Introductory Notice

[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.

[3229] Or “Eortis.” The person referred to is “Evaristus.” Cureton reads “Erastus:” it does not appear why.—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.

[3239] The Greek στρατηγία, with a Syriac termination. Στρατηγοί was used for the Latin Magistratus or Duumviri.

[3240] He laid the foundation of the church at Edessa a.d. 313: see Assem., Bibl. Orient., vol. i. p. 394.

[3241] Called “Thelsæa” by Metaphrastes, p. 700, infra.

[3242] Lit. “learn and see.”—Tr.

[3243] The word used is probably ἐντολικός = præfectus: see Dr. Payne Smith, Thes. Syr.—Tr.

[3244] Dr. Wright’s reading, by the change of a letter, for “shall perish.”—Tr.
