Introductory Notice to Constitutions of the Holy Apostles.
[3799] [Canon 58 is supposed to refer to the absence of bishops at the imperial city, which prevailed in the middle of the fourth century.—R.]
[3800] [Canon 59 resembles the twenty-fifth canon of Synod of Antioch; see on Canon 9.—R.]
[3801] [Of doubtful origin, but resembling Apostolic Constitutions vi. 16, though probably of later date.—R.]
[3802] [Canons 61, 62, are of unknown origin.—R.]
[3804] [Canon 63 is regarded as very ancient.—R.]
[3805] [Canon 64 is numbered as 66 In Hefele’s edition, being preceded by Canons 65 and 66 as given above. It is from Apostolic Constitutions, v. 20.—R.]
[3806] [Canon 65 is from Apostolic Constitutions, ii. 61.—R.]
[3807] [Of unknown but probably late origin.—R.]
[3808] [Drey makes this one of the most recent canons of the collection.—R.]
[3809] [Of unknown origin, probably recent.—R.]
[3810] [Drey considers Canon 69 to be very ancient, but also intimates that it and Canon 70 were taken from the pseudo-Ignatian Epistle to the Philippians; see the same, chap. xiii., latter half, vol. i. p. 119, of this series.—R.]
[3811] [With Canons 70, 71, compare Synod of Elvira (a.d. 305 or 306), Canons 49, 50, in Hefele, vol. i. pp. 158, 159. Drey, however, derives them from Canons 37–39 of Laodicea (a.d. 363).—R.]
[3812] Lev. v. 16. [It is argued from the theft forbidden that this canon is more recent; its origin is unknown.—R.]
[3813] [The wealth here implied points to a comparatively late origin; Hefele assigns it to the second half of the third century, but Drey gives a later date.—R.]
[3814] [Hefele thinks both this and the following canon to be later than the Nicæan Council. Drey, however, derives Canon 74 from the council at Chalcedon (a.d. 451), a view opposed by both Bickell and Hefele.—R.]
[3815] Deut xix. 15. [According to Drey this canon is from the Council of Constantinople (sixth canon), in a.d. 381.—R.]
[3816] [Drey derives this from Canon 23, Synod of Antioch, a.d. 341.—R.]
[3817] [Hefele: “The Canons 77–79, inclusive, belong to the first three centuries of the Church; their origin is unknown.”—R.]
[3818] [Comp. Apostolic Constitutions, viii. 32, p. 495, from which this may have been taken.—R.]
