Introductory Notice to Peter, Bishop of Alexandria.
[2273] [Another anachronism, and Occidental also.]
[2274] [See vol. v. p. 256, note 6, and p. 259, Elucidation II. Missa, a Latin word, has clearly no place here save by the Roman rule of reading modern rites into antiquity. Thus, in Raphael’s picture illustrating the story of 2 Macc. iii. 15, the Jewish high-priest is made a Roman pontiff. (Compare note 6, p. 261, supra.]
[2275] [See note 2, p. 265, supra.]
[2276] Achillas, the successor of Peter, admitted Arius to the priesthood.
[2277] Cf. Joshua ix.
[2278] Perhaps Absalom, or it may be Ziba, is referred to. (2 Sam. xiv. 33; xvi. 3.)
[2281] [The Canonical Epistles of Basil have been heretofore mentioned. Vol. v. p. 572, elucidation.]
[2282] These Canons of Peter of Alexandria are interesting as bearing upon the controversy between Cyprian and the clergy of Carthage, with regard to the treatment of the lapsed. They also bear upon the subject-matter of the Novatian schism.
[2283] Another reading is ἀνηκέστους, “which cannot be cured.”
[2284] The marks of Jesus, στίγματα. Cf. Gal. vi. 17.
[2286] Isa. lxi. 1-2; Luke iv. 18-19.
[2292] Cf. 1 Sam. xxi. 13.
