὐδ' ἂν ἔρχησθε ὀφθῆναί μοι.

Ἐγενήθητέ μοι εἰς πλησμονήν. » Καὶ δι' ἑτέρου λέγει· « Ἀπόστησον ἀπ' ἐμοῦ ἦχον ᾠδῶν σου, καὶ ψαλμὸν ὀργάνων σου οὐκ ἀκούσομαι. » Καὶ τῷ Σαοὺλ ὁ Σαμουὴλ λέγει θῦσαι νενομικότι· « Ἀγαθὴ ἀκοὴ ὑπὲρ θυσίαν· καὶ ἀκρόαμα, ὑπὲρ στέαρ κριῶν. Ἰδοὺ γὰρ οὐ θέλει Κύριος θυσίαν, ὡς τὸ εἰσακούειν αὐτοῦ. » Καὶ διὰ τοῦ Δαβὶδ λέγει· « Οὐ δέξομαι ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου σου μόσχους· οὐδὲ ἐκ τῶν ποιμνίων σου χιμάρους. Ἐὰν πεινάσω, οὐ μή σοι εἴπω· ἐμὴ γάρ ἐστιν ἡ οἰκουμένη καὶ τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτῆς. Μὴ φάγομαι κρέα ταύρων, ἢ αἷμα τράγων πίομαι; θῦσον τῷ Θεῷ θυσίαν αἰνέσεως, καὶ ἀπόδος τῷ Ὑψίστῳ τὰς εὐχάς σου. » Καὶ ἐν πάσαις δὲ ταῖς Γραφαῖς ὁμοίως αὐτῶν τὰς θυσίας ἀπαναίνεται, διὰ τὸ ἐξαμαρτεῖν αὐτοὺς εἰς αὐτόν. « Θυσίαι γὰρ ἀσεβῶν, βδέλυγμα παρὰ Κυρίῳ· καὶ γὰρ παρανόμως προσφέρουσιν αὐτάς· » καὶ πάλιν· « Αἱ θυσίαι αὐτῶν ὡς ἄρτος πένθους αὐτοῖς· πάντες οἱ ἐσθίοντες αὐτὰ⟨ς⟩ μολυνθήσονται. » Εἰ οὖν καὶ πρὸ τῆς παρουσίας αὐτοῦ, ὑπὲρ θυσίας καρδίαν καθαρὰν ἐπεζήτει, καὶ πνεῦμα συντετριμμένον, πολλῷ μᾶλλον ἐλθὼν ἔπαυσε ταύτας, φαμὲν τὰς δι' αἱμάτων· ἔπαυσε δὲ αὐτὰς, διὰ τοῦ πρότερον πληρῶσαι· καὶ γὰρ περιετμήθη, καὶ ἐῤῥαντίσθη, θυσίας τε προσήνεγκε καὶ ὁλοκαυτώσεις, καὶ τοῖς ἄλλοις ἐθισμοῖς ἐχρήσατο·
having ratified the law, fulfilled it; the things brought in besides He took away, if not all, yet at least the heavier ones, confirming some and making others cease; and He again left men's power of self-determination free, not judging it by a temporal death, but calling it to account in another state. Therefore He says: "If anyone wishes to come after Me, let him come" (Matt. 16:24); and again: "Do you also wish to go away?" (John 6:67) And already, even before His coming, He declined the sacrifices of the people, when it sinned often against Him and supposed that He was appeased by sacrifices and not by repentance; for He speaks thus: "Why do you bring Me frankincense from Sheba, and cinnamon from a land far off? Your whole burnt offerings are not acceptable, and your sacrifices have not been sweet to Me" (Jer. 6:20); and further on: "Gather your whole burnt offerings together with your sacrifices, and eat flesh; for I gave you no command, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt, concerning whole burnt offerings and sacrifices." (Jer. 7:21–22) And through Isaiah He says: "What is the multitude of your sacrifices to Me? says the Lord. I am full of whole burnt offerings of rams; and the fat of lambs, and the blood of bulls and goats, I do not desire, not even if you come to appear before Me. For who has sought these things from your hands? You shall no longer continue to tread My court. If you bring Me fine flour, it is vain; incense is an abomination to Me. Your new moons, and your Sabbaths, and the great day I do not endure; fasting, and rest from work, and your feasts My soul hates. You have become a surfeit to Me." (Isa. 1:11–14) And through another He says: "Remove from Me the sound of your songs, and the psalm of your instruments I will not hear." (Amos 5:23) And Samuel says to Saul, who thought to sacrifice: "Hearing is good above sacrifice, and hearkening above the fat of rams. For behold, the Lord does not desire sacrifice so much as that one should listen to Him." (1 Kgs. 15:22) And through David He says: "I will not accept calves from your house, nor he-goats from your flocks. If I am hungry, I will not tell you; for the world is Mine and the fullness of it. Shall I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? Sacrifice to God a sacrifice of praise, and pay your vows to the Most High." (Ps. 49:9, 12–14) And in all the Scriptures likewise He refuses their sacrifices, because they sin against Him. "For the sacrifices of the impious are an abomination with the Lord; for indeed they offer them lawlessly" (Prov. 21:27); and again: "Their sacrifices are as bread of mourning to them; all who eat them shall be defiled." (Hos. 9:4) If therefore even before His coming He sought, above sacrifice, a clean heart and a contrite spirit, much more, when He came, did He make these cease, we mean those through blood; but He made them cease by first fulfilling them; for He was both circumcised, and sprinkled, and offered sacrifices and whole burnt offerings, and made use of the other customs;

Πῶς πληρωτὴς τοῦ νόμου γέγονεν ὁ Χριστός· καὶ τίνα τούτου ἔπαυσεν, ἢ ἐνήλλαξεν, ἢ μετέθηκεν.
How Christ became the fulfiller of the law; and which things of it He brought to an end, or changed, or transferred.
Τόν τε γὰρ φυσικὸν νόμον οὐκ ἀνεῖλεν, ἀλλ' ἐβεβαίωσεν. Ὁ γὰρ εἰρηκὼς ἐν τῷ Νόμῳ· «Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου, Κύριος εἷς ἐστιν·» ὁ αὐτὸς ἐν τῷ Εὐαγγελίῳ λέγει· «Ἵνα γινώσκωσί σε τὸν μόνον ἀληθινὸν Θεόν.» Καὶ ὁ εἰρηκώς· «Ἀγαπήσεις τὸν πλησίον σου ὡς σεαυτόν·» ἐν τῷ Εὐαγγελίῳ λέγει ἀνανεούμενος· «Ἐντολὴν δίδωμι ὑμῖν, ἵνα ἀγαπᾶτε ἀλλήλους.» Ὁ φόνον τότε ἀπαγορεύσας, νῦν εἰκαίαν ὀργήν· ὁ μοιχείαν, νῦν καὶ ἐπιθυμίαν ἔκνομον· ὁ λῃστείαν, νῦν ἐμακάρισε μᾶλλον τὸν ἐξ οἰκείων πόνων ἐπιχορηγοῦντα τοῖς δεομένοις· ὁ μῖσος, νῦν καὶ πρὸς ἐχθροὺς ἀγάπην· ὁ ἄμυναν, νῦν ἀνεξικακίαν, οὐκ ἀδίκου τῆς δικαίας ἀμύνης οὔσης, ἀλλὰ κρείττονος τῆς ἀνεξικακίας.

Ὁ γονεῖς προστάξας τιμᾷν, αὐτὸς τούτοις ὑπετάγη· ὁ σαββατίζειν δι' ἀργίας νομοθετήσας διὰ τὴν τῶν νόμων μελέτην, νῦν καθημέραν ἐκέλευσεν ἡμᾶς ἀναλογιζομένους δημιουργίας καὶ προνοίας νόμον, εὐχαριστεῖν Θεῷ.

For the natural law He did not take away, but confirmed. For He Who said in the Law, "The Lord your God, the Lord is one," the same says in the Gospel, "That they may know Thee, the only true God." And He Who said, "You shall love your neighbour as yourself," says in the Gospel, renewing it, "A commandment I give to you, that you love one another." He Who then forbade murder now [forbids] rash anger; He Who [forbade] adultery, now also lawless desire; He Who [forbade] robbery has now rather called blessed him who out of his own labours supplies those in need; He Who [enjoined] hatred, now [enjoins] love even towards enemies; He Who [allowed] retaliation, now forbearance of evil, not because just retaliation is unjust, but because forbearance is better. Nor did He legislate to cut out the natural passions, but their want of measure. He Who commanded to honour parents was Himself subject to them; He Who legislated the keeping of the Sabbath through rest for the sake of meditation on the laws has now bidden us every day, considering the law of creation and of providence, to give thanks to God. Circumcision He brought to an end, having fulfilled it in Himself; for He it was for Whom the expectation of the nations was laid up. He Who legislated to swear truly and forbade to swear falsely has charged us not even to swear. Baptism, sacrifice, priesthood, the worship bound to a place, He made over in another way: in place of a daily one, giving one only baptism, that into His death; in place of one tribe, commanding that the best out of every nation be appointed to the priesthood, and that not their bodies be examined for blemish, but their religion and lives; in place of the sacrifice through blood, a rational and bloodless one, and the mystical one, which unto

(42) ‹Ὁ μῖσος› · call in col 972

Ὁ μῖσος. Locus plane ἐλλειπτικός. Igitur qui ante me interpretati sunt, repetito ex superioribus verbo vetandi in odio, suppleverunt verbum jubendi in dilectione inimicorum. Ego vero propter Matthaei cap. V, quo manifeste respicitur, aliter vertendum putavi, et adjeci utrobique verbum praeceptionis: juxta illud auctoris qui dicitur, nec est Eusebius Emisenus, hom. 2 de Epiphania: Bonum vinum, id est bonum praeceptum est legis, quando audis: « Diliges proximum tuum, et odio habebis inimicum tuum. » Sed melius et fortius vinum est Evangelii, quando audis: « Ego autem dico vobis, diligite inimicos vestros, et benefacite his qui oderunt vos. » Forsan tamen melius usus fuissem permissionis verbo, in priori parte: quo modo explicant evangelistam Hilarius canone 4, et Augustinus lib. I, de sermone Dei in monte, cap. 21. Castigandus autem hic venit Casaubonus, dum Gregorium Nyssenum ipse vult castigare, sic scribentem in Epistola ad Eustathiam, Ambrosiam et Basilissam, paulo post initium: Κατὰ τοῦ τὴν ἐντολὴν δεδωκότος. Ὁ μὲν γάρ φησιν· « Ἀγαπήσεις τὸν πλησίον σου, καὶ μισήσεις τὸν ἐχθρόν σου. » Neque enim per datorem mandati Nyssenus intelligit Christum, quod visum Casaubono, sed Deum, ut ex antecedentibus facile datur colligi. Cot.

Ὁ μῖσος [“He who … hatred”]. The passage is plainly elliptical. Accordingly those who translated before me, repeating from the foregoing the verb of forbidding in the matter of hatred, supplied a verb of commanding in the matter of love of enemies. But I, on account of Matthew ch. 5, to which there is a manifest reference, thought it should be rendered otherwise, and added a verb of precept in both places: in accordance with that saying of the author who is called, but is not, Eusebius of Emesa, Homily 2 on the Epiphany: “The good wine, that is the good precept, is that of the law, when you hear: You shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy. But the better and stronger wine is that of the Gospel, when you hear: But I say to you, love your enemies, and do good to those who hate you.” Perhaps, however, I should have done better to use a verb of permission in the first part: as Hilary, canon 4, and Augustine, book I On the Lord’s Sermon on the Mount, ch. 21, explain the evangelist. But Casaubon comes in for correction here, while he himself wishes to correct Gregory of Nyssa, who writes thus in the Epistle to Eustathia, Ambrosia and Basilissa, a little after the beginning: “Against him who gave the commandment. For he says: You shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy.” For by the giver of the commandment Nyssen does not mean Christ, as Casaubon thought, but God, as is easily gathered from what precedes.

τὸν θάνατον τοῦ Κυρίου συμβόλων χάριν ἐπιτελεῖται, τοῦ σώματος αὐτοῦ καὶ τοῦ αἵματος· ἀντὶ δὲ τοπικῆς λατρείας, ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν καὶ μέχρι δυσμῶν ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ τῆς δεσποτείας αὐτοῦ προσέταξε δοξάζεσθαι αὐτὸν, καὶ ἐδικαίωσεν. Οὐ νόμον οὖν περιεῖλεν ἀφ' ἡμῶν, ἀλλὰ δεσμά. Περὶ γὰρ τοῦ νόμου Μωσῆς λέγει· «Μελετήσεις τὸ ῥῆμα ὃ ἐγώ σοι ἐντέλλομαι, καθήμενος ἐν οἴκῳ, καὶ ἀνιστάμενος, καὶ περιπατῶν ἐν ὁδῷ.» Καὶ ὁ Δαβὶδ λέγει· «Ἐν τῷ νόμῳ Κυρίου τὸ θέλημα αὐτοῦ·» καὶ ἐν τῷ νόμῳ αὐτοῦ μελετήσει ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτός. Πανταχοῦ γὰρ ἐννόμους ἡμᾶς εἶναι βούλεται, ἀλλ' οὐχὶ παρανόμους. «Μακάριοι γὰρ, φησὶν, οἱ ἄμωμοι ἐν ὁδῷ, οἱ πορευόμενοι ἐν νόμῳ Κυρίου· μακάριοι οἱ ἐξερευνῶντες τὰ μαρτύρια αὐτοῦ, ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ ἐκζητοῦσιν αὐτόν·» καὶ πάλιν· «Μακάριοί ἐσμεν, Ἰσραὴλ, ὅτι τὰ ἀρεστὰ τῷ Θεῷ ἡμῖν γνωστά ἐστι·» καὶ ὁ Κύριός φησιν· «Εἰ ταῦτα οἴδατε, μακάριοί ἐστε ἐὰν ποιῆτε αὐτά.»
the death of the Lord is celebrated by way of symbols, of His body and of His blood; and in place of worship bound to a place, from the rising of the sun even to its setting, in every place of His dominion He commanded that He be glorified, and deemed it right. He did not, then, take the law away from us, but the bonds. For concerning the law Moses says, "You shall meditate on the word which I command you, sitting in the house, and rising up, and walking on the way." And David says, "In the law of the Lord is his will," and on His law he will meditate day and night. For everywhere He wishes us to be within the law, and not transgressors of the law. "For blessed," he says, "are the blameless in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord; blessed are they who search out His testimonies; with the whole heart they will seek Him"; and again, "Blessed are we, O Israel, because the things pleasing to God are known to us"; and the Lord says, "If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them."

And not only does He wish the law of righteousness to be displayed through us, but He was pleased that it should appear and shine through the Romans also.

Διὰ Ῥωμαίων. Certum ac manifestum est non potuisse haec ab apostolis scribi. Sed an deduci debeant usque ad tempora imperatorum Christianorum, id vero ut parvi momenti, ita ambiguum, obscurumque mihi videtur. Quidni enim conveniant aetati Tertulliani, verbi gratia? Cum ethnici moerebant omnem sexum, aetatem, conditionem, et dignitatem transgredi ad Christianum nomen (Apologetici cap. 1); Christiani impleverant urbes, insulas, castella, municipia, conciliabula, castra ipsa, tribus, decurias, palatium, senatum, forum (cap. 37), erantque pars pene major civitatis cujusque (ad Scapulam 2); cum praesides multi favebant nobis, ipseque imperator Severus (ibid. cap. 4); cum denique Judaei, post expugnationem Jerosolymae, dispersi, palabundi, coeli et soli sui extorres vagabantur per orbem, sine homine, sine Deo Rege; prohibiti etiam vel advenarum jure terram patriam ingredi, et saltem vestigio salutare (Apologet. 21; Adversus Judaeos 13); tunc, inquam, in pace ac honore Ecclesiae, Romani dici utcunque poterant justitiae legem conspicuam reddere, fidem suscepisse, descivisse ab idololatria, bonos laudare, in malos animadvertere, Judaeos habere vectigales propriisque legibus privatos. Cot.— Sed quod Romani dicuntur non sinere Judaeos suis legibus vivere, videtur potius convenire Christianis, quam ethnicis. Ac sane captivitas, de qua hic sermo est, est major dispersio Judaeorum, deleta Jerosolyma, quam pauci apostoli viderunt; qui tamen hic omnes loquentes inducuntur ab impostore, qui satis apte eorum personam agere nescivit. Idem etiam, sui instituti immemor, disciplinam et vitia saeculi IV, ubi de Christianis agit, imprudens describit passim in hoc opere. Cl.

Διὰ Ῥωμαίων [“through the Romans”]. It is certain and manifest that these things could not have been written by the apostles. But whether they must be brought down as far as the times of the Christian emperors seems to me as doubtful and obscure as it is of small moment. For why should they not suit the age of Tertullian, for example? When the pagans were lamenting that every sex, age, condition and rank was going over to the Christian name (Apology, ch. 1); the Christians had filled cities, islands, forts, towns, assembly-places, the very camps, the tribes, the decuries, the palace, the senate, the forum (ch. 37), and were almost the greater part of every city (To Scapula 2); when many governors favoured us, and the emperor Severus himself (ibid., ch. 4); when, finally, the Jews, after the storming of Jerusalem, scattered, wandering, exiles from their own sky and soil, were roaming through the world without a man, without God, as King; forbidden even by the right of strangers to enter their native land and so much as greet it with a footstep (Apology 21; Against the Jews 13) — then, I say, in the peace and honour of the Church, the Romans could in some fashion be said to make the law of righteousness conspicuous, to have received the faith, to have fallen away from idolatry, to praise the good, to punish the bad, to hold the Jews as tributaries and deprived of their own laws. Cotelerius. — But that the Romans are said not to allow the Jews to live by their own laws seems to suit Christians rather than pagans. And indeed the captivity here spoken of is the greater dispersion of the Jews, after Jerusalem was destroyed, which few of the apostles saw; who nevertheless are here all brought in speaking by the impostor, who did not know how to play their part aptly enough. The same man too, forgetful of his own design, unwittingly describes the discipline and the vices of the fourth century, where he treats of Christians, throughout this work. Clericus.

εἰπόντες· «Οὐκ ἔχομεν βασιλέα, εἰ μὴ Καίσαρα·» καὶ, Ἐὰν μὴ ἀποκτείνωμεν, φησὶ, τὸν Χριστὸν, «πάντες εἰς αὐτὸν πιστεύσουσι· καὶ ἐλεύσονται οἱ Ῥωμαῖοι, καὶ ἀροῦσιν ἡμῶν καὶ τὸν τόπον καὶ τὸ ἔθνος·» καὶ ἄκοντες προεφήτευσαν· καὶ γὰρ καὶ ἐπίστευσαν εἰς αὐτὸν τὰ ἔθνη, καὶ αὐτοὶ ὑπὸ Ῥωμαίων τῆς ἐξουσίας περιῃρέθησαν, καὶ τῆς νομικῆς λατρείας· κεκωλυμένοι δέ εἰσι, καὶ ἀναιρεῖν οὓς ἂν θέλωσι, καὶ θύειν ὅταν θέλωσι· διὸ καί εἰσιν ἐπικατάρατοι, μὴ δυνάμενοι ποιεῖν τὰ διατεταγμένα· «Ἐπικατάρατος γὰρ, φησὶν, ὃς οὐκ ἐμμένει ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς γεγραμμένοις ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ τοῦ νόμου, τοῦ ποιῆσαι αὐτά·» ἀδύνατον δέ ἐστιν ἐν διασπορᾷ μεταξὺ ἐθνῶν ὄντας, πάντα τὰ τοῦ νόμου ἐπιτελεῖν αὐτούς. Ἀπαγορεύει γὰρ αὐτοῖς ὁ θεῖος Μωσῆς καὶ θυσιαστήριον ἔξω Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἱστᾷν, καὶ τὸν νόμον ἔξω τῶν ὅρων τῆς Ἰουδαίας ἀναγινώσκειν. Ἑπόμενοι οὖν ἡμεῖς Χριστῷ, τὰς εὐλογίας κληρονομήσωμεν· νόμῳ καὶ προφήταις διὰ τοῦ Εὐαγγελίου στοιχήσωμεν· φύγωμεν τοὺς πολυθέους, καὶ τοὺς χριστοκτόνους καὶ τοὺς προφητοφόντας, καὶ τοὺς δυσωνύμους καὶ ἀθέους αἱρεσιώτας· πειθαρχήσωμεν ὡς βασιλεῖ, ὡς ἐξουσίαν ἔχοντι μετατιθέναι διατάξεις διαφόρους, καὶ ἔχοντι, ὡς νομοθέτῃ, σοφίαν τοῦ διατάσσεσθαι διαφόρως, πανταχοῦ τῶν φυσικῶν ἀμεταθέτων φυλαττομένων.
saying, "We have no king but Caesar"; and, Unless we kill the Christ, it says, "all will believe in Him; and the Romans will come, and will take away both our place and our nation"; and unwillingly they prophesied; for indeed the nations did believe in Him, and they themselves were stripped by the Romans of their authority, and of the worship according to the law; and they are hindered both from putting to death whom they will, and from sacrificing when they will; wherefore they are also accursed, not being able to do the things ordained. "For accursed," it says, "is he who does not abide in all the things written in the book of the law, to do them"; and it is impossible for them, being in dispersion among the nations, to perform all the things of the law. For the divine Moses forbids them both to set up an altar outside Jerusalem, and to read the law outside the borders of Judaea. Let us therefore, following Christ, inherit the blessings; let us walk by the law and the prophets through the Gospel; let us flee the worshippers of many gods, and the slayers of Christ and the murderers of the prophets, and the heretics of evil name and godless; let us obey as a king, as One having authority to change various ordinances, and having, as Lawgiver, the wisdom to ordain in various ways, the natural things being everywhere preserved unchanged.

That one must flee the heretics, as corrupters of souls.

Keep away, therefore, from all heretics, O bishops and laymen, who disparage the law and the prophets; for, being at enmity with God Almighty, they disobey; and they do not confess Christ as Son of God; for they deny also His birth according to the flesh,

(53) ‹Καὶ τὸν νόμον ἔξω τῶν ὅρων τῆς Ἰουδαίας ἀναγινώσκειν› · call in col 976

Καὶ τὸν νόμον ἔξω τῶν ὅρων τῆς Ἰουδαίας ἀναγινώσκειν. Interpretatio est legis Mosaicae; quod discere licet ex B. Chrysostomo contra Judaeos oratione 2, et allusio ad locum Amos IV, 5, juxta Septuaginta: Πῶς γὰρ ἀναγγεῖλαι τοῦ Θεοῦ τὴν δόξαν ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν, ὁ μηδὲ νόμον ἀναγινώσκειν ἔξω τῶν ὅρων τῶν οἰκείων συγχωρούμενος; τοῦτο γὰρ αὐτὸ Ἀμὼν ὁ προφήτης ἐφθέγγετο· « Καὶ ἀνέγνωσαν ἔξω νόμον, καὶ ἐπεκαλέσαντο ὁμολογίας. » Quo modo enim populus Judaeorum posset annuntiare gloriam Dei inter gentes, qui ne legem quidem extra proprios terminos legere permissus est? Hoc ipsum enim Amos propheta pronuntiavit: « Et legerunt foris legem, et invocaverunt confessiones. » Incertus ad ps. XCV, 3, relatus in Catena: Οὔτε γὰρ στῆσαι βωμὸν, οὔτε θυσίαν ἀνενεγκεῖν, οὐ σπεῖσαι, οὐ πρόβατον ἐπιθεῖναι, οὐ θυμίαμα, οὐκ ἀναγνῶναι νόμον, οὐχ ἑορτὴν ἐπιτελέσαι, οὐκ ἄλλο τι τῶν τοιούτων αὐτοῖς ἐκτὸς τῶν προθύρων ἐκείνων ἐξῆν. Et postea: Καὶ τί λέγω θύειν καὶ σπένδειν; οὐδὲ ἁπλῶς ἀναγνῶναι τὸν νόμον ἐξῆν αὐτοῖς· καὶ τοῦτό ποτε ἐγκαλῶν ἕτερος προφήτης ἔλεγεν· « Καὶ ἀνέγνωσαν ἔξω νόμον, καὶ ἐπεκαλέσαντο ὁμολογίας. » Joannes Chrysostomus libro Quod Christus sit Deus cap. ult.; cujus et legi debet oratio 5 adversus Judaeos, paulo post initium. Sed consuli etiam debet Methodius, in Virginum convivio, p. 56, edit. Par. Id.

Καὶ τὸν νόμον ἔξω τῶν ὅρων τῆς Ἰουδαίας ἀναγινώσκειν [“and to read the law outside the borders of Judaea”]. It is an interpretation of the Mosaic law, as may be learned from blessed Chrysostom, Against the Jews, Oration 2; and an allusion to the passage Amos 4:5 according to the Septuagint: “For how could the people of the Jews proclaim the glory of God among the nations, who were not permitted even to read the law outside their own borders? For this very thing the prophet Amos [the Greek prints Ἀμών] uttered: And they read the law outside, and called for confessions.” An uncertain author on Psalm 95:3, reported in the Catena: “For it was not allowed them to set up an altar, nor to offer sacrifice, nor to pour a libation, nor to lay on a sheep, nor incense, nor to read the law, nor to keep a feast, nor anything else of the kind, outside those porches.” And afterwards: “And why do I speak of sacrificing and pouring libations? It was not even allowed them simply to read the law; and another prophet, once making this a charge, said: And they read the law outside, and called for confessions.” John Chrysostom, in the book That Christ is God, last chapter; whose Oration 5 Against the Jews, a little after the beginning, should also be read. But Methodius should be consulted too, in the Banquet of the Virgins, p. 56 of the Paris edition. The same.

Τινὲς δὲ ἐξ αὐτῶν ἑτέρως ἀσεβοῦσι, ψιλὸν ἄνθρωπον φανταζόμενοι τὸν Κύριον, ἐκ ψυχῆς καὶ σώματος αὐτὸν εἶναι νομίζοντες. Ἕτεροι δὲ ἐξ αὐτῶν, αὐτὸν εἶναι τὸν Ἰησοῦν τὸν ἐπὶ πάντων Θεὸν ὑποπτεύουσιν, αὐτὸν ἑαυτοῦ Πατέρα δοξάζοντες, αὐτὸν Υἱὸν καὶ Παράκλητον ὑποπτεύοντες· ὧν τί ἂν εἴη ἐναγέστερον; Ἄλλοι δ' αὖ πάλιν αὐτῶν, βρώματά τινα φαυλίζουσι· καὶ γάμον κακὸν σὺν παιδοποιίᾳ λέγουσιν εἶναι, διαβόλου τε μηχάνημα· καὶ διὰ τὴν πονηρίαν αὐτῶν ἀσεβεῖς ὄντες, οὐ θέλουσιν ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀναστῆναι, διὸ καὶ τὴν ἀνάστασιν διαβάλλουσι· φάσκοντες, ὅτι «Σεμνοί τινές ἐσμεν·» ἐσθίειν καὶ πίνειν μὴ βουλόμενοι, δαιμόνια δὲ ἄσαρκα φανταζόμενοι ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀναστήσεσθαι.

they are ashamed of the cross, they hold the Passion and the death in dishonour, they are ignorant of the resurrection, they cut away His generation before the ages. And some of them are impious in another way, imagining the Lord to be a mere man, supposing Him to be of soul and body. And others of them suspect that Jesus Himself is the God over all, holding Him to be His own Father, suspecting Him to be both Son and Paraclete; than which what could be more accursed? And others of them, again, disparage certain foods; and they say that marriage together with the begetting of children is evil, and a contrivance of the devil; and being impious on account of their wickedness, they do not wish to rise from the dead, wherefore they also slander the resurrection, asserting, "We are certain holy ones," not wishing to eat and drink, but imagining that they will rise from the dead as fleshless demons. These will be condemned for ever in the eternal fire. Flee from them, therefore, lest you perish together with their impieties.

Ψιλὸν ἄνθρωπον φανταζόμενοι τὸν Κύριον, ἐκ ψυχῆς καὶ σώματος αὐτὸν εἶναι νομίζοντες. Sensum catholicum admittunt haec, et sensum Arianum; quia adversus Ebionaeos similesque pestes dici possunt ab orthodoxo et ab Ariomanita. A primo quidem, qui videlicet arbitretur in Christo praeter corpus et animam esse etiam Dei Verbum. A posteriori vero, qui existimet loco animae in Domino exstitisse patibilem divinitatem. Ario quippe ac Arianis a pluribus tribuitur is error; qui, tempore S. Augustini, apud Latinos minus erat notus, videturque ab eruditissimo et diligentissimo Usserio ignoratus, aut non animadversus, illustrante B. Ignatium. Obiter emenda in Operibus S. Hieronymi auctorem Commentariorum ad Paulinas epistolas, in I Corinth. II, 8: Hoc loco ad defensionem perversi dogmatis, duae haereses abutuntur, Apollinarii, scilicet, et Arii. Una ut perfectam assumpti hominis naturam destruat: alia ut Dei Verbum asserat esse passibile. Neque erat [lego ea] intelligens, majestatis Dominum etiam assumptum hominem dictum: neque ista sciens, non divinitatis, sed humanitatis passibilem esse naturam. Observatu quoque dignum est, quod cum idem error Eunomio ascribatur, per Theodoritum, in fine interpretationis psalmi XV, epistola 145, dialogo 2, et Haereticarum fabularum lib. V, cap. 11, quod ultimum testimonium Nicetas Choniates transcribit Thesauri lib. III, cap. 39, itemque per Gennadium cap. 2 De ecclesiasticis dogmatibus; Eunomius tamen ipse in fidei suae expositione, a Valesio τῷ πάνυ ad Socratem publicata, Christum suum proponit ἀναλαβόντα τὸν ἐκ ψυχῆς καὶ σώματος ἄνθρωπον. Qui hominem ex anima constantem et corpore assumpsit. Cot

Ψιλὸν ἄνθρωπον φανταζόμενοι τὸν Κύριον, ἐκ ψυχῆς καὶ σώματος αὐτὸν εἶναι νομίζοντες [“imagining the Lord to be a mere man, supposing him to consist of soul and body”]. These words admit a Catholic sense and an Arian sense; for they can be said against the Ebionites and like plagues by an orthodox man and by an Ariomaniac. By the former, as one who holds that in Christ, besides body and soul, there is also the Word of God. By the latter, as one who thinks that in the Lord a passible divinity stood in place of the soul. For that error is attributed by many to Arius and the Arians; in the time of St. Augustine it was less known among the Latins, and it seems to have been unknown to, or unnoticed by, the most learned and diligent Ussher, in his illustration of blessed Ignatius. In passing, emend in the Works of St. Jerome the author of the Commentaries on the Pauline epistles, on 1 Corinthians 2:8: “Two heresies abuse this passage in defence of a perverse dogma, namely that of Apollinaris and that of Arius. The one, to destroy the perfect nature of the assumed man; the other, to assert that the Word of God is passible. Neither was [I read: she, i.e. the former] understanding that the assumed man too was called the Lord of majesty; nor the latter knowing that the passible nature is that not of the divinity but of the humanity.” It is also worth observing that, although the same error is ascribed to Eunomius by Theodoret (at the end of the exposition of Ps. 15, Epistle 145, Dialogue 2, and Heretical Fables, book V, ch. 11 — which last testimony Nicetas Choniates transcribes, Thesaurus, book III, ch. 39) and likewise by Gennadius, ch. 2 On Ecclesiastical Dogmas, yet Eunomius himself, in the exposition of his faith published by the eminent Valesius on Socrates, sets forth his Christ as “having assumed the man consisting of soul and body.” Cotelerius.

Αὐτὸν εἶναι τὸν Ἰησοῦν τὸν ἐπὶ πάντων Θεόν. Sane etiam accipio, ex more notissimo theologorum, tam veterum quam recentiorum, juxta quem nomina quaedam toti Trinitati communia, uni personae accommodantur: exempli gratia, Patri Deus, ὁ τῶν ὅλων Θεός, omnipotens, aliaque, et in iis ὁ ἐπὶ πάντων Θεός. Gregorius Nyssenus Περὶ διαφορᾶς οὐσίας καὶ ὑποστάσεως, ante medium: Ὁ δὲ ἐπὶ πάντων Θεὸς, ἐξαίρετόν τι γνώρισμα τῆς ἑαυτοῦ ὑποστάσεως, τὸ Πατὴρ εἶναι, τὸ ἐκ μηδεμιᾶς αἰτίας ὑφεστάναι, μόνος ἔχει. Illius frater in sanctum baptisma, sub finem: Οὔτε οὖν ἀλλότριον τῆς τοῦ Θεοῦ δόξης τὸ Πνεῦμα, ἐκ τοῦ ἀῤῥήτου στόματος ἀῤῥήτως ἐκπεφηνὸς, οὔτε αὐτὸς ὁ Θεὸς, ἀλλὰ Θεοῦ Πνεῦμα, καὶ παρὰ Θεῷ, ἀποστελλόμενον δὲ παρὰ Θεοῦ, καὶ διὰ Υἱοῦ χορηγούμενον. Ecce, magno Basilio Spiritus sanctus non est Deus, ut nostro Filius non est Qui super omnia exsistit Deus: quia neuter est prima sanctissimae Trinitatis persona. Videtur autem Constitutio jugulum petere Simonis Magi; utpote personas confundentis, quod colligere datur ex Irenaeo, Augustino ac Theodorito. In Appendice canonis 50 apostolici, de qua in adnotatione proximam praecedente: Ἐφ' ἡμῶν γὰρ Σίμων ὁ Μάγος ἐξηρεύξατο σπάσας τὸ ἄλαλον (codex Seguerianus τῷ λαῷ), πλάνον καὶ ἄστατον καὶ πονηρὸν εἰς ἑαυτὸν πνεῦμα, καὶ ἕνα τριώνυμον εἶναι φλυαρήσας τὸν Θεόν. Id est: Temporibus enim nostris Simon Magus eructavit, attracto in seipsum spiritu loquendi ignaro, erroneo, instabili et malo, atque Deum esse unum trinominem deblateravit. Sed forte legi debeat λᾶλον, aut potius, quo manu ducimur per ms. Segu., λαοπλάνον, ut apud Ignatium interpolatum ad Ephes. IX, ad Philadelph. 5, favente etiam Cedreno, p. 173, l. XXXVII. Consule Epiphanium haeresi 62, sectione 2, ubi de Sabellianismo ex Aegyptiaco evangelico. Cot.—Haec multo aptius ex calamo Ariani fluxisse intelligantur, cum illi negarent aperte Jesu Christi divinitatem esse τὸν ἐπὶ πᾶσι Θεόν. Vid. lib. III, cap. 17. Quando alii similiter sunt locuti, Arianorum stylo aliquo modo sese accommodarunt. Cler.

Αὐτὸν εἶναι τὸν Ἰησοῦν τὸν ἐπὶ πάντων Θεόν [“that Jesus himself is the God over all”]. I take this in a sound sense too, from the very well-known custom of theologians, ancient as well as more recent, by which certain names common to the whole Trinity are fitted to one person: for example, to the Father, “God,” “the God of the universe,” “almighty,” and others, and among them “the God over all.” Gregory of Nyssa, On the Difference of Essence and Hypostasis, before the middle: “But the God over all alone has, as a special mark of his own hypostasis, that he is Father and subsists from no cause.” His brother, on holy Baptism, towards the end: “Neither, then, is the Spirit alien from the glory of God, having shone forth ineffably from the ineffable mouth, nor is he God himself, but the Spirit of God, and with God, yet sent from God and supplied through the Son.” See: for the great Basil the Holy Spirit is not “God,” just as for our author the Son is not “the God who is over all”: because neither is the first person of the most holy Trinity. The Constitution seems, however, to aim at the throat of Simon Magus, as one who confounded the persons, which may be gathered from Irenaeus, Augustine and Theodoret. In the Appendix to the 50th apostolic canon, spoken of in the note immediately preceding: [Greek as printed] (the Séguier codex has τῷ λαῷ). That is: “For in our times Simon Magus belched forth, having drawn into himself a spirit ignorant of speech, erring, unstable and evil, and babbled that God is one with three names.” But perhaps λᾶλον [“talkative”] should be read, or rather, to which the Séguier manuscript leads us by the hand, λαοπλάνον [“people-deceiving”], as in the interpolated Ignatius, To the Ephesians 9, To the Philadelphians 5, Cedrenus also favouring it, p. 173, line 37. Consult Epiphanius, Heresy 62, section 2, where he treats of Sabellianism drawn from the Egyptian Gospel. Cotelerius. — These words would much more aptly be understood to have flowed from the pen of an Arian, since they openly denied that the divinity of Jesus Christ is “the God over all.” See book III, ch. 17. When others have spoken in like manner, they have in some way accommodated themselves to the style of the Arians. Clericus.

Their calls stand in the Latin of col. 978: 41 after "resecant", 42 after "existimantes", 43 after "dicunt". No editors' prose stands in the column: above is the Latin version of Book VI (running head CONSTITUTIONES APOSTOLICAE.— LIB. VI.), below are the Variorum notae (58)-(61), set under col. 977. UNSURE: the superscript numerals are faint in the scan; 41 and 43 read clearly enough, the second is taken as 42 by sequence and by its call in the text (its shape could be read 44). UNSURE: after the numeral 43 the first line ends with a short abbreviation read as "l." (possibly "I." or a broken "Id."); set as seen and left unresolved in the English. No such abbreviation stands before the first reference. "Ph lad." in the first reference has a failed letter in the print; read as "Philad." Q5 (2026-10-10): the same three references had also been set a second time under Editors' prose (with "I." for "l."); the duplicate was removed, and a supplied "[l.]" was removed from the head of the first reference. -->

ΚΕΦΑΛΑΙΟΝ ΚΖʹ. Περὶ παρατηρημάτων Ἰουδαϊκῶν καὶ Ἑλληνικῶν
CHAPTER XXVII. On Jewish and Greek observances
Εἰ δέ τινες παρατηρούμενοι, φυλάσσουσιν ἔθιμα Ἰουδαϊκὰ, γονοῤῥύας, ὀνειρώξεις, πλησιασμοὺς τοὺς κατὰ νόμον, λεγέτωσαν ὑμῖν, εἰ ἐν αἷς ὥραις ἢ ἡμέραις ἕν τι τούτων ὑπομείνωσι, παρατηροῦνται προσεύξασθαι, ἢ βιβλίου θιγεῖν, καὶ ἐὰν συνθῶνται, δῆλον ὡς τοῦ ἁγίου Πνεύματος κενοὶ τυγχάνουσι, τοῦ ἀεὶ παραμένοντος τοῖς πιστοῖς. Περὶ γὰρ τῶν ὁσίων λέγει ὁ Σολομών· ἵν' ἕκαστος ἑαυτὸν εὐτρεπίζῃ, ὅπως ὅταν καθεύδῃ, φυλάσσῃ αὐτὸν, καὶ ὅταν ἐγείρηται, συλλαλῇ αὐτῷ. Εἰ γὰρ νομίζεις, ὦ γύναι, ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας ἐν ἀφέδρῳ οὖσα, τοῦ ἁγίου Πνεύματος κενὴ τυγχάνειν, ἄρα τελευτήσασα ἐξαίφνης, κενὴ Πνεύματος, καὶ ἀπαῤῥησίαστος τῆς πρὸς Θεὸν ἐλπίδος ἀπελεύσῃ· †ἦ μὲν τὸ πνεῦμα ἔχεις πάντως ἀχώριστον, ὅτε μὴ ἐν τόπῳ ὄν· δεῖ δέ σοι προσευχῆς καὶ τῆς τοῦ ἁγίου Πνεύματος ἐπιφοιτήσεως, ὡς οὐδὲν ἐν τούτῳ παρανομοῦσα. Οὔτε γὰρ νόμιμος μίξις, οὔτε λέχος, οὔτε αἵματος φορὰ, οὐχ ὀνείρωξις, μιᾶναι δύναται ἀνθρώπου φύσιν, ἢ τὸ ἅγιον Πνεῦμα χωρίσαι· ἡ μόνη δὲ ἀσέβεια, καὶ παράνομος πρᾶξις. Τὸ γὰρ ἅγιον Πνεῦμα τοῖς κεκτημένοις αὐτὸ ἀεὶ παραμένον ἐστὶν, ἕως ἂν ὦσιν ἄξιοι· καὶ ὧν ἂν χωρισθῇ, τούτους ἐρήμους καθίστησι, καὶ τῷ πονηρῷ πνεύματι ἐκδότους. Πᾶς δὲ ἄνθρωπος, ὁ μὲν τῷ Πνεύματι πεπλήρωται τῷ ἁγίῳ, ὁ δὲ τῷ ἀκαθάρτῳ· καὶ οὐχ οἷόν τε φυγεῖν αὐτῶν ἑκάτερον, εἰ μὴ ἐναντίον τι πάθωσιν· ὅ τε γὰρ Παράκλητος μισεῖ πᾶν ψεῦδος, ὅ τε διάβολος πᾶσαν ἀλήθειαν· πᾶς δὲ βεβαπτισμένος κατὰ ἀλήθειαν, τοῦ μὲν διαβολικοῦ πνεύματος κεχώρισται, τοῦ δὲ ἁγίου Πνεύματος ἐντὸς καθέστηκε· καὶ ἀγαθοεργοῦντι μὲν παραμένει τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον, πληροῦν αὐτὸν σοφίας καὶ συνέσεως, καὶ τὸ πονηρὸν πνεῦμα οὐκ ἐᾷ αὐτῷ πλησιάσαι, ἐπιτηροῦν
But if some, being scrupulous, keep Jewish customs — fluxes of seed, nocturnal emissions, the intercourse that is according to law — let them tell you whether, in the hours or days in which they undergo any one of these, they scruple to pray, or to touch a book; and if they agree, it is plain that they are empty of the Holy Spirit, Who always abides with the faithful. For concerning the holy Solomon says: that each one may make himself ready, so that when he sleeps it may guard him, and when he rises it may converse with him. For if you think, O woman, that being seven days in your separation you are empty of the Holy Spirit, then, should you die suddenly, you will depart empty of the Spirit and without confidence in the hope that is towards God; truly you have the Spirit altogether inseparable, since He is not in a place; and you have need of prayer and of the visitation of the Holy Spirit, as one who transgresses nothing in this. For neither lawful intercourse, nor childbed, nor the flow of blood, nor a nocturnal emission, can defile the nature of a human being, or separate the Holy Spirit; but only impiety, and lawless action. For the Holy Spirit is ever abiding with those who possess Him, as long as they are worthy; and those from whom He is separated He leaves desolate, and given over to the evil spirit. Now every human being is filled, the one with the Holy Spirit, the other with the unclean; and it is not possible to escape either of them, unless they undergo something contrary; for the Paraclete hates every lie, and the devil all truth; and everyone baptized according to truth has been separated from the diabolic spirit, and stands within the Holy Spirit; and with him who does good the Holy Spirit abides, filling him with wisdom and understanding, and does not allow the evil spirit to approach him, watching

(63) ‹Γονοῤῥύας, ὀνειρώξεις› · call in col 980

Γονοῤῥύας, ὀνειρώξεις. Dupliciter haec quaestio potest pertractari, vel secundum dogma, vel secundum disciplinam. Et quidem quod ad doctrinam spectat, certum est involuntarias γονοῤῥύας et ὀνειρώξεις, legitimos concubitus, ἐμμήνια, puerperium, et similia nequaquam polluere, a solo peccato hominem contaminari. In disciplina vero considerare oportet loca, tempora, personas, ecclesiarum consuetudines, caeteras circumstantias: quibus omnibus perpensis, licuit aliter atque aliter censere, sancire, agere; damnando semper ac vitando ex una parte superstitionem ethnicam et Judaicam, ex alia irreverentiam malis Christianis solemnem. Atque haec notiora sunt apud theologos, quam ut in iis diutius immorari necesse sit. Cot.

Γονοῤῥύας, ὀνειρώξεις [“fluxes, nocturnal emissions”]. This question can be handled in two ways, either according to dogma or according to discipline. As regards doctrine, it is certain that involuntary fluxes and emissions, lawful intercourse, the monthly courses, childbirth and the like in no way defile, and that man is contaminated by sin alone. But in discipline one must consider places, times, persons, the customs of the churches and the other circumstances: all which being weighed, it was permissible to judge, enact and act now one way, now another; always condemning and avoiding on the one side pagan and Jewish superstition, on the other the irreverence habitual to bad Christians. And these things are too well known among theologians for it to be necessary to linger on them. Cotelerius.

(64) ‹Βιβλίου θιγεῖν› · call in col 980

Βιβλίου θιγεῖν. Solebant veteres melioresque Christiani libros sacros singulis diebus lectitare. Sic Gnostico Clementis Alexandrini lib. VII, p. 728: Εὐχαί τε καὶ αἶνοι, καὶ αἱ πρὸ τῆς ἑστιάσεως ἐντεύξεις τῶν Γραφῶν. Idem Clemens Paedagogi II, cap. 10, pag. 194: Ἀλλ' οἷς γε συγκεχώρηται γῆμαι, τούτοις ἐδέησεν Παιδαγωγοῦ, ὡς μὴ μεθ' ἡμέραν τὰ μυστικὰ τῆς φύσεως ἐκτελεῖσθαι ὄργια· μηδὲ ἐξ ἐκκλησίας, φέρε, ἢ ἀγορᾶς ἥκοντα ἑωθινὸν, ἀλεκτρυόνος ὀχεύειν δίκην, ὁπηνίκα εὐχῆς καὶ ἀναγνώσεως καὶ τῶν μεθ' ἡμέραν εὐεργῶν ἔργων ὁ καιρός. Vide Chrysostomum, homil. 3, de Lazaro, necnon Hieronymum multis satque cognitis in locis. Quod additur hic de eucharistia, in quibusdam exemplaribus, forte in aliis praeteritum fuit ab hominibus, qui contrariam consuetudinem aetate sua observari cernebant. Obiter moneo ut vitia duo lectionis tollas e loco hac in re celebrato Theodori Balsamonis respons. ad interrog. 9 Marci Alexandrini, Juris Graeco-Romani, p. 367: Φησὶ γὰρ τοῦ ἁγίου Διονυσίου ἀπόκρισις, imo Τιμοθέου, quae in collectione canonica Balsamonis exstat p. 1064, D. Et infra: Τῇ νυκτὶ γὰρ συντριβείη, pro quo bene mss. codices. τηνικαῦτα vel τηνικαῦτα γάρ. Joannes Citrius ad Constantinum Cabasilam responsione 19 in mss. quae a Jure Graeco-Romano, p. 323, etc., abest: Ἱερεῦσιν ἢ λαϊκοῖς ὀνειρώξασι, κατ' ἐκείνην μόνην τὴν ἡμέραν τῶν ἁγιασμάτων ἀπέχεσθαι θέμις, διὰ τὸ τῆς ἱερωσύνης σεβάσμιον. Εἰ δὲ κίνδυνον ἡ ὑπέρθεσις ἀπειλεῖ, ἢ ἡμέρα ἐφέστηκε περιφανὴς ἀπαραίτητον εἰσπράττουσα τὴν ἱερουργίαν, τηνικαῦτα συντριβείη ἡ παγὶς τοῦ ἐπηρεαστοῦ, ὑψωθείη δὲ τῆς ἱερωσύνης ἡ δύναμις. Cot.

Βιβλίου θιγεῖν [“to touch a book”]. The ancient and better Christians used to read the sacred books every day. So for the Gnostic of Clement of Alexandria, book VII, p. 728: “Prayers and praises, and the readings of the Scriptures before the meal.” The same Clement, Paedagogus II, ch. 10, p. 194: “But those to whom it has been granted to marry have need of the Pedagogue, that the mystic rites of nature be not performed by day; nor, say, on coming from church or from the market-place at dawn, to mate after the manner of a cock, when it is the time for prayer and reading and the good works of the day.” See Chrysostom, Homily 3 on Lazarus, and Jerome in many and well-enough-known places. What is added here about the Eucharist in some copies was perhaps passed over in others by men who saw the contrary custom observed in their own age. In passing I advise you to remove two faults of reading from a passage famous in this matter, of Theodore Balsamon, Response to Question 9 of Mark of Alexandria, Jus Graeco-Romanum, p. 367: “For the answer of St. Dionysius says” — rather, of Timothy, which stands in Balsamon’s canonical collection, p. 1064, D. And below: Τῇ νυκτὶ γὰρ συντριβείη, for which the manuscript codices rightly have τηνικαῦτα or τηνικαῦτα γάρ. John of Citrus to Constantine Cabasilas, Response 19 in the manuscripts, which is missing from the Jus Graeco-Romanum, p. 323, etc.: “For priests or laymen who have had an emission in sleep, it is right to abstain from the holy things for that day only, on account of the reverence due to the priesthood. But if delay threatens danger, or a conspicuous day is at hand demanding the sacred rite without excuse, then let the snare of the assailant be broken, and let the power of the priesthood be exalted.” Cotelerius.

Ὅθεν τὰ τοιαῦτα περιιστάμενοι παρατηρήματα, φεύγετε ἀγαπητοί· Ἑλληνικὰ γὰρ τυγχάνει· οὔτε γὰρ τὸν τεθνεῶτα βδελυσσόμεθα, ὡς ἐκεῖνοι· ἐλπίζοντες αὐτὸν πάλιν ἀναβιῶναι· οὔτε τὴν νόμιμον μίξιν κακίζομεν· ἔθος γὰρ αὐτοῖς τὰ τοιαῦτα ἀσεβεῖν. Θεοῦ γὰρ γνώμῃ, ἀνδρὸς καὶ γυναικὸς συνέλευσις γίνεται, ἡ μετὰ δικαιοσύνης· « Ὁ ποιήσας γὰρ ἀπ' ἀρχῆς, ἄρσεν καὶ θῆλυ ἐποίησεν αὐτούς· καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτοὺς, καὶ εἶπεν· Αὐξάνεσθε, καὶ πληθύνεσθε, καὶ πληρώσατε τὴν γῆν. » Εἰ τοίνυν Θεοῦ βουλήσει παραλλαγὴ σχημάτων γέγονε, πρὸς γένεσιν πλήθους· ἄρα κατὰ τὴν αὐτοῦ γνώμην, καὶ ἡ συνέλευσις τοῦ ἄῤῥενος πρὸς τὸ θῆλυ.
his approaches. You therefore, O woman, as you say, if in the days of your separation you are empty of the Holy Spirit, have been filled with the unclean one. For by not praying, nor reading, you will call him to you, even though he be unwilling; for he loves the ungrateful, if anyone does, the slothful, the careless, the drowsy; since he himself also, having through ingratitude fallen sick with ill will, was stripped by God of his dignity, having chosen to be a devil instead of an archangel. Therefore abstain from vain words, O woman; and be mindful always of God, Who fashioned you, and pray to Him; for He is Lord of you and of all things; and meditate on His laws, observing nothing scrupulously, neither natural purgation, nor lawful intercourse, nor childbirth or miscarriage, nor blemish of body; since such observances are vain inventions of foolish men, and have no sense. Neither the burial of a human being, nor a dead man's bone, nor a tomb, nor such and such a food, nor a nocturnal emission, can defile the soul of a human being; but only impiety towards God, and lawlessness, and injustice towards one's neighbour; I mean robbery, or violence, or whatever is contrary to His righteousness, adultery, or fornication. Wherefore, shunning such observances, flee them, beloved; for they are Greek; for neither do we abhor the dead man, as they do, since we hope that he will live again; nor do we revile lawful intercourse; for it is their custom to act impiously in such things. For by the purpose of God the coming together of man and woman takes place, that which is with righteousness: "For He Who made them from the beginning made them male and female; and He blessed them, and said: Increase, and multiply, and fill the earth." If therefore by the will of God a difference of forms has come to be, for the generation of a multitude, then according to His purpose is also the coming together of the male with the female.

Ita Cyrillus Hierosolymitanus, Gregorius Nyssenus, Caesarius, Theodoritus, Jobius, Cyrillus Alexandrinus, Theophylactus, nonnulli in Catena ad Jobum, Tertullianus, Augustinus; inter opera Hieronymi auctor commentariorum in Psalmos, quippe in Jobum scripsit; cum Fausto Rejensi et Gregorio papa.

Ἀντὶ ἀρχαγγέλου διάβολος [“a devil instead of an archangel”]. The holy Fathers teach that the devil was an archangel, “a chief of the front rank,” “distinguished among the angels and conspicuous among the powers above,” “holding the first rule among the angels,” “one of the first rulers,” the most eminent of the angels, lord of the nine orders of angels, first of all the angels, the firstborn of the angels, more eminent than the other angels and set over all the hosts of angels. So Cyril of Jerusalem, Gregory of Nyssa, Caesarius, Theodoret, Jobius, Cyril of Alexandria, Theophylact, some in the Catena on Job, Tertullian, Augustine; among the works of Jerome the author of the commentaries on the Psalms, as he also wrote on Job; with Faustus of Riez and Pope Gregory. Caesarius of Arles, in the homily On Humility and Pride, edited by the most distinguished Étienne Baluze: “Pride cast down the archangel himself from heaven.” See also the Consultations of Zacchaeus and Apollonius, book I, ch. 31, in volume X of d’Achery’s Spicilegium.

ΚΕΦΑΛΑΙΟΝ ΚΗʹ. Περὶ παιδεραστίας, μοιχείας τε καὶ πορνείας
CHAPTER XXVIII. On the love of boys, and on adultery and fornication
Οὐκέτι δὲ καὶ ἡ παρὰ φύσιν βδελυκτὴ μίξις, ἢ ἡ παράνομος πρᾶξις, ἐχθρὰ γὰρ Θεοῦ ὑπάρχουσα· καὶ γὰρ παρὰ φύσιν ἐστὶν ἡ Σοδόμων ἁμαρτία, καὶ ἡ πρὸς ἄλογα· παράνομον δὲ, μοιχεία καὶ πορνεία· ὧν τὰ μὲν, ἀσεβήματα· τὰ δὲ, ἀδικία· καὶ τὸ τελευταῖον, ἁμάρτημα· οὐδέτερον δὲ αὐτῶν ἀτιμώρητον, κατὰ τὴν οἰκείαν διάθεσιν. Οἵ τε γὰρ πρῶτοι διάλυσιν κόσμου μηχανῶνται, τὰ κατὰ φύσιν παρὰ φύσιν ἐπιχειροῦντες ποιεῖν· οἱ δὲ δεύτεροι, οἱ μὲν ἀδικοῦσιν, ἀλλοτρίους γάμους φθείροντες, καὶ τὸ ὑπὸ Θεοῦ γενόμενον ἓν, διαιροῦσιν εἰς δύο, τούς τε παῖδας ὑπόπτους, καὶ τὸν φυσικὸν ἄνδρα εὐεπιβούλευτον· ἥ τε πορνεία, φθορὰ τῆς οἰκείας ἐστὶ σαρκὸς, οὐκ ἐπὶ παιδοποιίᾳ γινομένη, ἀλλ' ἡδονῇ χαριζομένη τὸ πᾶν· ὅπερ ἐστὶν ἀκρασίας σύμβολον, ἀλλ' οὐκ ἀρετῆς σημεῖον. Ἀπηγόρευται δὲ τοῖς νόμοις ἅπαντα ταῦτα. Φησὶ γὰρ τὰ λόγια οὕτως· « Οὐ κοιμηθήσῃ μετὰ ἄῤῥενος κοίτην γυναικείαν· ἐπικατάρατος γὰρ ὁ τοιοῦτος· καὶ λίθοις λιθοβολήσατε αὐτούς· βδέλυγμα ἐποίησαν· πάντα κοιμώμενον μετὰ κτήνους, ἀποκτείνατε αὐτὸν, ἀνομίαν ἐποίησεν ἐν τῷ λαῷ. Καὶ ἐάν τις γυναῖκα ὕπανδρον μιάνῃ, ἀποκτείνατε ἀμφοτέρους· ἀνομίαν ἐποίησαν, ἔνοχοί εἰσιν, ἀποθανέτωσαν. » Καὶ ἑξῆς· « Οὐκ ἔσται πορνεύων ἐν υἱοῖς Ἰσραήλ· καὶ οὐκ ἔσται πορνεύουσα ἀπὸ θυγατέρων Ἰσραήλ. Οὐ προσοίσεις μίσθωμα πόρνης Κυρίῳ τῷ Θεῷ σου ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον, οὔτε ἄλλαγμα κυνός. Οὐ γὰρ ἁγναὶ, φησὶν, εὐχαὶ ἐκ μισθώματος ἑταίρας. » Ταῦτα μὲν ἀπηγόρευσαν οἱ νόμοι· τὸν δὲ γάμον ἐσέμνυναν, εὐλογημένον αὐτὸν ἀποκαλέσαντες· ἐπειδὴ καὶ εὐλόγησεν ὁ Θεὸς ὁ συζεύξας τὸ θῆλυ τῷ ἄῤῥενι. Λέγει δέ που καὶ ὁ σοφὸς Σολομών· « Παρὰ Κυρίου ἁρμόζεται γυνὴ ἀνδρί· » καὶ ὁ Δαβὶδ λέγει· « Ἡ γυνή σου ὡς ἄμπελος εὐθηνοῦσα ἐν τοῖς κλίτεσι τῆς οἰκίας σου· οἱ υἱοί σου ὡς νεόφυτα ἐλαιῶν, κύκλῳ τῆς τραπέζης σου. Ἰδοὺ οὕτως εὐλογηθήσεται ἄνθρωπος ὁ φοβούμενος τὸν Κύριον. » Οὐκοῦν ὁ γάμος τίμιος καὶ σεμνὸς, καὶ ἡ τῶν παίδων γένεσις, καθαρά· οὐδὲν γὰρ κακὸν ἐν καλῷ ὑπάρχει. Οὔτε οὖν ἡ φυσικὴ κάθαρσις, βδελυκτὴ παρὰ Θεῷ, ὃς αὐτὴν ᾠκονόμησε συμβαίνειν γυναιξὶν ἐν τριακονθημέρῳ, συστάσεως χάριν καὶ εὐρωστίας, ἀκινητοτέραις ὑπαρχούσαις,
But it is no longer so with the abominable intercourse that is against nature, or with lawless action, for that is hateful to God; for the sin of Sodom is against nature, and so is that with brute beasts; while adultery and fornication are against law; of these the former are impieties, the next an injustice, and the last a sin; and none of them is without punishment, according to its own character. For the first contrive the dissolution of the world, attempting to do against nature the things that are according to nature; and the second, for their part, do injustice, corrupting the marriages of others, and they divide into two what was made one by God, and make the children suspect, and the natural husband exposed to plots; and fornication is the corruption of one's own flesh, not taking place for the begetting of children, but granting everything to pleasure; which is a token of incontinence, and not a sign of virtue. Now all these things are forbidden by the laws. For the oracles speak thus: "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a woman; for such a one is accursed; and stone them with stones; they have wrought an abomination; everyone who lies with a beast, kill him, he has wrought iniquity among the people. And if anyone defiles a woman who has a husband, kill them both; they have wrought iniquity, they are guilty, let them die." And next: "There shall not be a man who commits fornication among the sons of Israel; and there shall not be a woman who commits fornication from among the daughters of Israel. You shall not bring the hire of a harlot to the Lord your God upon the altar, nor the price of a dog. For vows, it says, from the hire of a courtesan are not pure." These things the laws forbade; but marriage they honoured, calling it blessed; since God also blessed it, He Who yoked the female to the male. And somewhere the wise Solomon also says: "By the Lord a wife is fitted to a husband"; and David says: "Your wife is as a thriving vine on the sides of your house; your sons as young olive plants, round about your table. Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who fears the Lord." Marriage, therefore, is honourable and reverend, and the begetting of children pure; for there is nothing evil in what is good. Neither, then, is the natural purgation abominable before God, Who ordained that it should befall women in the space of thirty days, for the sake of their constitution and health, since they are less given to movement,

According to the sense and words of the Scripture of Leviticus 20, where θανάτῳ θανατούσθωσαν, “let them die the death,” and λίθοις λιθοβολήσετε αὐτούς, “you shall stone them with stones,” mean the same; as may be gathered from the same chapter, especially if it be compared with Ezekiel 16:38, 40; John 8:5; with Philo in Eusebius, Preparation for the Gospel, book VIII, ch. 7; and with Josephus, Against Apion, book II, p. 1075.

PG 1:985
ἅτε ἐν οἰκίᾳ καθημέναις τὸ πλεῖον. Οὐ μὴν δὲ, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐν τῷ Εὐαγγελίῳ ὁ Κύριος, τῆς αἱμοῤῥοούσης ἁψαμένης τοῦ σωτηρίου κρασπέδου ὑγιείας χάριν, οὐκ ἠχθέσθη ἐπ' αὐτῇ, οὔτε μὴν ὅλως ᾐτιάσατο· τοὐναντίον δὲ καὶ ἰάσατο αὐτὴν, φήσας· « Ἡ πίστις σου σέσωκέ σε. » Καὶ φυσικῶν μὲν φαινομένων ταῖς γυναιξὶν, οἱ ἄνδρες μὴ συνερχέσθωσαν, προνοίας ἕνεκα τῶν γεννωμένων. Ἀπεῖπε γὰρ ὁ νόμος. « Πρὸς γυναῖκα γὰρ, φησὶν, ἐν ἀφέδρῳ οὖσαν, οὐ προσεγγιεῖ. » Μήτε μὴν ἐγκυμονούσαις ὁμιλείτωσαν αὐταῖς· οὐκ ἐπὶ παίδων γὰρ γενέσει τοῦτο ποιοῦσιν, ἀλλ' ἡδονῆς χάριν· οὐ δεῖ δὲ φιλήδονον, τὸν φιλόθεον ὑπάρχειν.
as sitting for the most part at home. Moreover, in the Gospel also the Lord, when the woman with the issue of blood touched the saving hem for the sake of health, was not vexed at her, nor indeed blamed her at all; on the contrary He even healed her, saying: "Your faith has saved you." And when the natural courses appear in the women, let the husbands not come together with them, out of care for those who are begotten. For the law has forbidden it. "For to a woman, it says, who is in her separation, he shall not draw near." Nor indeed let them consort with them when they are with child; for they do this not for the begetting of children, but for the sake of pleasure; and the lover of God ought not to be a lover of pleasure.

CHAPTER XXIX. How wives ought to be subject to their own husbands, and husbands to cherish their own wives
Αἱ γυναῖκες, ὑποτάσσεσθε τοῖς ἰδίοις ἀνδράσι, καὶ διὰ τιμῆς αὐτοὺς ἔχετε, καὶ φόβῳ καὶ ἀγάπῃ δουλεύετε αὐτοῖς· ὡς ἡ ἁγία Σάῤῥα τὸν Ἀβραὰμ ἐτίμα, οὐδὲ ἐξ ὀνόματος αὐτὸν ὑπομένουσα καλεῖν, ἀλλὰ κύριον αὐτὸν προσαγορεύουσα, ἐν τῷ λέγειν· « Ὁ δὲ κύριός μου, πρεσβύτης. » Ὁμοίως οἱ ἄνδρες, στέργετε τὰς ἑαυτῶν γυναῖκας, ὡς ἴδια μέλη, ὡς κοινωνοὺς βίου, καὶ συνεργοὺς πρὸς γένεσιν παίδων. « Συνευφραίνου γὰρ, φησὶ, μετὰ γυναικὸς τῆς ἐκ νεότητός σου· ἔλαφος σῆς φιλίας, καὶ πῶλος σῶν χαρίτων ὁμιλείτω σοι· ἡ δὲ ἰδία ἡγείσθω σου, καὶ συνέστω σοι ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ· ἐν γὰρ τῇ ταύτης φιλίᾳ
Wives, be subject to your own husbands, and hold them in honour, and serve them with fear and love; as the holy Sarah honoured Abraham, not enduring even to call him by name, but addressing him as lord, in saying: "And my lord is an old man." Likewise, husbands, cherish your own wives, as your own members, as partners of life, and fellow workers for the begetting of children. "For rejoice, it says, with the wife of your youth; let the hind of your love, and the foal of your graces, keep company with you; and let her who is your own lead you, and be with you at every season; for in her love

(79) ‹Προνοίας ἕνεκα τῶν γεννωμένων› · call in col 985

Προνοίας ἕνεκα τῶν γεννωμένων. Hunc et superiorem locum illustrabunt verba Aeneae Gazaei (vel Αἰνέου σοφιστοῦ et Πλατωνικοῦ Χριστιανοῦ, si fides duobus libris mss. Regiae Bibliothecae) in dialogo, ante medium: Ἐπεὶ καὶ τῶν Ἑβραίων τὸν νόμον προσίεμαι, ὃς τοῦ λελωβημένου τὸν πατέρα κατέλευσεν, ὅτι δι' ἀκρασίαν τῆς γυναικὸς τὸν καθαρμὸν οὐχ ὑπέμεινεν, ὅθεν ἡ τῆς ὕλης πλεονεξία, καὶ ἡ αἰσχίστη τοῦ παιδὸς νόσος. Hoc est: Nam et Hebraeorum legem admitto, quae corpore foede vitiati hominis patrem adjudicavit lapidationi, eo quod ob intemperantiam purgationem conjugis non exspectaverit; unde materiae redundantia, et turpissimus prolis morbus exstitit. Quae confer cum Levit. XX, 18, et Theodorito quaest. 21 in Leviticum. Apposite etiam prae caeteris ad constitutionem Hieronymus in Ezechielis XVIII, 6: Per singulos menses, gravia atque torpentia mulierum corpora, immundi sanguinis effusione relevantur. Quo tempore si vir coierit cum muliere, dicuntur concepti fetus vitium seminis trahere; ita ut leprosi et elephantiaci ex hac conceptione nascantur, et foeda (f. et in foeda) in utroque sexu corpora parvitate (al. pravitate) vel enormitate membrorum, sanies corrupta degeneret. Nam praeter explicatam liberorum sortem (de qua Philo Judaeus De legibus specialibus, p. 781, Isidorus Pelusiota multis epistolis, Augustinus, III super Leviticum 64, et sermone 244 De tempore, atque alii) illud gravia atque torpentia corpora respondet verbis nostri auctoris, ἀκινητοτέραις ὑπαρχούσαις, quae allata paulo praecedunt. Cot.

Προνοίας ἕνεκα τῶν γεννωμένων [“out of forethought for the offspring”]. This passage and the one above will be illustrated by the words of Aeneas of Gaza (or “of Aeneas, sophist and Christian Platonist,” if two manuscript books of the Royal Library are to be trusted) in his dialogue, before the middle: “For I also accept the law of the Hebrews, which condemned to stoning the father of a man foully disfigured in body, because through incontinence he did not wait for his wife’s purification; whence the excess of matter and the child’s most shameful disease.” Compare this with Leviticus 20:18 and Theodoret, Question 21 on Leviticus. Aptly too, beyond the rest, for the constitution, Jerome on Ezekiel 18:6: “Every month the heavy and sluggish bodies of women are relieved by the outflow of unclean blood. If at that time a man has intercourse with a woman, the children conceived are said to draw a taint from the seed; so that lepers and those with elephantiasis are born of this conception, and the corrupt matter degenerates into bodies foul (perhaps: ‘and into foul’) in either sex by the smallness (elsewhere: deformity) or the enormity of their members.” For besides the lot of the children there set out (on which see Philo the Jew, On the Special Laws, p. 781; Isidore of Pelusium in many letters; Augustine, III on Lev. 64, and Sermon 244 De tempore; and others), that phrase “heavy and sluggish bodies” answers to the words of our author, ἀκινητοτέραις ὑπαρχούσαις [“being more sluggish”], which were adduced a little before.

Γέγραπται γὰρ οὕτω· « Κύριος διεμαρτύρατο ἀνὰ μέσον σου καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον γυναικὸς νεότητός σου· καὶ αὕτη κοινωνός σου· καὶ οὐκ ἄλλος ἐποίησε· καὶ ὑπόλειμμα πνεύματός σου· καὶ φυλάξασθε τῷ πνεύματι ὑμῶν, καὶ γυναῖκα νεότητός σου μὴ ἐγκαταλίπῃς. » Ἀνὴρ οὖν καὶ γυνὴ, νομίμῳ γάμῳ συνερχόμενοι, καὶ ἀπ' ἀλλήλων ἐγειρόμενοι, ἀπαρατηρήτως προσευχέσθωσαν· καὶ μὴ λουσάμενοι, καθαροί εἰσιν· ὃς δ' ἂν ἀλλοτρίαν γυναῖκα ὑποφθείρας μιάνῃ, ἢ συμ⟨μ⟩ιανθῇ πόρνῃ, ἀναστὰς ἀπ' αὐτῆς, οὐδ' ἂν τὸ πέλαγος ὅλον καὶ τοὺς ποταμοὺς πάντας ἀπολούσηται, καθαρὸς εἶναι δυνήσεται.
being carried about, you shall be many times multiplied." Love them therefore as your own members, as your own bodies. For thus it is written: "The Lord has borne witness between you and the wife of your youth; and she is your partner; and no other made [her]; and [she is] the remnant of your spirit; and take heed to your spirit, and do not forsake the wife of your youth." Let husband and wife, therefore, coming together in lawful marriage, and rising from one another, pray without scruple; and, even though they have not washed, they are clean; but whoever corrupts and defiles another man's wife, or is defiled together with a harlot, when he rises from her, not even if he should wash himself in the whole sea and all the rivers will he be able to be clean.
ΚΕΦΑΛΑΙΟΝ Λʹ. Ὅτι ἔθος Ἰουδαίοις τε καὶ Ἕλλησι, συμπαρατηρεῖσθαι τὰς φυσικὰς καθάρσεις, καὶ τῶν τεθνεώτων τὰ λείψανα βδελύσσεσθαι· Χριστιανῶν δὲ ἀλλότριον
CHAPTER XXX. That it is the custom of both Jews and Greeks to observe scrupulously the natural purgations, and to abhor the remains of the dead; but that this is foreign to Christians
Μὴ παρατηρεῖσθε οὖν τὰ ἔννομα καὶ φυσικὰ, νομίζοντες μολύνεσθαι δι' αὐτῶν· μηδὲ ἐπιζητεῖτε Ἰουδαϊκοὺς ἀφορισμοὺς, ἢ συνεχῆ βαπτίσματα, ἢ καθαρισμοὺς ἐπὶ θίξει νεκροῦ· ἀπαρατηρήτως δὲ συναθροίζεσθε ἐν τοῖς κοιμητηρίοις, τὴν ἀνάγνωσιν τῶν ἱερῶν βιβλίων ποιούμενοι, καὶ ψάλλοντες ὑπὲρ τῶν κεκοιμημένων μαρτύρων καὶ πάντων τῶν ἀπ' αἰῶνος ἁγίων, καὶ τῶν ἀδελφῶν ὑμῶν τῶν ἐν Κυρίῳ κεκοιμημένων· καὶ τὴν ἀντίτυπον τοῦ βασιλείου σώματος Χριστοῦ δεκτὴν εὐχαριστίαν προσφέρετε ἔν τε ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις ὑμῶν, καὶ ἐν τοῖς κοιμητηρίοις·
Do not therefore observe scrupulously the things that are lawful and natural, thinking that you are defiled by them; nor seek after Jewish separations, or continual washings, or purifications upon the touching of a dead body; but assemble without scruple in the cemeteries, making the reading of the sacred books, and singing psalms for the martyrs who have fallen asleep, and for all the saints from the beginning of the age, and for your brethren who have fallen asleep in the Lord; and offer the acceptable Eucharist, the antitype of the royal body of Christ, both in your churches and in the cemeteries;

Ἀπαρατηρήτως προσευχέσθωσαν. Theanus Pythagoricae elegans fertur apophthegma, laudatum a Clemente Alexandrino, postque eum a Theodorito: quae interrogata, ποσταία γυνὴ ἀπὸ ἀνδρὸς εἰς τὸ Θεσμοφόριον κάτεισιν, respondit: Ἀπὸ μὲν τοῦ ἰδίου, καὶ παραχρῆμα, ἀπὸ δὲ τοῦ ἀλλοτρίου, οὐδεπώποτε. Quod sequitur de lavatione, accipiet lucem ex his B. Chrysostomi, homil. 18, in I ad Corinthios: Τοῦτο δὲ καὶ ἡμῖν ἔθος· ἀπὸ μὲν γὰρ πλεονεξίας καὶ ἁρπαγῆς οὐκ ἄν τις σπουδάσειεν ἐπὶ βαλανεῖον ἐλθεῖν, ἀλλ' ἀδιαφόρως ἐπὶ τὴν οἰκίαν ἄνεισιν· ἀπὸ δὲ μίξεως πόρνης, καθάπερ ὅλως γενόμενος ἀκάθαρτος, ἐπὶ τὸ λούσασθαι ἔρχεται. Est autem hic quoque noster mos: nam ab avaritia quidem, fraude, et rapina non curarit quisquam ire in balneum, sed citra ullum discrimen redit domum: a concubitu autem cum meretrice, tanquam totus effectus immundus, venit ad lavandum. Vide Luciani Amores. Tertullianus de Oratione cap. 11: Omnibus licet membris lavet quotidie Israel, nunquam tamen mundus est. Cot.

Ἀπαρατηρήτως προσευχέσθωσαν [“let them pray without scrupulous observance”]. An elegant saying is reported of Theano the Pythagorean, cited by Clement of Alexandria and after him by Theodoret: who, being asked on what day after being with a man a woman may go down to the Thesmophorion, answered: “From her own husband, at once; from another’s, never.” What follows about washing will receive light from these words of blessed Chrysostom, Homily 18 on 1 Corinthians: “And this is our custom too: for after covetousness and robbery no one would be anxious to go to the bath, but goes up to his house without a thought; whereas after intercourse with a harlot, as though become wholly unclean, he goes to wash.” See Lucian’s Amores. Tertullian, On Prayer, ch. 11: “Though Israel wash every day in all his members, yet he is never clean.” Cotelerius.

Ἀπαρατηρήτως δὲ συναθροίζεσθε ἐν τοῖς κοιμητηρίοις. Conventuum qui in coemeteriis fieri solebant meminit Eusebius Hist. eccl. lib. IX, cap. 2, estque mos ille longe notissimus. Sed nolim eo trahi locum S. Athanasii Apologia de fuga sua p. 704: Τῇ γὰρ ἑβδομάδι μετὰ τὴν ἁγίαν Πεντηκοστὴν ὁ λαὸς νηστεύσας ἐξῆλθε περὶ (ita quoque apud Socratem ac Theodoritum, at in Nicephoro παρὰ) τὸ κοιμητήριον εὔξασθαι. Nam περί illud seu παρά, quod Historiae tripartitae lib. V, cap. 3, vertitur ad, significat prope sive juxta; ἐν ἐρήμῳ τόπῳ πλησίον τοῦ κοιμητηρίου, dicitur ab eodem magno Patre Apologia ad imperatorem, p. 692. Cot.

Ἀπαρατηρήτως δὲ συναθροίζεσθε ἐν τοῖς κοιμητηρίοις [“And assemble without scrupulous observance in the cemeteries”]. Eusebius, Ecclesiastical History, book IX, ch. 2, mentions the gatherings that used to be held in the cemeteries, and that custom is very well known indeed. But I should not wish the passage of St. Athanasius, Apology for his Flight, p. 704, to be drawn to this: “For in the week after holy Pentecost the people, having fasted, went out about (so also in Socrates and Theodoret, but in Nicephorus παρά) the cemetery to pray.” For that περί or παρά, which in the Tripartite History, book V, ch. 3, is rendered “to,” means “near” or “beside”; “in a desert place near the cemetery,” it is said by the same great Father in the Apology to the Emperor, p. 692.

Ψάλλοντες ὑπὲρ τῶν κεκοιμημένων μαρτύρων. Pro martyribus caeterisque beatitudine fruentibus psallere ac offerre, non est precari ut remissionem delictorum consequantur et salvi fiant, quae preces illos injuria afficerent: est tum orare ut eorum meriti fiamus participes, utque ipsorum deprecationibus nostrae exaudiantur, tum gratias agere Deo in memoriam illorum, laudem, gloriam atque honorem. Sic explicant liturgiae, etiam Clementis nostri; Constantinus imperator oratione ad sanctorum coetum cap. 12, quo loci memorantur ὕμνοι καὶ ψαλτήρια καὶ εὐφημίαι καὶ εὐχαριστίας θυσία· Cyrillus Hierosol., catechesi mystagogica 5; Epiphanius haeresi 75, quae est Aerii, sect. 7; Chrysostomus in Acta, homil. 21; Augustinus Tractatu 84 in Joannem, et sermone 17 de verbis Apostoli; Dionysius, De ecclesiastica hierarchia cap. 3; Innocentius PP. III, Nicolaus Cabasilas, Symeon Thessalonicensis, cum aliis. Noti sunt versus Hildeberti: Nam dum pro justo sacris assistitur aris, / Pro justo grates ipse minister agit. Cot.

Ψάλλοντες ὑπὲρ τῶν κεκοιμημένων μαρτύρων [“singing psalms for the martyrs who have fallen asleep”]. To sing psalms and to offer for the martyrs and the others who enjoy beatitude is not to pray that they may obtain remission of sins and be saved — prayers which would do them wrong: it is both to pray that we may be made sharers in their merit and that our prayers may be heard through their intercessions, and to give thanks to God in their memory, praise, glory and honour. So the liturgies explain it, including that of our Clement; the emperor Constantine in the Oration to the Assembly of the Saints, ch. 12, where there are mentioned “hymns and psalteries and acclamations and the sacrifice of thanksgiving”; Cyril of Jerusalem, Mystagogical Catechesis 5; Epiphanius, Heresy 75, which is that of Aerius, sect. 7; Chrysostom on Acts, Homily 21; Augustine, Tractate 84 on John, and Sermon 17 On the Words of the Apostle; Dionysius, On the Ecclesiastical Hierarchy, ch. 3; Pope Innocent III, Nicholas Cabasilas, Symeon of Thessalonica, with others. The verses of Hildebert are well known: “For while one stands at the sacred altars for a just man, / the minister himself gives thanks for the just man.” Cotelerius.

καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἐξόδοις τῶν κεκοιμημένων, ψάλλοντες προπέμπετε αὐτοὺς, ἐὰν ὦσι πιστοὶ ἐν Κυρίῳ· « Τίμιος γὰρ ἐναντίον Κυρίου ὁ θάνατος τῶν ὁσίων αὐτοῦ· » καὶ πάλιν· « Ἐπίστρεψον ἡ ψυχή μου εἰς τὴν ἀνάπαυσίν σου, ὅτι Κύριος εὐηργέτησέ σε· » καὶ ἐν ἄλλοις· « Μνήμη δικαίων μετ' ἐγκωμίων· » καί· « Δικαίων ψυχαὶ ἐν χειρὶ Θεοῦ. » Οἱ γὰρ Θεῷ πεπιστευκότες, ἐὰν καὶ κοιμηθῶσιν, οὐκ εἰσὶν νεκροί· λέγει γὰρ ὁ Σωτὴρ τοῖς Σαδδουκαίοις· « Περὶ δὲ τῆς ἀναστάσεως τῶν νεκρῶν οὐκ ἀνέγνωτε τὸ γεγραμμένον, ὅτι· Ἐγὼ ὁ Θεὸς Ἀβραὰμ, καὶ ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσαὰκ, καὶ ὁ Θεὸς Ἰακώβ; Οὐκ ἔστιν οὖν ὁ Θεὸς, Θεὸς νεκρῶν, ἀλλὰ ζώντων· πάντες γὰρ αὐτῷ ζῶσιν. » Οὐκοῦν τῶν παρὰ Θεῷ ζώντων οὐδὲ τὰ λείψανα ἄτιμα. Καὶ γὰρ καὶ Ἐλισσαῖος ὁ προφήτης μετὰ τὸ κοιμηθῆναι αὐτὸν, νεκρὸν ἤγειρε πεφονευμένον ὑπὸ πειρατῶν Συρίας· ἔψαυσε γὰρ τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ τῶν Ἐλισσαίου ὀστέων, καὶ ἀναστὰς ἔζησεν· οὐκ ἂν δὲ ἐγεγόνει τοῦτο, εἰ μὴ ἦν τὸ σῶμα Ἐλισσαίου ἅγιον. Καὶ Ἰωσὴφ ὁ σώφρων περιεπλέκετο τῷ Ἰακὼβ μετὰ τὸ ἀποθανεῖν ὄντι ἐπὶ τῆς κλίνης. Καὶ Μωσῆς, καὶ Ἰησοῦς ὁ τοῦ Ναυῆ ἐπεφέροντο τὰ λείψανα Ἰωσὴφ, μολυσμὸν οὐχ ἡγούμενοι τοῦτο. Ὅθεν καὶ ὑμεῖς, ὦ ἐπίσκοποι, καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ, ἀπαρατηρήτως ἁπτόμενοι τῶν κεκοιμημένων, μὴ νομίσητε μιαίνεσθαι, μηδὲ βδελύσσεσθε τὰ τούτων λείψανα· περιιστάμενοι τὰς τοιαύτας παρατηρήσεις, μωρὰς οὔσας· καὶ κοσμεῖτε αὐτοὺς ἐν ἁγιασμῷ καὶ σωφροσύνῃ, ὅπως μέτοχοι τῆς ἀθανασίας καὶ κοινωνοὶ τῆς βασιλείας τοῦ Θεοῦ γένησθε, καὶ τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν τοῦ Θεοῦ λάβητε, ἀναπαυόμενοι διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ
and at the departures of those who have fallen asleep, escort them forth with psalms, if they are faithful in the Lord: "For precious before the Lord is the death of His holy ones"; and again: "Return, my soul, to your rest, for the Lord has dealt kindly with you"; and elsewhere: "The memory of the righteous is with praises"; and: "The souls of the righteous are in the hand of God." For those who have believed in God, even if they fall asleep, are not dead; for the Saviour says to the Sadducees: "But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what is written: I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God, therefore, is not a God of the dead, but of the living; for all live to Him." Therefore not even the remains of those who live with God are without honour. For indeed Elisha the prophet, after he had fallen asleep, raised a dead man who had been slain by the raiders of Syria; for his body touched the bones of Elisha, and he rose up and lived; and this would not have happened, unless the body of Elisha were holy. And Joseph the chaste embraced Jacob after his death, as he lay upon the bed. And Moses, and Joshua the son of Nun, carried with them the remains of Joseph, not reckoning this a defilement. Wherefore you also, O bishops, and the rest, touching without scruple those who have fallen asleep, do not think that you are defiled, nor abhor their remains; shunning such observances, which are foolish; and adorn yourselves in holiness and temperance, that you may become partakers of immortality and sharers in the kingdom of God, and may receive the promise of God, resting through Jesus Christ

Ψάλλοντες προπέμπετε αὐτούς. Socrates lib. vii, cap. 46 : Αὐτοῦ τὸ σῶμα ἄχρι τοῦ μνήματος σὺν ψαλμῳδίαις παρέπεμπον. Chrysostomus homil. 4 in Epistolam ad Hebraeos, ὡς ἀθλητὰς αὐτοὺς προπέμπομεν, et sermone in textum Apostoli I Thessal. iv, 13, tom. V, καθάπερ τοὺς ἐπ' ἀρχὴν καλουμένους. Unde Gregorio Nysseno in Vita Macrinae, μυστικὴ πομπὴ dicitur. Scilicet, Christianorum est laetari in funere piorum : uti docetur a S. Chrysostomo multis in locis, et significatur per Hieronymum in Epitaphio Fabiolae, dum exprimitur mos canendi Alleluia in exsequiis. Mitto insignem canonem 22 concilii Toletani iii, aliaque testimonia, , quia christianam hanc traditionem (quemadmodum appellat Hieronymus in Vita Pauli Eremitae) nemo nescit. Quod autem προπέμπειν est multis, id non paucis est προκομίζειν, atque auctori incerto De Persica captivitate, quem R. P. Francisco Combefisio acceptum ferimus, p. 366 : Τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς ἡμῶν, inquit, πολλάκις προκομίζοντες, ἢ λιτὰς καὶ ἱκεσίας τῷ Θεῷ ὑπὲρ τῶν ἀπειλῶν (conjicio ἀπελθόντων) προσφέροντες, καὶ ἐκεῖσε τοῖς προειρημένοις ἐνασχολούμεθα. Id est, Saepe cum fratres nostros efferimus, aut Deo preces ac supplicationes pro defunctis offerimus, etiam illic in supra dictis rebus occupamur, delictis videlicet. Cot.

"Escort them with psalm-singing." Socrates, book 7, chapter 46: "They accompanied his body as far as the tomb with psalmody." Chrysostom, homily 4 on the Epistle to the Hebrews, "we escort them as athletes", and in the sermon on the Apostle's text 1 Thessalonians 4:13, vol. V, "like those who are called to an office". Hence in Gregory of Nyssa's Life of Macrina it is called a "mystic procession". It belongs, that is, to Christians to rejoice at the burial of the godly: as is taught by St. Chrysostom in many places, and is indicated by Jerome in the Epitaph of Fabiola, where the custom of singing Alleluia at funerals is described. I pass over the notable canon 22 of the third council of Toledo, and other testimonies, because no one is ignorant of this "Christian tradition" (as Jerome calls it in the Life of Paul the Hermit). Now what many express by προπέμπειν, not a few express by προκομίζειν, among them the unknown author On the Persian Captivity, whom we owe to the Rev. Father François Combefis, p. 366: "Often," he says, "when carrying out our brethren, or offering litanies and supplications to God for the threats" (I conjecture "for the departed"), "even there we are busied with the aforesaid things." That is, "Often when we carry out our brethren, or offer prayers and supplications to God for the dead, even there we are occupied with the things spoken of above," namely with sins. Cotelier.

Eo, inquam, in loco ambiguitas vocis αὐτῶν, respondentis Hebraico הם, quod ex sensu optime redditur a Latino interprete per quidam, turbavit non paucos, ut sepultores istos arbitrarentur esse ipsos grassatores, qui terrae mandarent aut hominem a se occisum, aut commilitem suum et collatronem. Prima sententia est etiam illius qui Chronicum vocatum Alexandrinum composuit p. 242, necnon auctoris Tractatus de resurrectione Domini, tom. IX Operum S. Hieronymi ; secunda est nostri, et Zonarae in Annalibus, post Josephum Antiquit.

"Slain by raiders of Syria." In the Septuagint, 4 Kings 13:20: "And Elisha died, and they buried him; and light-armed bands of Moab came into the land at the coming of the year, and it came to pass as they were burying the man, that behold they saw the light-armed band, and they cast the man into the tomb of Elisha; and he went, and touched the bones of Elisha, and he lived, and stood up upon his feet." In that place, I say, the ambiguity of the word αὐτῶν ("they"), answering to the Hebrew הם, which the Latin translator renders excellently according to the sense by quidam ("certain men"), has confused not a few, so that they supposed those buriers to be the raiders themselves, committing to the earth either a man they had killed, or a fellow-soldier and fellow-robber of their own. The first opinion is also that of the man who composed the Chronicle called Alexandrian, p. 242, and of the author of the Treatise on the Resurrection of the Lord, vol. IX of the Works of St. Jerome; the second is our author's, and that of Zonaras in the Annals, following Josephus, Jewish Antiquities, book 9, chapter 9; the third is that of Athanasius in the Synopsis of Scripture, of Pseudo-Epiphanius in the Life of Elisha, where μονόζωος is read with one letter fewer, and likewise of George Cedrenus in the Compendium of Histories. More correctly, among the Greeks, Asterius in the Encomium on the Holy Martyrs, and Eulogius of Alexandria, book 5 Against the Novatians, in Photius, codex 280. See in this Work p. 842, C.

of the Saviour, eternally. To Him therefore Who is able to open the ears of your hearts to receive the oracles of God ministered both through the Gospel and through the teaching of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, Who was crucified under Pontius Pilate and Herod, and fell asleep and rose from the dead, and is coming again at the consummation of the age with glory and great power, and raises the dead, and brings an end upon the world, and apportions to each what accords with his desert; to Him Who gave us Himself as a pledge of the resurrection, and was taken up into the heavens through the power of His God and Father before our eyes, who ate with Him and drank with Him for forty days after He rose from the dead, and Who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the majesty of the almighty God upon the Cherubim, Who heard: "Sit at My right hand, until I make Thine enemies the footstool of Thy feet" (Ps. 109:1); Whom the most blessed Stephen beheld standing at the right hand of the Power, and crying out said: "Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God" (Acts 7:55), as high priest of all the rational orders; through Whom be worship, and majesty, and glory to the almighty God, both now, and unto the ages. Amen.

(99) ‹Τῷ οὖν δυναμένῳ› · call in col 992

Τῷ οὖν δυναμένῳ, etc. Desideratur ad sensum in hac longa periodo nonnihil. Ac forte, quod contingere solet scribentibus negligenter, nec semel scripta relegentibus, nostro usu venit, ut longius abreptus, superiorum immemor putaverit se dixisse quod non dixerat. Ἀνακόλουθον et ἀναπόδοτον vocant grammaticorum filii. Cot.

"To him therefore who is able," etc. Something is wanting to the sense in this long period. And perhaps, as commonly befalls those who write carelessly and do not read over what they have once written, it happened to our author that, carried too far along and forgetful of what went before, he supposed he had said what he had not said. The sons of the grammarians call it anacoluthon and anapodoton. Cotelier.

Ἀρχιερέα πάντων τῶν λογικῶν ταγμάτων. Nisi sobrie intelligatur, ad Origenismum accedit; affine his Origenis tomo i in Joannem : Μέγας ἐστὶν ἀρχιερεὺς, οὐχ ὑπὲρ ἀνθρώπων μόνων, ἀλλὰ καὶ παντὸς λογικοῦ, τὴν ἅπαξ θυσίαν προσενεχθεῖσαν ἑαυτὸν ἀνενεγκών. Christus magnus est pontifex, non pro solis hominibus, sed etiam pro omni quod rationis est capax, hostiam semel oblatam seipsum offerens. Videsis doctissimi clarissimique viri Danielis Huetii Origeniana : et nos infra. Cot.

"High priest of all the rational orders." Unless it is soberly understood, it comes near to Origenism; it is akin to these words of Origen in tome 1 on John: "He is a great high priest, not for men only, but also for every rational being, having offered up himself, the sacrifice once offered." "Christ is a great high priest, not for men alone, but also for everything that is capable of reason, offering himself as the victim once offered." See, if you will, the Origeniana of that most learned and distinguished man Daniel Huet: and ourselves below. Cotelier.

"Of the prophet Elijah." In the Questions of Anastasius, the Royal Library manuscripts 200, 1789, 2206 have Ἡλία; where the printed editions have Ἡλιοῦ, and manuscript 1107 Ἠλιοῦ. For the Greeks too often put the aspirate on this name, less correctly: and they are accustomed to make the genitive Ἡλία, or Ἡλιού, Ἡλιοῦ and Ἡλίου, but the nominative Ἡλίας or Ἡλιού: and when, for this last, an unskilled copyist in Nicetas's oration on the archangels Michael and Gabriel had written Ἡλίου, the learned Petrus Possinus thought it should be corrected to Ἡλίας.

"Hams" (ἰγνύαις). The word seems ambiguous, as the Hebrew one is. Hesychius: "ἰγνύα: soul, or the part behind the knee."

Since the lawgiver Moses said to the Israelites: "Behold, I have set before your face the way of life, and the way of death" (Deut. 30:15); and added: "Choose life, that you may live" (Deut. 30:19); and since the prophet Elias said to the people: "How long will you go lame upon both your hams? If God is the Lord, go after Him" (3 Kgs. 18:21); with reason the Lord Jesus also said: "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or he will hold to one, and despise the other" (Matt. 6:24); of necessity we too, following the teacher Christ, "Who is the saviour of all men, especially of the faithful" (1 Tim. 4:10), say that there are two ways, one of life, and one of death; no

Εὐλογεῖτε τοὺς καταρωμένους ὑμᾶς· προσεύχεσθε ὑπὲρ τῶν ἐπηρεαζόντων ὑμᾶς· ἀγαπᾶτε τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ὑμῶν· ποία γὰρ ὑμῖν χάρις, ἐὰν φιλῆτε τοὺς φιλοῦντας ὑμᾶς; καὶ γὰρ καὶ οἱ ἐθνικοὶ τοῦτο ποιοῦσιν· ὑμεῖς δὲ φιλεῖτε τοὺς μισοῦντας ὑμᾶς. » Καὶ ἐχθρὸν οὐχ ἕξετε· « Οὐ μισήσεις γὰρ, φησὶ, πάντα ἄνθρωπον, οὐκ Αἰγύπτιον, οὐκ Ἰδουμαῖον· » ἅπαντες γάρ εἰσι τοῦ Θεοῦ ἔργα. Φεύγετε δὲ οὐ τὰς φύσεις, ἀλλὰ τὰς γνώμας τῶν πονηρῶν. « Ἀπέχου τῶν σαρκικῶν καὶ κοσμικῶν ἐπιθυμιῶν. Ἐάν τίς σοι δῷ ῥάπισμα εἰς τὴν δεξιὰν σιαγόνα, στρέψον αὐτῷ καὶ τὴν ἄλλην· » οὐ φαύλης οὔσης τῆς ἀμύνης, ἀλλὰ τιμιωτέρας τῆς ἀνεξικακίας· λέγει γὰρ ὁ Δαβίδ· « Εἰ ἀνταπέδωκα τοῖς ἀνταποδιδοῦσί μοι κακά. Ἐὰν ἀγγαρεύσῃ σέ τις μίλιον ἓν, ὕπαγε μετ' αὐτοῦ δύο, καὶ τῷ θέλοντί σοι κριθῆναι, καὶ τὸν χιτῶνά σου λαβεῖν, ἄφες αὐτῷ καὶ τὸ ἱμάτιον· καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ αἴροντος τὰ σὰ, μὴ ἀπαίτει. Τῷ αἰτοῦντί σε, δίδου· καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ θέλοντος δανείσασθαι παρὰ σοῦ, μὴ ἀποστραφεὶς ἀποκλείσῃς τὴν χεῖρα· » δίκαιος γὰρ ἀνὴρ οἰκτείρει καὶ κιχρᾷ· πᾶσι γὰρ θέλει δίδοσθαι ὁ Πατὴρ, ὁ τὸν ἥλιον αὐτοῦ ἀνατέλλων ἐπὶ πονηροὺς, καὶ ἀγαθοὺς, καὶ τὸν ὑετὸν αὐτοῦ βρέχων ἐπὶ δικαίους καὶ ἀδίκους. Πᾶσιν οὖν δίκαιον διδόναι ἐξ οἰκείων πόνων. « Τίμα γὰρ, φησὶ, τὸν Κύριον ἀπὸ σῶν δικαίων πόνων· » προτιμητέον δὲ τοὺς ἁγίους. « Οὐ φονεύσεις· » τουτέστιν, οὐ φθερεῖς τὸν ὅμοιόν σοι ἄνθρωπον· διαλύεις γὰρ τὰ καλῶς γινόμενα· οὐχ ὡς παντὸς φόνου φαύλου τυγχάνοντος, ἀλλὰ μόνου τοῦ ἀθώου, τοῦδ' ἐνδίκου ἄρχουσι μόνοις ἀφωρισμένου.
The first, then, is the way of life; and it is this which the law also declares: "To love the Lord God with the whole mind, and with the whole soul, the one and only, beside Whom there is no other, and one's neighbour as oneself" (Deut. 6:5; Lev. 19:18); and: "Everything that you do not wish to happen to you, you also shall not do this to another (Tob. 4:16). Bless those who curse you; pray for those who treat you despitefully; love your enemies; for what thanks have you, if you love those who love you? For even the heathen do this; but you, love those who hate you" (Matt. 5:44–47). And you shall have no enemy; "for you shall not hate," He says, "any man, not an Egyptian, not an Idumaean" (Deut. 23:7); for all are works of God. Flee, however, not the natures, but the dispositions of the wicked. "Abstain from fleshly and worldly desires (1 Pet. 2:11). If anyone give you a blow on the right cheek, turn to him the other also" (Matt. 5:39); not that self-defence is evil, but that forbearance is more honourable; for David says: "If I have repaid those who repay me evils" (Ps. 7:5). "If anyone compel you to go one mile, go with him two, and to him who wishes to go to law with you, and to take your tunic, leave your cloak also; and from him who takes away what is yours, do not ask it back. To him who asks you, give; and from him who wishes to borrow from you, do not turn away and shut your hand" (Matt. 5:40–42; Luke 6:30); for the righteous man shows pity and lends (Ps. 111:5); for the Father wills that there be giving to all, He Who makes His sun rise on the wicked and the good, and rains His rain on the righteous and the unrighteous (Matt. 5:45). To all, therefore, it is right to give from one's own labours. "For honour," he says, "the Lord from your righteous labours" (Prov. 3:9); but the saints are to be preferred. "You shall not kill" (Exod. 20:13); that is, you shall not destroy a man like yourself; for you dissolve things that have been well made; not as though every killing were evil, but only that of the innocent, while the lawful one is reserved to rulers alone.

Οὐ παιδοφθορήσεις. Infandum scelus dicitur διαφθορὰ in titulo, proprie, ex dictato Hesychii magni magistri, διαφθορᾶς, ἐχθρᾶς βδελυρίας. Lexicon Cyrilli : «Διαφθορὰ, παιδὸς ἢ παρθένου. Stuprum.» Ἀῤῥενοφθορεῖν apud Gregorium Nyssenum De Vita Mosis, et Caesarium quaestione 109. Alio sensu Joannes monachus in Canonario παιδοφθορίαν definit, τὸ κόρην παρθένον νεᾶνιν πρὸ τῆς ἥβης, ἤγουν πρὸ τῶν δώδεκα χρόνων διαφθαρῆναι. Porro istud οὐ παιδοφθορήσεις junctum cum οὐ μοιχεύσεις et οὐ πορνεύσεις, a Barnaba habet quoque Clemens Alexandrinus Admonitione ad gentes, p. 67, et Paedagogi lib. ii, cap. 10. Cot.

"You shall not corrupt boys." The unspeakable crime is called διαφθορά ("corruption") in the heading, properly so, by the teaching of the great master Hesychius: "διαφθορᾶς: of hateful abomination." The Lexicon of Cyril: "Διαφθορά, of a boy or of a virgin. Defilement." Ἀῤῥενοφθορεῖν ("to corrupt males") is found in Gregory of Nyssa, On the Life of Moses, and in Caesarius, question 109. In another sense John the monk in the Canonarium defines παιδοφθορία as "the corrupting of a maiden, a virgin girl, before puberty, that is, before twelve years". Moreover this "you shall not corrupt boys", joined with "you shall not commit adultery" and "you shall not commit fornication", Clement of Alexandria also has from Barnabas, in the Exhortation to the Gentiles, p. 67, and in the Paedagogus, book 2, chapter 10.

Οὐ φονεύσεις τέκνον σου ἐν φθορᾷ. Optime, ex Barnaba : licet Anastasii Quaestiones manuscriptae exhibeant : Οὐ φονεύσεις βρέφος ἐν διαφθορᾷ· πᾶν γὰρ τὸ ἐξεικονισμένον, ψυχὴν λαβὸν παρὰ Θεοῦ, φονευθὲν ἀδίκως, ἐκδικηθήσεται. Voces φθορὰ, διαφθορὰ, φθείρειν, διαφθείρειν, φθορεὺς, φθόριος, etc., in explicando abortu frequenter occurrere, apud sacros et profanos auctores, notius est quam ut loca proferre sit necesse, si demas pauca, quae aut illustria sunt, aut opis criticae videntur indigere. Qualia prae oculis habeo ista Clementis Alexandrini Paedag. ii, 10, p. 194 : Αὗται γὰρ πορνείας ἐπικαλύμματι (vel ἐπὶ καλύμματι) τοῖς ἐς παντελῆ κατασπῶσι φθορὰν φθορίοις συγχρώμεναι φαρμάκοις, ἐξαναλίσκουσιν ἅμα τῷ ἐμβρύῳ τὴν φιλανθρωπίαν. Basilii canone 2 : Φθείρασα κατ' ἐπιτήδευσιν, φόνου δίκην ὑπέχει, etc., Lexici Graeco-Latini veteres : «Διαφθορὰ, ἐπὶ ἀμβλώσεως. Abortus.» Concilii Ancyrani can. 21 : Περὶ τῶν γυναικῶν τῶν ἐκπορνευουσῶν, καὶ ἀναιρουσῶν τὰ γεννώμενα, καὶ σπουδαζουσῶν τὰ φθόρια ποιεῖν. Suidae, ἀμβλωθρίδια· ἐκτρώματα (sic constituo etiam ex veteribus libris), τὰ ἐξημβλωμένα ἔμβρυα. Καὶ ἀμβλωθρίδιον, αὐτό τε τὸ φθόριον φάρμακον, καὶ δὴ καὶ τὸ διαφθαρέν. Hesychii : Ἀμβλώσσειν· ὠμοτοκεῖν. Ἀμβλωθρίδια· τὰ ἐξηπλωμένα (pro ἐξημβλωμένα) ἔμβρυα. Denique Josephi lib. ii contra Apionem, p. 1074 : Ὁ νόμος γυναιξὶν ἀπεῖπεν, μήτε ἀμφιβάλλειν ποτὲ ἔν τινι τῶν αὐτῆς, μήτε διαφθείρειν· ἀλλὰ μηχανῇ τινι προσέπεσθαι αὐτοῦ (vel αὐτῷ), τεκνοκτόνος γὰρ ἂν εἴη, ψυχὴν ἀφανίζουσα, καὶ τὸ γένος ἐλαττοῦσα. Τοιγαροῦν εἴτις ἐπὶ λέχος ἢ φθορὰν παρέλθοι, καθαρὸς εἶναι οὐ δύναται. Ἢ καὶ μετὰ τὴν νόμιμον συνουσίαν ἀνδρὸς καὶ γυναικὸς ἀπολούσασθαι κελεύει ὁ νόμος. Ψυχῆς τε γὰρ καὶ σώματος ἐγγίνεται μολυσμὸς, ὡς πρὸς ἄλλην χώραν ὑποβαλόντων.

"You shall not slay your child by abortion." Excellently, from Barnabas: although the manuscript Questions of Anastasius present: "You shall not slay an infant by abortion; for everything that has been formed, having received a soul from God, if it is unjustly slain, shall be avenged." That the words φθορά, διαφθορά, φθείρειν, διαφθείρειν, φθορεύς, φθόριος and the like frequently occur in speaking of abortion, in sacred and profane authors, is too well known for it to be necessary to produce passages, except a few which are either notable or seem to need the help of criticism. Such are these that I have before my eyes, of Clement of Alexandria, Paedagogus 2, 10, p. 194: "For these women, to cover their fornication" (or "upon a covering"), "using abortive drugs that drag down to utter destruction, expend their human kindness together with the embryo." Of Basil, canon 2: "She who has destroyed [the child] of set purpose undergoes the penalty of murder," etc. Of the old Greek-Latin Lexicon: "Διαφθορά, of miscarriage. Abortion." Of the Council of Ancyra, canon 21: "Concerning women who commit fornication, and destroy what is conceived, and busy themselves with making abortifacients." Of Suidas: "ἀμβλωθρίδια: untimely births" (so I establish the text, also from the old books), "embryos that have been miscarried. And ἀμβλωθρίδιον, both the abortive drug itself, and also that which has been destroyed." Of Hesychius: "Ἀμβλώσσειν: to bring forth untimely. Ἀμβλωθρίδια: embryos spread out" (for "miscarried"). Lastly of Josephus, book 2 Against Apion, p. 1074: "The law forbade women either ever to cast forth [?] in anything of her own, or to destroy it; but by some device to follow upon it" (or "him") [the Greek is corrupt as cited], "for she would be a child-murderer, doing away with a soul and diminishing the race. Therefore if anyone should pass on to the bed or to corruption, he cannot be clean. Indeed even after the lawful intercourse of man and wife the law bids them wash. For a defilement of both soul and body arises, as of those cast upon another country. For the soul suffers when it is implanted in bodies, and again when it is parted from them as by death; wherefore he enjoined a heightened purity on such persons." In Latin, in Rufinus's translation: "The law has forbidden women either to conceal what has been set" (the Royal codex: "what has been appointed") "or by any other contrivance to destroy a child. For she is an adulteress, destroying a soul and diminishing the race. Therefore if anyone has passed over to intercourse and corruption, [he is] unclean" (the manuscripts add "is"). "But it is also needful" (it is absent from (continues)

"You shall not commit adultery"; for you divide one flesh into two: "For the two," it says, "shall be one flesh" (Gen. 2:24); for man and wife are one in nature, in accord, in union, in disposition, in life, in manner; but they are separated in form and in number. You shall not corrupt boys; for the evil that sprang from Sodom is against nature, which city became the prey of fire sent from God; and such a one is accursed, and all the people shall say: So be it. You shall not commit fornication: "For there shall not be," it says, "one who commits fornication among the sons of Israel" (Deut. 23:17). "You shall not steal"; for Achar, having stolen in Israel at Jericho, was stoned and so departed from life; and Giezi, having stolen and lied, inherited the leprosy of Naaman; and Judas, stealing what belonged to the poor, betrayed the Lord of glory to the Jews, and having repented hanged himself, and burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out; and Ananias, and Sapphira his wife, having stolen what was their own and having tempted the Spirit of the Lord, were at once put to death by the sentence of Peter our fellow apostle.

"You shall not covet what is your neighbour's, such as his wife, or his servant, or his ox, or his field" (Exod. 20:17). You shall not forswear yourself; for it was said, not to swear at all (Matt. 5:34); but if otherwise, at least swear truly; because: "Everyone who swears by Him shall be praised" (Ps. 62:12).

ΚΕΦΑΛΑΙΟΝ Δʹ. Ἀπαγόρευσις κακολογίας, μήνιδος, καὶ ἤθους ὑπούλου, ἀργολογίας, ψεύδους, πλεονεξίας, ὑποκρίσεως.
CHAPTER IV. Prohibition of evil-speaking, of rancour, and of a deceitful character, of idle talk, of lying, of covetousness, of hypocrisy.
Οὐ κακολογήσεις· « Μὴ ἀγάπα γὰρ, φησὶ, κακολογεῖν, ἵνα μὴ ἐξαρθῇς. » Οὐδὲ μνησικακήσεις· « Ὁδοὶ γὰρ μνησικάκων εἰς θάνατον. » Οὐκ ἔσῃ δίγνωμος, οὐδὲ δίγλωσσος· « Παγὶς γὰρ ἰσχυρὰ ἀνδρὶ τὰ ἴδια χείλη· » καί· « Ἀνὴρ γλωσσώδης οὐ κατευθυνθήσεται ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς. » Οὐκ ἔσται ὁ λόγος σου κενός· « Περὶ παντὸς γὰρ λόγου ἀργοῦ δώσετε λόγον. » Οὐ ψεύσῃ· « Ἀπολεῖς γὰρ, φησὶ, πάντας τοὺς λαλοῦντας τὸ ψεῦδος. » Οὐκ ἔσῃ πλεονέκτης, οὐδὲ ἅρπαξ· « Οὐαὶ γὰρ, φησὶν, ὁ πλεονεκτῶν τὸν πλησίον πλεονεξίαν κακήν. » Οὐκ ἔσῃ ὑποκριτὴς, ἵνα μὴ τὸ μέρος σου μετ' αὐτῶν θῇς.
You shall not speak evil: "For do not love," it says, "to speak evil, lest you be taken away" (Prov. 20:13). Nor shall you bear a grudge: "For the ways of those who bear grudges lead to death" (Prov. 12:28). You shall not be double-minded, nor double-tongued: "For a man's own lips are a strong snare to him" (Prov. 6:2); and: "A man full of tongue shall not be set upright upon the earth" (Ps. 139:12). Your word shall not be empty: "For of every idle word ye shall give account" (Matt. 12:36). You shall not lie: "For Thou wilt destroy," it says, "all who speak falsehood" (Ps. 5:7). You shall not be covetous, nor rapacious: "For woe," it says, "to him who covets against his neighbour an evil covetousness" (Hab. 2:9). You shall not be a hypocrite, lest you set your portion with them (Matt. 24:51).
ΚΕΦΑΛΑΙΟΝ Εʹ. Ἀπαγόρευσις κακοηθείας, προσωποληψίας, ὀργῆς, μισανθρωπίας, βασκανίας.
CHAPTER V. Prohibition of malice, of respect of persons, of anger, of hatred of men, of envy.
Οὐκ ἔσῃ κακοήθης, οὐδὲ ὑπερήφανος· « Ὑπερηφάνοις γὰρ ὁ Θεὸς ἀντιτάσσεται. » — « Οὐ λήψῃ πρόσωπον
You shall not be malicious, nor proud: "For God sets Himself against the proud" (Jas. 4:6; Prov. 3:34). "You shall not accept a person

ἐν κρίσει, ὅτι τοῦ Κυρίου ἡ κρίσις. Οὐ μισήσεις πάντα ἄνθρωπον. Ἐλεγμῷ ἐλέγξεις τὸν ἀδελφόν σου, καὶ οὐ λήψῃ δι' αὐτὸν ἁμαρτίαν· » καί· « Ἔλεγχε σοφὸν, καὶ ἀγαπήσει σε. » Φεῦγε ἀπὸ παντὸς κακοῦ, καὶ ἀπὸ παντὸς ὁμοίου αὐτῷ· « Ἄπεχε γὰρ, φησὶν, ἀπὸ ἀδίκου· καὶ τρόμος οὐκ ἐγγιεῖ σοι. » Μὴ γίνου ὀργίλος, μηδὲ βάσκανος, μηδὲ ζηλωτὴς, μηδὲ μανικὸς, μηδὲ θρασύς· μὴ πάθῃς τὰ τοῦ Κάϊν, καὶ τὰ τοῦ Σαοὺλ, καὶ τὰ τοῦ Ἰωάβ· ὅτι ὃς μὲν ἀπέκτεινε τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ τὸν Ἄβελ, διὰ τὸ πρόκριτον αὐτὸν εὑρεθῆναι παρὰ Θεῷ, καὶ διὰ τὸ προκριθῆναι τὴν θυσίαν αὐτοῦ· ὃς δὲ τὸν ὅσιον Δαβὶδ ἐδίωκε, νικήσαντα τὸν Γολιὰδ τὸν Φιλιστιαῖον, ζηλώσας ἐπὶ τῇ τῶν χορευτριῶν εὐφημίᾳ· ὃς δὲ τοὺς δύο στρατάρχας ἀνεῖλε, τὸν Ἀβεννὴρ τὸν τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ Ἀμεσσὰ τὸν τοῦ Ἰούδα.
in judgement, because the judgement is the Lord's (Deut. 1:17). You shall not hate any man. With reproof you shall reprove your brother, and shall not take sin upon you on his account" (Lev. 19:17); and: "Reprove a wise man, and he will love you" (Prov. 9:8). Flee from every evil, and from everything like it: "For keep away," it says, "from what is unjust, and trembling shall not come near you" (Isa. 54:14). Be not given to anger, nor envious, nor jealous, nor raging, nor rash, lest you suffer what befell Cain, and Saul, and Joab; because the first slew his brother Abel, since he was found to be preferred before God and since his sacrifice was preferred; and the second persecuted the holy David, who had conquered Goliad the Philistine, being jealous at the acclamation of the dancing women; and the third made away with the two commanders of armies, Abenner the commander of Israel and Amessa the commander of Judah.
ΚΕΦΑΛΑΙΟΝ Ϛʹ. Περὶ οἰωνοσκοπικῆς, ἐπαοιδῆς, κτλ.
CHAPTER VI. On augury, incantation, and the rest.
Μὴ γίνου οἰωνοσκόπος· ὅτι ὁδηγεῖ πρὸς εἰδωλολατρείαν· « Οἰώνισμα δὲ, φησὶν ὁ Σαμουὴλ, ἁμαρτία ἐστί. » Καί· « Οὐκ ἔσται οἰωνισμὸς ἐν Ἰακὼβ, οὐδὲ μαντεία ἐν Ἰσραήλ. » Οὐκ ἔσῃ ἐπᾴδων, ἢ περικαθαίρων τὸν υἱόν σου. Οὐ κλῃδονιεῖς· οὐδὲ οἰωνισθήσῃ· οὐδὲ ὀρνεοσκοπήσεις· οὐδὲ μαθήσῃ μαθήματα πονηρά· ταῦτα γὰρ ἅπαντα καὶ ὁ νόμος ἀπεῖπε. Μὴ γίνου ἐπιθυμητὴς κακῶν, ὁδηγηθήσῃ γὰρ εἰς ἀμετρίαν ἁμαρτημάτων. Οὐκ ἔσῃ αἰσχρολόγος· οὐδὲ ῥιψόφθαλμος· οὐδὲ μέθυσος· ἐκ γὰρ τούτων πορνεῖαι καὶ μοιχεῖαι γίνονται. Μὴ γίνου φιλάργυρος· ἵνα μὴ ἀντὶ Θεοῦ δουλεύσῃς τῷ μαμωνᾶ. Μὴ γίνου κενόδοξος, μηδὲ μετέωρος, μηδὲ ὑψηλόφρων⟨·⟩ ἐκ γὰρ τούτων ἁπάντων ἀλαζονεῖαι γίνονται· μνήσθητι τοῦ εἰπόντος· « Κύριε, οὐχ ὑψώθη ἡ καρδία μου· οὐδὲ ἐμετεωρίσθησαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου· οὐδὲ ἐπορεύθην ἐν μεγάλοις, οὐδὲ ἐν θαυμασίοις ὑπὲρ ἐμέ. Εἰ μὴ ἐταπεινοφρόνουν.... »
Be not an observer of omens, because it leads to idolatry: "And augury," says Samuel, "is sin" (1 Sam. 15:23). And: "There shall be no augury in Jacob, nor divination in Israel" (Num. 23:23). You shall not be one who uses charms, or who purifies your son by lustration. You shall not divine by chance utterances, nor take omens, nor watch the birds, nor learn wicked arts (Deut. 18:10–11; Lev. 19:26); for all these things the law also has forbidden. Be not one who desires evil things, for you will be led into an excess of sins. You shall not be foul of speech, nor one who casts the eyes about, nor a drunkard; for from these come fornications and adulteries. Be not a lover of money, lest you serve mammon instead of God (Matt. 6:24). Be not vainglorious, nor lifted up, nor high-minded; for from all these come arrogances. Remember him who said: "Lord, my heart was not exalted, nor were my eyes lifted up; nor did I walk in great things, nor in things too wonderful for me. If I was not humble-minded...." (Ps. 130:1–2)

ΚΕΦΑΛΑΙΟΝ Ηʹ. Περὶ μακροθυμίας, ἀκακίας, πραότητος, ὑπομονῆς.
CHAPTER VIII. On long-suffering, guilelessness, meekness, patience.
Γίνου μακρόθυμος· ὁ γὰρ τοιοῦτος, « πολὺς ἐν φρονήσει· » ἐπείπερ « ὀλιγόψυχος ἰσχυρὸς ἄφρων. » Γίνου ἐλεήμων· « Μακάριοι γὰρ οἱ ἐλεήμονες, ὅτι αὐτοὶ ἐλεηθήσονται. » Ἔσο ἄκακος, ἥσυχος, ἀγαθὸς, τρέμων τοὺς λόγους τοῦ Θεοῦ. Οὐχ ὑψώσεις σεαυτὸν, ὡς ὁ Φαρισαῖος· « Ὅτι πᾶς ὁ ὑψῶν ἑαυτὸν, ταπεινωθήσεται· » καί· « Τὸ ὑψηλὸν ἐν ἀνθρώποις, βδέλυγμα παρὰ τῷ Θεῷ. » Οὐ δώσεις τῇ ψυχῇ σου θράσος· ὅτι « θρασὺς ἀνὴρ ἐμπεσεῖται εἰς κακά. » Οὐ συμπορεύσῃ μετὰ ἀφρόνων, ἀλλὰ μετὰ σοφῶν καὶ δικαίων· « Ὁ συμπορευόμενος γὰρ σοφοῖς, σοφὸς ἔσται· ὁ δὲ συμπορευόμενος ἄφροσι, γνωσθήσεται. » Τὰ συμβαίνοντά σοι πάθη, εὐμενῶς δέχου, καὶ τὰς περιστάσεις ἀλύπως· εἰδὼς ὅτι μισθὸς παρὰ Θεοῦ σοι δοθήσεται, ὡς τῷ Ἰὼβ καὶ τῷ Λαζάρῳ.
Be long-suffering; for such a one is "great in understanding"; since "the faint-hearted man is mightily foolish" (Prov. 14:29). Be merciful: "For blessed are the merciful, because they shall obtain mercy" (Matt. 5:7). Be guileless, quiet, good, trembling at the words of God. You shall not exalt yourself, as the Pharisee did: "Because everyone who exalts himself shall be humbled" (Luke 18:14); and: "What is lofty among men is an abomination with God" (Luke 16:15). You shall not give rashness to your soul; because "a rash man shall fall into evils" (Prov. 13:17). You shall not walk with the foolish, but with the wise and the just: "For he who walks with the wise shall be wise; but he who walks with the foolish shall be known" (Prov. 13:20). The sufferings that befall you receive with good will, and your trials without grief, knowing that a reward shall be given you from God, as to Job and to Lazarus.
ΚΕΦΑΛΑΙΟΝ Θʹ. Ὅτι χρὴ τοὺς κατὰ Χριστὸν διδασκάλους, γονέων πλεῖον ἡγεῖσθαι· οἱ μὲν γὰρ τὸ εὖ εἶναι, οἱ δὲ τὸ εἶναι μόνον παρέχουσιν.
CHAPTER IX. That one must esteem teachers according to Christ more than parents; for the former bestow well-being, the latter being only.
Τὸν λαλοῦντά σοι τὸν λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ δοξάσεις· μνησθήσῃ δὲ αὐτοῦ ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτός· τιμήσεις δὲ αὐτὸν, οὐχ ὡς γενέσεως αἴτιον, ἀλλ' ὡς τοῦ εὖ εἶναί σοι πρόξενον γινόμενον· ὅπου γὰρ ἡ περὶ Θεοῦ διδασκαλία, ἐκεῖ ὁ Θεὸς πάρεστιν. Ἐκζητήσεις καθημέραν τὸ πρόσωπον τῶν ἁγίων, ἵν' ἐπαναπαύῃ τοῖς λόγοις αὐτῶν.
You shall glorify him who speaks to you the word of God, and shall remember him day and night; and you shall honour him, not as the cause of your birth, but as one who becomes for you the procurer of well-being; for where the teaching about God is, there God is present. You shall seek out daily the face of the saints, that you may rest upon their words.
ΚΕΦΑΛΑΙΟΝ Ιʹ. Ὅτι χρὴ μὴ ἀποσχίζειν τῶν ἁγίων, ἀλλ' εἰρηνεύειν μαχομένους, κρίνειν τε δικαίως, καὶ μὴ προσωποληπτεῖν.
CHAPTER X. That one must not separate from the saints, but make peace between those who contend, and judge justly, and not respect persons.
Οὐ ποιήσεις σχίσματα πρὸς τοὺς ἁγίους, μνησθεὶς τῶν Κορειτῶν. Εἰρηνεύσεις μαχομένους, ὡς Μωσῆς, συναλλάσσων εἰς φιλίαν. Κρινεῖς δικαίως· « Τοῦ γὰρ Κυρίου ἡ κρίσις. » Οὐ λήψῃ πρόσωπον ἐλέγξαι ἐπὶ παραπτώματι, ὡς Ἠλίας καὶ Μιχαίας τὸν Ἀχαὰβ, καὶ Ἀβδεμέλεχ ὁ Αἰθίοψ τὸν Σεδεκίαν, καὶ Νάθαν τὸν Δαβὶδ, καὶ Ἰωάννης τὸν Ἡρώδην.
You shall not make schisms against the saints, remembering the followers of Korah. You shall make peace between those who contend, as Moses did, reconciling them to friendship. You shall judge justly: "For the judgement is the Lord's" (Deut. 1:17). You shall not respect a person in reproving for a transgression, as Elijah and Micaiah reproved Ahab, and Abdemelech the Ethiopian Zedekiah, and Nathan David, and John Herod.
ΚΕΦΑΛΑΙΟΝ ΙΑʹ. Περὶ διψύχου, ἤτοι ὀλιγοπίστου.
CHAPTER XI. On the double-souled man, that is, the man of little faith.
Μὴ γίνου δίψυχος ἐν προσευχῇ σου, εἰ ἔσται, ἢ οὔ· λέγει γὰρ ὁ Κύριος ἐμοὶ Πέτρῳ ἐπὶ τῆς θαλάσσης·
Be not double-souled in your prayer, whether it shall be or not; for the Lord says to me, Peter, upon the sea:

Οὐκ ἀρεῖς τὴν χεῖρά σου ἀπὸ τοῦ υἱοῦ σου, ἢ ἀπὸ τῆς θυγατρός σου· ἀλλὰ ἀπὸ νεότητος διδάξεις αὐτοὺς τὸν φόβον τοῦ Θεοῦ. « Παίδευε γὰρ, φησὶ, τὸν υἱόν σου· οὕτω γὰρ ἔσται σοι εὔελπις. »
If you have, give by your hands, that you may work for the ransom of your sins: "For by alms and acts of faith sins are purged away" (Prov. 16:6). You shall not hesitate to give to the poor man, nor when giving shall you murmur; for you shall know who is the repayer of the reward. "For he who has mercy on the poor man," it says, "lends to the Lord; and according to his gift, so shall it be repaid to him" (Prov. 19:17). You shall not turn away from one who is in need. "For he who stops his ears," it says, "so as not to hear him who is in want, he too shall call, and there shall be none to hear him" (Prov. 21:13). You shall share in all things with your brother, and shall not say that they are your own; for the partaking has been prepared by God as common to all men. You shall not take away your hand from your son, or from your daughter; but from their youth you shall teach them the fear of God. "For chasten your son," it says, "for so he shall be of good hope to you" (Prov. 19:18).

You shall not give commands in bitterness of soul to your slave or your maidservant, who trust in the same God, lest they groan against you, and there be wrath upon you from God. And you, slaves, be subject to your masters, as to figures of God, with heedfulness and fear, as to the Lord, and not to men.

You shall hate all hypocrisy; and whatever is pleasing to the Lord, you shall do. You shall by no means forsake the commandments of the Lord; but you shall keep what you have received from Him, neither adding to them nor taking away from them: "For you shall not add to His words, lest He reprove you, and you become a liar" (Prov. 30:6). You shall confess your sins to the Lord your God, and shall add to them no more, that it may be well with you from the Lord your God, Who wills not the death of the sinner, but his repentance (Ezek. 18:23, 32).

ΚΕΦΑΛΑΙΟΝ ΙΗʹ. Ὅτι ἡ ἐξ ἐπιβουλῆς τοῦ ἀλλοτρίου ἐπεισαχθεῖσα ὁδὸς, ἀσεβείας καὶ παρανομίας πεπλήρωται.
CHAPTER XVIII. That the way brought in by the plotting of the alien one is filled with impiety and lawlessness.
Ἡ δὲ ὁδὸς τοῦ θανάτου ἐστὶν ἐν πράξεσιν πονηραῖς θεωρουμένη· ἐν αὐτῇ γὰρ ἄγνοια Θεοῦ, καὶ πολλῶν κακῶν καὶ θολῶν καὶ ταραχῶν ἐπεισαγωγή· δι' ὧν φόνοι, μοιχεῖαι, πορνεῖαι, ἐπιορκίαι, ἐπιθυμίαι παράνομοι, κλοπαὶ, εἰδωλολατρεῖαι, μαγεῖαι, φαρμακεῖαι, ἁρπαγαὶ, ψευδομαρτυρίαι, ὑποκρίσεις, διπλοκαρδίαι, δόλος, ὑπερηφανία, κακία, αὐθάδεια, πλεονεξία, αἰσχρολογία, ζηλοτυπία, θρασύτης, ὑψηλοφροσύνη, ἀλαζονεία, ἀφοβία, διωγμὸς ἀγαθῶν, ἀληθείας ἔχθρα, ψεύδους ἀγάπη, ἄγνοια δικαιοσύνης. Οἱ γὰρ τούτων ποιηταὶ, οὐ κολλῶνται ἀγαθῷ, οὐδὲ κρίσει †δικαίᾳ· ἀγρυπνοῦσιν, οὐκ εἰς τὸ ἀγαθὸν, ἀλλ' εἰς τὸ πονηρόν· ὧν μακρὰν πραότης καὶ ὑπομονή· μάταια ἀγαπῶντες, διώκοντες ἀνταπόδομα, οὐκ ἐλεοῦντες πτωχὸν, οὐ πονοῦντες ἐπὶ καταπονουμένῳ, οὐ γινώσκοντες τὸν ποιήσαντα αὐτοὺς, φονεῖς τέκνων, φθορεῖς πλάσματος Θεοῦ, ἀποστρεφόμενοι ἐνδεόμενον, καταπονοῦντες θλιβόμενον, πλουσίων παράκλητοι, πενήτων ὑπερόπται, πανθαμάρτητοι. Ῥυσθείητε, τέκνα, ἀπὸ τούτων ἁπάντων.
But the way of death is seen in wicked deeds; for in it are ignorance of God, and the bringing in of many evils and defilements and disturbances; through which come murders, adulteries, fornications, perjuries, unlawful desires, thefts, idolatries, magic arts, sorceries, robberies, false witnessings, hypocrisies, double-heartedness, guile, pride, malice, self-will, covetousness, foul speech, jealousy, rashness, high-mindedness, arrogance, fearlessness, persecution of the good, enmity to truth, love of falsehood, ignorance of justice. For those who do these things do not cleave to good, nor to just judgement; they keep watch, not for the good, but for the evil; far from them are meekness and patience; loving vain things, pursuing recompense, having no mercy on the poor man, not toiling for him who is worn down with toil, not knowing Him Who made them, murderers of children, corrupters of what God has fashioned, turning away from him who is in need, oppressing him who is afflicted, advocates of the rich, despisers of the poor, sinful in every way. May you be delivered, children, from all these.
ΚΕΦΑΛΑΙΟΝ ΙΘʹ. Ὅτι μὴ χρὴ τῆς εὐσεβείας ἐκκλίνειν δεξιὰ ἢ εὐώνυμα, παραινεῖ ὁ νομοθέτης.
CHAPTER XIX. That one must not turn aside from piety to the right or to the left, the lawgiver exhorts.
Ὅρα μή τίς σε πλανήσῃ ἀπὸ τῆς εὐσεβείας· « Οὐκ ἐκκλίνῃς γὰρ, φησὶν, ἀπ' αὐτῆς δεξιὰ ἢ εὐώνυμα· » ἵνα συνῇς ἐν πᾶσιν οἷς ἐὰν πράσσῃς, οὐ γὰρ ἐὰν μὴ ἐκτραπῇς ἔξω τῆς εὐθείας ὁδοῦ, δυσσεβήσεις.
See that no one lead you astray from piety: "For you shall not turn aside from it," it says, "to the right or to the left" (Deut. 5:32); that you may have understanding in all that you do; for unless you turn out of the straight way, you will not act impiously.

Πρὸ δὲ τοῦ βαπτίσματος, νηστευσάτω ὁ βαπτιζόμενος. Antiquissima consuetudo, a Justino martyre et Tertulliano, indeque a pluribus memorata ; qui ei ante baptismum jejunio assignant diem vel triduum, unam vel duas hebdomadas, quadraginta aut plures dies ; pro prudentia, videlicet, baptizantium ac fide baptizandorum, et secundum varios usus. Eo trahunt multijuga eruditione celebres viri versus Paschales Ausonii : Sancta salutiferi redeunt solemnia Christi, / Et devota pii celebrant jejunia mystae. / At nos, aeternum cohibentes pectore cultum, / Intemeratorum vim continuamus honorum ; in quibus per mystas intelligunt catechumenos, et nos post particulam adversativam, inquiunt, at, exponunt de baptizatis. Quam vere haec, aliorum esto judicium. Certe cum Paschale jejunium non solis conveniat catechumenis, nec solis sacerdotibus aut clericis, sed ad cunctos fideles pertineat ; cum mystae appellari soleant tum qui initiantur, tum initiati, tum initiatores, hoc est catechumeni, Christiani, et clerici ; cumque at non semper opponat, interdum vero affirmet, explanet, copulet, continuet, idemque sit ac verum, atque, atqui ; verisimile fit, quatuor allatos versus de fidelibus universis accipi debere, nullatenus de catechumenis, nec de clericis. Cot.

"But before the baptism, let the one being baptized fast." A most ancient custom, mentioned by Justin Martyr and Tertullian, and thereafter by many; who assign to this fast before baptism a day or three days, one or two weeks, forty or more days; according, that is, to the prudence of those baptizing and the faith of those to be baptized, and according to various usages. Men renowned for manifold learning draw to this point the Paschal verses of Ausonius: "The holy solemnities of the salvation-bringing Christ return, / and the pious initiates keep their devout fasts. / But we, holding eternal worship in our breast, / continue the force of undefiled honours"; in which by "initiates" (mystae) they understand catechumens, and "we", after what they call the adversative particle "but", they expound of the baptized. How truly, let others judge. Certainly, since the Paschal fast does not belong to catechumens alone, nor to priests or clerics alone, but pertains to all the faithful; since those who are being initiated, and the initiated, and the initiators, that is, catechumens, Christians and clerics, are all alike commonly called mystae; and since "but" (at) does not always set in opposition, but sometimes affirms, explains, couples, continues, and is the same as "indeed", "and", "and yet"; it becomes likely that the four verses adduced ought to be taken of all the faithful together, by no means of catechumens, nor of clerics.

PG 1:1012
ΚΕΦΑΛΑΙΟΝ Κʹ. Ὅτι μὴ χρὴ φαυλίζειν τι τῶν προσφόρων βρωμάτων, ἀλλ' εὐχαρίστως μεταλαμβάνειν καὶ τεταγμένως.
CHAPTER XX. That one ought not to disparage any of the foods that are suitable, but to partake of them thankfully and in due order.
Περὶ δὲ βρωμάτων λέγει σοι ὁ Κύριος· «Τὰ ἀγαθὰ τῆς γῆς φάγεσθε·» καί· «Πᾶν κρέας ἔδεσθε, ὡς λάχανα χλόης· τὸ δὲ αἷμα ἐκχεεῖς· οὐ γὰρ τὰ εἰσερχόμενα εἰς τὸ στόμα κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον, ἀλλὰ τὰ ἐκπορευόμενα·» λέγω δὴ, βλασφημίαι, καταλαλιαὶ, καὶ εἴ τι τοιοῦτον. Σὺ δὲ φάγῃ τὸν μυελὸν τῆς γῆς μετὰ δικαιοσύνης· «Ὅτι εἴ τι καλὸν, αὐτοῦ· καὶ εἴ τι ἀγαθὸν, αὐτοῦ· σῖτος νεανίσκοις, καὶ οἶνος εὐωδιάζων παρθένοις· τίς γὰρ φάγεται, ἢ τίς πίεται, παρὲξ αὐτοῦ;» Παραινεῖ δέ σοι καὶ ὁ σοφὸς Ἔσδρας, λέγων· «Πορεύεσθε, καὶ φάγετε λιπάσματα, καὶ πίετε γλυκάσματα, καὶ μὴ λυπεῖσθε.»
Now concerning foods the Lord says to you: "You shall eat the good things of the earth" (Isa. 1:19); and: "You shall eat all flesh, as herbs of the field; but the blood you shall pour out (Gen. 9:3; Deut. 15:23); for it is not the things that go into the mouth that defile the man, but the things that come out" (Matt. 15:11); I mean, namely, blasphemies, slanders, and whatever is of that kind (Mark 7:22). But you shall eat the marrow of the earth with righteousness (Gen. 45:18): "For if anything is fair, it is His; and if anything is good, it is His: corn for the young men, and fragrant wine for the virgins (Zech. 9:17); for who shall eat, or who shall drink, apart from Him?" (Eccl. 2:25) And the wise Ezra also exhorts you, saying: "Go, and eat fat things, and drink sweet things, and do not be grieved" (Neh. 8:10).
ΚΕΦΑΛΑΙΟΝ ΚΑʹ. Ὅτι χρὴ φεύγειν τὴν τῶν εἰδωλοθύτων βρῶσιν.
CHAPTER XXI. That one ought to flee the eating of things sacrificed to idols.
Ἀπὸ δὲ τῶν εἰδωλοθύτων φεύγετε· ἐπὶ τιμῇ γὰρ δαιμόνων θύουσι ταῦτα· ἐφ' ὕβρει δηλαδὴ τοῦ μόνου Θεοῦ· ὅπως μὴ γένησθε κοινωνοὶ δαιμόνων.
But flee from things sacrificed to idols; for they sacrifice these in honour of demons, that is to say, to the insult of the only God; so that you may not become partakers with demons (1 Cor. 10:20).
ΚΕΦΑΛΑΙΟΝ ΚΒʹ Διάταξις Κυριακὴ, ὅπως χρὴ βαπτίζειν, καὶ εἰς τὸν τίνος θάνατον.
CHAPTER XXII. An ordinance of the Lord, how one ought to baptize, and into whose death.
Περὶ δὲ βαπτίσματος, ὦ ἐπίσκοπε ἢ πρεσβύτερε, ἤδη μὲν καὶ πρότερον διεταξάμεθα· καὶ νῦν δέ φαμεν, ὅτι οὕτω βαπτίσεις, ὡς ὁ Κύριος διετάξατο ἡμῖν, λέγων· «Πορευθέντες μαθητεύσατε πάντα τὰ ἔθνη· βαπτίζοντες αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Πατρὸς, καὶ τοῦ Υἱοῦ, καὶ τοῦ ἁγίου Πνεύματος· διδάσκοντες αὐτοὺς τηρεῖν πάντα ὅσα ἐνετειλάμην ὑμῖν·» τοῦ ἀποστείλαντος Πατρός· τοῦ ἐλθόντος Χριστοῦ· τοῦ μαρτυρήσαντος Παρακλήτου. Χρίσεις δὲ πρῶτον ἐλαίῳ· ἔπειτα βαπτίσεις ὕδατι, καὶ τελευταῖον σφραγίσεις μύρῳ· ἵνα τὸ μὲν χρίσμα μετοχὴ ᾖ τοῦ ἁγίου Πνεύματος, τὸ δὲ ὕδωρ σύμβολον τοῦ θανάτου, τὸ δὲ μύρον σφραγὶς τῶν συνθηκῶν. Εἰ δὲ μήτε ἔλαιον ᾖ, μήτε μύρον, ἀρκεῖ ὕδωρ, καὶ πρὸς χρίσιν, καὶ πρὸς σφραγῖδα, καὶ πρὸς ὁμολογίαν τοῦ ἀποθανόντος, ἤτοι συναποθνήσκοντος. Πρὸ δὲ τοῦ βαπτίσματος, νηστευσάτω ὁ βαπτιζόμενος
Now concerning baptism, O bishop or presbyter, we have indeed already given ordinance before; and now also we say that you shall baptize thus, as the Lord ordained for us, saying: "Go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit; teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you" (Matt. 28:19–20): of the Father Who sent; of the Christ Who came; of the Paraclete Who bore witness. And you shall first anoint with oil; then you shall baptize with water, and last you shall seal with ointment; so that the anointing may be a participation of the Holy Spirit, and the water a symbol of the death, and the ointment a seal of the covenants. But if there be neither oil nor ointment, water suffices, both for anointing, and for seal, and for the confession of Him Who died, or rather of him who dies with Him. And before the baptism, let the one being baptized fast

καὶ γὰρ ὁ Κύριος πρῶτον βαπτισθεὶς ὑπὸ Ἰωάννου, καὶ εἰς τὴν ἔρημον αὐλισθεὶς μετέπειτα ἐνήστευσε τεσσαράκοντα ἡμέρας καὶ τεσσαράκοντα νύκτας· ἐβαπτίσθη δὲ καὶ ἐνήστευσεν· οὐκ αὐτὸς ἀπορυπώσεως, ἢ νηστείας χρείαν ἔχων, ἢ καθάρσεως, ὁ τῇ φύσει καθαρὸς καὶ ἅγιος· ἀλλ' ἵνα καὶ Ἰωάννῃ ἀλήθειαν προσμαρτυρήσῃ, καὶ ἡμῖν ὑπογραμμὸν παράσχηται. Οὐκοῦν ὁ μὲν Κύριος, οὐκ εἰς ἑαυτοῦ πάθος ἐβαπτίσατο, ἢ θάνατον, ἢ ἀνάστασιν· οὐδέπω γὰρ οὐδὲν τούτων ἐγεγόνει· ἀλλ' εἰς διάταξιν ἑτέραν. Διὸ καὶ ἀπ' ἐξουσίας μετὰ τὸ βάπτισμα νηστεύει, ὡς Κύριος Ἰωάννου· ὁ δὲ εἰς τὸν αὐτοῦ θάνατον μυούμενος, πρότερον ὀφείλει νηστεῦσαι, καὶ τότε βαπτίσασθαι. Οὐ γὰρ δίκαιον τὸν συνταφέντα καὶ συναναστάντα, παρ' αὐτὴν τὴν ἀνάστασιν κατηφεῖν· οὐ γὰρ κύριος ὁ ἄνθρωπος τῆς διατάξεως τῆς τοῦ Σωτῆρος· ἐπείπερ ὁ μὲν Δεσπότης, ὁ δὲ ὑπήκοος.
for the Lord also, having first been baptized by John and having lodged in the wilderness, afterwards fasted forty days and forty nights (Matt. 3; 4); and He was baptized and fasted, not as Himself having need of cleansing from filth, or of fasting, or of purification, He Who is by nature pure and holy, but in order that He might both bear witness of the truth to John and furnish an example for us. Therefore the Lord was not baptized into His own passion, or death, or resurrection, for none of these had yet come to pass, but for another ordinance. Hence also it is by authority that He fasts after the baptism, as being Lord of John; but he who is being initiated into His death ought first to fast, and then to be baptized. For it is not right that one who has been buried with Him and raised with Him should be downcast at the very resurrection; for the man is not lord of the Saviour's ordinance, since the One is Master, and the other is subject.

XVIII, 12 : Jejuno bis in Sabbato ; Nicetas in Matth iii, 7. Sed et Manichaeos 2 feria in honorem Lunae jejunasse constat testimonio Leonis PP. serm. 4 De Quadragesima, cap. 5. Paganos autem 5 feria celebrasse jejunium dicitur in Vita Melchiadis. Hos ergo duos dies esuriales non habebant Christiani catholici, praecipue postremum, quo Christus Dominus Eucharistiae instituit sacramentum, atque in coelum ascendit. Unde a multis tempore Quadragesimae feria quinta jejunium solvebatur ; a multis servabatur jejunium perpetuum, exceptis quinta Sabbati et die Dominico. Cot.

"For they fast on the second day of the week and on the fifth." To fast on the second and fifth of the week, the second and fifth feria, or Monday and Thursday, is the Pharisaic and Jewish fast, of which the Rabbis often speak: among our own writers Epiphanius, heresy 16, which is that of the Pharisees, chapter 1; Theophylact on the text of Luke 18:12, "I fast twice in the week"; Nicetas on Matthew 3:7. But that the Manichees too fasted on the second feria in honour of the Moon is established by the testimony of Pope Leo, sermon 4 On Lent, chapter 5. And the pagans are said in the Life of Melchiades to have kept a fast on the fifth feria. These two days, then, Catholic Christians did not hold as fasting days, especially the latter, on which Christ the Lord instituted the sacrament of the Eucharist and ascended into heaven. Hence by many in the season of Lent the fast was broken on Thursday; by many a continual fast was kept, except on the fifth day of the week and on the Lord's day. Cotelier.

"Fast the five days." St. Basil elegantly calls this fast of five days πενθημέρους σπονδάς, "a truce of five days". And Blessed Augustine, letter 86 to Casulanus, testifies that many, monks especially, fasted throughout their whole life five times in the week, and always, the Sabbath and the Lord's day excepted; which may also be read in Cassian, book 3 On the Institutes of the Coenobia, chapter 9. After this was published, when I had come upon a passage in Chrysostom, in the Greek or Savile edition, vol. V, p. 821, and read in it at lines 14, 15 πενθημέρους σπονδάς, I at once supposed it to be an imitation of Basil; but when the matter was examined, and that royal manuscript numbered 1010 was seen, I found that the beginning of that homily 126, On the Venerable Cross, from p. 819 down to the word ἐδέσματα, lines 16, 17, p. 820, is the opening of the Oration of Joseph of Thessalonica, which Gretser published in vol. II of his work On the Cross; that what follows ἐδέσματα, namely πᾶσιν ὁμοίως ἐπιτρέπει, etc., down to νηφαλίου, p. 821, line 10, belongs to Basil's second homily On Fasting, where it stands in the Paris edition of the year 1638, vol. I, from page 291 B, 7, 8, to p. 292 D, 8, 9; and that what comes after νηφαλίου, namely τῶν πεμμάτων, etc., down to κολάζουσά σε, p. 822, line 43, is likewise Basil's homily 1 On Fasting, p. 281 D, 11, etc., down to p. 284 D, 4; and that the rest, finally, τοῦ εὑρεῖν, etc., closes the narrative On the Holy Images and the Feast of Orthodoxy, in Combefis's Auctarium, vol. II, p. 742 E, 4, etc. The same.

Unde ejici debet e Theodoro edito inconcinnum plane illud, τεθεαμένον. Sequitur in Constitutione : ὅπερ νηστεύειν προσῆκεν, ἀλλ' οὐχ ἑορτάζειν, quod inepte et contra fidem mss.

"That of the Lord's burial." So Balsamon had expressed it on Trullan canon 89: "Because at that time his deified body" (Christ's, that is) "lay in the tomb," the sense agreeing with the handwritten codices for this reading. Hence that plainly ill-fitting τεθεαμένον ("beheld") ought to be cast out of the printed Theodore. There follows in the Constitution: "on which it was fitting to fast, but not to keep festival", which they have absurdly, and against the witness of the Royal manuscripts, added to the passage of Eusebius in Anastasius's question 65, p. 450, lines 6, 7.

when Judas promised the betrayal for money; and the Preparation, because on it the Lord suffered the passion of the cross, under Pontius Pilate. The Sabbath, however, and the Lord's day keep as feasts, because the one is a memorial of the creation, and the other of the resurrection; but one Sabbath only is to be observed by you in the whole year, that of the Lord's burial, on which it was fitting to fast, and not to keep feast; for as long as the Creator is under the earth, the mourning for Him is stronger than the joy over the creation; because the Creator is more to be honoured, both in nature and in dignity, than His own creatures.
ΚΕΦΑΛΑΙΟΝ ΚΔʹ. Οἵους εἶναι χρὴ τοὺς προσευχομένους τὴν ὑπὸ τοῦ Κυρίου δοθεῖσαν προσευχήν.
CHAPTER XXIV. What sort of persons they ought to be who pray the prayer given by the Lord.
Ὅταν δὲ προσεύχησθε, μὴ γίνεσθε ὡς οἱ ὑποκριταί· ἀλλ' ὡς ὁ Κύριος ἡμῖν ἐν τῷ Εὐαγγελίῳ διετάξατο, οὕτω προσεύχεσθε· «Πάτερ ἡμῶν, ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς, ἁγιασθήτω τὸ ὄνομά σου· ἐλθέτω ἡ βασιλεία σου· γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά σου, ὡς ἐν οὐρανῷ, καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς· τὸν ἄρτον ἡμῶν τὸν ἐπιούσιον δὸς ἡμῖν σήμερον· καὶ ἄφες ἡμῖν τὰ ὀφειλήματα ἡμῶν, ὡς καὶ ἡμεῖς ἀφίεμεν τοῖς ὀφειλέταις ἡμῶν· καὶ μὴ εἰσενέγκῃς ἡμᾶς εἰς πειρασμὸν, ἀλλὰ ῥῦσαι ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τοῦ πονηροῦ· ὅτι σοῦ ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία, εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας. Ἀμήν.» Τρὶς τῆς ἡμέρας οὕτω προσεύχεσθε, προπαρασκευάζοντες ἑαυτοὺς ἀξίους τῆς υἱοθεσίας τοῦ Πατρὸς, ἵνα μὴ ἀναξίως ὑμῶν αὐτὸν Πατέρα καλούντων, ὀνειδισθῆτε ὑπ' αὐτοῦ· ὡς καὶ ὁ Ἰσραὴλ ὁπότε πρωτότοκος υἱὸς ἤκουσεν, ὅτι· «Εἰ πατήρ εἰμι ἐγὼ, ποῦ ἐστιν ἡ δόξα μου; καὶ εἰ κύριός εἰμι, ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ φόβος μου;» δόξα γὰρ πατέρων, ὁσιότης παίδων, καὶ τιμὴ δεσποτῶν, οἰκετῶν φόβος· ὥσπερ οὖν τὸ ἐναντίον ἀδοξία καὶ ἀναρχία. «Δι' ὑμᾶς γὰρ, φησὶ, τὸ ὄνομά μου βλασφημεῖται ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι.»
And when you pray, do not be as the hypocrites; but as the Lord ordained for us in the Gospel, so pray: "Our Father, Who art in the heavens, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done, as in heaven, also on the earth; give us today our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors; and bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one; for Thine is the kingdom, unto the ages. Amen" (Matt. 6:9–13). Pray thus three times a day, preparing yourselves beforehand to be worthy of the adoption of the Father, lest, when you call Him Father unworthily, you be reproached by Him; as Israel also, once the firstborn son, heard: "If I am a father, where is My glory? And if I am a lord, where is My fear?" (Mal. 1:6) For the glory of fathers is the holiness of their children, and the honour of masters is the fear of their household servants; just as, then, the contrary is dishonour and the absence of rule. "For because of you," it says, "My name is blasphemed among the nations" (Isa. 52:5).

ζωῆς ἧς ἐγνώρισας ἡμῖν διὰ Ἰησοῦ τοῦ Παιδός σου· δι' οὗ καὶ τὰ πάντα ἐποίησας, καὶ τῶν ὅλων προνοεῖς· ὃν καὶ ἀπέστειλας περὶ σωτηρίᾳ τῇ ἡμετέρᾳ γενέσθαι ἄνθρωπον· ὃν καὶ συνεχώρησας παθεῖν καὶ ἀποθανεῖν· ὃν καὶ ἀναστήσας εὐδόκησας δοξάσαι, καὶ ἐκάθισας ἐκ δεξιῶν σου· δι' οὗ καὶ ἐπηγγείλω ἡμῖν τὴν ἀνάστασιν τῶν νεκρῶν. Σὺ, Δέσποτα παντόκρατορ, Θεὲ αἰώνιε· ὥσπερ ἦν τοῦτο διεσκορπισμένον, καὶ συναχθὲν ἐγένετο εἷς ἄρτος, οὕτω συνάγαγέ σου τὴν Ἐκκλησίαν ἀπὸ τῶν περάτων τῆς γῆς εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν. Ἔτι εὐχαριστοῦμεν, Πάτερ ἡμῶν, ὑπὲρ τοῦ τιμίου αἵματος Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τοῦ ἐκχυθέντος ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν· καὶ τοῦ τιμίου σώματος· οὗ καὶ ἀντίτυπα ταῦτα ἐπιτελοῦμεν, αὐτοῦ διαταξαμένου ἡμῖν καταγγέλλειν τὸν αὐτοῦ θάνατον· δι' αὐτοῦ γάρ σοι καὶ ἡ δόξα, εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας. Ἀμήν. Μηδεὶς δὲ ἐσθιέτω ἐξ αὐτῶν, τῶν ἀμυήτων· ἀλλὰ μόνοι οἱ βεβαπτισμένοι εἰς τὸν τοῦ Κυρίου θάνατον. Εἰ δέ τις ἀμύητος κρύψας ἑαυτὸν μεταλάβῃ, κρῖμα αἰώνιον φάγεται· ὅτι μὴ ὢν τῆς εἰς Χριστὸν πίστεως, μετέλαβεν ὧν οὐ θέμις, εἰς τιμωρίαν ἑαυτοῦ. Εἰ δέ τις κατὰ ἄγνοιαν μεταλάβοι, τοῦτον τάχιον στοιχειώσαντες μυήσατε, ὅπως μὴ καταφρονητὴς ἐξέλθοι.
the life which Thou hast made known to us through Jesus Thy Servant; through Whom also Thou didst make all things, and dost provide for the whole; Whom also Thou didst send to become man for our salvation; Whom also Thou didst permit to suffer and to die; Whom also, having raised Him up, Thou wast pleased to glorify, and didst seat at Thy right hand; through Whom also Thou hast promised us the resurrection of the dead. Thou, Master almighty, eternal God: as this was scattered, and being gathered together became one bread, so gather Thy Church from the ends of the earth into the kingdom. Further we give thanks, our Father, for the precious blood of Jesus Christ which was poured out for us, and for the precious body; of which also we celebrate these antitypes, He Himself having ordained for us to proclaim His death (1 Cor. 11:26); for through Him is the glory also to Thee, unto the ages. Amen. But let no one of the uninitiated eat of them, but only those who have been baptized into the death of the Lord. And if anyone uninitiated, concealing himself, should partake, he will eat eternal judgement (1 Cor. 11:29); because, not being of the faith in Christ, he has partaken of what is not lawful for him, to his own punishment. But if anyone should partake in ignorance, instruct him quickly in the elements and initiate him, so that he may not go out a despiser.

Μετὰ δὲ τὴν μετάληψιν, οὕτως εὐχαριστήσατε· Εὐχαριστοῦμέν σοι, ὁ Θεὸς καὶ Πατὴρ Ἰησοῦ τοῦ Σωτῆρος ἡμῶν, ὑπὲρ τοῦ ἁγίου ὀνόματός σου, οὗ κατεσκήνωσας ἐν ἡμῖν· καὶ ὑπὲρ τῆς γνώσεως, καὶ πίστεως, καὶ ἀγάπης, καὶ ἀθανασίας· ἧς ἔδωκας ἡμῖν διὰ Ἰησο⟨ῦ⟩ τοῦ Παιδός σου. Σὺ, Δέσποτα παντόκρατορ, ὁ Θεὸς τῶν ὅλων, ἔκτισας τὸν κόσμον, καὶ τὰ ἐν αὐτῷ, δι' αὐτοῦ· καὶ νόμον κατεφύτευσας ἐν ταῖς ψυχαῖς ἡμῶν· καὶ τὰ πρὸς μετάληψιν προευτρέπισας ἀνθρώποις. Ὁ Θεὸς τῶν ἁγίων καὶ ἀμέμπτων πατέρων ἡμῶν, Ἀβραὰμ, καὶ Ἰσαὰκ, καὶ Ἰακὼβ, τῶν πιστῶν δούλων σου. Ὁ δυνατὸς Θεὸς, ὁ πιστὸς καὶ ἀληθινὸς, καὶ ἀψευδὴς ἐν ταῖς ἐπαγγελίαις· ὁ ἀποστείλας ἐπὶ γῆς Ἰησοῦν τὸν Χριστόν σου, ἀνθρώποις συναναστραφῆναι ὡς ἄνθρωπον, Θεὸν ὄντα Λόγον καὶ ἄνθρωπον, καὶ τὴν πλάνην πρόῤῥιζον ἀνελεῖν. Αὐτὸς καὶ νῦν δι' αὐτοῦ μνήσθητι τῆς ἁγίας σου Ἐκκλησίας ταύτης, ἣν περιεποιήσω τῷ τιμίῳ αἵματι
And after the partaking, give thanks thus: We give thanks to Thee, O God and Father of Jesus our Saviour, for Thy holy name, which Thou hast made to dwell in us; and for the knowledge, and faith, and love, and immortality, which Thou hast given us through Jesus Thy Servant. Thou, Master almighty, the God of the whole, didst create the world and the things in it through Him; and didst plant a law in our souls; and didst prepare beforehand for men the things for their partaking. The God of our holy and blameless fathers, Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, Thy faithful servants. The mighty God, the faithful and true, and without falsehood in Thy promises; Who didst send upon earth Jesus Thy Christ, to live among men as man, being God the Word and man, and to take away error by the roots. Do Thou Thyself even now through Him remember this Thy holy Church, which Thou hast acquired with the precious blood

Εἰ δέ τις κατὰ ἄγνοιαν μεταλάβοι. In Responsis canonicis Timothei Alexandrini ad interrogationes ipsi per episcopos et clericos propositas cap. 1, apud Balsamonem, p. 1059, ad interrogationem Quid agendum sit, si puer catechumenus, aut homo adultus, dum oblatio fieret, opportune adfuerit, ejusque nescius factus sit particeps, respondetur baptizandum eum esse, utpote a Deo vocatum. Sed cum ratione Constitutoris ne contemptor exeat, congruit canon 57 synodi Toletanae iv, quo decernitur ut Judaei qui per vim baptizati fuerant, aliisque sacramentis donati, Christianam religionem retinere cogantur, ne nomen divinum blasphemetur, et fides quam susceperunt vilis ac contemptibilis habeatur. Cot.

"But if anyone should partake in ignorance." In the Canonical Answers of Timothy of Alexandria to the questions put to him by bishops and clerics, chapter 1, in Balsamon, p. 1059, to the question "What is to be done if a catechumen boy, or a grown man, has happened to be present while the oblation was being made, and has unknowingly become a partaker of it," the answer is given that he is to be baptized, as one called by God. But with the reason given by the author of the Constitutions, "lest he go out a despiser", there agrees canon 57 of the fourth synod of Toledo, by which it is decreed that Jews who had been baptized by force, and endowed with the other sacraments, should be compelled to keep the Christian religion, "lest the divine name be blasphemed, and the faith which they have received be held cheap and contemptible".

Αὕτη μαραναθά. Hoc est, Regnum Dei, Dominus noster venit, aut si vis, veniet, vel veniat. Cot. — Est in cod. Vind. αὐτήν, quod vitiosum ; sed nec vulgatae Lectionis sensus placet, qualem comminiscitur Cotelerius. Vox Syriaca מרנאתא aut duae מרן אתא Dominus venit, adhibebatur in anathematibus, quibus poenae delinquentis ad Deum referebantur. Vide I Cor. XVI, 22, et quae ad eum locum interpretes. Non potest dici περὶ τῆς Θεοῦ βασιλείας quod hic habetur αὕτη μαραναθά, haec venit Dominus. Apostoli veri sic non essent locuti, qui noverant vocis significatum et usum ; sed homo Graecus, quisquis fuerit, perperam loquentes eos induxit. Cler.

"This, Maranatha." That is, "The kingdom of God; our Lord has come", or if you prefer, "will come", or "may he come". Cotelier. — In the Vienna codex there is αὐτήν, which is faulty; but neither does the sense of the common reading please, such as Cotelier devises. The Syriac word מרנאתא, or the two words מרן אתא, "the Lord comes", was used in anathemas, by which the punishment of the offender was referred to God. See 1 Corinthians 16:22, and what the commentators say on that place. What stands here, αὕτη μαραναθά, "this, the Lord comes", cannot be said of the kingdom of God. True Apostles would not have spoken so, who knew the meaning and use of the word; but some Greek, whoever he was, has brought them in speaking amiss. Clericus.

Περὶ δὲ τοῦ μύρου οὕτως εὐχαριστήσατε· Εὐχαριστοῦμέν σοι, Θεὲ δημιουργὲ τῶν ὅλων, καὶ ὑπὲρ τῆς εὐωδίας τοῦ μύρου, καὶ ὑπὲρ τοῦ ἀθανάτου αἰῶνος, οὗ ἐγνώρισας ἡμῖν διὰ Ἰησοῦ τοῦ Παιδός σου. Ὅτι σοῦ ἐστιν ἡ δόξα, καὶ ἡ δύναμις, εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας. Ἀμήν. Ὃς ἐὰν ἐλθὼν οὕτως εὐχαριστῇ, προσδέξασθε αὐτὸν ὡς Χριστοῦ μαθητήν· ἐὰν δὲ ἄλλην διδαχὴν κηρύσσῃ, παρ' ἣν ὑμῖν παρέδωκεν ὁ Χριστὸς δι' ἡμῶν, τῷ τοιούτῳ μὴ συγχωρεῖτε εὐχαριστεῖν· ὑβρίζει γὰρ ὁ τοιοῦτος τὸν Θεὸν, ἤπερ δοξάζει.
And concerning the ointment give thanks thus: We give thanks to Thee, O God, Maker of all things, both for the fragrance of the ointment and for the immortal age which Thou hast made known to us through Jesus Thy Servant. For Thine is the glory and the power for ever. Amen. Whoever comes and gives thanks in this way, receive him as a disciple of Christ; but if he proclaims another teaching, beside that which Christ delivered to you through us, do not allow such a one to give thanks; for such a one insults God rather than glorifies Him.

Ἐλθόντι μέντοι τῷ διδασκάλῳ, ἐκ ψυχῆς ἐπιχορηγήσατε τὰ δέοντα· τῷ δὲ ψευδοδιδασκάλῳ δώσετε μὲν τὰ πρὸς χρείαν, οὐ παραδέξεσθε δὲ αὐτοῦ τὴν πλάνην· οὔτε μὴν συμπροσεύξησθε αὐτῷ, ἵνα μὴ συμμιανθῆτε αὐτῷ· πᾶς προφήτης ἀληθινὸς, ἢ διδάσκαλος, ἐρχόμενος πρὸς ὑμᾶς, ἄξιός ἐστι τῆς τροφῆς, ὡς ἐργάτης λόγου δικαιοσύνης.
And let everyone who comes to you be received only after he has been tested; for you have understanding, and are able to know right from left, and to distinguish false teachers from teachers. When the teacher has come, however, supply him from the heart with what is needful; but to the false teacher you shall indeed give what serves his need, yet you shall not accept his error; nor indeed shall you pray together with him, lest you be defiled together with him. Every true prophet or teacher who comes to you is worthy of his food, as a labourer in the word of righteousness.

On the day of the Lord's resurrection, the Lord's day we mean, come together without fail, giving thanks to God, and making confession of the benefits which God has bestowed on you through Christ, having delivered you from ignorance, error and bonds; that your sacrifice may be blameless and acceptable to God, Who said concerning His universal Church: "In every place incense shall be offered to Me, and a pure sacrifice; for I am a great King, says the Lord Almighty, and My name is wonderful among the nations."

Ὑμεῖς δὲ τιμᾶτε τούτους ὡς πατέρας, ὡς κυρίους, ὡς εὐεργέτας, ὡς τοῦ εὖ εἶναι αἰτίους. Ἐλέγχετε δὲ ἀλλήλους, μὴ ἐν ὀργῇ, ἀλλ' ἐν μακροθυμίᾳ, μετὰ χρηστότητος καὶ εἰρήνης. Πάντα τὰ προστεταγμένα ὑμῖν ὑπὸ τοῦ Κυρίου φυλάξατε. Γρηγορεῖτε ὑπὲρ τῆς ζωῆς ὑμῶν. « Ἔστωσαν αἱ ὀσφύες ὑμῶν περιεζωσμέναι, καὶ οἱ λύχνοι καιόμενοι· καὶ ὑμεῖς ὅμοιοι ἀνθρώποις προσδεχομένοις τὸν κύριον ἑαυτῶν, πότε ἥξει, ἑσπέρας ἢ πρωῒ, ἀλεκτοροφωνίας ἢ μεσονυκτίου· ᾗ γὰρ ὥρᾳ οὐ προσδοκῶσιν, ἐλεύσεται ὁ Κύριος· καὶ ἐὰν αὐτῷ ἀνοίξωσι, μακάριοι οἱ δοῦλοι ἐκεῖνοι, ὅτι εὑρέθησαν γρηγοροῦντες· ὅτι περιζώσεται, καὶ ἀνακλινεῖ αὐτοὺς, καὶ παρελθὼν διακονήσει αὐτοῖς. » Νήφετε οὖν, καὶ προσεύχεσθε μὴ ὑπνῶσαι εἰς θάνατον· οὐ γὰρ ὀνήσει ὑμᾶς τὰ πρότερα κατορθώματα, ἐὰν εἰς τὰ ἔσχατα ὑμῶν ἀποπλανηθῆτε τῆς πίστεως τῆς ἀληθοῦς.
And appoint bishops worthy of the Lord, and presbyters and deacons, men who are pious, just, meek, free from the love of money, lovers of truth, approved, holy, no respecters of persons, able to teach the word of piety, rightly dividing in the doctrines of the Lord. And honour these as fathers, as lords, as benefactors, as the causes of your well-being. And reprove one another, not in anger but in long-suffering, with kindness and peace. Keep all the things commanded you by the Lord. Be watchful for your life. "Let your loins be girded about and your lamps burning; and be like men who wait for their own lord, when he will come, at evening or in the morning, at cock-crow or at midnight; for at the hour when they do not expect, the Lord will come; and if they open to Him, blessed are those servants, because they were found watching; for He will gird Himself and make them recline, and will come forward and serve them." Be sober, therefore, and pray that you may not sleep unto death; for your former good deeds will not profit you, if in your last days you wander away from the true faith.

CHAPTER XXXII. A prediction concerning things to come.
Ἐν γὰρ ταῖς ἐσχάταις ἡμέραις πληθυνθήσονται οἱ ψευδοπροφῆται καὶ οἱ φθορεῖς τοῦ λόγου· καὶ στραφήσονται πρόβατα εἰς λύκους καὶ ἡ ἀγάπη εἰς μῖσος· πληθυνθείσης γὰρ τῆς ἀνομίας, ψυγήσεται ἡ ἀγάπη τῶν πολλῶν· μισήσουσι γὰρ ἀλλήλους οἱ ἄνθρωποι, καὶ διώξουσι, καὶ προδώσουσι. Καὶ τότε
For in the last days the false prophets and the corrupters of the word will be multiplied; and sheep will be turned into wolves, and love into hatred; for when lawlessness has been multiplied, the love of the many will grow cold; for men will hate one another, and persecute, and betray. And then

φανήσεται ὁ κοσμοπλάνος, ὁ τῆς ἀληθείας ἐχθρὸς, ὁ τοῦ ψεύδους προστάτης· ὃν ὁ Κύριος Ἰησοῦς ἀνελεῖ τῷ πνεύματι τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ, ὁ διὰ χειλέων ἀναιρῶν ἀσεβῆ. Καὶ πολλοὶ σκανδαλισθήσονται ἐπ' αὐτῷ· οἱ δὲ ὑπομείναντες εἰς τέλος, οὗτοι σωθήσονται. Καὶ τότε φανήσεται τὸ σημεῖον τοῦ Υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ· εἶτα φωνὴ σάλπιγγος ἔσται δι' ἀρχαγγέλου· καὶ μεταξὺ ἀναβίωσις τῶν κεκοιμημένων· καὶ τότε ἥξει ὁ Κύριος, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἅγιοι μετ' αὐτοῦ, ἐν συσσεισμῷ, ἐπάνω τῶν νεφελῶν, μετ' ἀγγέλων δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ, ἐπὶ θρόνου βασιλείας, κατακρῖναι τὸν κοσμοπλάνον διάβολον, καὶ ἀποδοῦναι ⟨ἑ⟩κάστῳ κατὰ πρᾶξιν αὐτοῦ. Τότε ἀπελεύσονται οἱ μὲν πονηροὶ, εἰς αἰώνιον κόλασιν· οἱ δὲ δίκαιοι πορεύσονται εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον, κληρονομοῦντες ἐκεῖνα « ἃ ὀφθαλμὸς οὐκ εἶδε, καὶ οὖς οὐκ ἤκουσε, καὶ ἐπὶ καρδίαν ἀνθρώπου οὐκ ἀνέβη, ἃ ἡτοίμασεν ὁ Θεὸς τοῖς ἀγαπῶσιν αὐτόν· » καὶ χαρήσονται ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ Θεοῦ, τῇ ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ.

will appear the deceiver of the world, the enemy of the truth, the champion of the lie; whom the Lord Jesus will destroy with the breath of His mouth, He Who through His lips destroys the ungodly. And many will be made to stumble at him; but those who have endured to the end, these will be saved. And then will appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; then there will be the sound of a trumpet through an archangel; and meanwhile a coming to life again of those who have fallen asleep; and then the Lord will come, and all the saints with Him, with a great shaking, above the clouds, with the angels of His power, upon the throne of the kingdom, to condemn the devil, the deceiver of the world, and to render to each according to his deed. Then the wicked will go away into everlasting punishment; but the righteous will go into life everlasting, inheriting those things "which eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, and which have not come up into the heart of man, which God has prepared for those who love Him"; and they will rejoice in the kingdom of God, which is in Christ Jesus. Having been deemed worthy, then, of so great good things from Him, let us become His suppliants, calling upon Him with continual entreaty, and saying:

Father of the blameless, Hearer of those who call upon Thee with uprightness, Who knowest even petitions that are kept in silence; for Thy providence reaches as far as the inward parts of men, and through conscience Thou searchest the mind of each. And in every region of the inhabited world the incense that comes through prayer and words is sent up to Thee. Thou Who hast set up the present age as a racecourse of righteousness, and hast opened to all a gate of mercy; and hast shown to each of men, through implanted knowledge and natural judgement, and from the prompting of the law, that the possession of wealth is not everlasting, that the beauty of comeliness is not ever-flowing; that the strength of power is easily dissolved; and that all things together are vapour and vanity, while only the guileless conscience of faith passes through, through the midst of the heavens with truth

Ἐξ ὑπαρχῆς γὰρ, τοῦ προπάτορος ἡμῶν Ἀβραὰμ †μεταπονουμένου τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς ἀληθείας, ὁραματισμῷ ὡδήγησας, διδάξας, ὅ τι ποτέ ἐστιν ὁ αἰὼν οὗτος· καὶ τῆς μὲν πίστεως αὐτοῦ προώδευσεν ἡ γνῶσις, τῆς δὲ γνώσεως ἀκόλουθος γέγονεν ἡ πίστις, τῆς δὲ πίστεως ἦν ἐπακολούθημα ἡ συνθήκη· εἶπας γάρ· « Ποιήσω τὸ σπέρμα σου ὡς τοὺς ἀστέρας τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ὡς τὴν ἄμμον τὴν παρὰ τὸ χεῖλος τῆς θαλάσσης. » Ἀλλὰ μὴν καὶ τὸν Ἰσαὰκ αὐτῷ δωρησάμενος, καὶ ὅμοιον αὐτὸν εἰδὼς ἐκείνου τῷ τρόπῳ, καὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπεκλήθης Θεὸς, εἰπών· « Ἔσομαί σου Θεὸς, καὶ τοῦ σπέρματός σου μετὰ σέ. » Καὶ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν Ἰακὼβ ἐπὶ Μεσοποταμίαν στελλομένου, δείξας τὸν Χριστὸν, δι' αὐτοῦ ἐλάλησας, εἰπών· « Ἰδοὺ ἐγώ εἰμι μετὰ σοῦ, καὶ αὐξανῶ σε, καὶ πληθυνῶ σε σφόδρα. » Καὶ οὕτως εἶπας πρὸς Μωϋσῆν τὸν πιστὸν καὶ ἅγιόν σου θεράποντα, ἐπὶ τῆς ὀπτασίας τῆς βάτου· « Ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ὤν· τοῦτό μοι ὄνομά ἐστιν αἰώνιον, καὶ μνημόσυνον γενεαῖς γενεῶν. » Ὑπέρμαχε γένους Ἀβραὰμ, εὐλογητὸς εἶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας.
ascending, receives the right hand of the nourishment to come; and at the same time, even before the promise of the regeneration is at hand, the soul itself, exulting in hope, is glad. For from the beginning, when our forefather Abraham was striving after the way of truth, Thou didst guide him by a vision, having taught him what this age really is; and knowledge went before his faith, and faith became the consequence of knowledge, and the covenant was the sequel of faith; for Thou didst say: "I will make your seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand which is by the lip of the sea." Moreover, having also bestowed Isaac upon him, and knowing him to be like that man in his character, Thou wast called his God also, saying: "I will be your God, and the God of your seed after you." And when our father Jacob was being sent to Mesopotamia, having shown him the Christ, Thou didst speak through Him, saying: "Behold, I am with you, and I will increase you and multiply you exceedingly." And thus Thou didst say to Moses, Thy faithful and holy servant, at the vision of the bush: "I am He Who is; this is My everlasting name, and a memorial to generations of generations." O Champion of the race of Abraham, blessed art Thou for ever.

Εὐλογητὸς εἶ, Κύριε βασιλεῦ τῶν αἰώνων· ὁ διὰ Χριστοῦ ποιήσας τὰ ὅλα, καὶ δι' αὐτοῦ ἐν ἀρχῇ κοσμήσας τὰ ἀκατασκεύαστα· ὁ διαχωρίσας ὕδατα ὑδάτων στερεώματι, καὶ πνεῦμα ζωτικὸν τούτοις ἐμβαλών· ὁ γῆν ἑδράσας, καὶ οὐρανὸν ἐκτείνας, καὶ τὴν ἑκάστου τῶν κτισμάτων ἀκριβῆ διάταξιν κοσμήσας.

Αὐτὴν δὲ τὴν θάλασσαν πῶς ἄν τις ἐκφράσειεν; ἥτις ἔρχεται μὲν ἀπὸ πελάγους μαινομένη· παλινδρομεῖ δὲ, ἀπὸ ψάμμου τῇ σῇ προσταγῇ κωλυομένη· εἶπες γὰρ, ἐν αὐτῇ συντριβήσεσθαι αὐτῆς τὰ κύματα· ζώοις δὲ μικροῖς καὶ μεγάλοις, καὶ πλοίοις πορευτὴν αὐτὴν
Blessed art Thou, O Lord, King of the ages; Who through Christ hast made all things, and through Him in the beginning didst set in order the things that were unformed; Who didst divide waters from waters by a firmament, and didst put into them a living spirit; Who didst establish the earth, and stretch out heaven, and order the exact arrangement of each of the creatures. For by Thy power, O Master, the world has been made bright; and heaven, fixed like a vault, has been adorned with stars, for consolation of the darkness; and light and the sun have been brought forth for days and for the bearing of fruits; and the moon for the turning of the seasons, waxing and waning; and night was named, and day was called, and a firmament was shown through the midst of the abysses; and Thou didst say that the waters should be gathered together, and that the dry land should appear. And the sea itself, how could anyone describe it? which comes raging from the deep, but runs back again, held in check by the sand at Thy command; for Thou didst say that in it its waves should be broken; and for living creatures small and great, and for ships, a way to be travelled

"Raging." It is wrongly omitted in the same codex. Ἀπὸ πελάγους ought to have been translated "from the deep sea", for this is the force of the word when it is set against the shore and the sea near it; which could be proved by the authority of the best writers.

"The world's ornament." Man is adorned with the same title of praise by Methodius in Epiphanius, heresy 64, that of the Origenists, chapter 18, and by the unknown author of the Commentaries on Job. But for Philo, writing on Abraham, man is "a world within the world". See Nilus, book 2, letter 119. Cotelier.

ἐποίησας. Εἶτ' ἐχλοαίνετο γῆ, παντοίοις ἄνθεσι καταγραφομένη, καὶ ποικιλίᾳ δένδρων διαφόρων· παμφαεῖς τε φωστῆρες τούτων τιθηνοὶ, ἀπαράβατον σώζοντες τὸν δολιχὸν, καὶ κατ' οὐδὲν παραλλάσσοντες τῆς σῆς προσταγῆς· ἀλλ' ὅπη ἂν κελεύσῃς, ταύτῃ ἀνίσχουσι καὶ δύουσιν, εἰς σημεῖα καιρῶν καὶ ἐνιαυτῶν, ἀμειβόμενοι τὴν τῶν ἀνθρώπων ὑπηρεσίαν. Ἔπειτα διαφόρων ζώων κατεσκευάζετο γένη, χερσαίων, ἐνύδρων, ἀεροπόρων, ἀμφιβίων· καὶ τῆς σῆς προνοίας ἡ ἔντεχνος σοφία τὴν κατάλληλον ἑκάστῳ πρόνοιαν δωρεῖται· ὥσπερ γὰρ διάφορα γένη οὐκ ἠτόνησε παραγαγεῖν, οὕτως οὐδὲ διάφορον πρόνοιαν ἑκάστου ποιήσασθαι κατωλιγώρησε. Καὶ τέλος τῆς δημιουργίας, τὸ λογικὸν ζῶον, τὸν κοσμοπολίτην, τῇ σῇ σοφίᾳ διαταξάμενος, κατεσκεύασας, εἰπών· « Ποιήσωμεν ἄνθρωπον κατ' εἰκόνα καὶ καθ' ὁμοίωσιν ἡμετέραν, » κόσμου κόσμον αὐτὸν ἀναδείξας· ἐκ μὲν τῶν τεσσάρων στοιχείων, πρώτων σωμάτων, διαπλάσας αὐτῷ σῶμα, κατασκευάσας δ' αὐτῷ τὴν ψυχὴν ἐκ τοῦ μὴ ὄντος, αἴσθησιν δ' αὐτῷ πένταθλον χαρισάμενος, καὶ νοῦν τὸν τῆς ψυχῆς ἡνίοχον ταῖς αἰσθήσεσιν ἐπιστήσας. Καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶσι τούτοις, Δέσποτα Κύριε, τίς ἐπαξίως διηγήσεται νεφῶν ὀμβροτόκων φορὰν, ἀστραπῆς ἔκλαμψιν, βροντῶν πάταγον, εἰς τροφῆς καταλλήλου χορηγίαν, καὶ κρᾶσιν ἀέρων παναρμόνιον; Παρακούσαντα δὲ ⟨τ⟩ὸν ἄνθρωπον, ἐμμίσθου ζωῆς ἐστέρησας· οὐκ εἰς ⟨τὸ⟩ παντελὲς ἀφανίσας, ἀλλὰ χρόνῳ πρὸς ὀλίγον κ⟨οιμ⟩ίσας, ὅρκῳ εἰς παλιγγενεσίαν ἐκάλεσας. Ὅρον ⟨θ⟩ανάτου ἔλυσας, ὁ ζωοποιὸς τῶν νεκρῶν διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, τῆς ἐλπίδος ἡμῶν.
Thou didst make it. Then the earth grew green, painted with flowers of every kind and with the variety of different trees; and the all-shining luminaries, the nurses of these, keeping their long course inviolate, and in nothing deviating from Thy command; but wherever Thou biddest, there they rise and set, for signs of seasons and of years, taking their turns in the service of men. Then the kinds of different living creatures were fashioned, those of the dry land, those of the water, those that traverse the air, the amphibious; and the skilful wisdom of Thy providence bestows on each the provision that befits it; for as it was not too weak to bring forth different kinds, so neither did it neglect to make a different provision for each. And as the end of the creation, having given charge to Thy Wisdom, Thou didst fashion the rational living creature, the citizen of the world, saying: "Let us make man according to our image and according to our likeness," having shown him forth as an ornament of the world; having moulded a body for him out of the four elements, the primary bodies, and having fashioned his soul for him out of what was not, and having bestowed on him fivefold sense, and having set mind, the charioteer of the soul, over the senses. And besides all these things, O Master, Lord, who shall worthily recount the course of the rain-bearing clouds, the flashing of the lightning, the crash of the thunders, for the supply of fitting nourishment, and the all-harmonious tempering of the airs? But when man had disobeyed, Thou didst deprive him of the life that was his reward; not having destroyed him utterly, but having put him to sleep for a little time, Thou didst call him by an oath to regeneration. Thou hast loosed the bound of death, Thou Who givest life to the dead through Jesus Christ, our hope.
ΚΕΦΑΛΑΙΟΝ ΛΕʹ. Προσευχὴ μετὰ εὐχαριστίας ἐξαγγέλλουσα τοῦ Θεοῦ τὴν περὶ τὰ ὄντα κηδεμονίαν.
CHAPTER XXXV. A prayer with thanksgiving, declaring God's care for the things that are.
Μέγας εἶ, Κύριε παντόκρατορ, καὶ μεγάλη ἡ ἰσχύς σου, καὶ τῆς συνέσεώς σου οὐκ ἔστιν ἀριθμός· κτίστα, σῶτερ, πλούσιε ἐν χάρισι, μακρόθυμε, καὶ ἐλέους χορηγέ· ὁ μὴ ἀφιστῶν τῶν σῶν κτισμάτων τὴν σωτηρίαν· φύσει γὰρ ἀγαθὸς ὑπάρχεις· φείδῃ δὲ ἁμαρτανόντων, εἰς μετάνοιαν προσκαλούμενος· οἰκτιρμῶν γάρ σου ἡ νουθέτησις. Πῶς γὰρ ἂν ὑπέστημεν, ἐπειγομένην ἀπαιτούμενοι κρίσιν, ὁπότε μακροθυμούμενοι, μόλις ἀνανεύομεν τῆς ἀσθενείας; Σοῦ τὸ κράτος ἀνήγγειλαν οἱ οὐρανοὶ, καὶ γῆ κραδαινομένη τὴν ἀσφάλειαν, ἐπ' οὐδενὸς κρεμαμένη.
Great art Thou, O Lord Almighty, and great is Thy strength, and of Thy understanding there is no number; O Creator, Saviour, rich in graces, long-suffering, and Bestower of mercy; Who dost not withdraw salvation from Thy creatures; for Thou art good by nature; but Thou sparest those who sin, calling them to repentance; for Thy admonition comes of compassions. For how should we have stood, if a hastened judgement were demanded of us, when, even being borne with patiently, we scarcely lift our heads from our weakness? The heavens have declared Thy might, and the earth, though it quakes, Thy steadfastness, being hung upon nothing.

Σὺ γὰρ εἶ ὁ χρηστὸς ἐν εὐεργεσίαις, καὶ φιλόδωρος ἐν οἰκτιρμοῖς· ὁ μόνος παντοκράτωρ· ὅτε γὰρ θέλεις, πάρεστί σοι τὸ δύνασθαι· τὸ γὰρ σὸν αἰώνιον κράτος καὶ φλόγα καταψύχει, καὶ λέοντας φιμοῖ, καὶ κήτη καταπραΰνει, καὶ νοσοῦντας ἐγείρει, καὶ δυνάμεις μετατρέπει· καὶ στρατὸν ἐχθρῶν, καὶ λαὸν ἀριθμούμενον, ἐν τῷ ὑπερηφανεύεσθαι, καταστρώννυσι.

Μὴ γὰρ ἡμέτερόν ἐστι τοῦτο, Δέσποτα· τοῦ θεράποντός σού ἐστι λόγιον, φάσκοντος· « Καὶ γνώσῃ τῇ καρδίᾳ σου, ὅτι ὁ Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου, Θεὸς ἐν οὐρανῷ ἄνω, καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς κάτω, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἔτι πλὴν αὐτοῦ. » Οὐδὲ γάρ ἐστι Θεὸς πλὴν σοῦ μόνου· ἅγιος οὐκ ἔστι πλὴν σοῦ, Κύριος Θεὸς
The sea, swelling with waves and feeding a countless herd of living creatures, has been fettered with sand, shuddering at Thy will; and it compels all to cry aloud: "How Thy works have been magnified, O Lord; Thou hast made all things in wisdom; the earth has been filled with Thy creation." And the flaming host of angels and the intellectual spirits say: "One holy one to Phelmoni"; and the holy seraphim, together with the cherubim, the six-winged ones, singing to Thee the hymn of victory, cry with never-silent voices: "Holy, holy, holy Lord of Sabaoth; heaven and earth are full of Thy glory"; and the other multitudes of the orders, angels, archangels, thrones, dominions, principalities, authorities, powers, crying aloud, say: "Blessed be the glory of the Lord from His place." And Israel, Thy Church on earth, the one drawn from the nations, vying with the powers in heaven, by night and by day, with a full heart and a willing soul, sings: "The chariot of God is ten-thousandfold, thousands of those who flourish; the Lord is among them, in Sinai, in the holy place." Heaven knows Him Who vaulted it upon nothing, like a cube of stone; and Who united earth and water to one another; and Who poured out the air, the nourisher of life, and entwined fire with it, for warmth and for consolation of the darkness. The choir of the stars strikes with awe, signifying Him Who numbered them and showing Him Who named them; the living creatures, Him Who gave them life; the trees, Him Who made them grow. All which things, having come to be by Thy word, set forth the might of Thy power; wherefore every man also ought, from his very breast, to send up to Thee through Christ the hymn on behalf of all, since through Thee he holds mastery over all things. For Thou art He Who is kind in benefactions and bountiful in compassions; the only Almighty; for when Thou willest, the power is present with Thee; for Thy eternal might both cools the flame, and muzzles lions, and tames sea-monsters, and raises the sick, and overturns powers; and lays low an army of enemies, and a people numbered in its arrogance. Thou art He Who is in heaven, Who is on earth, Who is in the sea, Who is in the things that are bounded, Thyself bounded by nothing; for of Thy greatness there is no bound. For this is not ours, O Master; it is the oracle of Thy servant, who says: "And you shall know in your heart that the Lord your God is God in heaven above and upon the earth beneath, and there is no other besides Him." For neither is there a God besides Thee alone; there is none holy besides Thee, Lord God

"One holy one to Phelmoni." This is taken from the version of Daniel, ch. 8:13, by a man who did not know Hebrew; otherwise he would have rendered it τῷ δεῖνι ["to such a one"], which is the known meaning of the Hebrew word פלמוני, Phalmoni, or τινί ποτε ["to a certain one"], as Symmachus had it, "to another, I know not whom," as Jerome rightly has it.

Lord Almighty, Thou didst create the world through Christ, and didst appoint the Sabbath in memory of this, because on it Thou didst give rest from works, for meditation on Thy laws; and Thou didst ordain feasts for the gladness of our souls, that we might come to the remembrance of the Wisdom created by Thee: how for our sake He submitted to the birth that is through a woman; He appeared in this life, showing Himself forth in the baptism, that He Who appeared is God and man; He suffered for our sake by Thy permission, and died, and rose again by Thy might. Wherefore also, celebrating the feast of the resurrection on the Lord's day, we rejoice over Him Who conquered death and brought life and incorruption to light; for through Him Thou didst bring the nations to Thyself, for a people of Thine own possession, the true Israel, the beloved of God, the one that sees God.

Ἀμεσίτευτον τὸ ἔργον. Et quibusdam interpositis, ὁ δημιουργίας τῆς διὰ μεσίτου κτίστης. Quaeres quomodo creatio intermedio careat, quae mediatorem, seu medium habet Filium Dei? Responderi potest, creationem esse quidem absque medio alieno a divinitate; agnoscere tamen personam divinitatis mediam, Filium : mediatorem productionis, per quem scilicet Pater omnia creavit; sed non mediatorem naturae, id est, participem increati et creati, quod exstitit post assumptam naturam humanam. COT.— Crediderim ἀμεσίτευτον ἔργον esse, quod nullis instrumentis aliunde desumptis perfectum est, ut sit idem ac ἄμεσον ἔργον, seu, ut loquimur hodie, immediatum opus. Adi Dionys. Petavium De Trinitate, lib. VII, cap. 4. Vide et cap. 12 ubi Constit. auctor ait Filium a Patre genitum ἀμεσιτεύτως. CL.

"The work without a mediator." And, after some words intervening, "the creator of the creation that is through a mediator." You will ask how creation can lack an intermediary, when it has the Son of God as mediator or medium. It can be answered that creation is indeed without a medium foreign to the divinity; yet that it acknowledges a middle person of the divinity, the Son: a mediator of the producing, through whom, that is, the Father created all things; but not a mediator of nature, that is, one sharing in the uncreated and the created, which came to be after the human nature was assumed. Cotelier.— I should think an ἀμεσίτευτον ἔργον is one that was completed with no instruments taken from elsewhere, so that it is the same as ἄμεσον ἔργον, or, as we say today, an "immediate work." See Dionysius Petavius, On the Trinity, book VII, ch. 4. See also ch. 12, where the author of the Constitutions says the Son was begotten of the Father ἀμεσιτεύτως ["without a mediator"]. Clericus.

Κύριε. Est scholium in cod. Vindob. hic additum : Ὅτι Κύριος ἔκτισέ με, σαφῶς εἰς τὸν ἐκ Παρθένου τεχθέντα Χριστὸν ἀναφέρεται. Quae erat orthodoxorum sententia qua objectionem desumptam ex creatione sapientiae retunderent. Sed revera de neutra sapientia, hoc est, creata ante mundum, aut nata ex virgine agitur apud Salomonem, ut viri docti viderunt, et nos ad Proverbia pluribus ostendemus. ID.

Κύριε ["Lord"]. There is a scholium added here in the Vienna codex: "That 'the Lord created me' plainly refers to the Christ born of the Virgin." This was the opinion of the orthodox, by which they blunted the objection drawn from the creation of wisdom. But in truth Solomon treats of neither wisdom, that is, neither one created before the world nor one born of a virgin, as learned men have seen, and as we shall show at greater length on Proverbs. The same.

for, O Lord, Thou didst also lead our fathers out of the land of Egypt, and didst deliver them from the iron furnace, and from clay and brick-making; Thou didst redeem them from the hand of Pharaoh and of those under him, and didst lead them through the sea as through dry land; and Thou didst bear with them in the wilderness with good things of every kind. Thou didst bestow on them a law, of ten oracles, uttered by Thy voice and written down by Thy hand; Thou didst command them to keep the Sabbath, not giving a pretext for idleness but an occasion for piety, for the knowledge of Thy power, for the hindering of evils, having shut them in as within a sacred enclosure, for the sake of instruction, for the exultation of the seventh; for this reason there is one seven of days, and seven sevens, and a seventh month, and a seventh year, and the revolution of this in its turn, the jubilee, which is the fiftieth year, for remission. That men might have no pretext for pleading ignorance, for this reason He allowed them to rest every Sabbath, that no one might be willing to let even a word go forth from his mouth in anger on the day of the Sabbath. For the Sabbath is the resting from creation, the completion of the world, the searching of the laws, the thankful praise to God for the things He bestowed on men. All of which the Lord's day surpasses, showing forth the Mediator Himself, the Provider, the Lawgiver, the Cause of resurrection, the Firstborn of all creation, God the Word and man, Him Who was born of Mary alone without a man, Who lived His life holily, Who was crucified under Pontius Pilate, and died, and rose again from the dead. So the Lord's day bids us offer to Thee, O Master, the thanksgiving for all things; for this is the grace bestowed by Thee, which by its greatness has covered every benefit.

XXXV, dum legit Bethlehem, sic loquitur : Exsurgens ascende in locum Bethlehem (eo modo prorsus scribi debere docent sequentia), hoc est in domum panis, ubi natus est Christus; sicut Michaeas propheta testatus est, dicens : « Et tu, Bethlehem, domus Ephrata, » etc. COT.

"Jacob in Bethlehem": Bovius, "in Bethel," excellently, whether he found it so or emended it. It is well known that these two names, when written in abbreviation, are easily confused and mislead the copyists: which may be seen in the Chronicon Alexandrinum, p. 218. Indeed, through the same error St. Ambrose, book II On Jacob, ch. 7, reading Bethlehem for Bethel in Gen. 35, speaks thus: "Arise, go up to the place Bethlehem" (what follows shows that it must certainly be written so), "that is, to the house of bread, where Christ was born; as the prophet Micah bore witness, saying: 'And you, Bethlehem, house of Ephrata,'" etc. Cotelier.

Ἐν τῷ Φασσᾷ. Non infeliciter mihi videor vocem nihili Φασσά hoc loco mutasse in praeclarum vocabulum Φάσχα, quod est Φασέχ II Paralip.

"In the Phassa." I think I have not unhappily changed the meaningless word Φασσά in this place into the noble word Φάσχα, which is Φασέχ in 2 Paralipomenon 35 and 30, that is, the Pasch, as the great theologian Gregory Nazianzen teaches in Oration 42, pp. 682, 683. But by the most learned Turrianus, who translated "in Sappha," there is understood, unless I am mistaken, Saphan (Σαφάν or Σαπφάν), the scribe of the Lord's temple in the times of King Josiah.

Καὶ γεῦσιν πρόσφορον, καὶ ἁφὴν κατάλληλον, καὶ ὅρασιν θέας, καὶ ἀκοὴν φωνῆς, καὶ ὄσφρησιν ἀτμῶν, καὶ χεῖρας εἰς ἔργον, καὶ πόδας πρὸς ὁδοιπορίαν. Καὶ ταῦτα πάντα ἐκ μικρᾶς σταγόνος διαπλάττεις ἐν μήτρᾳ, καὶ ψυχὴν ἀθάνατον μετὰ τὴν μόρφωσιν χαρίζῃ, καὶ προάγεις εἰς φῶς. Τὸ λογικὸν ζῶον, τὸν ἄνθρωπον, νόμοις ἐπαίδευσας, δικαιώμασιν ἐφαίδρυνας· πρὸς ὀλίγον ἐπάγων διάλυσιν, τὴν ἀνάστασιν ἐπηγγείλω. Ποῖος τοιγαροῦν αὐτάρκης βίος, αἰώνων δὲ μῆκος πόσον διαρκέσει ἀνθρώποις πρὸς εὐχαριστίαν; ἢ τὸ μὲν πρὸς ἀξίαν ἀδύνατον, τὸ δὲ κατὰ δύναμιν εὐαγές. Ἐῤῥύσω γὰρ ἀσεβείας πολυθέων, καὶ χριστοκτόνων αἱρέσεως ἐξείλου, πεπλανημένης ἀγνοίας ἠλευθέρωσας· τὸν Χριστὸν ἀπέστειλας εἰς ἀνθρώπους ὡς ἄνθρωπον, Θεὸν ὄντα μονογενῆ· τὸν Παράκλητον ἐνῴκισας ἡμῖν· ἀγγέλους ἐπέστησας, τὸν διάβολον ᾔσχυνας· οὐκ ὄντας ἐποίησας, γενομένους φυλάσσεις· ζωὴν ἐπιμετρεῖς, χορηγεῖς τροφήν· μετάνοιαν ἐπηγγείλω. Ὑπὲρ ἁπάντων σοι ἡ δόξα καὶ τὸ σέβας, διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, νῦν, καὶ ἀεὶ, καὶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας. Ἀμήν. Ταῦτα μελετᾶτε, ἀδελφοί· καὶ εἴη ὁ Κύριος μεθ' ὑμῶν ἐπὶ γῆς, καὶ ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ Πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, τοῦ καὶ αὐτὸν ἀποστείλαντος, καὶ ἡμᾶς δι' αὐτοῦ ἐλευθερώσαντος ἐκ τῆς δουλείας τῆς φθορᾶς εἰς τὴν ἐλευθερίαν τῆς δόξης, καὶ ζωὴν ἐπαγγειλαμένου τοῖς δι' αὐτοῦ πιστεύσασιν εἰς τὸν τῶν ὅλων Θεόν. Ὅπως μὲν οὖν ὀφείλουσι ζῇν οἱ κατὰ Χριστὸν μεμυημένοι, καὶ οἵας εὐχαριστίας ἀναπέμπειν τῷ Θεῷ διὰ Χριστοῦ, εἴρηται διὰ τῶν προλαβόντων· δίκαιον δὲ, μηδὲ τοὺς ἀμυήτους καταλιπεῖν ἀβοηθήτους.
rescued by nourishing us, has healed from sickness, has sheltered from an evil tongue. For all things we give thanks to Thee through Christ. Thou Who hast also bestowed an articulate voice for confession, and hast set beneath it a well-fitted tongue, in the manner of a plectrum, as an instrument; and a suitable taste, and a fitting touch, and sight for seeing, and hearing for sound, and smelling for vapours, and hands for work, and feet for journeying. And all these Thou dost fashion from a small drop in the womb, and after the forming Thou dost grant an immortal soul, and dost bring it forth into the light. The rational living creature, man, Thou hast trained by laws, Thou hast made bright with ordinances; bringing dissolution on him for a little while, Thou hast promised the resurrection. What life, then, is sufficient, and how great a length of ages will suffice for men for thanksgiving? Surely to do it worthily is impossible, but to do it according to one's power is holy. For Thou hast delivered from the impiety of the worshippers of many gods, and hast rescued from the sect of the slayers of Christ, Thou hast set free from erring ignorance; Thou hast sent Christ to men as man, being God only-begotten; Thou hast made the Paraclete to dwell in us; Thou hast set angels over us, Thou hast put the devil to shame; Thou hast made us when we were not, Thou dost guard us now that we have come to be; Thou dost measure out life, Thou dost supply food; Thou hast promised repentance. For all things, glory and reverence be to Thee, through Jesus Christ, now, and always, and unto the ages. Amen. Meditate on these things, brothers; and may the Lord be with you on earth, and in the kingdom of His Father, Who both sent Him, and through Him set us free from the slavery of corruption into the freedom of glory, and promised life to those who through Him have believed in the God of the universe. How, then, those who have been initiated according to Christ ought to live, and what thanksgivings they ought to send up to God through Christ, has been said in what went before; but it is right not to leave the uninitiated without help either.

Let him, therefore, who is to be catechized in the word of piety be taught before baptism the knowledge concerning the Unbegotten, the full knowledge concerning the only-begotten Son, the full assurance concerning the Holy Spirit. Let him learn the order of the varied creation, the sequence of providence, the tribunals of the varied legislation. Let him be taught why the world came to be, and for what reason man was appointed a citizen of the world. Let him come to know

ἑαυτοῦ φύσιν, οἷα τις ὑπάρχει. Παιδευέσθω ὅπως ὁ Θεὸς τοὺς πονηροὺς ἐκόλασεν ὕδατι καὶ πυρὶ, τοὺς δ' ἁγίους ἐδόξασε καθ' ἑκάστην γενεάν· λέγω δὴ τὸν Σὴθ, τὸν Ἐνὼς, τὸν Ἐνὼχ, τὸν Νῶε, τὸν Ἀβραὰμ καὶ τοὺς ἐκγόνους αὐτοῦ, τὸν Μελχισεδὲκ, καὶ τὸν Ἰὼβ, καὶ τὸν Μωσέα, Ἰησοῦν τε, καὶ Χαλὲβ, καὶ Φινεὲς τὸν ἱερέα, καὶ τοὺς καθ' ἑκάστην γενεὰν ὁσίους. Ὅπως τε προνοούμενος οὐκ ἀπεστράφη ὁ Θεὸς τὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων γένος· ἀλλὰ ἀπὸ πλάνης καὶ ματαιότητος εἰς ἐπίγνωσιν ἀληθείας ἐκάλει κατὰ διαφόρους καιροὺς, ἀπὸ τῆς δουλείας καὶ ἀσεβείας εἰς ἐλευθερίαν καὶ εὐσέβειαν ἐπανάγων, ἀπὸ ἀδικίας εἰς δικαιοσύνην, ἀπὸ θανάτου αἰωνίου εἰς ζωὴν ἀΐδιον. Ταῦτα καὶ τὰ τούτοις ἀκόλουθα μανθανέτω ἐν τῇ κατηχήσει ὁ προσιών. Προσκυνείτω δὲ ὁ χειροθετῶν αὐτὸν, τὸν Θεὸν τὸν τῶν ὅλων Δεσπότην, εὐχαριστῶν ὑπὲρ τοῦ πλάσματος· ὅτι κατέπεμψε τὸν Υἱὸν αὐτοῦ τὸν μονογενῆ Χριστὸν, ἵνα σώσῃ τὸν ἄνθρωπον, ἐξαλείψας τὰς ἀνομίας, καὶ ἵνα ἀφῇ τὰς ἀσεβείας καὶ τὰς ἁμαρτίας, καὶ καθαρίσῃ ἀπὸ παντὸς μολυσμοῦ σαρκὸς καὶ πνεύματος· ἁγιάσῃ δὲ τὸν ἄνθρωπον κατ' εὐδοκίαν τῆς χρηστότητος αὐτοῦ, συνετίσῃ δὲ τὸ θέλημα αὐτοῦ, καὶ φωτίσῃ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς τῆς καρδίας αὐτοῦ εἰς κατανόησιν τῶν θαυμασίων αὐτοῦ· γνωρίσῃ αὐτῷ τὰ κρίματα τῆς δικαιοσύνης, ὅπως ἂν μισήσῃ πᾶσαν ὁδὸν ἀδικίας, πορεύηται δὲ τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς ἀληθείας· εἰς τὸ καταξιωθῆναι αὐτὸν τοῦ λουτροῦ τῆς παλιγγενεσίας, εἰς υἱοθεσίαν τὴν ἐν Χριστῷ· ἵνα σύμφυτος γενόμενος τῇ ὁμοιότητι τοῦ θανάτου τοῦ Χριστοῦ, ἐπ' ἐλπίδι τῆς ἐνδόξου κοινωνίας, νεκρωθῇ μὲν τῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ, ζήσῃ δὲ τῷ Θεῷ κατά τε νοῦν καὶ λόγον καὶ πρᾶξιν, καὶ ἐν τῇ βίβλῳ τῶν ζώντων συναριθμηθῇ. Καὶ μετὰ τὴν εὐχαριστίαν ταύτην, παιδευσάτω αὐτὸν τὰ περὶ τῆς τοῦ Κυρίου ἐνανθρωπήσεως, τά τε περὶ τοῦ πάθους αὐτοῦ, καὶ τῆς ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀναστάσεως, καὶ ἀναλήψεως.
his own nature, of what kind it is. Let him be instructed how God punished the wicked with water and fire, but glorified the saints in every generation: I mean Seth, Enos, Enoch, Noah, Abraham and his descendants, Melchizedek, and Job, and Moses, and Joshua, and Caleb, and Phinehas the priest, and the holy ones in every generation. And how God, exercising His providence, did not turn away from the race of men, but kept calling them from error and vanity to the knowledge of truth at various times, leading them back from slavery and impiety to freedom and piety, from unrighteousness to righteousness, from eternal death to everlasting life. Let him who comes forward learn these things, and the things that follow from them, in his catechesis. And let him who lays hands on him adore God, the Master of all things, giving thanks for His creature: that He sent down His Son, the only-begotten Christ, that He might save man, blotting out his transgressions, and that He might forgive his impieties and sins, and cleanse him from every defilement of flesh and spirit; and might sanctify the man according to the good pleasure of His kindness, and give him understanding of His will, and enlighten the eyes of his heart for the consideration of His wonders; might make known to him the judgements of righteousness, so that he may hate every way of unrighteousness and walk in the way of truth; to the end that he may be deemed worthy of the washing of regeneration, unto the adoption that is in Christ; that, having been planted together in the likeness of the death of Christ, in hope of the glorious fellowship, he may be put to death to sin, and may live to God in mind and word and deed, and be numbered together in the book of the living. And after this thanksgiving, let him instruct him in the things concerning the Lord's becoming man, and those concerning His passion, and His resurrection from the dead, and His assumption.

(15) ‹ὁ χειροθετῶν› · call in col 1040

Ὁ χειροθετῶν. Manus imponebant catechumenis, quando eos faciebant catechumenos. Severus, dialogo 2, cap. 5 : Nec cunctatus Martinus, in medio ut erat campo, cunctos, imposita universis manu, catechumenos fecit. Vide in libris Ritualibus orationes ad faciendum catechumenum. Ac si mecum sentire vis, hunc ritum intellige expressum in conciliis Arelatensi et Eliberitano, ubi frustra digladiantur interpretes, alii accipientes de baptismo, alii de confirmatione. Aiunt Patres Arelatenses in Epistola ad Silvestrum PP. : De his qui in infirmitate sunt constituti, et credere volunt, placuit eis manum imponi; et canone 6 : De his qui in infirmitate credere volunt, placuit eis debere manum imponi. Eliberitani vero can. 39 : Gentiles si in infirmitate desideraverint sibi manum imponi, si fuerit eorum ex aliqua parte vita honesta, placuit eis manum imponi, et fieri Christianos. Neque enim dicitur, in gravi infirmitate, aut in periculo mortis, sed in infirmitate tantum. Verum objicit vir hac praesertim in parte longe doctissimus Joannes Morinus De poenitentia lib. X, cap. 8, dogma esse in Ecclesia inauditum, aliquem non baptizatum esse posse Christianum. Quasi vero canonis Eliberitani 45 verba non sint, quae eodem loci a Morino laudantur : Qui aliquando fuerit catechumenus, et per infinita tempora nunquam ad Ecclesiam accesserit, si eum de clero quisque cognoverit esse Christianum, aut testes aliqui exstiterint fideles, placuit ei baptismum non negari, eo quod in veterem hominem deliquisse videatur. Quid quod Graeci ex canone CP. 7, eum qui accedit ad Ecclesiam antequam baptizent, faciunt primo Christianum, hoc est Χριστιανὸν ἀβάπτιστον, οἷα τυχόν ἐστι τὰ τῶν Χριστιανῶν παιδία τὰ μέλλοντα βαπτίζεσθαι, docetur Euchologii pagina 345, ac deinde catechumenum? Praeterea manus imponebant catechumenis, inter tempus initi catechumenatus, et tempus baptismi : qua de manus impositione, vel quotidiana, vel crebra, vel certis Quadragesimae diebus, agitur praecipue in Clementinis, lib. III, cap. ult., in concilio Carthaginensi IV, cap. 85, et in concilio Matisconensi II, can. 3. COT.

"He who lays on hands." They laid hands on catechumens when they made them catechumens. Severus, Dialogue 2, ch. 5: "Nor did Martin delay: in the middle of the field, just as he was, he laid his hand on them all and made them all catechumens." See in the ritual books the prayers "for making a catechumen." And if you will agree with me, understand this rite to be the one expressed in the councils of Arles and Elvira, where the interpreters contend in vain, some taking it of baptism, others of confirmation. The Fathers of Arles say in the Letter to Pope Silvester: "Concerning those who are laid up in sickness and wish to believe, it was resolved that a hand be laid on them"; and in canon 6: "Concerning those who in sickness wish to believe, it was resolved that a hand ought to be laid on them." And those of Elvira, can. 39: "If pagans in sickness desire that a hand be laid on them, if their life has been in some part honourable, it was resolved that a hand be laid on them and that they be made Christians." For it is not said "in grave sickness" or "in danger of death," but only "in sickness." But Joannes Morinus, a man by far the most learned especially in this field, objects in On Penance, book X, ch. 8, that it is a doctrine unheard of in the Church that someone not baptized can be a Christian. As though there were not the words of canon 45 of Elvira, which Morinus cites in that same place: "One who was at some time a catechumen and for a very long time never came to the Church, if any of the clergy has known him to be a Christian, or some faithful witnesses come forward, it was resolved that baptism not be denied him, because he appears to have sinned against the old man." What of the fact that the Greeks, by canon 7 of Constantinople, first make the one who approaches the Church, before they baptize him, a Christian (that is, "an unbaptized Christian, such as, say, the children of Christians who are going to be baptized," as page 345 of the Euchologion teaches), and then a catechumen? Moreover, they laid hands on catechumens between the time catechumenate was entered and the time of baptism: of which laying on of hands, whether daily, or frequent, or on fixed days of Lent, there is treatment chiefly in the Clementines, book III, last chapter, in the Fourth Council of Carthage, ch. 85, and in the Second Council of Mâcon, can. 3. Cotelerius.

ΚΕΦΑΛΑΙΟΝ Μʹ. Διάταξις, ὅπως χρὴ τοὺς κατηχουμένους ὑπὸ τῶν ἱερέων ἐν τῇ μυήσει εὐλογεῖσθαι, καὶ τίνα διδάσκεσθαι αὐτούς.
CHAPTER XL. An ordinance on how the catechumens ought to be blessed by the priests at their initiation, and what things they are to be taught.
Καὶ ὅταν ᾖ πρὸς αὐτὸ λοιπὸν τὸ βαπτισθῆναι ὁ κατηχηθεὶς, μανθανέτω τὰ περὶ τῆς ἀποταγῆς τοῦ διαβόλου, καὶ τὰ περὶ τῆς συνταγῆς τοῦ Χριστοῦ. Δεῖ γὰρ αὐτὸν πρῶτον μὲν ἀποσχέσθαι τῶν ἐναντίων· καὶ τότε ἐντὸς γενέσθαι τῶν μυστηρίων, προκαθάραντα ἑαυτοῦ τὴν καρδίαν πάσης κακοηθείας, σπίλου τε καὶ ῥυτίδος· καὶ τότε τῶν ἁγίων μεταλαχεῖν· ὡς γὰρ γεωργὸς ἄριστος ἐκκαθαίρει τὴν ἄρουραν πρότερον τῶν ὑπερφυουσῶν ἐν αὐτῇ ἀκανθῶν, καὶ τότε σπείρει τὸν πυρόν· οὕτω δεῖ καὶ ὑμᾶς πρότερον πᾶσαν ἀσέβειαν ἐξελόντας ἀπ' αὐτῶν, τότε τὴν εὐσέβειαν αὐτοῖς ἐγκαταβάλλεσθαι, καὶ τοῦ βαπτίσματος ἀξιῶσαι. Καὶ γὰρ καὶ ὁ Κύριος ὑμῶν οὕτως ἡμῖν παρῄνεσεν, εἰπών· « Μαθητεύσατε πρότερον πάντα τὰ ἔθνη· » καὶ τότε ἐπήγαγε, τὸ, « Καὶ βαπτίσατε αὐτοὺς, εἰς τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Πατρὸς, καὶ τοῦ Υἱοῦ, καὶ τοῦ ἁγίου Πνεύματος. » Ἀπαγγελλέτω οὖν ὁ βαπτιζόμενος ἐν τῷ ἀποτάσσεσθαι·
And when the one who has been catechized is at last at the very point of being baptized, let him learn what concerns the renunciation of the devil and what concerns the adherence to Christ. For he must first abstain from the things that are contrary, and then come within the mysteries, having first cleansed his own heart of all malice, and of spot and wrinkle, and then partake of the holy things. For as the best husbandman first clears the field of the thorns that have overgrown it, and then sows the wheat, so you also must first remove all impiety from them, then plant piety in them, and count them worthy of baptism. For indeed your Lord also exhorted us thus, saying: "First make disciples of all the nations" (Matt. 28:19); and then He added: "And baptize them into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." Let the one being baptized, therefore, declare in his renouncing:
ΚΕΦΑΛΑΙΟΝ ΜΑʹ. Ἀποταγὴ πρὸς τὸν ἐναντίον, καὶ συνταγὴ πρὸς τὸν Χριστὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ.
CHAPTER XLI. The renunciation of the adversary, and the adherence to the Christ of God.

I renounce Satan, and his works, and his pomps, and his worships, and his angels, and his inventions, and all who are under him. And after the renunciation, giving his adherence, let him say: And I adhere to Christ, and I believe, and am baptized into one unbegotten, only true God almighty, the Father of Christ, creator and maker of all things, from Whom are all things; and into the Lord Jesus the Christ, His only-begotten Son, the firstborn of all creation, Who before the ages was begotten by the good pleasure of the Father, not created, through Whom all things came to be, those in the heavens and on earth, both visible and invisible, Who in the last days came down from the heavens, and took flesh, and was born of the holy virgin Mary, and lived holily according to

Ἀποτάσσομαι, etc. Juverit fortassis ad illustrationem aliquam celeberrimi ritus, ex innumeris locis duo decerpere, insignia et brevia, unum Graeci doctoris, alterum Latini. Ergo apud Joannem Chrysostomum homil. 21, ad populum Antiochenum in fine dicitur : Ἀποτάσσομαί σοι, Σατανᾶ, καὶ τῇ πομπῇ σου· καὶ τῇ λατρείᾳ σου, καὶ συντάσσομαί σοι, Χριστέ. Hieronymus vero ad finem capitis VI Amos : In mysteriis, inquit, primum renuntiamus ei qui in occidente est, nobisque moritur cum peccatis, et sic versi ad orientem, pactum inimus cum Sole justitiae, et ei servituros nos esse promittimus, cum quibus Hieronymi conferri debent quae habet Isaac Catholicus, Invectiva I in Armenios, cap. 8. COT.

"I renounce," etc. It may perhaps help towards some illustration of this most celebrated rite to pick two passages out of countless ones, notable and brief, one from a Greek doctor, the other from a Latin. Thus in John Chrysostom, Homily 21 to the people of Antioch, at the end, it is said: "I renounce you, Satan, and your pomp, and your service, and I enlist with Thee, O Christ." And Jerome, at the end of chapter 6 of Amos, says: "In the mysteries we first renounce him who is in the west, and who dies to us together with our sins; and so, turned to the east, we enter into a covenant with the Sun of justice, and promise that we will serve him." With these words of Jerome should be compared what Isaac the Catholicos has in Invective I against the Armenians, ch. 8. Cotelier.

"Not created." This seems to have crept into the text from the margin. Read what I shall note on the Recognitions, book III, ch. 8. That those to be baptized were accustomed to recite and render the Creed is a thing most widely known from the canons, the Fathers, and the books of rites. Isaac, cited a little above: "Christ did not say the Symbol of the faith of the 318 holy fathers when he was about to be baptized; neither let them profess it." Combefis's Auctarium, vol. II, col. 318. The same [Cotelier]. — In the more accurate Vienna codex, written in the 13th century, these words are read; in the other, older but less accurate, they do not appear. Orthodox copyists or critics seem to have wished to remove Arian opinions from here, adding or changing words as seemed good to them. Clericus.

And after this profession, he comes in due order also to the anointing with the oil.

Εὐλογεῖται δὲ τοῦτο παρὰ τοῦ ἀρχιερέως εἰς ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν, καὶ προκατασκευὴν τοῦ βαπτίσματος. Ἐπικαλεῖται γὰρ οὕτω τὸν ἀγέννητον Θεὸν, τὸν Πατέρα τοῦ Χριστοῦ, τὸν βασιλέα πάσης αἰσθητῆς καὶ νοητῆς φύσεως, ἵνα ἁγιάσῃ τὸ ἔλαιον τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ, καὶ δώσῃ χάριν πνευματικὴν, καὶ δύναμιν ἐνεργητικὴν, ἄφεσίν τε ἁμαρτιῶν, καὶ προπαρασκευὴν ὁμολογίας βαπτίσματος, ὥστε τὸν χριόμενον, ἀπολυθέντα πάσης ἀσεβείας, ἄξιον γενέσθαι τῆς μυήσεως κατ' ἐντολὴν τοῦ Μονογενοῦς.
Now this is blessed by the high priest for the remission of sins and as a first preparation for baptism. For he calls thus upon the unbegotten God, the Father of Christ, the King of every sensible and intelligible nature, that He may sanctify the oil in the name of the Lord Jesus, and give spiritual grace and effectual power, and remission of sins, and a preparation beforehand for the confession of baptism, so that the one who is anointed, being loosed from all impiety, may become worthy of the initiation according to the commandment of the Only-begotten.

Then he comes to the water. The priest blesses and glorifies the Master, God the Almighty, the Father of the Only-begotten God, giving thanks: that He sent His Son to become man for our sake, in order to save us; that He suffered Him, in His becoming man, to be obedient in all things, to preach the kingdom of the heavens, the remission of sins, the resurrection of the dead. Besides these things he worships the only-begotten God Himself, after Him, and on His account giving thanks to Him, for His having undertaken the death on behalf of all through the cross, of which He gave the baptism of regeneration as a type. And he gives glory that in the name of Christ, God the Lord of all things, in the Holy Spirit, did not cast away the race of men, but at different times [applied] different

Θεοῦ ["God"]. This expression too, μονογενὴς Θεός ["only-begotten God"], is foreign to the apostolic style, but proper to the Arians, who called the Father ἀγέννητον ["unbegotten"], as we saw a little before, and the Son γεννητόν ["begotten"] and μονογενῆ Θεόν ["only-begotten God"]. Since this offended the copyist of the second Vienna codex, he wrote here Υἱοῦ ["Son"] in place of Θεοῦ.

forms of providence: at that time for Adam himself in paradise, first giving him paradise as a dwelling-place by way of delight, then by way of providence laying down a commandment; and when he had sinned, driving him out in righteousness, yet in goodness not casting him off utterly, but also disciplining in various ways those descended from him in succession; on whose account, at the end of the age, He sent His Son to become man for the sake of men, and to take upon Himself all human passions, without sin. Him, therefore, let the priest even now call upon at the baptism, and let him say: Look down from heaven, and sanctify this water; and give grace and power, so that the one who is baptized, according to the commandment of Thy Christ, may be crucified with Him, so as to die with Him, and be buried with Him, and rise with Him unto the adoption that is in Him, by being put to death to sin, but living to righteousness. And after this, having baptized him in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, let him anoint him with chrism, saying over him:

Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς, ὁ ἀγέννητος, καὶ ἀδέσποτος, ὁ τῶν ὅλων Κύριος, ὁ τὴν ὀσμὴν τῆς γνώσεως τοῦ Εὐαγγελίου ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἔθνεσιν εὔοσμον παρασχόμενος· σὺ καὶ νῦν τοῦτο τὸ μύρον δὸς ἐνεργὲς γενέσθαι ἐπὶ τῷ βαπτιζομένῳ, ὥστε βεβαίαν καὶ πάγιον ἐν αὐτῷ τὴν εὐωδίαν μεῖναι τοῦ Χριστοῦ σου, καὶ συναποθανόντα αὐτὸν συναναστῆναι καὶ συζῆσαι αὐτῷ.

Μετὰ τοῦτο, ἑστὼς προσευχέσθω τὴν εὐχὴν ἣν ἐδίδαξεν ἡμᾶς ὁ Κύριος· ἀναγκαίως δὲ τὸν ἀναστάντα δεῖ ἑστάναι καὶ προσεύχεσθαι, διὰ τὸ τὸν ἐγειρόμενον ὄρθιον εἶναι· καὶ αὐτὸς οὖν συναποθανὼν τῷ Χριστῷ καὶ συνεγερθεὶς, στηκέτω. Προσευχέσθω δὲ κατὰ ἀνατολάς· καὶ γὰρ καὶ τοῦτο γέγραπται ἐν τῇ δευτέρᾳ τῶν Παραλειπομένων, ὅτι μετὰ τὸ συντελεσθῆναι τὸν ναὸν τοῦ Κυρίου ὑπὸ τοῦ βασιλέως Σολομῶντος, ἐν αὐτῷ τῷ ἐγκαινισμῷ οἱ ἱερεῖς, καὶ οἱ Λευῖται, καὶ οἱ ψαλτῳδοὶ, μετὰ κυμβάλων καὶ ψαλτηρίων
O Lord God, the unbegotten, and Who hast no master, the Lord of all things, Who hast made the odour of the knowledge of the Gospel fragrant among all the nations: do Thou now also grant that this chrism may become effectual upon the one who is baptized, so that the fragrance of Thy Christ may remain firm and fixed in him, and that, having died with Him, he may rise with Him and live with Him. Let him say these things and what follows upon them. For this is the force of the laying on of hands for each one; for unless some such invocation is made over each of these by the pious priest, the one who is baptized goes down into water only, as the Jews do, and puts off only the filth of the body, not the filth of the soul. After this, let him stand and pray the prayer which the Lord taught us (Matt. 6:9); and of necessity he who has risen must stand and pray, because one who is raised up is upright; so let him also, having died with Christ and been raised with Him, stand. And let him pray towards the east; for this too is written in the second book of Paralipomena, that after the temple of the Lord had been completed by King Solomon, at its very dedication the priests, and the Levites, and the psalm-singers, with cymbals and psalteries

And indeed only the faithful were permitted to utter the Lord's Prayer; those not yet initiated were not permitted: as Theodoret expressly teaches, Compendium of Heretical Fables, book V, ch. 28, following Chrysostom on Matt. 6:12 and Homily 2 on the Second Epistle to the Corinthians, and as is gathered from Augustine's sermons.

Ἰάκωβος. Ex placitis veterum, Jacobus constitutus est Hierosolymorum episcopus, vel ab ipso Domino, vel ab apostolis, vel a Christo et apostolis, vel a Petro, aut denique a Petro, Jacobo et Joanne. Quod cum doctorum hominum disputationibus satis superque fuerit ventilatum, restat mihi perstringendus locus Chronici Alexandrini, p. 580 : Τῷ αὐτῷ ἔτει ὁ ἅγιος Ἰάκωβος ὁ ἀπόστολος καὶ πατριάρχης Ἱεροσολύμων, ὃν ἐνεθρόνισεν ὁ ἅγιος Πέτρος εἰς τόπον ἑαυτοῦ ἀνιὼν ἐπὶ τὴν Ῥώμην, ἐτελεύτησεν, καὶ παρέλαβε τὸ σχῆμα τῆς ἐπισκοπῆς Ἱεροσολύμων Συμεών, ὁ καὶ Σίμων, καὶ γέγονε πατριάρχης, qui sic interpungi debet, verti autem ad hunc modum : Eodem anno sanctus Jacobus apostolus, et patriarcha Hierosolymitanus, quem sanctus Petrus Romam petiturus, in locum suum in sede sua collocaverat, mortuus est : et dignitatem episcopalem Hierosolymorum suscepit Simeon, qui et Simon, factusque fuit patriarcha. COT.

Ἰάκωβος ["James"]. According to the opinions of the ancients, James was appointed bishop of Jerusalem either by the Lord himself, or by the apostles, or by Christ and the apostles, or by Peter, or finally by Peter, James and John. Since this has been aired enough and more than enough in the disputations of learned men, it remains for me to touch on a passage of the Chronicon Alexandrinum, p. 580 [Greek as above], which ought to be punctuated thus, and translated in this way: "In the same year Saint James, apostle and patriarch of Jerusalem, whom Saint Peter, when about to make for Rome, had placed in his own stead upon his see, died; and Simeon, who is also Simon, took up the episcopal dignity of Jerusalem and was made patriarch."

Συμεὼν ὁ τοῦ Κλεόπα. Qui et apud Graecos appellatus reperitur Σίμων, ὁ τοῦ Κλεοπᾶ, Κλεώπα, Κλεωπᾶ, Κλωπᾶ, Κλοπᾶ; apud Latinos, Simeon, aut Symeon, et Simon, filius Cleopae, vel Cleophae, vel Clopae. Hunc pseudo Dorotheus agens de apostolis vocat Judam, et eumdem facit cum Jacobo Alphaei : accepta forsan occasione, partim ex iis qui Simeoni Cleophae dant Judae nomen, in quam sententiam discedunt pseudo-Hippolytus in Catalogo apostolorum, auctor adnotationis De 12 apostolis adductae supra ad cap. ult., lib. II, et qui Indiculum apostolorum composuit initio Oecumenii exstantem; partim ex Epiphanio, apud quem sub finem tomi I, libri I, et in Anacephalaeosi, Judas dicitur is qui evangelistis est Jacobus Alphaei. Simon, inquit Dorotheus excusus, Judas cognominatus, qui et post Jacobum Hierosolymorum episcopus factus est (arbitror eum esse Jacobum Alphaei) sub Trajano rege cruci alligatus, occisus est in Ostracina civitate Aegypti Caesareae, cum annos vixisset 102. Dixi excusus, nam in Graece scripto habetur : Σίμων δὲ, ὁ ἐπικληθεὶς Ἰούδας, ἐν Ἐλευθεροπόλει, καὶ ἀπὸ Γάζης ἕως Αἰγύπτου κηρύξας τὸν Χριστόν, θάπτεται ἐν τῇ Ὀστρακίνῃ πόλει τῆς Αἰγύπτου, σταυρωθεὶς ἐπὶ Τραϊανοῦ τοῦ βασιλέως. Ast ubi de discipulis disserit, Simonem Cleopae cum Cleopa confundit, dicens : Cleopas, qui et Simon, consobrinus Domini fuit. Hic cum una cum Luca proficisceretur, Dominum post resurrectionem ex mortuis vidit, cumque illo locutus est, quemadmodum in Evangelio scribitur. Tandem alter Hierosolymorum episcopus factus est. Graece : Κλεώπας, ὁ καὶ Συμεὼν, ἀνεψιὸς τοῦ Κυρίου γενόμενος, καὶ δεύτερος ἐπίσκοπος Ἱεροσολύμων, ὃς καὶ ἶδεν αὐτὸν μετὰ τὸ ἀναστῆναι αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν. Erroris (continues)

"Symeon the son of Cleopas." He is also found called among the Greeks Σίμων, son of Κλεοπᾶς, Κλεώπας, Κλεωπᾶς, Κλωπᾶς, Κλοπᾶς; among the Latins, Simeon or Symeon, and Simon, son of Cleopas, or Cleophas, or Clopas. Pseudo-Dorotheus, treating of the apostles, calls him Judas, and makes him the same as James of Alphaeus: having perhaps taken occasion partly from those who give Simeon of Cleophas the name of Judas (to which opinion pseudo-Hippolytus goes over in the Catalogue of the Apostles, as do the author of the annotation On the 12 Apostles adduced above on the last chapter of book II, and the one who composed the Short List of the Apostles found at the beginning of Oecumenius), partly from Epiphanius, in whom, towards the end of volume I, book I, and in the Anacephalaeosis, the one who for the evangelists is James of Alphaeus is called Judas. "Simon," says the printed Dorotheus, "surnamed Judas, who also was made bishop of Jerusalem after James (I judge him to be James of Alphaeus), was bound to a cross under King Trajan and killed in Ostracina, a city of Egypt of Caesarea, when he had lived 102 years." I said "printed," for in the Greek manuscript it stands: "And Simon, who was surnamed Judas, having preached Christ in Eleutheropolis and from Gaza as far as Egypt, is buried in the city of Ostracine in Egypt, having been crucified under the emperor Trajan." But where he discusses the disciples, he confuses Simon of Cleopas with Cleopas, saying: "Cleopas, who is also Simon, was a cousin of the Lord. He, when he was journeying together with Luke, saw the Lord after the resurrection from the dead and spoke with him, as is written in the Gospel. At length he was made the second bishop of Jerusalem." In Greek: "Cleopas, who is also Symeon, being a cousin of the Lord and second bishop of Jerusalem, who also saw him after he rose from the dead." Of the error (continues)

"Judas of James." The third bishop of Jerusalem is named Judas by Eusebius, book I of the Chronicle, p. 80 of the latest edition; by Epiphanius, heresy 66, that of the Manichaeans, sect. 20; and by George Syncellus in the Chronographia. He is named Justus by the same Eusebius in the Chronicle and in the History, by both Nicephori, the chronographer and the historian, by the author of Rader's Chronicle, by Zonaras, and others. Judas of James, by no one that I know of, besides this author of the Constitutions and pseudo-Epiphanius in the unpublished Short List of the Apostles: "Judas, the brother of the Lord, after James his own brother and Symeon the cousin of the Lord. And leaving [perhaps λίπον for ἔλιπον, 'they left'] him too as bishop in Jerusalem for 7 years, he preached the Gospel of Christ in all Judaea and Samaria. He also composed a catholic epistle; and he formerly had two sons, James and Zoker; and he died gloriously in Jerusalem." Indeed Hegesippus, in Eusebius, History, book III, chs. 20 and 32, seems to stand against that opinion. For he intimates that Judas departed this life before Simeon. The same.

however, he has as companion not only the annotator cited, but also Symeon Metaphrastes, in the Chronicle not yet published: [Greek as above] That is: "Cleopas, cousin of the Lord, son-in-law of Joseph the just, and husband of Mary who was called the sister of the Lord's mother. At whose wedding Christ turned the water into wine. Who also, with Luke, saw the same Lord after the resurrection at the town of Emmaus. He was the second bishop of Jerusalem." And about Cleopas I will subjoin a small observation from the Royal book 2374, where it treats of the brothers of the Lord: "Cleopas was the son of Joseph the betrothed." The Greeks on 30 June: "Simon, who is also Symeon, who is also Cleopas, son of Joseph, brother of James." In the Royal manuscript 2423: "Symeon Cleopas." Now many indeed take Simon the apostle and Symeon the bishop for the same man. By others, however, our Symeon is called either the cousin on the father's side, or the brother, of James the Just, whom he succeeded. Remove a slight fault, δισκληθεὶς for διαβληθεὶς ["accused"], from the passage of the Chronicon Alexandrinum, p. 594, printed thus: "When Trajan stirred up a persecution against the Christians, Simon the son of Cleopas, who had become bishop of the Church in Jerusalem, bore witness, being 120 years old, under Atticus the consular, having been accused by those of the party of Corinthus [so printed] and of those called Nicolaitans," etc. Cotelier.

Of a bishop Theophilus, this one or another, to whom the evangelist Luke is supposed to have written, mention is made by Isidore, Origins, book VI, ch. 2. But Eusebius of Caesarea either did not read the apocryphal books of pseudo-Clement, or rather, having read them, scorned them; otherwise he would by no means have passed over such great ornaments of his own Church in his works. See in the third letter of the spurious Anacletus a false opinion, contrary to all antiquity, about Zacchaeus as first bishop of Antioch.

At in lib. 607, habetur tantum : Εὔοδος (Εὐόδιος, vol. 1026), ὃς μετὰ Πέτρον τὸν ἀπόστολον Ἀντιοχείας ἐπίσκοπος γέγονεν.

Jam vero ex apostolici Constitutoris verbis concludunt viri docti, Evodium et Ignatium simul fuisse Antiochiae episcopos, illum gentibus datum, hunc Judaeis; qui et cesserit primo, iterumque post illius obitum sederit; adeo ut ante et post Evodium sit Ignatius, secundus pariter ac tertius a Petro : similiterque de Timotheo et Joanne Ephesinis paulo post hocce in loco memoratis, quod simul episcopatum gesserint, affirmare debent.

VIII, cap. 1, necnon Thomas Metropolita Tyri protothronus Antiochiae, et Helias presbyter legatus Theodosii Hierosolymitani, in Definitione quae refertur actione 1 synodi 8, Ignatium appellant episcopum Antiochiae secundum, post Petrum? Cur Athanasius Epistola De synodis Arimini et Seleuciae, p. 922, eumdem vult post apostolos Antiochiae episcopum fuisse constitutum? Cur Chrysostomus laudans eum, Maximus ad caput 4 libri De divinis nominibus, et Hincmarus Remensis adversus Hincmarum Laudunensem, cap. 16, affirmant, in Petri discessu Ignatio Antiochiae Ecclesiam fuisse commissam? Cur a Petro Damiani, lib. I, epist. 20, scribitur quod Petrus postquam ipse se in Antiochena sede fidei posuit fundamentum, Ignatium vice sua mox ordinavit episcopum? Et quare a plerisque ordinator Ignatii dicitur Petrus? His objectionibus occurretur, si Evodii mors ponatur ante principis apostolorum mortem; juxta narrationem Joannis Malelae Antiocheni : Ἐν τῷ δὲ ἀνιέναι αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ Ῥώμῃ, διερχομένου αὐτοῦ δι' Ἀντιοχείας τῆς μεγάλης, συνέβη τελευτῆσαι Εὔοδον τὸν ἐπίσκοπον καὶ πατριάρχην Ἀντιοχείας, καὶ ἔλαβε τὸ σχῆμα τῆς ἐπισκοπῆς Ἀντιοχείας μεγάλης Ἰγνάτιος, τοῦ ἁγίου Πέτρου τοῦ ἀποστόλου χειροτονήσαντος αὐτὸν καὶ ἐνθρονίσαντος. Petro Romam contendente, et per Antiochiam magnam iter faciente, Evodum episcopum et patriarcham Antiochenum mori (continues)

"Euodius," etc. By many, Εὔοδος, less well. Likewise Εὔωδος and Εὐώδιος, as perhaps ought to be read in the oration On False Prophets, vol. VI of blessed Chrysostom, where now it stands: "Euodius, the fragrance (εὐωδία) of the Church." In the same way as in Philipp. 4:2 one finds Εὐοδίαν or Εὐωδίαν. For the Greeks, in their ritual and ecclesiastical books, and some Latins, take Evodius of Antioch and Paul's Evodia for one person; and it becomes likely that in that place of the Apostle certain copies, both Greek and Latin, presented "Evodius," not "Evodia." Certainly in Notker's Martyrology, in Henricus Canisius, vol. VI, there is printed: "The day before the Nones of May. The birthday of blessed Evodius, bishop of the Church of Antioch, who was the first to be ordained bishop there by the apostles. Of whom Paul himself, writing to the Philippians, says: 'I ask Evodius, and I beseech Syntyche, to be of the same mind in the Lord Jesus Christ.'" He whom they call Dorotheus, in the Royal codex 1789: "Euodus (ms. 2363, Euōdus), who became bishop in Antioch after Peter the apostle; of whom the apostle himself also makes mention." But in book 607 there is only: "Euodus (Euodius, vol. 1026), who became bishop of Antioch after Peter the apostle." [… head of the right note-column, above the foot image, not read …] appointed. By the rest this is attributed to Peter: by Theodoret, Pope Felix III, John Malalas in Ussher on the Letter of the false Ignatius to the Antiochenes, Hincmar, Peter Damian, etc. So too of Polycarp, ordained, appointed, placed by John or by the apostles, not a few testimonies of the ancients survive. Now from the words of the apostolic Constitutor learned men conclude that Evodius and Ignatius were bishops of Antioch at the same time, the former given to the gentiles, the latter to the Jews; and that the latter first gave way, and sat again after the other's death; so that Ignatius comes both before and after Evodius, at once second and third from Peter: and they must affirm likewise of Timothy and John at Ephesus, mentioned a little further on in this place, that they held the episcopate at the same time. This is certainly subtle and ingenious, and if you like even plausible; yet I am not easily persuaded of it. Because the Constitution does not openly say what they want: rather it seems to be explained by the common custom of succession. And because none of the ancients mentions either that "pair" (ξυνωρίς) or the giving way; whereas you may read everywhere that Ignatius succeeded Evodius. Why then, you will say, do Origen, Homily 6 on Luke, the Easterners in Facundus, book VIII, ch. 1, and also Thomas, metropolitan of Tyre, first see under Antioch, and Elias the presbyter, legate of Theodosius of Jerusalem, in the Definition reported in Action 1 of the Eighth Synod, call Ignatius the second bishop of Antioch, after Peter? Why does Athanasius, in the Letter On the Synods of Ariminum and Seleucia, p. 922, hold that he was appointed bishop of Antioch after the apostles? Why do Chrysostom in his praise of him, Maximus on chapter 4 of the book On the Divine Names, and Hincmar of Reims against Hincmar of Laon, ch. 16, affirm that at Peter's departure the Church of Antioch was committed to Ignatius? Why is it written by Peter Damian, book I, letter 20, that Peter, after he had himself laid the foundation of the faith in the see of Antioch, soon ordained Ignatius bishop in his own stead? And why is Peter called by most the ordainer of Ignatius? These objections will be met if the death of Evodius is placed before the death of the prince of the apostles; according to the narrative of John Malalas of Antioch: [Greek as above] "When Peter was hastening to Rome and making his way through Antioch the Great, it happened that Evodus, bishop and patriarch of Antioch, died (continues)

tamen socium habet non modo citatum adnotatorem, sed etiam Symeonem Metaphrastem, in Chronico nondum publici juris facto : Κλεώπας ὁ ἀνεψιὸς τοῦ Κυρίου, ὁ γαμβρὸς Ἰωσὴφ τοῦ δικαίου, ἀνὴρ δὲ Μαρίας τῆς καλουμένης ἀδελφῆς μητρὸς τοῦ Κυρίου· οὗτινος εἰς τὸν γάμον τὸ ὕδωρ οἶνον ἐποίησεν ὁ Χριστός. Ὃς καὶ ἴδεν αὐτὸν μετὰ τὴν ἀνάστασιν μετὰ Λουκᾶ εἰς πόλιν Ἐμμαοῦς. Οὗτος δεύτερος ἐπίσκοπος γέγονεν Ἱεροσολύμων. Id est : Cleopas consobrinus Domini, gener Josephi justi, et maritus Mariae quae vocabatur soror matris Domini. In cujus nuptiis aquam Christus vertit in vinum. Qui et cum Luca eumdem Dominum post resurrectionem vidit ad oppidum Emmaus. Is secundus exstitit episcopus Hierosolymorum. Ac de Cleopa, subjungam observatiunculam ex lib. Regio 2374, ubi de fratribus Domini : Ὁ Κλεόπας υἱὸς ἦν Ἰωσὴφ τοῦ μνήστορος. Cleopas filius erat Josephi sponsi. Graeci 30 Junii, Σίμων ὁ καὶ Συμεὼν, ὁ καὶ Κλεώπας, υἱὸς Ἰωσὴφ, ἀδελφὸς Ἰακώβου. In ms. Regio 2423, Συμεὼν ὁ Κλεόπας. Jam vero multi Simonem apostolum et Symeonem episcopum pro eodem habent. Ab aliis autem noster Symeon, Jacobi Justi cui successit, aut patruelis dicitur, aut frater. Tolle leve mendum, διακληθεὶς pro διαβληθεὶς, e Chronici Alexandrini loco, p. 594, sic edito : Τραϊανοῦ κατὰ Χριστιανῶν διωγμὸν κινήσαντος, Σίμων ὁ τοῦ Κλεώπα τῆς ἐν Ἱεροσολύμοις Ἐκκλησίας ἐπίσκοπος γενόμενος ἐμαρτύρησε, γενόμενος ἐτῶν ρκʹ, ἐπὶ Ἀττικοῦ ὑπατικοῦ διακληθεὶς ὑπὸ τῶν τῆς μοίρας Κορίνθου καὶ τῶν λεγομένων Νικολαϊτῶν, etc. Cot.

however, he has as companion not only the annotator cited, but also Symeon Metaphrastes, in a Chronicle not yet made public: "Cleopas, the cousin of the Lord, the son-in-law of Joseph the just, and husband of Mary who was called the sister of the Lord's mother; at whose wedding Christ made the water wine. Who also saw Him after the resurrection, with Luke, at the town of Emmaus. He became the second bishop of Jerusalem." That is: Cleopas, cousin of the Lord, son-in-law of Joseph the just, and husband of Mary who was called the sister of the Lord's mother. At whose wedding Christ turned water into wine. Who also with Luke saw the same Lord after the resurrection at the town of Emmaus. He was the second bishop of Jerusalem. And concerning Cleopas I shall subjoin a small observation from the Royal book 2374, where it treats of the brethren of the Lord: "Cleopas was the son of Joseph the betrothed." Cleopas was the son of Joseph the spouse. The Greeks on 30 June: "Simon, who is also Symeon, who is also Cleopas, son of Joseph, brother of James." In the Royal manuscript 2423: "Symeon who is Cleopas." Now indeed many hold Simon the apostle and Symeon the bishop to be the same man. By others, however, our Symeon is said to be either the cousin on the father's side, or the brother, of James the Just, whom he succeeded. Remove a slight fault, διακληθεὶς for διαβληθεὶς ["accused"], from the passage of the Alexandrian Chronicle, p. 594, published thus: "When Trajan had stirred up a persecution against the Christians, Simon the son of Cleopas, who had become bishop of the Church in Jerusalem, suffered martyrdom, being one hundred and twenty years old, under Atticus the consular, having been [accused] by those of the party of Corinthus [that is, Cerinthus] and those called Nicolaitans," etc. Cotelier.

On Zacchaeus there agree other writings likewise ascribed to Clement, and also Rufinus in the preface to the Recognitions, and Sirmond's writer on heresies, heresies 11, 13. On Cornelius, the Martyrologies, and also Hegesippus, in the treatise On the Distances of the Places of the Holy Land. Of a bishop Theophilus, moreover, this one or another, to whom the evangelist Luke is supposed to have written, mention is made by Isidore, Origines, book VI, chapter 2. But Eusebius of Caesarea either did not read the apocryphal books of pseudo-Clement, or rather, having read them, scorned them; otherwise he would by no means have passed over in his works such great ornaments of his own Church. See, in the third epistle of the spurious Anacletus, concerning Zacchaeus as first bishop of Antioch, an opinion false and contrary to all antiquity. In Metaphrastes the apostle Peter is said to have appointed Cornelius the centurion bishop in Ilium, a city of the Hellespont. The same [Cotelier].

(49) Εὐόδιος, etc. A multis Εὔοδος, minus bene. Item, Εὔωδος et Εὐώδιος, quemadmodum legi forte debeat oratione De pseudoprophetis, tom. VI B. Chrysostomi, ubi nunc, Εὐόδιος, ἡ εὐωδία τῆς Ἐκκλησίας. Pari modo, quo Philipp. IV, 2, habetur Εὐοδίαν, aut Εὐωδίαν. Etenim Graeci, in libris suis Ritualibus et ecclesiasticis, ac Latini nonnulli, Evodium Antiochenum et Evodiam Pauli pro uno homine ducunt : fitque verisimile eo Apostoli loco quaedam exemplaria cum Graeca tum Latina, praetulisse Evodium, non Evodiam. Certe in Martyrologio Notkeri, apud Henricum Canisium tom. VI, editum est : ii Non. Maii. Nativitas B. Evodii Antiochenae Ecclesiae episcopi, qui primus ab apostolis ibi est ordinatus episcopus. De quo ipse Paulus Philippensibus scribens ait : « Evodium rogo, et Syntychen deprecor, idipsum sapere in Domino Jesu Christo. » Is quem Dorotheum vocant in cod. Regio 1789. Εὔοδος (ms. 2363, Εὔωδος), ὃς μετὰ Πέτρον τὸν ἀπόστολον ἐπίσκοπος γέγονεν ἐν Ἀντιοχείᾳ· οὗ καὶ αὐτοῦ ὁ ἀπόστολος μέμνηται. At in lib. 607, habetur tantum : Εὔοδος (Εὐόδιος, vol. 1026), ὃς μετὰ Πέτρον τὸν ἀπόστολον Ἀντιοχείας ἐπίσκοπος γέγονεν. Ubi Latina versio impressa : Evodus. Meminit etiam hujus Paulus. Primus post Petrum apostolorum coryphaeum Antiochiae episcopus fuit. Apud Usuardum supple ex aliis Martyrologiis nomen Lucii illius, de quo Act. XIII, 1. Pridie Nonas Maii, Antiochiae S. Evodii; qui, ut B. Ignatius scribit, primus ibidem episcopus a SS. apostolis institutus est, quem in Actibus apostolorum B. Lucas commemorat. Sed ad rem veniamus. Evodium Antiochiae episcopum collocatum et ordinatum fuisse a Petro aiunt etiam Graeci, memoriam illius celebrantes, item Balsamon De patriarcharum privilegiis, et Suidas in Ναζιραῖος (sic cod. Regii, non Ναζηραῖος) et Χριστιανοί : ab apostolis generatim, Martyrologia, et pseudo-Ignatius ad Antiochenos 7. Ordinatorem autem Ignatii Paulum, alibi non memini me legere : tantum Chrysostomus in ejus martyris Encomio, Paulum quoque manus ipsi imposuisse innuit; atque Chrysostomum ex parte sequitur auctor Chronici Alexandrini appellati, p. 526, qui dicit Ignatium Antiochenae Ecclesiae episcopum ab apostolis fuisse constitutum. A caeteris id Petro tribuitur; a Theodorito, Felice PP. III, Joanne Malela apud Usserium, in falsi Ignatii Epistolam ad Antiochenos, Hincmaro, Petro Damiani, etc. Sic de Polycarpo per Joannem aut per apostolos ordinato, constituto, collocato, non pauca exstant antiquorum testimonia. Jam vero ex apostolici Constitutoris verbis concludunt viri docti, Evodium et Ignatium simul fuisse Antiochiae episcopos, illum gentibus datum, hunc Judaeis; qui et cesserit primo, iterumque post illius obitum sederit; adeo ut ante et post Evodium sit Ignatius, secundus pariter ac tertius a Petro : similiterque de Timotheo et Joanne Ephesinis paulo post hocce in loco memoratis, quod simul episcopatum gesserint, affirmare debent. Subtiliter profecto et ingeniose haec, ac si vis etiam verisimiliter; mihi tamen res non persuadetur facile. Quia quod volunt non dicit aperte Constitutio : imo magis videtur exponenda, per communem successionis morem. Et quia tum ξυνωρίδος istius, tum cessionis, antiquorum nullus meminit : successisse vero Ignatium Evodio passim legas. Cur ergo, inquies, Origenes, hom. 6, in Lucam, Orientales apud Facundum, lib. viii, cap. 1, necnon Thomas Metropolita Tyri protothronus Antiochiae, et Helias presbyter legatus Theodosii Hierosolymitani, in Definitione quae refertur actione 1 synodi 8, Ignatium appellant episcopum Antiochiae secundum, post Petrum? Cur Athanasius Epistola De synodis Arimini et Seleuciae, p. 922, eumdem vult post apostolos Antiochiae episcopum fuisse constitutum? Cur Chrysostomus laudans eum, Maximus ad caput 4 libri De divinis nominibus, et Hincmarus Remensis adversus Hincmarum Laudunensem, cap. 16, affirmant, in Petri discessu Ignatio Antiochiae Ecclesiam fuisse commissam? Cur a Petro Damiani, lib. i, epist. 20, scribitur quod Petrus postquam ipse se in Antiochena sede fidei posuit fundamentum, Ignatium vice sua mox ordinavit episcopum? Et quare a plerisque ordinator Ignatii dicitur Petrus? His objectionibus occurretur, si Evodii mors ponatur ante principis apostolorum mortem; juxta narrationem Joannis Malelae Antiocheni : Ἐν τῷ δὲ ἀνιέναι αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ Ῥώμῃ, διερχομένου αὐτοῦ δι' Ἀντιοχείας τῆς μεγάλης, συνέβη τελευτῆσαι Εὔοδον τὸν ἐπίσκοπον καὶ πατριάρχην Ἀντιοχείας, καὶ ἔλαβε τὸ σχῆμα τῆς ἐπισκοπῆς Ἀντιοχείας μεγάλης Ἰγνάτιος, τοῦ ἁγίου Πέτρου τοῦ ἀποστόλου χειροτονήσαντος αὐτὸν καὶ ἐνθρονίσαντος. Petro Romam contendente, et per Antiochiam magnam iter faciente, Evodum episcopum et patriarcham Antiochenum mori

(49) "Evodius," etc. By many Εὔοδος, less well. Likewise Εὔωδος and Εὐώδιος, as perhaps ought to be read in the oration On False Prophets, volume VI of blessed Chrysostom, where now there stands "Evodius, the sweet fragrance of the Church." In like manner as at Philippians 4:2 there is found Εὐοδίαν or Εὐωδίαν. For the Greeks, in their Ritual and ecclesiastical books, and some Latins, take Evodius of Antioch and Paul's Evodia for one person; and it becomes probable that at that place of the Apostle certain copies, both Greek and Latin, presented Evodius, not Evodia. Certainly in the Martyrology of Notker, in Henricus Canisius, volume VI, there is printed: "6 May. The birthday of blessed Evodius, bishop of the Church of Antioch, who was the first ordained bishop there by the apostles. Of whom Paul himself, writing to the Philippians, says: 'I ask Evodius, and I beseech Syntyche, to be of the same mind in the Lord Jesus Christ.'" He whom they call Dorotheus, in the Royal codex 1789: "Evodus (manuscript 2363, Εὔωδος), who after Peter the apostle became bishop in Antioch; of whom also the apostle himself makes mention." But in book 607 there is only: "Evodus (Εὐόδιος, volume 1026), who after Peter the apostle became bishop of Antioch." Where the printed Latin version has: Evodus. Paul also makes mention of him. He was the first bishop of Antioch after Peter, the leader of the apostles. In Usuard supply from other Martyrologies the name of that Lucius of whom Acts 13:1 speaks. "6 May, at Antioch, of Saint Evodius; who, as blessed Ignatius writes, was the first bishop established there by the holy apostles, whom blessed Luke commemorates in the Acts of the Apostles." But let us come to the matter. That Evodius was placed and ordained bishop of Antioch by Peter is said also by the Greeks, when celebrating his memory, likewise by Balsamon, On the Privileges of the Patriarchs, and by Suidas under Ναζιραῖος (so the Royal codices, not Ναζηραῖος) and Χριστιανοί; by the apostles in general, say the Martyrologies and pseudo-Ignatius to the Antiochenes 7. That Paul, however, was the ordainer of Ignatius I do not remember having read elsewhere: only Chrysostom, in the Encomium of that martyr, hints that Paul too laid hands on him; and Chrysostom is followed in part by the author of what is called the Alexandrian Chronicle, p. 526, who says that Ignatius was appointed bishop of the Church of Antioch by the apostles. By the rest this is attributed to Peter: by Theodoret, Pope Felix III, John Malalas in Ussher on the false Ignatius's Epistle to the Antiochenes, Hincmar, Peter Damian, etc. So concerning Polycarp, ordained, appointed, placed by John or by the apostles, not a few testimonies of the ancients are extant. Now indeed from the words of the apostolic Constitutor learned men conclude that Evodius and Ignatius were bishops of Antioch at the same time, the former given to the gentiles, the latter to the Jews; and that the latter first gave way, and sat again after the other's death; so that Ignatius is both before and after Evodius, at once second and third from Peter: and similarly concerning Timothy and John of Ephesus, mentioned a little later in this place, they are bound to affirm that they held the episcopate together. Subtly, to be sure, and ingeniously is this said, and if you like even plausibly; yet I am not easily persuaded of the thing. Because the Constitution does not say openly what they wish: rather it seems that it should be explained by the common manner of succession. And because none of the ancients mentions either that pairing or the giving way: whereas that Ignatius succeeded Evodius you may read everywhere. Why then, you will say, do Origen, homily 6 on Luke, the Orientals in Facundus, book VIII, chapter 1, and also Thomas, Metropolitan of Tyre, first-throned of Antioch, and Helias the presbyter, legate of Theodosius of Jerusalem, in the Definition which is reported in session 1 of the eighth synod, call Ignatius the second bishop of Antioch, after Peter? Why does Athanasius, in the Epistle On the Synods of Ariminum and Seleucia, p. 922, hold that the same man was appointed bishop of Antioch after the apostles? Why do Chrysostom in praising him, Maximus on chapter 4 of the book On the Divine Names, and Hincmar of Reims against Hincmar of Laon, chapter 16, affirm that at Peter's departure the Church of Antioch was committed to Ignatius? Why is it written by Peter Damian, book I, epistle 20, that Peter, after he himself had laid the foundation of the faith in the see of Antioch, presently ordained Ignatius bishop in his own stead? And why is Peter called by most the ordainer of Ignatius? These objections will be met if the death of Evodius is placed before the death of the prince of the apostles; according to the narrative of John Malalas of Antioch: "And as he was going up to Rome, while he was passing through Antioch the Great, it happened that Evodus, the bishop and patriarch of Antioch, died, and Ignatius received the office of the episcopate of Antioch the Great, the holy apostle Peter having ordained and enthroned him." As Peter was hastening to Rome and making his journey through Antioch the Great, that Evodus, bishop and patriarch of Antioch, died

(continued) [… above the foot image, not read …] …, following Eusebius, History IV, 20, is the sixth bishop of the Church of Antioch, [while] by the same Jerome, letter 151, to Algasia, question 6 (whom William of Tyre and Jacques de Vitry follow), he is called the seventh bishop of the Church of Antioch after the apostle Peter. Just as, according to Irenaeus, Pope Hyginus holds the eighth and the ninth place from the apostles among the Roman bishops. For the latter is what the blessed Martyr teaches, book I, ch. 28, and he draws into that manner of speaking St. Cyprian, letter 74, and St. Epiphanius, heresies 41, 42, in Petavius's edition pp. 300, 302, 364, in which last place you will find Ἀνικήτου wrongly written for Ὑγίνου. The former is handed down by Irenaeus, book III, chs. 3 and 4, although Eusebius, Church History, book IV, ch. 11, in the words of the latter chapter reports ἔνατος ["ninth"], whether deceived by corrupt copies or wishing to reconcile Irenaeus with Irenaeus; but that reading is cut down by the fact that in the same place the tenth place in the episcopate is assigned to Anicetus, between whom and Hyginus sat Pius; to say nothing of the most express testimony of chapter 3, reported also by Eusebius, book V, ch. 6. I make an end of this rather long note with an error easy to refute from what precedes: that of certain Greeks, I know not which, in Anastasius the Librarian, in the Scholium on the cited place of the Eighth Synod, that the apostles did not dare to lay hands further on Ignatius when he was being promoted to the headship of the Church; because, forsooth, they knew him to have been praised by the mouth of God and sanctified by his touch. Matt. 18:2: "And Jesus, calling a little child," etc., which boy the later Greeks pretend was Ignatius. Cotelier.

Ἀβίλλιος. Ita Nicephorus Callisti. Alii Ἀβίλιος. [Sic alter cod. Vind.] Sic Flaccus Avilius Eusebio Ἀβίλιος, Philoni est Ἀουίλλιος. In martyrio autem Petri Alexandrini Μίλιος legitur pro Ἀβίλιος, ingenti quidem corruptione, sed non insueta in hoc nomine. Nam Milo dicitur, lib. IX, cap. 19 Catalogi Petri de Natalibus; et ad calcem Regii ms. 2423, in Patriarcharum indiculo scriptum habetur Αἰμιλιανός. Quod sequitur hic de Luca ordinatore Avilii illustrari potest per titulum Evangelii secundum Lucam, in versione Syriaca : Evangelium Lucae evangelistae, quod protulit et evangelizavit Graece in Alexandria magna; et in Persica : Evangelium Lucae quod lingua Graeca Aegyptiaca in Alexandria scripsit.

Ἀβίλλιος ["Avilius"]. So Nicephorus Callisti. Others, Ἀβίλιος. [So the second Vienna codex.] Thus Flaccus Avilius is Ἀβίλιος for Eusebius, Ἀουίλλιος for Philo. In the Martyrdom of Peter of Alexandria, however, Μίλιος is read for Ἀβίλιος, a huge corruption indeed, but not an unusual one in this name. For he is called Milo in book IX, ch. 19 of the Catalogue of Petrus de Natalibus; and at the end of the Royal ms. 2423, in the Short List of Patriarchs, there is written Αἰμιλιανός. What follows here about Luke as the ordainer of Avilius can be illustrated by the title of the Gospel according to Luke in the Syriac version: "The Gospel of Luke the evangelist, which he brought forth and preached in Greek in Alexandria the Great"; and in the Persian: "The Gospel of Luke, which he wrote in the Greek Egyptian tongue in Alexandria."

[… above the foot image, not read …] of Clement, make Peter the consecrator. But Irenaeus, book III, ch. 3, writes that the apostles Peter and Paul handed over the office of the episcopate to Linus; while Zonaras and Balsamon, on the canons of Carthage, [write] that Linus was appointed pontiff by Peter. Now that Linus met death before Peter is affirmed by many, denied by Eusebius, Church History, book III, ch. 2 (a chapter which Rufinus left out in his translation, perhaps on purpose), and left undecided by Epiphanius, heresy 27, ch. 6. So much for Linus. His successor, in our author's mind, was Clement, ordained by Peter. And on the ordination indeed people commonly agree, and there is a notable testimony to this in Tertullian's book On the Prescription of Heretics, ch. 32. Others add, following pseudo-Clement's Letter to James, which Rufinus translated into Latin, and following the Epitome of the Recognitions, that this happened shortly before the leader of the apostles departed this life. Yet Epiphanius has a doubt much like the earlier one, whether Clement was consecrated pontiff by Peter or by Cletus. About the succession a greater difficulty arises: many doctors, and of much authority, place between Linus and Clement Cletus, or Anacletus, or Anencletus (for I add my vote to the opinion that affirms he is one and the same man); their column is led by the martyr Irenaeus. Nor is our author's side without great defenders, namely also Optatus, book II, and Augustine, letter 165; while pseudo-Tertullian in poem 3 against Marcion counts thus, "Linus, Cletus, Anacletus, Clement," but with little probability; and finally Tertullian in the place cited above, the false Clement already cited and in Nicephorus, History II, 35, Proclus in the treatise On the Tradition of the Divine Liturgy, Rufinus On the Adulteration of the Books of Origen, Jerome, Against Jovinian I, 7, and on chapter 52 of Isaiah, most of the Latins according to the same Jerome in the Catalogue where he treats of Clement (which passage and Photius's codices 112, 113 are to be compared), Eucherius in the Paraenetic Letter; Bede, History, book II, ch. 4; Aldhelm, On the Praises of Virginity, ch. 12; Walter of Laon, letter to Peter Abelard, in vol. II of the Spicilegium; the author of the Chronicle of the Bishops of Metz, a little after the beginning, in vol. VI of that same excellent collection; and Paschal II, Letter to Norigaud, which the most distinguished Étienne Baluze brought to light this year: all saying or intimating that Clement was Peter's first successor and the second pontiff from him; in accordance with the sepulchral inscription which survives in the Chronicle of Casauria, at the year (continues)

Ignatius nuncupari Antiochiae episcopus primus, aut secundus, aut tertius, diversa ratione : tertius, numeratis Petro ac Evodio; secundus, sive praeterito Evodio, quod episcopatum solus non tenuerit, sed tantum una cum Petro; sive omisso Petro, propter causam mox dicendam; primus, expunctis e catalogo Evodio ob prolatam rationem, et Petro tanquam apostolo : quandoquidem celebris mos est apostolos, pro potestate eorum ordinaria vel extraordinaria, episcopali vel apostolica, indiculis antistitum praefigere, aut ex iis eximere. Quo factum arbitror, ut Theophilus, qui Hieronymo in libro De viris illustribus, post Eusebium Hist. IV, 20, sextus Antiochensis Ecclesiae episcopus est, ab eodem Hieronymo epistola 151, ad Algasiam, quaest. 6 (quem sequuntur Guillelmus Tyrius et Jacobus de Vitriaco), Antiochenae Ecclesiae septimus post Petrum apostolum episcopus vocetur. Sicuti, juxta Irenaeum, Hyginus papa octavum et nonum locum ab apostolis inter Romanos episcopos obtinet. Posterius enim docet beatus Martyr, lib. I, cap. 28, in eamque loquendi formam ducit S.

came to pass: and Ignatius received the dignity of the episcopate of great Antioch, the same St Peter the apostle ordaining him and placing him in the see. For, that being granted, all the aforesaid things will give rise to no difficulty; and blessed Ignatius can be called first bishop of Antioch, or second, or third, on differing reckonings: third, when Peter and Evodius are counted; second, either when Evodius is passed over, because he did not hold the episcopate alone but only together with Peter, or when Peter is omitted, for the reason shortly to be stated; first, when Evodius is struck from the list for the reason already put forward, and Peter as being an apostle: since it is a well-known custom, according to the apostles' ordinary or extraordinary, episcopal or apostolic power, either to set them at the head of the lists of bishops or to take them out of these. Whence I judge it has come about that Theophilus, who for Jerome in the book On Illustrious Men, following Eusebius, Hist. IV, 20, is the sixth bishop of the Church of Antioch, is by the same Jerome in letter 151, to Algasia, question 6 (whom William of Tyre and James of Vitry follow), called the seventh bishop of the Church of Antioch after Peter the apostle. Just as, according to Irenaeus, Pope Hyginus holds both the eighth and the ninth place from the apostles among the Roman bishops. For the latter the blessed Martyr teaches in book I, ch. 28, and he draws into that manner of speaking St Cyprian, letter 74, and St Epiphanius, heresies 41, 42, in the Petavian edition pp. 300, 302, 364, in which last place you will find "of Anicetus" wrongly written for "of Hyginus". The former, however, is handed down by Irenaeus, book III, chs 3 and 4, although Eusebius, Hist. eccl. book IV, ch. 11, in the words of the later chapter reports "ninth", whether deceived by corrupt copies or wishing to reconcile Irenaeus with Irenaeus; but that reading is destroyed by the fact that in the same place the tenth place in the episcopate is assigned to Anicetus, between whom and Hyginus sat Pius; to say nothing of the most express testimony of chapter 3, reported also by Eusebius, book V, ch. 6. I make an end of a rather long note, [remarking] an error easy to refute by what is said above: that of certain Greeks, I know not which, in Anastasius the Librarian, in the Scholium on the cited place of the eighth synod, that the apostles did not dare to lay hands further on Ignatius when he was being promoted to the headship of the Church; namely, as one whom they knew to have been praised by the mouth of God and sanctified by His touch.

In agreement with these titles I have found scholia in codices 1489 and 1782 of the Royal Library: "It was written in Greek fifteen years after the Ascension of the Lord, at great Alexandria." The Gospel of Luke was written in Greek fifteen years after the Ascension of the Lord, in great Alexandria. And: "The Gospel according to Luke was written in Syriac at great Alexandria fifteen years after the Ascension of the Lord." See the memorandum on that evangelist at the end of Oecumenius. THE SAME.

(52) Τῆς δὲ Ῥωμαίων Ἐκκλησίας. Ancient and more recent writers alike place Linus as the first pontiff of the Roman Church after Peter: that he was the son of Claudia, of her (as it seems) who is joined with him in the greeting at 2 Tim. 4:21, and that he was ordained by Paul, no one else says, if I remember rightly: nay rather, he who composed the Liber pontificalis, and Nicephorus, and others, though writers of small credit, make Peter the consecrator of Linus, as of Cletus or Anacletus and of Clement. But Irenaeus, book III, ch. 3, writes that the apostles Peter and Paul handed over to Linus the office of the episcopate; while Zonaras and Balsamon, on the canons of Carthage, [write] that Linus was appointed pontiff by Peter. Now that Linus met his death before Peter is affirmed by many, denied by Eusebius, Hist. eccl., book III, ch. 2 (a chapter which Rufinus omitted in his translation, perhaps on purpose), and left undecided by Epiphanius, heresy XXVII, ch. 6. So much for Linus. His successor, in the mind of our author, was Clement, ordained by Peter. And as to the ordination, indeed, there is general agreement, and a notable testimony to this fact stands in Tertullian's book On the Prescription of Heretics, ch. 32. Others add, following the pseudo-Clement's Letter to James, which Rufinus translated into the Latin tongue, and following the Epitome of the Recognitions, that this took place shortly before the chief of the apostles departed from life. Yet Epiphanius has a doubt much like the former one, whether Clement was consecrated pontiff by Peter or by Cletus. Concerning the succession a greater difficulty arises: many teachers, and of great authority, placing between Linus and Clement Cletus, or Anacletus, or Anencletus (for I add my vote to the opinion which affirms that he is one and the same); whose column the martyr Irenaeus leads; while the side of our author is not destitute of great defenders either, as being that of Optatus also, book II, and of Augustine, letter 165; the Pseudo-Tertullian, however, counting thus in poem 3 against Marcion, Linus, Cletus, Anacletus, Clement, but with little probability; and lastly Tertullian in the place above, the false Clement already cited and also in Nicephorus, Hist. II, 35, Proclus in the treatise On the Tradition of the Divine Mass, Rufinus On the Adulteration of the Books of Origen, Jerome, Against Jovinian I, 7, and on chapter 52 of Isaiah, most of the Latins according to the same Jerome in the Catalogue where he treats of Clement, which place and Photius's codices 112, 113 are to be compared, Eucherius in the Paraenetic Letter; Bede, Hist., book II, ch. 4; Aldhelm, On the Praises of Virginity, ch. 12; Walter of Laon, in the letter to Peter Abelard, in volume II of the Spicilegium, the author of the Chronicle of the Bishops of Metz, a little after the beginning, in volume VI of the same excellent collection, and Paschal II, in the Letter to Norigaudus, which that most distinguished man Stephanus Baluzius has brought to light this year, saying or implying that Clement was the first successor of Peter, and the second pontiff from him; according to the sepulchral inscription which survives in the Chronicle of Casauria at the year

1103, Spicilegii laudati tomo V, p. 475 : Hic jacet sanctus Clemens Petri discipulus, et a Petro papa secundus, qui jussu Trajani imperatoris, anchora ad ejus collum ligata, fuit in pelago mersus.

Nec velim dictam cessionem, si vera est, ad ignominiam cum Clementis, tum Principis apostolorum trahi, quasi reliqui apostoli illius electionem ab hoc factam improbaverint, ut pudore omni abjecto dicitur a Joanne Antiocheno, in opusculo quod continet Appendix concilii Basileensis; sed omnino accipi cum Epiphanio in laudem et Petri, qui tantum virum promoverit, et Clementis, qui humiliter deposuerit susceptum officium; necnon in opprobrium quorumdam seditiosorum, cum quibus contendere benigne noluerint sanctissimi homines.

(continued) 1103, in volume V of the Spicilegium already cited, p. 475: "Here lies Saint Clement, disciple of Peter, and the second pope from Peter, who by order of the emperor Trajan, an anchor having been tied to his neck, was drowned in the sea." This opinion can stand both with the view of the Constitutor, if Linus is believed to have been passed over because he died while Peter was still alive; and with the view of Irenaeus, whether Linus and Cletus are thought to have been omitted because, according to the judgement of some of the ancients, they held the episcopate of the city together with Peter and under Peter (on which matter elsewhere); or whether they are reckoned as placed after Clement, according to the opinion found in Epiphanius, that Clement, ordained by Peter, gave way to Linus, that Cletus succeeded Linus, and Clement succeeded Cletus, having resumed the pontificate. And provided that this giving way is placed after the death of Linus, together with the resumption once Cletus was dead, the two opinions, that of the Constitutor and that of Irenaeus, will be reconciled by arranging the series and reckoning in this way: Peter, Linus, Clement (placed here by our author on account of the ordination, passed over by the martyr on account of the giving way), Cletus, the same Clement (who obtained that place in Irenaeus because of his resumption and exercise of the episcopate). Nor would I wish the said giving way, if it is true, to be turned to the dishonour either of Clement or of the Prince of the apostles, as though the other apostles had disapproved the election of the one made by the other, as is said, with all shame cast off, by John of Antioch in the little work contained in the Appendix to the Council of Basel; but altogether to be taken, with Epiphanius, to the praise both of Peter, who promoted so great a man, and of Clement, who humbly laid down the office he had received; and also to the reproach of certain seditious men, with whom those most holy men in their kindness were unwilling to contend. Further, the celebrated chapter of the Panarion, often mentioned in this note, seems to be redundant by one syllable, the conjunction καί, in these words: "The succession of the bishops in Rome has this order: Peter and Paul, Linus and Cletus, Clement"; for that Epiphanius wrote "Linus, Cletus" is urged by what stands at the beginning of the chapter: "for in Rome the first were Peter and Paul, themselves apostles and bishops, then Linus, then Cletus, then Clement," and, after much intervening, "Linus and Cletus, who were bishops for about twelve years each after the death of Saint Peter and Paul." Finally I ought not to be silent about a supplement that I found in manuscript codices of the Scholia of Maximus, on ch. 5 of the book On the Divine Names, where, concerning Clement, after the words "of whom the Apostle makes mention," there is this: "who also was bishop in Rome, third from Saint Peter."

At Hieronymus his postremis non perpensis, quod de nomine Joannis in genere dictum erat, ad Joannem apostolum et evangelistam detorsit, scribens libro De viris illustribus : Joannis presbyteri et hodie alterum sepulcrum apud Ephesum ostenditur : et nonnulli putant duas memorias ejusdem Joannis evangelistae esse. Alia conjectura seu potius mera divinatione, ex Nicephori Historia lib. IV, cap. 14, putabitur Joannes Senior idem esse cum anonymo illo seniore seu presbytero apostolico, cujus verba non raro laudat B. Irenaeus. Quod vero tradit catholicus noster doctor Joannem minorem a majori accepisse episcopatus ordinem, verisimile admodum fit; quoniam, ut refertur, totius Asiae Ecclesias potissimumque Ephesinam rexit theologus.

"And of Ephesus." That Timothy was made by Paul the first bishop of the Ephesians, or, as Theodoret says following Scripture, of the Asians, we have received on the testimony of many of the ancients; that a John was set over the same Church by John the apostle, not so. This John is indeed, by my conjecture, that John the presbyter in Eusebius, and from him in Jerome. Yet the mind of the Caesarean was not grasped by that holy doctor. He [Eusebius], in book III of the History, ch. 39, approves the account of those who had said that two men called by the same name of John lived in Asia, and that there are two tombs at Ephesus, "and each is to this day said to be John's", and that both are to this day named as John's. But Jerome, not having weighed these last words, twisted what had been said of the name of John in general to John the apostle and evangelist, writing in the book On Illustrious Men: "Of John the presbyter another tomb is shown at Ephesus even today; and some think that there are two memorials of the same John the evangelist." By another conjecture, or rather by mere divination, from the History of Nicephorus, book IV, ch. 14, John the Elder will be thought to be the same as that anonymous elder or apostolic presbyter whose words blessed Irenaeus not seldom cites. But as to what our catholic doctor hands down, that the lesser John received the order of the episcopate from the greater, it becomes very probable; since, as is reported, the Theologian ruled the Churches of all Asia and above all that of Ephesus. For the rest, I do not know whether it came about through the sameness of name that the apostle John was held to be Timothy's successor, in Metaphrastes in Surius at 24 January, and in the Martyrdom of Timothy, codex 254 of Photius's Bibliotheca. The same.

Σμύρνης ["of Smyrna"]. A suspicion may arise that one of these two Aristons is the celebrated Aristion of Papias of Hierapolis, in Eusebius, Jerome (in whom the Gembloux codex has it written "Ariston"), and the Martyrologies. After the second Ariston one may count Bucolus, and then Polycarp, set over the Smyrnaeans by the apostle John, as the ancients say, who therefore could have been mentioned in this place. But the reckoning of the Greeks at 6 February has it that Polycarp was the second bishop of the Smyrnaeans, after Bucolus the first. Read the Suda under Πολύκαρπος. I pass over the Apelles of that ill-fabricating and ill-fabricated Dorotheus, bishop of Smyrna before Polycarp. The same.

By the fable-teller Dorotheus, Lucius (two mss.: Λουκᾶς), Paul's [Lucius], is placed as bishop in Laodicea of Syria.

<!-- note: This page (cols 1053-1054) holds NO editors' prose proper (no argumentum, synopsis or monitum). Below eight lines of the author's Greek (col 1053) and its Latin (col 1054) stand the one-line numbered footnote 80 (full width), the heading VARIORUM NOTAE, and the variorum notes in two note-columns; these are what is set above, as the column's task line asked. All three bands were read and they overlap, so no gap remains inside the foot of this page. The left note-column opens mid-word ("num 1103"), continuing note (52) from the previous page: its numeral is NOT printed on this page; it is printed on page 525 (col 1052), where the broken word is set whole, so the tail "num" is not set here (QA Q3b). That note ends "COT." at the foot of the left note-column's upper part. Numerals actually seen on this page: (53), (54), (55), (56), (57), (58), and footnote 80. Note (53) begins near the foot of the left note-column and continues at the head of the right one; (54)-(57) stand whole in the right note-column; (58) begins in the last two lines of the right note-column and breaks off mid-word ("φερόμε-"), running over to the next page. The calls (53)-(58) all stand in the Greek of col 1053; the call 80 stands in the Latin of col 1054. Italic markup removed (unit rule; QA Q3b). Readings to recheck at higher zoom: "Τοῦ παναρίου" (initial of the second word, broken across a line end); the doubled Greek epithet of Dorotheus in (54), printed twice with differing accent; "theologus" in (53) (first letter faint); "hujus" in (56) (first letter faint); the numeral of the reference footnote (80 here, 50 in the apparatus line below: first digit not certain at this resolution, UNSURE). QA Q3b could not see the head of the right note-column (the middle of note 53, "apud Ephesum sepulcra" to "non raro laudat") beyond its line-openings; that stretch stands as first read. --> <!-- Q8: (1) Footnotes copy of (53) completed from this section (see the comment there); Q8, like Q3b, saw only the line-beginnings of the head of the right note-column, and they agree. (2) The small-capital numeral after "ad cap." in the tail of (52) is set as a capital in this section too. (3) Still UNSURE after Q8: the first digit of the reference footnote's numeral (80 or 50); left as it was in both places. -->

νον ἐν ἑβδόμῳ βιβλίῳ τῶν ἀποστολικῶν διαταγμάτων ὁ Διονύσιος ἐπίσκοπος ὑπὸ Παύλου τοῦ Χριστοφόρου τῶν ἐν Ἀθήνῃσι πιστευσάντων. Et ad § V epistolae 8 : Ἱεροθέτην δὲ καλεῖ τὸν ἅγιον ἀπόστολον Παῦλον, ὡς χειροτονήσαντα (hoc est ad verbum, eum qui suffragio suo detulerat, et in manus tradiderat) αὐτῷ τὴν ἀρχιερωσύνην τῆς Ἐκκλησίας τῶν Ἀθηνῶν, καθὼς ἐν ταῖς ἱεραῖς τῶν ἀποστόλων γέγραπται διαταγαῖς. Verum aperte non dicitur in Constitutione, Dionysium a Paulo fuisse ordinatum; nec necesse est ut cuncta quae sequuntur postremum ὑπὸ Παύλου ad Paulum referantur, sufficit ut ad aliquem ex apostolis. Pari modo verbo Dionysii Corinthii apud Eusebium non intelligentes Rufinus et Nicephorus eamdem Dionysii Areopagitae ab apostolo promotionem ex eo retulerunt. Atque haec cum ita se habeant, non negaverim tamen rem ipsam; quam scio et verisimilem, et a multis mediae infimaeque aetatis scriptoribus traditam. Vide subsequentia. COT.

(continued) -ted in the seventh book of the Apostolic Constitutions, Dionysius, as bishop of those in Athens who had believed, by Paul the Christ-bearer." And on § 5 of letter 8: "He calls the holy apostle Paul 'hierothetes' [giver of the sacred office], as having ordained (that is, word for word, 'him who by his vote had conferred and delivered into his hands') to him the high-priesthood of the Church of the Athenians, as is written in the sacred Constitutions of the apostles." But it is not openly said in the Constitution that Dionysius was ordained by Paul; nor is it necessary that everything following the last ὑπὸ Παύλου ["by Paul"] be referred to Paul; it is enough that it be referred to some one of the apostles. In like manner Rufinus and Nicephorus, not understanding a word of Dionysius of Corinth in Eusebius, reported from it the same promotion of Dionysius the Areopagite by the apostle. And though these things are so, I would nevertheless not deny the fact itself, which I know to be both probable and handed down by many writers of the middle and latest age. See what follows. Cotelier.

You will find this Maro or Maroon wrongly called Marcus in the fragment that survives under the name of Sophronius of Jerusalem in vol. VII of the Bibliotheca Patrum, which, as learned men have not noticed, was excerpted by way of an epitome from the Commentary on the Contests, Journeys and Consummation of Saints Peter and Paul in Surius at 29 June.

Ἄρχιππος. Coloss. IV, 16 : Et cum lecta fuerit apud vos Epistola haec, facite ut et in Laodicensium Ecclesia legatur; et ea quae Laodicensium est, ut vobis legatur. Et dicite Archippo : Vide ministerium quod accepisti in Domino, ut illud impleas. Quo in loco interpretando variantes antiqui, alii Archippum Colossensium Ecclesiae addixerunt, ut episcopum quidam, ut diaconum nonnulli, ut clericum aliqui; alii Laodicensium fecere antistitem, quod cernere est apud Theodoritum ad eum textum. In ms. Regio 1253, post Epistolam ad Philemonem scriptum reperi : Πρὸς Φιλήμονα καὶ Ἀπφίαν δεσπότας Ὀνησίμου, καὶ πρὸς Ἄρχιππον διάκονον τῆς ἐν Κολοσσαῖς Ἐκκλησίας, ἐγράφη ἀπὸ Ῥώμης διὰ Ὀνησίμου οἰκέτου. στίχ. λζ'. ID.

Ἄρχιππος ["Archippus"]. Coloss. 4:16[–17]: "And when this Epistle has been read among you, see that it is read also in the Church of the Laodiceans; and that the one which is of the Laodiceans be read to you. And say to Archippus: Look to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you fulfil it." In interpreting this place the ancients differ: some assigned Archippus to the Church of the Colossians, certain as bishop, several as deacon, some as a cleric; others made him bishop of the Laodiceans, which may be seen in Theodoret on that text. In the Royal ms. 1253, after the Epistle to Philemon, I found written: "To Philemon and Apphia, the masters of Onesimus, and to Archippus, deacon of the Church in Colossae, it was written from Rome by the hand of Onesimus the servant. 37 lines." The same.

Φιλήμων ["Philemon"]. When Philemon received the apostle's letter he was not a cleric, nor endowed with any dignity of ecclesiastical ordination, as Ambrosiaster testifies. But he is believed to have been made bishop afterwards: of the Colossians, says the Constitutor; of Gaza, Dorotheus invents. The same.

Huic capiti de oratione matutina, doxologia magna, et hymno angelico, unice splendorem afferent verba tractatus De virginitate in Athanasio, p. 1057 : Πρὸς ὄρθρον δὲ τὸν ψαλμὸν τοῦτον λέγετε· Ὁ Θεός, ὁ Θεός μου, πρὸς σὲ ὀρθρίζω· ἐδίψησέ σε ἡ ψυχή μου· διάφαυμα [l. διὰ φαῦμα] δέ· Εὐλογεῖτε πάντα τὰ ἔργα Κυρίου τὸν Κύριον· Δόξα ἐν ὑψίστοις Θεῷ, καὶ ἐπὶ γῆς εἰρήνη, ἐν ἀνθρώποις εὐδοκία· ὑμνοῦμέν σε, εὐλογοῦμέν σε, προσκυνοῦμέν σε· καὶ τὰ ἑξῆς. Quae sic verto : Matutino autem tempore hunc psalmum dicite : « Deus, Deus meus, ad te de luce vigilo; sitivit te anima mea (Psal. LXII); » diluculo autem : « Benedicite omnia opera Domini Domino (Dan. III, 57). Gloria in excelsis Deo, et in terra pax, in hominibus bona voluntas (Luc.

On this chapter, concerning the morning prayer, the great doxology, and the angelic hymn, singular light will be shed by the words of the treatise On Virginity in Athanasius, p. 1057 [Greek as above, with the bracketed "read διὰ φαῦμα"]. Which I translate thus: "And in the morning say this psalm: 'O God, my God, to Thee do I watch at break of day; my soul hath thirsted for Thee' (Ps. 62); and at dawn: 'Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord' (Dan. 3:57). 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will among men' (Luke 2:14); we praise Thee, we bless Thee, we adore Thee," and the rest. Let the ritual books be consulted.

The column begins mid-sentence. Q4b: the calls (66), (67), (68) are seen in the column (after Θεοῦ, Ἑσπερινός, παναγίῳ); (69) and (70) stand at the second δι' οὗ and the second Ἀμήν (end of ch. ΜΘʹ). The last lines of note (65), carried over from the preceding page, open the left note-column and are not set in this file.

<!-- Greek left (1057), Latin right (1058). Two layers: the reference line (superscript numerals), then the VARIORUM NOTAE (numerals in parentheses; their calls stand in the Greek). Under the notes, below a full-width rule, the page prints the chapter list of Book VIII (Greek and Latin): that is not a footnote and is not set here. The top line of the Latin foot image is half cut; the anchors of 88 and 89 are read from it and marked as such. Note (67) is a note on the prayer as a whole and has no lemma. --> 85 ‹anchor not visible› · call in col 1058 Psal. CXII, 1.

  • running head: [...]TIS I ROM. PONT. OPERA DUBIA. 1060 (left part of the head lies outside the image)
  • marginal letters: A ‹ιʹ. Προσφώνησις ὑπὲρ τῶν πιστῶν›; B ‹κʹ. Ἐπίκλησις ἐπὶ χειροτονίας›; C ‹λʹ. Τοῦ αὐτοῦ περὶ ἀπαρχῶν›; D ‹μʹ. Ἐπίκλησις ἐπὶ ἀπαρχῶν›
  • old-edition numerals: (none)
  • other: This column is NOT the end of Book VII. It holds the Greek list of chapter headings (capitula) of BOOK VIII, entries ιʹ–μζʹ, continuing from an earlier column; it belongs with unit constitutiones_8. On this page the Greek stands in the RIGHT (even) column and the Latin version of the list in the left (col 1059), the reverse of the usual layout. Numeral sign set as ʹ (U+0374). In μγʹ the first letters of ὠφελοῦσι are damaged at the line end (read ⟨ὠφε⟩-λοῦσι); the word is not in doubt. Rendering of ἐντολαί in μγʹ is literal (UNSURE of the sense intended: bequests/charges left by the dead).
