Notes on the current edition

Epistles

1. Praise of the Ephesians
2. Lit. The refuse of: the word was used of criminals and others whose death was regarded as a piacular sacrifice, and so it came to mean a sacrifice of this kind. Ultimately it lost its meaning so far as to become merely a form of epistolary politeness.
