Introductory Note to the Writings of Justin Martyr
[2604] Some attribute these lines to Menander, others regard them as spurious.
[2605] P. 68, D, [cap. 30.]
[2606] The mss. are corrupt here. They seem to read, and one actually does read, “all” for “many.” “Many” is in Plato, and the clause in brackets is taken from Plato to fill up the sense.
Chapter V.—The vain pretensions of false gods.
[2607] κακά in Euripedes, καλά in text.
[2608] [See Warburton’s Divine Legation (book ii. § 4), vol. ii. p. 20. Ed. London, 1811.]
[2609] These lines are assigned to Diphilus.
[2610] The words from “but” to “all” are assigned by Otto to Justin, not to Menander.
Chapter VI.—We should acknowledge one only God.
[2611] See chap. i., the opening sentence.
[2612] Odyssey, xxii. 347.
[2613] [N. B.—This tractate is probably the genuine work of Justin.]
Chapter II.—Objections to the resurrection of the flesh.
Chapter III.—If the members rise, must they discharge the same functions as now?
[2615] That is to say, their lives are a protest against entering into marriage for any other purpose than that of begetting children.
[2616] i.e., to the devil. [St. John xii. 31, John xiv. 30, John xvi. 11.]
Chapter IV.—Must the deformed rise deformed?
Chapter V.—The resurrection of the flesh is not impossible.
[2619] Odyssey, ii. 304.
[2622] i.e., by actually happening under our observation.
[2623] ἔξωθεν, “without” or “outside,” to which reference is made in the next clause, which may be translated, “because nothing is outside God,” or, “because to God nothing is ‘without.’ ”
[2624] κοσμικῶν, arguments drawn from the laws by which the world is governed.
Chapter VI.—The resurrection consistent with the opinions of the philosophers.
