Introductory Notice to Archelaus.
[2144] The text is, “aliis dictis proposuit adversariis.” Perhaps we may read, “aliorum dicta,” etc.
[2145] The text is, “necessarium sermonem uberemque salutaris sermo præstavit.” May it be = the word of salvation furnished the word which was requisite, etc.?
[2146] The text is, “per parvulam divitis et pauperis naturam sine radice et sine loco rebus supervenientem unde pullulaverit indicat.” The reading seems defective. But the general intention of this very obscure and fragmentary sentence appears to be as given above. So Neander understands it as conveying a figurative description of the two principles of light and darkness, expressed in the Zoroastrian doctrine immediately cited,—the rich being the good principle, and the poor the evil. He also supposes the phrase “without root and without place” to indicate the “absoluteness of the principle, that springs up all at once, and mixes itself up with the development of existence.”—See Church History, ii. 51 (Bohn). Routh confesses his inability to understand what can be meant by the term parvulam, and suggests parabolam.
[2147] Caput.
[2148] Alium.
[2149] Routh adopts the interrogative form here, so as to make the connection stand thus: But is this the only topic which the book contains? Does it not also contain another discussion, etc.?
[2150] Versibus.
[2151] Varietate.
[2152] By the barbari here are evidently meant the Persians.
[2153] Principles.
[2154] The text is, “non quæ esse dicebantur.” Routh proposes, “non quæ factæ, or genitæ, esse dicebantur,” = which were not declared to have been made.
A Fragment of the Same Disputation.
[2155] From Cyril of Jerusalem, Catecheses, vi. § 27–29. [And see the Introductory Notice, p. 175.]
[2156] Reading ὅπλον δικαιοσύνης. Others read ὅπλῳ = Archelaus met him with the buckler of righteousness.
