Introductory Note to Theophilus of Antioch
Chapter XIV.—Of Loving Our Enemies.
Chapter XV.—The Innocence of the Christians Defended.
[670] At the theatres. [N.B.—Let the easy Christians of our age be reminded of this warning; frequenting, as they do, plays and operas equally defiling, impure in purport often, even when not gross in language.]
Chapter XVI.—Uncertain Conjectures of the Philosophers.
[671] i.e., tracing back its history through an infinate duration.
[672] The following quotation is not from the Republic, but from the third book of the Laws, p. 676.
[673] Plato goes on to say, that if he had this pledge of divine assistance, he would go further in his speculation; and therefore Theophilus argues that what he said without this assistance he felt to be unsafe.
Chapter XVII.—Accurate Information of the Christians.
[674] Literally, “contained.”
[675] [See supra, book i. cap. 14, p. 93, the author’s account of his own conversion.]
Chapter XVIII.—Errors of the Greeks About the Deluge.
[676] λαός, from λᾶας, stone.
Chapter XIX.—Accurate Account of the Deluge.
[677] Literally, in Greek, ἀνάπαυσις.
[678] Deucalion, from Δεῦτε, come, and καλἐω, I call.
Chapter XX.—Antiquity of Moses.
[679] Or, reading ὀ γὰρ Σέθως, “Sethos is also called Egyptus.”
Chapter XXI.—Of Manetho’s Inaccuracy.
[680] The Benedictine editor shows that this should be 393 years.
[681] The correct date would be about 400 years.
Chapter XXII.—Antiquity of the Temple.
[682] Others read 134 years.
[683] Literally, Hieromus.
[684] In this register it seems that the number of years during which each person lived does not include the years of his reign.
Chapter XXIII.—Prophets More Ancient Than Greek Writers.
