Introductory Notice to Cyprian.
[2765] [See sec. 5, infra.]
[2766] Acts i. 15. From some authorities, Baluzius here interpolates, “the number of men was about a hundred and twenty.” But this, says a modern editor, smacks of “emendation.”
[2769] [See Ep. xl. p. 319, supra.]
[2770] Elucidation XIV.]
[2771] [“Our colleague Stephen,” placed at a distance, ignorant of facts and truth, and, in short, incompetent to meddle with the African province in its own business: such was Cyprian’s idea of the limits to which even this apostolic See was restricted.]
[2774] Saragossa.
[2775] A collector of taxes, so called from the amount of his salary.
[2776] [Elucidation XV.]
[2777] [Surely a significant warning to our own times.]
[2778] Some read, “by the furnaces;” some “by arms.”
[2779] [A noteworthy testimony to the Decian period, when to be a Christian, indeed, was to be a confessor or martyr. Soc., H. E., bk. iv. c. 28.]
Epistle LXVIII. To Florentius Pupianus, on Calumniators.
