Introductory Note to the Writings of Justin Martyr
[1881] The following words are found, not in Isaiah, but in Jer. ix. 26.
Chapter LIV.—Origin of heathen mythology.
[1883] In the ms. the reading is οἶνον (wine); but as Justin’s argument seems to require ὄνον (an ass), Sylburg inserted this latter word in his edition; and this reading is approved by Grabe and Thirlby, and adopted by Otto and Trollope. It may be added, that ἀναγράφουσι is much more suitable to ὄνον than to οἶνον.
Chapter LV.—Symbols of the cross.
[1885] From Lam. iv. 20 (Sept.).
[1886] [The Orientals delight in such refinements, but the “scandal of the cross” led the early Christians thus to retort upon the heathen; and the Labarum may have been the fruit of this very suggestion.]
Chapter LVI.—The demons still mislead men.
[1887] [See cap. xxvi. above, and note p. 187, below.]
Chapter LIX.—Plato’s obligation to Moses.
[1888] Comp. Deut. xxxii. 22.
Chapter LX.—Plato’s doctrine of the cross.
[1889] Literally, “that which is treated physiologically.”
[1890] He impressed him as a χιασμα, i.e., in the form of the letter χ upon the universe. Plato is speaking of the soul of the universe. [Timæus, Opp., vol. ix. p. 314. And see note of Langus (p. 37) on p. 113 of Grabe. Here crops out the Platonic philosopher speaking after the fashion of his contemporaries, perhaps to conciliate his sovereign. See Professor Jowett’s Introduction to the Timæus, which will aid the students.]
[1892] Τὰ δὲ τρίτα περὶ τὸν τρίτον.
Chapter LXI.—Christian baptism.
[1895] Chap. xliv.
Chapter LXII.—Its imitation by demons.
[1897] Thirlby conjectures that Justin here confused in his mind the histories of Moses and Jacob.
Chapter LXIII.—How God appeared to Moses.
