Introductory Notice to Cyprian.
[3029] Oxford ed.: Ep. lxxix. a.d. 257.
Epistle LXXX. Cyprian to Sergius, Rogatianus, and the Other Confessors in Prison.
[3030] Oxford ed.: Ep. vi. a.d. 257; possibly a.d. 250.
[3031] [Luke xx. 35; xxi. 36; 1 Thess. ii. 12. Such expressions in our author teach no worthiness apart from the merits of Christ.]
[3035] Wisd. iii. 4-8.
[3040] [See p. 404, note 6, supra.]
[3042] “Metator.”
Epistle LXXXI. To Successus on the Tidings Brought from Rome, Telling of the Persecution.
[3043] Oxford ed.: Ep. lxxx. As Cyprian suffered shortly after, in the month of September, there is no doubt but that this letter was written near the close of his life. a.d. 258.
[3044] Doubtless with Gallienus.
[3045] [Of Rome.]
[3046] [Elucidation XX.]
[3047] Or, “and with him Quartus.”
[3048] [The modern name, Istamboul (εἰς τὴν πόλιν), grows out of like usage in the East. And, as Constantinople was “New Rome,” this illustrates Irenæus and his convenire, vol. i. p. 460.]
[3049] [The baptismal question went by default, and was practically given up by the African Church, amid greater issues. It has never been dogmatically settled by the Church Catholic: and Roman usage is evasive (in spite of its own anathemas); for it baptizes again, sub conditionel. See useful note, Oxford ed. p. 244.]
Epistle LXXXII. To the Clergy and People Concerning His Retirement, a Little Before His Martyrdom.
