Anti-Marcion

Introduction, by the American Editor.
[5855] Understand “corpus” (Oehler).
[5857] Dici capit: capit, like the Greek ἐνδέχεται, means, “is capable or susceptible;” often so in Tertullian.
[5858] We do not know from either Tertullian or Epiphanius what mutilations Marcion made in this epistle. This particular gap did not extend further than from Rom. 8.11-10.2. “However, we are informed by Origen (or rather Rufinus in his edition of Origen’s commentary on this epistle, on Rom. 14.23) that Marcion omitted the last two chapters as spurious, ending this epistle of his Apostolicon with the Rom. 14.23. It is also observable that Tertullian quotes no passage from Rom. 15; 16. in his confutation of Marcion from this epistle” (Lardner).
[5860] The god of the New Testament, according to Marcion.
[5862] Isa. xxix. 13 (Sept.)
[5865] In fidem Christi ex lege venientem. By “the law” he means the Old Testament in general, and probably refers to Rom. x. 17.
[5866] Rigaltius (after Fulvius Ursinus) read “non erasit,” but with insufficient authority; besides, the context shows that he was referring to the large erasure which he had already mentioned, so that the non is inadmissible. Marcion must, of course, be understood to have retained Rom. xi. 33; hence the argument in this sentence.
[5868] Isa. xl. 13, quoted (according to the Sept.) by the apostle in Rom. xi. 34, 35.
[5869] Plane: ironically.
