Introductory Note to Gregory Thaumaturgus.

[184] Word.

[185] The text, however, gives ἀλέκτρῳ.

[186] αἰτιῶν, causes.

[187] Reading τούῳ ἐπὶ νοῦν βαλών.

[188] ἐφόδιον.

[189] The text is ἀποχέουσα. Hœschelius gives ἀπέχουσα.

[190] ῾Ρωμαϊκωτέρα πῶς.

[191] The text is, οὐδὲν οὅτως ἀναγκαῖον ἦν ὅσον ἐπὶ τοῖς νόμοις ἡμῶν, δυνατὸν ὂν καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν ῾Ρωμαίων ἀποδημῆσαι πόλιν. Bengel takes ὅσον as παρέλκον. Migne renders, nullam ei fuisse necessitatem huc veniendi, discendi leges causa, siquidem Romam posset proficisci. Sirmondus makes it, nulla causa adeo necessaria erat qua possem per leges nostras ad Romanorum civitatem proficisci.

[192] The text gives ἐκπονήσαντες. Casaubon reads ἐκποιήσοντες.

[193] εὔλογον.

[194] σύμβολα.

[195] δί αὐτοῦ. Bengel understands this to refer to the soldier.

[196] The text is, την ἀληθῆ δι᾽ αὐτοῦ περὶ τὰ τοῦ λόγου μαθήματα. Bengel takes this as an ellipsis, like τὴν ἑαυτοῦ, τὴν ἐμὴν μίαν, and similar phrases, γνώμην or ὁδόν, or some such word, being supplied. Casaubon conjectures καὶ ἀληθῆ, for which Bengel would prefer τα ἀληθῆ.

[197] οἰκονομίαν.

Argument VI.—The Arts by Which Origen Studies to Keep Gregory and His Brother Athenodorus with Him, Although It Was Almost Against Their Will; And the Love by Which Both are Taken Captive. Of Philosophy, the Foundation of Piety, with the View of Giving Himself Therefore Wholly to that Study, Gregory is Willing to Give Up Fatherland, Parents, the Pursuit of Law, and Every Other Discipline. Of the Soul as the Free Principle. The Nobler Part Does Not Desire to Be United with the Inferior, But the Inferior with the Nobler.

[198] [I think Lardner’s inclination to credit Gregory with some claim to be an alumnus of Berytus, is very fairly sustained.]

[199] θρεμμάτων.

[200] The text here is, ταῦθ᾽ ἅπερ ἡμᾶς ἀνέσειε, μάλιστα λέγων και μάλα τεχνικῶς, τοῦ κυριωτάτου, φησὶ, τῶν ἐν ἡμῖν λόγου, ἀμελήσαντας.

[201] The text gives ἐκ πρώτης ἡλικίας, which Bengel takes to be an error for the absolute ἐκ πρώτης, to which ὴμέρας would be supplied. Casaubon and Rhodomanus read ὁμιλίας for ὴλικίας.

[202] 1 Sam. xviii. 1.

[203] ἄτακτον.

Argument VII.—The Wonderful Skill with Which Origen Prepares Gregory and Athenodorus for Philosophy. The Intellect of Each is Exercised First in Logic, and the Mere Attention to Words is Contemned.

[204] τὸ πλεῖον.
