Introductory Note to Dionysius, Bishop of Alexandria.
[748] I give the beginning of this epistle of Dionysius of Alexandria also as it is found in not a few manuscripts, viz., ἐπέστειλάς μοι…τῇ τοῦ πάσχα περιλύσει,—the common reading being, τὴν τοῦ πάσχα ἡμέραν. And the περίλυσις τοῦ πάσχα denotes the close of the paschal fast, as Eusebius (Hist. Eccles. v. 23) uses the phrase τὰς τῶν ἀσιτιῶν ἐπιλύσεις,—the verbs περιλύειν, ἀπολύειν, ἐπιλύειν, καταλύειν, being often used in this sense.—Cotelerius on the Apostolic Constitutions, v. 15.
[749] ἀφ᾽ ἑσπέρας.
[750] [Note this and the Nicene decision which made the Alexandrian bishop the authority concerning the paschal annually, vol. ii. Elucidation II. p. 343.]
[751] πάνυ μεμετρημένην.
[752] κατὰ καιροὺς ἐνηλλαγμένους.
[755] τῇ ἐπιφωσκούσῃ μιᾷ Σαββάτων.
[756] τῆ ἐπιφωσκούσῃ εἰς μίαν Σαββάτων.
[758] κοινότητα.
[759] νύκτα βαθείαν.
[760] ὀψέ, late.
[762] παρὰ τοῦτο…προεληλύθει.
[763] Luke xxiii. 56; xxiv. 1-2.
[764] ὄρθρου βαθέος.
[765] προϋποφαινομένην αὐτὴν ἐωθινὴν ἐμφανίζει.
[767] πρὸ νυκτὸς ἔγγυς ἤδη μεσούσης ἀνιέντας.
[768] ὡς παρ᾽ ὀλίγον προκαταλύοντας τὸν δρὸμον.
