Introductory Note to Dionysius, Bishop of Alexandria.
[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.
[769] [1 Tim. iv. 8. Mark the moderation of our author in contrast with superstition. But in our days the peril is one of an opposite kind. Contrast St. Paul, 2 Cor. xi. 27.]
[770] That is, as Balsamon explains, the six days of the week of our Lord’s passion.
[771] To these canons are appended the comments of Balsamon and Zonaras, which it is not necessary to give here.
[772] Matt. ix. 20; Luke viii. 43.
[773] Referring to the relations of marriage, dealt with in 1 Cor. vii. 5, etc.
[774] διακρίνονται.
[775] Rom. xiv. 23. [Gr. κατακέκριται = is condemned = self-condemned. Wordsworth cites Cicero, De Officiis, i. 30.]
[776] [The entire absence of despotic authority in these episcopal teachings is to be noted. 2 Cor. i. 24.]
Epistle I.—To Domitius and Didymus.
[777] Eusebius, Hist. Eccles., vii. 11.
[779] Reading ἐπειδὴ πυνθάνεσθε, for which some codices give ἐπεὶ πυνθάνεσθαι.
[780] στρατηγῶν. Christophorsonus would read στρατηγοῦ in the sense of commander. But the word is used here of the duumviri, or magistrates of Alexandria. And that the word στρατηγός was used in this civil acceptation as well as in the common military application, we see by many examples in Athanasius, Ammianus Marcellinus, and others. Thus, as Valesius remarks, the soldiers (στρατιωτῶν) here will be the band with the centurion, and the attendants (ὑπηρετῶν) will be the civil followers of the magistrates.
