Introductory Notice to Remains of the Second and Third Centuries.
[3538] Contra Celsum, iv. 52.
[3539] Οὐκ ἀγεννῶς.
[3540] Routh, R. S., vol. i. p. 113. And see Westcott, Canon, p. 245.
[3541] Lightfoot, A. F., vol. ii. p. 48.
[3542] Ib., vol. i. p. 428.
[3543] Vol. ii. (Stromata) p. 301, this series.
[3544] Vol. i. p. 186, this series.
[3545] Lightfoot, A. F., vol. i. p. 468.
[3546] Lightfoot, A. F., vol. ii.
[3547] Ibid., pp. 446, 494.
[3548] “Which was delivered in the presence…and in which etc.” This appears to be the sense intended, and is that given by M. Renan: “Sermo qui factus est.” Cureton renders, “Who was in the presence, etc.,” and supposes that Melito first saw and conversed with the emperor, and afterwards wrote this discourse. Melito speaks of it more than once as written. This view, however, does not dispose of that fact that Melito is here affirmed to have “exhorted (lit., said to) Cæsar, etc.” It was clearly meant to be understood that the discourse, or speech, was spoken: the references to writing merely show that it was written, either before or after the delivery.
[3549] Cureton: “passion.” The word *** takes both meanings.
[3550] Lit. “sojourn beneath it.”
[3551] Cureton: “act foolishly.”
[3552] Lit. “sight.”
[3553] Comp. Rom. x. 18.
[3554] Cureton: “light without envy.” But the expression resembles the Gk. ἀφθόνως, ungrudgingly, without stint.
[3555] Lit. “to the ditch is his way.” Comp. Matt. xv. 14.
[3556] See vol. i. p. 280, this series, where the following lines are quoted by Justin Martyr from the Sibylline Oracles:—
“But we have strayed from the Immortal’s ways,
And worship with a dull and senseless mind
Idols, the workmanship of our own hands,
And images and figures of dead men.”
[3557] Cureton: “those belonging to the Cæsars.” But the Cæsars themselves are clearly meant.
[3558] Cureton: “sacks full.” The first word is used of a leathern pouch or wallet, as in Luke x. 4 (Peshito) for πήρα.
