Introductory Notice to Hippolytus.
[1215] Theodoret also, following Hippolytus, understood by “evil angels” here, not “demons,” but the ministers of temporal punishment. See on Ps. lxxviii. 54, and on Jer. xlix. 14. So, too, others, as may be seen in Poli Synops., ii. col. 1113.
On Proverbs. From the Commentary of St. Hippolytus on Proverbs.
[1217] Mai, Bibliotheca nova Patrum, vii. ii. 71, Rome, 1854.
[1227] This is the Septuagint translation of Prov. 27.16.
[1231] Prov. vii. 22. The Hebrew word, rendered “straightway” in our version, is translated κεπφωθείς in the Septuagint, i.e., “ensnared like a cepphus.” [Quasi agnus lasciviens, according to the Vulgate.]
[1232] [If the “cemphus” of the text equals “cepphus” of note, then “cepphus” equals “cebus” or “cepus,” which equals κῆβος, a sort of monkey. The “Kophim” of 1 Kings x. 22 seems to supply the root of the word. The κέπφος, however, is said to be a sea-bird “driven about by every wind,” so that it is equal to a fool. So used by Aristophanes.]
[1234] ταμεῖα, “magazines.”
