Introductory Notice to Methodius.
[3092] Ecclesiasticus 22.7.
[3096] Ps. xlviii. 2; Matt. v. 35; Isa. i. 26.
[3097] Isa. lx. 1; Ps. lxxxvii. 3; Ps. cxxxii. 16.
[3101] [Here is an apostrophe to the Church, a hymn to “the Elect Lady.” See, illustrating note 17, p. 390, supra.]
[3102] τρικυμίας, stormy waves. Latin, decumani fluctus. Methodius perhaps alludes to Diocletian’s persecution, in which he perished as a martyr.—Tr.
[3106] [He again apostrophizes the Blessed Theotocos, but in language hardly appropriate to the period preceding Cyril of Alexandria.]
[3107] [Not so, for he ends with a noble strain of worship to the Son of God. This expression suggests interpolation.]
[3109] [Dupin hardly credits this oration to Methodius. See elucidation, p. 398.]
[3112] [Evidently a homily for Palm Sunday, the first day of the Paschal week.]
