[3218] Lit. “the Spirit of His Godhead.”—Tr.
[3219] This seems to be Lusius Quietus, Trajan’s general in the East at this time.
[3220] Or “kings.”—Tr.
[3221] We have here probably the most authentic copy of the edict of Trajan commanding the stopping of the persecution of the Christians, as it was taken down at the time by the reporters who heard it read.
[3222] Lit. “am far removed.”—Tr.
[3223] 2 Cor. viii. 12. Both the Peshito and the Greek (if τίς be rejected) have “what it hath:” not “what it is.”—Tr.
[3224] See note on p. 678.—Tr.
[3225] Perhaps “Eutropius.”
[3226] What follows, down to the end, is a much later addition, evidently made by the same ignorant person as that at p. 685, above: see note 2 there.
[3227] That is “Pius.” The blunder arose from taking the prefix D (?) as a part of the name.
[3228] i.e., “Sixtus.”—Tr.

[3230] i.e., “Linus:” see p. 675, note 3.—Tr.
[3231] See note 3 on p. 667.—Tr. [Also see p. 666, supra.]
[3232] Put by mistake for “sixteenth,” which agrees with the statement of Julius Africanus as to the date of our Lord’s death; also with the year of the consulate of Rubellius Geminus and Fufius Geminus (the persons intended below), and with the year of the Greeks 341, which was a.d. 29 or 30.
[3233] Prop. “rising,” as of the sun.—Tr.
[3234] The Greek ειλητάριον: see Du Fresne, Glossarium.
Martyrdom of Habib the Deacon.
[3235] This is found in the same ms. as the preceding: Cod. Add. 14,645, fol. 238, vers.
[3236] August.—Tr.
[3237] They were consuls together in a.d. 312, 313, 315.
[3238] It does not appear who is meant.—Tr.
