Introduction, by the American Editor.
[5345] Cœnas puras: probably the παρασκευαί mentioned in John xix. 31.
[5346] See also John xix. 31.
[5350] In other words, Marcion has indeed tampered with the passage, omitting some things; but (strange to say) he has left untouched the statement which, from his point of view, most required suppression.
[5351] Allegorica: on the importance of rendering ἀλληγορούμενα by this participle rather than by the noun “an allegory,” as in A.V., see Bp. Marsh’s Lectures on the Interpretation of the Bible, pp. 351–354.
[5352] Ostensiones: revelationes perhaps.
[5354] Apud quem.
[5356] Tertullian, in his terse style, takes the case of the emperor, as the highest potentate, who, if any, might make free with his power. He seizes the moment when Galba was saluted emperor on Nero’s death, and was the means of delivering so many out of the hands of the tyrant, in order to sharpen the point of his illustration.
[5362] Utraque vacabat.
