[3153] Ascribed by Justin to Sophocles.
[3154] Adopting the reading κεῖνος instead of καινός in the text.
[3155] Quoted in Exhortation, p. 193.

[3158] [On the Orphica, see Lewis’ Plato cont. Ath., p. 99.]
[3161] For οὐρανοὺς ὸρᾶς we read ἀνθρώπους (which is the reading of Eusebius); and δρῇς (Sylburgius’s conjecture), also from Eusebius, instead of ἃ θέμις ἀθέμιστα.
[3165] Iliad, viii. 69.
[3166] These lines of Æschylus are also quoted by Justyn Martyr (De Monarchia, vol. i. p. 290). Dread force, ἄπλατος ὁρμή: Eusebius reads ὁρμῇ, dative. J. Langus has suggested (ἄπλαστος) uncreated; ἄπληστος (insatiate) has also been suggested. The epithet of the text, which means primarily unapproachable, then dread or terrible, is applied by Pindar to fire.

[3170] A game in which a potsherd with a black and white side was cast on a line; and as the black or white turned up, one of the players fled and the other pursued.
[3171] Eusebius has κρίνει, which we have adopted, for κρίνειν of the text.
[3172] Plato, Rep., book vii.
[3173] [Pearson, On the Creed, p. 47.]
