Anti-Marcion
Show All Footnotes & Jump to 4957
Introduction, by the American Editor.
[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.
[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.
[4964] Aliqua notitia afflatus.
[4966] In the same passage.
[4967] For the history of Zacchæus, see Luke xix. 1-10.
