Introductory Notice to Hippolytus.
[1309] Isa. lxi. 1; Luke iv. 18.
[1315] Cf.Matt. x. 27.
[1316] In the text, the word ἕως, “until,” is introduced, which seems spurious.
[1317] βαδδίν.
[1318] In the text, μυστηρίων (of “mysteries”), for which μυστηριωδῶς or μυστικῶς, “mystically,” is proposed.
[1319] The Latin translation renders: His body was perfect.
[1320] “Thares” (Θαρσείς) in Hippolytus. The Septuagint gives Θαρσίς as the translation of the Hebrew תַּרְשִׁישׁ, rendered in our version as “beryl” (Dan. x. 6).
[1323] Ex. xxxii. 4; xxxiii. 3.
[1324] φορολόγον.
[1325] 1 Macc. ii. 33.
[1327] He seems to refer to Cleopatra, wife and niece of Physco. For Lathyrus was sometimes called Philometor in ridicule (ἐπὶ χλευασμᾷ), as Pausanias says in the Attica.
[1328] He refers to Alexander I. king of Syria, of whom we read in 1 Macc. x. He pretended to be the son of Antiochus Epiphanes, and even gained a decree of the senate of Rome in his favour as such. Yet he was a person of unknown origin, as indeed he acknowledged himself in his choice of the designation Theopator. Livy calls him “a man unknown, and of uncertain parentage” (homo ignotus et incertæ stirpis). So Hippolytus calls him here, “a certain Alexander” (τινα). He had also other surnames, e.g., Euergetes, Balas, etc.
[1329] For “Antiochus” in the text, read “Demetrius.”
