Introductory Note to the Epistles of Ignatius
[1405] Some read, “fear compelled.”
[1406] Literally, “evil-dæmon.”
[1407] Literally, “art zealous.”
[1408] Or, “one who carries God.”
[1409] Literally, “the dæmons.”
[1410] The Latin version reads, “Him who bore my sin, with its inventor, upon the cross.”
[1412] Literally, “with.”
[1413] Or, “beast-like.”
[1414] [Better, “like the noble leader,” etc.; remitting κριὸς to the margin, as an ignoble word to English ears.]
Chapter III.—Ignatius sails to Smyrna.
[1415] It is doubtful if this clause should be referred to Polycarp.
[1416] Or, “received.”
[1417] Literally, “a portion of.”
Chapter IV.—Ignatius writes to the churches.
[1418] The Latin version has, “that he was to.” [But compare the martyr’s Epistle to the Romans (cap. 5); “yet am I not thereby justified,” —a double reference to St. Paul’s doctrine, 1 Cor. iv. 4 and 1 Cor. xiii. 3. See also his quotation (Sept., Prov. xviii. 17). Epistle to Magnesians, cap 12.]
[1419] The punctuation and construction are here doubtful.
[1420] Or, “should prevent him from hastening to the Lord.”
Chapter V.—Ignatius is brought to Rome.
[1421] Or, “corrected.”
[1422] Comp.Acts xxviii. 13, 14.
[1423] Literally, “the ship being driven onwards from the stern.”
[1424] Literally, “declaring happy.”
Chapter VI.—Ignatius is devoured by the beasts at Rome.
[1425] [Of which we shall learn more when we come to Hippolytus. Trajan had just improved the work of Claudius at this haven, near Ostia.]
