Anti-Marcion

Introduction, by the American Editor.
[6120] Phil. iii. 21. [I have adhered to the original Greek, by a trifling verbal change, because Tertullian’s argument requires it.]
[6122] Deputari, which is an old reading, should certainly be demutari, and so say the best authorities. Oehler reads the former, but contends for the latter.
[6124] Inspector: perhaps critic.
[6125] Retro: in the former portions of this treatise.
[6126] Expunxerimus.
[6127] Qua eruimus ipsa ista.
[6128] [Elucidation II.]
[6129] Compendii gratia. [The reference here to the De Præscript. forbids us to date this tract earlier than 207 a.d. Of this Hermogenes, we only know that he was probably a Carthaginian, a painter, and of a versatile and clever mind.]
[6130] This is the criterion prescribed in the Præscript. Hæret.xxxi. xxxiv., and often applied by Tertullian. See our Anti-Marcion, pp. 272, 345, 470, and passim.
[6131] The tam novella is a relative phrase, referring to the fore-mentioned rule.
[6132] Denique.
[6133] Maldicere singuiis.
[6134] Probably by painting idols (Rigalt.; and so Neander).
[6135] It is uncertain whether Tertullian means to charge Hermogenes with defending polygamy, or only second marriages, in the phrase nubit assidue. Probably the latter, which was offensive to the rigorous Tertullian; and so Neander puts it.
[6136] Quoting Gen. i. 28, “Be fruitful and multiply” (Rigalt.).
