Introductory Note to Irenæus Against Heresies
[3170] Ex. xxx. 23, etc.
[3172] Some such supplement as this seems requisite, but the syntax in the Latin text is very confused.
[3173] Matt. xiv. 19, 21; Mark vi. 41, 44; Luke ix. 13, 14; John vi. 9, 10, 11.
[3174] Matt. xxv. 2, etc.
[3176] St. John is here strangely overlooked.
[3179] “Fines et summitates;” comp. Justin Mart., Dial. c. Tryph., 91.
[3180] “Juvenis,” one in the prime of life.
[3181] It has been usual in the Christian Church to reckon four commandments in the first table, and six in the second; but the above was the ancient Jewish division. See Joseph., Antiq., iii. 6.
[3183] Ex. xxvii. 1; “altitudo” in the text must be exchanged for “latitudo.”
[3187] [Note the manly contempt with which our author dismisses a class of similitudes, which seem, even in our day, to have great attractions for some minds not otherwise narrow.]
[3188] 365 (the days of the year)—12 х 30 + 5.
[3189] These hours of daylight, at the winter and summer solstice respectively, correspond to the latitude of Lyons, 45° 45´ N., where Irenæus resided.
