Introductory Notice to Constitutions of the Holy Apostles.
[3756] Num. xvi.; 2 Chron. xxvi.
[3757] Num. xii. 7, 8; Ex. xxxiii. 11, 17
[3761] 1 Cor. xiv. 33. [See p. 500, note 6, infra.]
[3762] Acts ix. 5. [See Acts xxvi. 14, where the clause is genuine. In Acts ix. 5 it is a later interpolation of the Vulgate and Erasmus.—R.]
[3763] The Coptic adds, “the Son of God, and true God.”
[3764] Ex. xxviii. and Ex. xxix.
[3765] The Coptic adds “God.”
[3767] One V. ms. has the following note: “That he who baptized the Ethiopian eunuch was not the Apostle Philip, but one of those who were chosen along with St. Stephen to be deacons, and who also had four daughters, as says Luke in the Acts.” [See pp. 452, 492, supra.]
[3768] Acts viii. and Acts ix.
The Ecclesiastical Canons of the Same Holy Apostles.
[3769] [The brief notes on these canons have been mainly derived from the text and notes appended to Hefele’s History of Christian Councils, vol. i. pp. 450–492, Edinburgh translations.—R.]
[3770] [Comp. Apostolic Constitutions, iii. 20, viii. 4, 27, on these two canons.—R.]
[3771] [This canon, and the two following ones, which explain it, point to some early heretical customs The Apostolic Constitutions furnish no exact parallel. Canon 4 was joined with 3 in the Greek text. Dionysius divided them: hence a variation in number exists from this point.—R.]
[3772] [Dionysius omits aut diaconus.—R.]
[3773] Comp. Apostolic Constitutions, ii. 6.—R.]
[3774] This points to a discussion in the third century.—R.]
[3775] [Canons 9–16 agree with those of the Council of Antioch, a.d. 341; but there is a difference of opinion on the question of priority.]
[3776] Dionysius Exiguus translates “communicans,” in which case the Greek reading must be δεκτός, or, “who can be received.”
