Introductory Note to Gregory Thaumaturgus.

[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.

[205] The text gives συμβλύσαντα ὡς, for which Casaubon proposes συμφύσαντα εἰς ἕν, or ὡς ἕν. Bengel suggests συμβρύσανρα ὡς ἕν.

[206] νόθον.

[207] The text gives ἐκεῖ, for which Hœschelius and Bengel read είκῆ.

[208] τελειοῦθαι δὲ τῇ βλάσψῃ.

[209] ὑπ᾽ ἀλλήλων.

[210] τριβόλους.

[211] The words ἀλλὰ κεκρυμμένα are omitted by Hœschelius and Bengel.

[212] ἐι τι ῾Ελληνικὸν ἢ βάρβαρόν ἐστι τῇ φωνῇ.

Argument VIII.—Then in Due Succession He Instructs Them in Physics, Geometry, and Astronomy.

[213] The text is, καὶ μὴ τοῦθ᾽ ὅπερ εἶδος διαλεκτικὴ κατορθοῦν μόνη εἴληχε.

Argument IX.—But He Imbues Their Minds, Above All, with Ethical Science; And He Does Not Confine Himself to Discoursing on the Virtues in Word, But He Rather Confirms His Teaching by His Acts.

[214] πᾶν τὸ φιλόσοφον. Hœschelius and Bengel read πῶς, etc.

[215] The text gives ὑφ᾽ ἑαυτῆς, for which Bengel reads ἐφ᾽ ἑαυτῆς.

[216] ἐκχέοντα ἡμᾶς.

[217] ἐπιστήμη, science.

[218] τὰ πρῶτα Θεῷ ἶσον εἶναι τὸν σοφὸν ἄνθρωπον.

Argument X.—Hence the Mere Word-Sages are Confuted, Who Say and Yet Act Not.

[219] φιλοτιμίᾳ, for which φιλονεικίᾳ is read.

[220] The text is, ἢ κακῶν ἂν ἔλεγον, etc. The Greek and the Latin aut are found sometimes thus with a force bordering on that of alioqui.

[221] ἀφραίνομεν. The Paris editor would read ἀφραίνω μέν.

Argument XI.—Origen is the First and the Only One that Exhorts Gregory to Add to His Acquirements the Study of Philosophy, and Offers Him in a Certain Manner an Example in Himself. Of Justice, Prudence, Temperance, and Fortitude. The Maxim, Know Thyself.

[222] ἀλλὰ γὰρ πᾶσι μέχρι ῥημάτων τὸ φιλοσοφεῖν στήσασιν.

[223] The text is, ἀλλ᾽ ἐπεὶ ἀλήθειαν ἡμῖν, οὐ κομψείαν ἐπηγγείλατο ὁ λόγος ἄνωθεν. The Latin rendering is, sed quia veritatem nobis, non pompam et ornatum promisit oratio in exordio.
