Introductory Note to the Writings of Justin Martyr
[2536] Literally, archæology.
[2537] Unfortunately, Justin here mistook Menes for Moses. [But he may have so read the name in his copy. See Grabe’s note on Diodorus, and the quotation following in another note.]
[2538] This sentence must be so completed from the context in Diodorus. See the note of Maranus.
Chapter X—Training and inspiration of Moses.
[2539] [Consult the ponderous learning of Warburton’s Divine Legation, passim.]
Chapter XII.—Antiquity of Moses proved.
[2540] Literally, “without,” not belonging to the true faith.
[2541] C. 3.
Chapter XIII.—History of the Septuagint.
[2542] [Doubtless Justin relates the tradition as he received it. Consult Dr. Selwyn’s full account of the fables concerning the LXX., in Smith’s Dict. of the Bible, iii. p. 1203 ff.]

Chapter XXI.—The namelessness of God.
[2549] Literally, “with the not-beings.”
[2550] Literally, “between the God being and not-beings.”
Chapter XXII.—Studied ambiguity of Plato.
[2551] That is, “is not produced or created; has no birth.”
[2552] Or, “are born and die.”
[2553] κατὰ ταὐτά “according to the same things,” i.e., in eternal immutability.
[2554] Or, “demiurge or maker.”
