Introductory Notice to Apocrypha of the New Testament.
[2092] Four of themss. and the Latin version here add: For assuredly I have for a long time past received letters from our bishops throughout all the world about the things done and said by him.
[2093] i.e., mysteries.
[2094] Or, to nothing.
[2096] Or, chosen.
[2097] The text has κινάρας, artichokes, for which I have read κορυνας, clubs. Sea-fights were a favourite spectacle of the Roman emperors (Suet., Nero, xii.; Claud., xxi.; Dom., iv.). The combatants were captives, or persons condemned to death (Dion Cass., lx. 33).
[2098] For the episode of Perpetua, contained in three of the Greek mss., but not in the Latin versions, see the end of this book.
[2099] i.e., head uppermost.
[2100] One of the mss. here inserts: Do not be hard upon him, for he is the servant of this father Satan; but I must fulfil the command of my Lord.
[2101] Some of themss. insert: Until I bring thee into my Father’s house.
[2102] Several of themss. here add: I commend unto Thee the sheep whom Thou didst entrust unto me, that they may not feel that they are without me, having for a shepherd Thee, through whom I have been able to feed this flock.
[2103] In three of the Greek mss., but not in the Latin versions, the story of Perpetua is here continued.
[2104] Severalmss. here add: And the people of the Romans ran, and took them into the place called the Catacombs on the Appian Way, at the third milestone; and there the bodies of the saints were guarded a year and six months, until places were built for them in which they might be put. And the body of St. Peter was put into the Vatican, near the place for the sea-fights, and that of St. Paul into the Vostesian (or Ostesian) Way, two mile from the city; and in these places, through their prayers, many good deeds are wrought to the faithful in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
[2105] This is a slip for Nomentan.
[2106] Or, persisted in staying with Paul.
[2107] Or, how they.
[2108] Or, healthy.
[2110] Comp. 1 Cor. vi. 18, 19.
[2111] Comp. Rom. xii. 2.
[2112] Comp. 1 Cor. vii. 29.
