Introductory Note to Irenæus Against Heresies

^[4097] “This text, as quoted a short time ago, indicated ‘the only-begotten Son;’ but the agreement of the Syriac version induces the belief that the present reading was that expressed by Irenæus, and that the previous quotation has been corrected to suit the Vulgate. The former reading, however, occurs in book iii. c. xi. 5.”— Harvey.

^[4111] The text is here uncertain; and while the general meaning of the sentence is plain, its syntax is confused and obscure.

^[4112] Irenæus seems here to have written “three” for “two” from a lapse of memory.
