Introductory Notice to Hippolytus.
[1158] [In thus spiritualizing, the Fathers do not deny a literal sense also, as in “Aser,” p. 166, infra; only they think that geography, history, etc., should pay tribute to a higher meaning.]
[1161] κατὰ πόδας, “quickly,” “following close.”
[1163] [An important hint that by “heel,” in Gen. iii. 15, the “foot” is understood, by rhetorical figure.]
[1165] Gen. iii 15. [The rhetoric here puts the heel for the foot to emphasize the other part of the prophecy, i.e., the wounded heel coming down on the biter’s head.]
[1166] περιμένει τὸν ζῶντα.
[1170] στέλεχος ἀνειμένον.
[1176] The text is τοῦτο πάντως κατάγεται ὀρθῶς ἔχειν ὑπειλημμένον.
[1177] This passage, down to the word “inseparably,” was transcribed by Isaac Vossius at Rome, and first edited by Grabe in the Annotations to Bull’s Defens. fid. Nic., p. 103.
