Introductory Note to Irenæus Against Heresies
[2922] The Latin reads “Christ.”
[2923] Luke xii. 50. The text was probably thus corrupted by the heretics.
[2925] We have given these words as they stand in the Greek text: a very different list, but equally unmeaning, is found in the Latin.
[2926] The Latin reads zonis, “zones,” instead of “lives,” as in the Greek.
[2927] Here, again, are many variations.
[2928] The Greek text, which has hitherto been preserved almost entire, ends at this point. With only brief extracts from the original, now and then, we are henceforth exclusively dependent on the old Latin version, with some Syriac and Armenian fragments recently discovered.
Chapter XXII.—Deviations of heretics from the truth.
[2929] The Latin here begins with the words “cum teneamus,” and the apodosis is found afterwards at “facile arguimus.” But we have broken up the one long sentence into several.
[2932] The text is here uncertain and obscure: eternal things seem to be referred to, not as regarded substance, but the forms assigned them.
[2933] This word would perhaps be better cancelled.
Chapter XXIII.—Doctrines and practices of Simon Magus and Menander.
[2936] Comp. Just. Mart., Apol., i. 26. It is generally supposed that Simon Magus was thus confounded with the Sabine god, Semo Sancus; but see our note, loc. cit. [And mine at end of the First Apology. Consult Orelli’s Inscriptions there noted.]
[2937] A lyric poet of Sicily, said to have been dealt with, as stated above, by Castor and Pollux.
Chapter XXIV.—Doctrines of Saturninus and Basilides.
[2942] The ordinary text reads, “three hundred and seventy-five,” but it should manifestly be corrected as above.
