Introduction, by the American Editor.

^[4943] Luke xviii. 40.

^[4944] Atquin.

^[4945] Infameretis.

^[4946] Luke xviii. 42.

^[4947] Remunerator.

^[4948] That is, in the sound only, and phantom of the word; an allusion to the Docetic absurdity of Marcion.

^[4949] That is, that He was “Son of David,” etc.

^[4950] Censum: that is, must believe Him born of her.

^[4951] This, perhaps, is the meaning in a clause which is itself more antithetical than clear: “Ruens in antithesim, ruentem et ipsam antithesim.”

^[4952] In book iii. chap. vii. (at the beginning), occurs the same proverb of Marcion and the Jews. See p. 327.

^[4953] See 2 Sam. v. 6-8.

^[4954] The Marcionites.

^[4955] See 2 Sam. v. 8.

^[4956] Fidei equidem pravæ: see preceding page, note 3.

^[4957] Atquin.

^[4958] Et hoc filius David: i.e., præstitit, “showed Himself good,” perhaps.

^[4959] De suo retundendam. Instead of contrast, he shows the similarity of the cases.

^[4960] Ejusdem carnis: i.e., infirmæ (Oehler).

^[4961] Exorandum sibi.

Chapter XXXVII.—Christ and Zacchæus. The Salvation of the Body as Denied by Marcion. The Parable of the Ten Servants Entrusted with Ten Pounds. Christ a Judge, Who is to Administer the Will of the Austere Man, I.e. The Creator.

^[4962] Luke xix. 9.

^[4963] The older reading, which we here follow, is: “Enimvero Zacchæus etsi allophylus fortasse,” etc. Oehler, however, points the passage thus: “Enimvero Zacchæus etsi allophylus, fortasse,” etc., removing the doubt, and making Zacchæus “of another race” than the Jewish, for certain. This is probably more than Tertullian meant to say.
