Introductory Note to the Writings of Justin Martyr
[1783] Literally, “would not use the same hearth or fire.”
[1784] See the end of chap. xii.
Chapter XV.—What Christ himself taught.
[1785] The reader will notice that Justin quotes from memory, so that there are some slight discrepancies between the words of Jesus as here cited, and the same sayings as recorded in our Gospels.
[1788] διγαμίας ποιούμενοι, lit. contracting a double marriage. Of double marriages there are three kinds: the first, marriage with a second wife while the first is still alive and recognised as a lawful wife, or bigamy; the second, marriage with a second wife after divorce from the first, and third, marriage with a second wife after the death of the first. It is thought that Justin here refers to the second case.

[1791] Luke vi. 30, 34; Matt. vi. 19, Matt. xvi. 26, Matt. vi. 20.

[1800] φόρους καὶ εἰσφοράς. The former is the annual tribute; the latter, any occasional assessment. See Otto’s Note, and Thucyd. iii. 19.
[1801] Matt. xxii. 17, 19, 20, 21.
Chapter XVIII.—Proof of immortality and the resurrection.
[1803] ἓρμαιον, a piece of unlooked-for luck, Hermes being the reputed giver of such gifts: vid. Liddell and Scott’s Lex.; see also the Scholiast, quoted by Stallbaum in Plato’s Phæd., p. 107, on a passage singularly analogous to this.
