[1923] Innatus. The words which Rufinus has rendered “natus an innatus” are rendered by Jerome in his Epistle to Avitus (94 alias 59), “factus an infectus.” Criticising the errors in the first book of the Principles, he says: “Origen declares the Holy Spirit to be third in dignity and honour after the Father and the Son; and although professing ignorance whether he were created or not (factus an infectus), he indicated afterwards his opinion regarding him, maintaining that nothing was uncreated except God the Father.” Jerome, no doubt, read γενητὸς ἢ ἀγένητος, and Rufinus γεννητὸς ἢ ἀγέννητος.—R.
[1924] Substantia.
[1926] Virtutes.
[1927] Sacramentorum.
[1928] Eusebius (Hist. Eccles., iii. c. 36), treating of Ignatius, quotes from his Epistle to the Church of Smyrna as follows: “Writing to the Smyrnæans, he (Ignatius) has employed words respecting Jesus, I know not whence they are taken, to the following effect: ‘But I know and believe that He was seen after the resurrection; and when He came to Peter and his companions, He said to them, Take and handle Me, and see that I am not an incorporeal spirit.’” Jerome, in his catalogue of ecclesiastical writers, says the words are a quotation from the Gospel of the Nazarenes, a work which he had recently translated. Origen here quotes them, however, from The Doctrine of Peter, on which Ruæus remarks that the words might be contained in both of these apocryphal works.
[1929] Dæmonium.
[1930] Subtile.
[1931] [See note, infra, at end of cap. vi. S.]
[1932] Hos. x. 12. The words in the text are not the rendering of the Authorized Version, but that of the Septuagint, which has φωτίσατε ἑαυτοῖς φῶς γνώσεως. Where the Masoretic text has תע“וְ (et tempus) Origen evidently read תעַדַּ (scientia), the similarity of Vau and Daleth accounting for the error of the transcriber.
[1940] Disciplina.
[1941] Subsistentia.
