[3445] Lit. “how many times.”
[3446] The text of Eusebius and the Recognitions is followed, which agrees better with the context. The Syriac reads “Germans.”
[3447] So Eusebius: ἀγχονιμαίῳ μόρῳ. Otherwise “suffocation.”
[3448] So called from containing each ten of the parts or degrees into which the zodiacal circle is divided. Cf. Hahn, Bardesanes Gnosticus, p. 72.
[3449] Lit. “who surround the whole world.”
[3450] Lit. “have been in all the winds.”
[3451] Lit. “for.”
[3452] Lit. “able.”
[3453] Lit. “commands.”
[3454] According to Neander, General Church History, i. 109, this was the Abgar Bar Manu with whom Bardesan is said to have stood very high. His conversion is placed between 160 and 170 a.d.
[3455] For ***, Merx, by omitting one ***, gives ***, “readings.” But what is meant is not clear. Ephraem Syrus ascribes certain compositions of this name to Bardesanes. Cf. Hahn, Bard. Gnost., p. 28.
[3456] Or “Hutra.”
[3457] Lit. “this man who is seen.”
[3458] Lit. “all natures.”
[3459] Lit. “this order.”
[3460] Lit. “natures.”
[3461] The Greek σύνοδοι.
[3462] The five planets are called by their Greek names, Κρόνος, κ.τ.λ.
A Letter of Mara, Son of Serapion.
[3463] [Elucidation I. p. 742, infra. See p. 722, supra.]
[3464] Lit. “good conscience.”
[3465] Or, “my daily converse is with learning.” So Dr. Payne Smith is inclined to take these difficult words, supplying, as Cureton evidently does, the pronoun ***. The construction would be easier if we could take the participle *** as a passive, and render: “It (the kind of life men lead) has been explored by me by means of study.”
