Introductory Notice to Hippolytus.
[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.”
[1238] ὡς αὐτοζωή.
[1242] Other reading (φθόνος) ="envy.”
[1243] [The place of torment (2 Pet. ii. 4). Vol. iv. 140.]
[1244] [Sheol, rather,—the receptacle of departed spirits. See vol. iii. pp. 59 and 595; also vol. iv. p. 194.]
[1249] [The Authorized Version reads very differently; but our author follows the Sept., with which agrees the Vulgate.]
