Introductory Note to Gregory Thaumaturgus.
[92] The text is evidently corrupt: for τὴν γυναῖκα, γῆν τινά, etc., Cotelerius proposes, τὴν γυναῖκα, σαγήνην τινά, etc.; and Bengel, πάγην τινά, etc.
[93] κατέχει ἢ εἰ. This use of ἢ εἰ is characteristic of Gregory Thaumaturgus. We find it again in his Panegyr. ad Orig., ch. 6, ἢ εἰ καὶ παρὰ πάντας, etc. It may be added, therefore, to the proofs in support of a common authorship for these two writings.
[94] ἐπόπτην.
[95] σωφροσύνην.
[96] [Our English version gives no such idea, nor does that of the LXX. The σωφροσύνη of our author is discretion, or perhaps entire balance of mind. Wordsworth gives us the thought better in his verse: “A perfect woman, nobly planned.” It was not in Judaism to give woman her place: the Magnificat of the Virgin celebrated the restoration of her sex.]
[97] Upright, ἁπλοῖ.
[98] ἐπισπῶνται.
[99] λίαν.
[100] ψυχήν.
[101] πρόνοια.
[102] ἰλασκομένου.
[103] The text gives, κἀκείνην δὲ ματαίως, etc.
[104] κἂν πολλοῖς καταφρόνητος ᾖ; so the Cod. Bodleian. and the Cod. Medic. read. But others read πολύ = an object of great contempt. For καταφρόνητος the Cod. Medic. reads εὐκαταφρόνητος.
[105] The text gives χρίσιν, for which Cod. Medic. reads, χρῆσιν, use.
[106] ἰλάσασθαι.
[107] Reading ἀλλὰ μήν for ἀλλὰ μή.
[108] στελεου, for which others read στελέχους.
[109] οὐκ ἑπ᾽ ἀγαθῷ συγκομίζων.
[110] ἑπαύξων αὐτὸς τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ἄδικον καὶ ὠκύμορον δύναμιν.
[111] ἀργυρίῳ ἀγώγιμοι.
[112] ὁποῖα αὐτῶν ἔσται ἀμείνω τῶν φυέντων, perhaps = "which" of those natural productions shall be the better.
