[3094] The particip. ***, though usually pass., may, like some other participles Peil, be taken actively, as appears from a passage quoted by Dr. R. Payne Smith, Thes. Syr., s.v. This would seem to be the only possible way of taking it here.—Tr.
[3095] Comp. Ap. Const., ii. 45 sqq.
[3096] [Note the Institutions of Samuel, vol. vii. p. 531, and observe the prominence here assigned to that prophet. Comp. Acts iii. 24.]
[3097] [But note the case of Ambrose and Theodosius; Sozomen, Eccl. Hist., book vii. cap. 25.]
[3099] The belief was common among the Jacobites that Caiaphas, whose full name was Joseph Caïaphas, was the same person as the historian Josephus, and that he was converted to Christianity. See Assem., Bibl. Orient., vol. ii. p. 165.
[3100] [The visible Church and sacraments are necessary, on this principle, to the conversion of the world.]
[3101] [Perhaps a metaphrase of Job v. 12, 13.]
[3102] This would seem to have been written anterior to the time when the title of Bishop, as specially appropriated to those who succeeded to the apostolic office, had generally obtained in the East. [Previously named as in the Greek of 2 Cor. viii. 23.]
[3103] For writings ascribed to Andrew and Thomas, see Apocryphal Scriptures, this volume, infra. Comp. Eccl. Canons, No. 85.—Tr. There is no mention here of the Epistles of Paul. They may not at this early period have been collected and become generally known in the East. The Epistle of Jude is also omitted here, but it was never received into the Syriac canon: see De Wette, Einl., 6th ed. p. 342.
[3104] So the printed text. But “the apostles” seems to be meant.—Tr.
[3105] See note 10 on p. 668.—Tr. It is plain from this that the Epistles were not at that time considered part of what was called the New Testament, nor the prophets of the Old.
[3106] Lit. “nod,” or “bidding,” or “impulse.”—Tr. [See Tertull., vol. iii. p. 252.]
[3107] Lit. “were quiet and silent at.”—Tr.
[3108] Lit. “be an advocate.”—Tr.
[3110] C. reads “Pentapolis.”
[3111] A. has “the Indians;” C. “the Ethiopians.”
[3112] C. adds, “and built a church at Antioch.”
[3113] See note 3, p. 673, infra.
