Introductory Note to Gregory Thaumaturgus.
[446] ὠθούμενον.
[447] ἑλκόμενον.
III. Whether the Soul is a Substance.
[448] οὐσία.
[449] τῶν ἐναντίων παραμέρος εἰναι δεκτικόν, παραμέρος, here apparently = in turn, though usually = out of turn.
[450] The text has an apparent inversion: τὸ ἐν ᾧ τὴν ὕπαρξιν ἔχον καὶ οὗ ἄνευ εἶναι μὴ δυνάμενον, αἴτιον ἐκείνου εἶναι τοῦ ἐν ᾧ ἐστί. There is also a variety of reading: καὶ ὁ ἄνευ τοῦ εἶναι μὴ δυνάμενον.
IV. Whether the Soul is Incorporeal.
[451] ἔμψυχον.
[452] πολυμερής.
[453] σύνθετον.
[454] ὄγκον.
[455] [These are Aristotle’s accidents, of which, see Thomas Aquinas and the schoolmen passim.]
VI. Whether Our Soul is Immortal.
[456] φθαρτικόν.
VII. Whether Our Soul is Rational.
[457] ἐπεὶ μηδὲ στῆναι περὶ αὐτὰ θέλομεν.
[458] νοῦς.
[459] ἀξίωμα. [Elucidation II.]
I. (Substance or accident, p. 54.)
[460] See Bacon’s apophthegm, No. 275, p. 172, Works, London, 1730.
II. (Prerogative of the soul, p. 56.)
[461] Vol. iii. pp. 175–235, this series.
[462] Vol. iii. pp. 463, 474; also pp. 532, 537, 557, 570, and 587.
[463] Compare, also, Bishop Kaye’s Tertullian, p. 199, etc.
[464] E.g., vol. ii. p. 157, etc.
[465] Vol. ii. pp. 440, 584 (Fragment), and what he says of free-will.
[466] [This very homily has been cited to prove the antiquity of the festival of the Annunciation, observed, in the West, March 25. But even Pellicia objects that this is a spurious work. The feast of the Nativity was introduced into the East by Chrysostom after the records at Rome had been inspected, and the time of the taxing at Bethlehem had been found. See his Sermon (a.d. 386), beautifully translated by Dr. Jarvis in his Introduction, etc., p. 541. Compare Tertullian, vol. iii. p. 164, and Justin, vol. i. p. 174, this series. Now, as the selection of the 25th of March is clearly based on this, we may say no more of that day. Possibly some Sunday was associated with the Annunciation. The four Sundays preceding Christmas are all observed by the Nestorians in commemoration of the Annunciation.]
