The Epistle of Polycarp to the Philippians
[420] Some read, “Philadelphia,” but on inferior authority. Philomelium was a city of Phrygia.
[421] The word in the original is ποροικίαις, from which the English “parishes” is derived.
Chapter II.—The wonderful constancy of the martyrs.
[422] Literally, “who are more pious.”
[423] The account now returns to the illustration of the statement made in the first sentence.
Chapter III.—The constancy of Germanicus. The death of Polycarp is demanded.
[425] Or, “illustriously.”
[426] Or, “said to him.”
[427] Literally, “the nobleness of the God-loving and God-fearing race of Christians.”
Chapter IV.—Quintus the apostate.
[428] Comp. Matt. x. 23.
Chapter VI.—Polycarp is betrayed by a servant.
[429] It was the duty of the Irenarch to apprehend all seditious troublers of the public peace.
[430] Some think that those magistrates bore this name that were elected by lot.
Chapter VII.—Polycarp is found by his pursuers.
[431] That is, on Friday.
[432] Comp.Matt. xxvi. 55.
[433] Or, “in.”
[434] Some read “the Lord”
[435] Comp. Matt. vi. 10;Acts xxi. 14.
[436] Or, “diligence.”
[437] Jacobson reads, “and [marvelling] that they had used so great diligence to capture,” etc.
[438] Or, “be silent.”
Chapter VIII.—Polycarp is brought into the city.
[439] Jacobson deems these words an interpolation.
[440] Or, “Cæsar is Lord,” all the mss. having κύριος instead of κύριε, as usually printed.
