Introductory Notice to Hippolytus.
[1007] [Here is a very early precedent for the Taxa Pœnitentiaria, of which see Bramhall, vol. i. pp. 56, 180; ii. pp. 445, 446].
[1008] [Elucidation XII.]
[1010] [Elucidation XIII. And on marriage of the clergy, vol. iv. p. 49, this series.]
[1013] This passage, of which there are different readings, has been variously interpreted. The rendering followed above does probably less violence to the text than others proposed. The variety of meaning generally turns on the word ἐναξία in Miller’s text. Bunsen alters it into ἐν ἀξίᾳ…ἡλικίᾳ, i.e., were inflamed at a proper age. Dr. Wordsworth reads ἡλικιώτῃ…ἀναξίῳ, i.e., an unworthy comrade. Roeper reads ἡλικίᾳ…ἀναξίου, i.e., in the bloom of youth were enamoured with one undeserving of their choice.
[1014] Dr. Wordsworth places περιδεσμεῖσθαι in the first sentence, and translates thus: “women began to venture to bandage themselves with ligaments to produce abortion, and to deal with drugs in order to destroy what was conceived.”
[1015] [The prescience of Hermas and Clement is here illustrated. See vol. ii. pp. 9, 32, 279, 597, etc.]
[1016] [Elucidation XIV.]
[1017] [Bunsen, i. 115. Elucidation XV.]
Chapter VIII.—Sect of the Elchasaites; Hippolytus’ Opposition to It.
[1018] See Eusebius, Hist. Ecclesiast., vi. 38; Epiphanius, Hær, xix.; and Theodoret, Hær. Fab., ii. 7.
[1019] For πλανηθῆναι Dr. Wordsworth reads πλατυνθῆναι, i.e., did not suffer the heresy to spread wide.
Chapter X.—Elchasai’s Mode of Administering Baptism; Formularies.
[1020] Roeper reads τέκνῳ, i.e., if any one is guilty of an unnatural crime.
[1021] [Concerning angels of repentance, etc., see Hermas, vol. ii. pp. 19, 24, 26.]
Chapter XI.—Precepts of Elchasai.
[1022] Miller suggests the singular number (δυνάμεως).
Chapter XII.—The Heresy of the Elchasaites a Derivative One.
Chapter XIII.—The Jewish Sects.
[1024] Or, “nation.”
[1025] See Josephus, De Bell. Judaic. ii. 8, from whom Hippolytus seems to have taken his account of the Jewish sects, except, as Schneidewin remarks, we suppose some other writer whom Josephus and Hippolytus themselves followed. The Abbe Cruice thinks that the author followed by Hippolytus was not Josephus, but a Christian writer of the first century, who derived his materials from the Jewish historian. Hippolytus’ text sometimes varies from the text of Josephus, as well as of Porphyry, who has taken excerpts from Josephus work.
[1026] Or “choice.”
Chapter XVI.—The Tenets of the Esseni Continued.
