Introductory Note to the Epistle of Mathetes to Diognetus
[263] ἀποστόλων γενόμενος μαθητης. Cap. xi.
Chapter I.—Occasion of the epistle.
[264] Literally, “trusting in what God, etc., they look down.”
[265] Or, “life.”
[266] Some read, “that you by hearing may be edified.”
Chapter II.—The vanity of idols.
[267] Or, “purified.”
[268] Literally, “which is deceiving.”
[269] Literally, “of what substance, or of what form.”
[270] Some make this and the following clauses affirmative instead of interrogative.
[271] The text is here corrupt. Several attempts at emendation have been made, but without any marked success.
[272] Some read, “Who of you would tolerate these things?” etc.
[273] The text is here uncertain, and the sense obscure. The meaning seems to be, that by sprinkling their gods with blood, etc., they tended to prove that these were not possessed of sense.
Chapter III.—Superstitions of the Jews.
[274] The text here is very doubtful. We have followed that adopted by most critics.
Chapter IV.—The other observances of the Jews.
[275] Otto, resting on ms. authority, omits the negative, but the sense seems to require its insertion.
