Introductory Note to Theophilus of Antioch
[618] Benedictine editor proposes “ they.”
Chapter XXXV.—Precepts from the Prophetic Books.
[619] Literally, “a nod.”
[621] Cf. Deut. iv. 19.
[627] Ps. xiv. 1, 3.
[633] Od., xi. 222.
[634] Il., xvi. 856.
[635] xxiii. 71.
[637] We have adopted the reading of Wolf in the text. The reading of the mss. is, “He who desires to learn should desire to learn.” Perhaps the most satisfactory emendation is that of Heumann, who reads φιλομυθεῖν instead of φιλομαθεῖν: “He who desires to learn should also desire to discuss subjects, and hold conversations on them.” In this case, Theophilus most probably borrows his remark from Aristotle, Metaphysic. i. c. 2.
Chapter II.—Profane Authors Had No Means of Knowing the Truth.
[638] While in Egypt, Pythagoras was admitted to the penetralia of the temples and the arcana of religion.
Chapter III.—Their Contradictions.
