[2474] The passage, as far as to “rise again the third day from the dead,” is generally marked with inverted commas, and Mai remarks that it had been already brought to light by him under the name of the same Alexander, in the Spicileg. Roman., vol. iii. p. 699, amongst some extracts of the Fathers from the Arabic Vatican Codex, 101, in which is contained the celebrated Monophysite work entitled Fides Patrum. It is established therefore that this discourse was written in Greek by Alexander, and afterwards translated not only into the Syriac, but also into the Arabic language. [I have made this passage into a paragraph distinct from the rest.]
[2477] [Vol. iii. 58, this series. The patristic testimony is overwhelming and sufficient. See Africanus, p. 136, supra, and a full discussion of his statement in Routh, R. S., ii. p. 477.]
[2478] Hades.
VI.—The Addition in the Codex, with a Various Reading.
[2479] Here, again, we have this fact insisted on. See p. 301, note 4.
[2480] See, against Petavius and others, Dr. Holmes’s learned note, vol. iii. p. 628, Elucidation I.
[2481] Vol. iv. p. 343, this series; also Elucidation II. p. 382.
[2482] On Tertullian’s orthodoxy, see notes, vol. iii. p. 600, etc.
[2483] When we consider his refinements about the words substance, idea, image, etc., in the dispute with Celsus, while yet these terms were not reduced to precision, we cannot but detect his effort to convey an orthodox notion. Observe Dr. Spencer’s short but useful note, vol. iv. p. 603, note 3.
[2484] See vol. iv. p. 382, Elucidations I., II., and III.
II. (Since the body of the Catholic Church is one, etc., p. 296.)
[2485] Vol. v. p. 390, this series.
