Introductory Notice to Hippolytus.
[1296] [True in a.d. 1885. A very pregnant testimony to our own times.]
[1297] This is what Photius condemned in Hippolytus. Irenæus, however, held the same opinion (book v. c. 28 and 29). The same view is expressed yet earlier in the Epistle of Barnabas (sec. 15). It was an opinion adopted from the rabbis.
[1302] Migne thinks we should read διακόσια τριάκοντα, i.e., 230, as it is also in Julius Africanus, who was contemporary with Hippolytus. As to the duration of the Greek empire, Hippolytus and Africanus make it both 300 years, if we follow Jerome’s version of the latter in his comment on Dan. ix. 24. Eusebius makes it seventy years longer in his Demonstr. Evang., viii. 2.
[1303] Literally, “a man of desires.” [Our author plays on this word, as if the desire of knowledge were referred to. Our Authorized Version is better, and the rendering might be “a man of loves.”]
[1309] Isa. lxi. 1; Luke iv. 18.
[1315] Cf.Matt. x. 27.
