18. 1 Schwartz thinks with much probability that κοινόν is a gloss. lf so, the meaning of the original would be “ to the public exhibition,” but it seems just possible that τὸ is used substantively.

36. 1 Peter 5, 6
37. 1 Οr “witness.” The tranriation οf all this assage is rendered difficult by the impossibility of translating the Greek word μάρτυς by the same English word in all passages. “ Martyr ’’ has been adopted so far as posrible but the sense οf “ witness ’’ is much more present than it is in the Εnglish word, for though it is used in a more οr less technical sense, it does not as yet imply death.
38. Αcts 7, 60
39. Gal. 6, 4
40. 1 The “beart’’ is the Devil, and those whom he had swallowed are those who had at first recanted; the hope οf the confessors was to regain backsliders and so rescue them from the ’s maw. 2 That is, the Church.
41. Rev. 1, 9
42. Tertull. Apol. 5
43. 1 Dio Cassius, lxxi. 8, who ascribes the miracle to the Egyptian magician, Arnuphis. Capitolinus in the life οf Marcus Aurelius ascribes it to the prayer of the emperor, and the emperor himself on his coins represents Jupiter as hurling thunderbolts against the Germans.
44. Iren. 3, 3. 3
45. 2 Tim. 4, 21
46. Iren. 3,3,3
47. 1 Tim. 6, 20
48. 1 The letter in question is generally called “the First Epistle of ” but the true title is “the Epistle οf the church in Rome to the Church in ” ΡrobabΙy the subject of εἰλήφει in the last sentence is the church in Corinth supplied from the general sense of the preceding paragraph, as it clearly refers to Corinth and not to Rome.
49. Iren. 2, 31, 2
50. Iren. 2, 32, 4
51. 1 Eusebius seems to slip in making his extract from Irenaeus, and by omitting the end of the sentence leaves “ so far ’’ hanging in the air. In the original the sentence runs : “ They fall so far short οf raising the dead, as did the Lord etc. . . ., that they do not even believe that it can be ” The “ they ’’ referred to are the Simonians and Carpocratians — two early heresics.

71. Matt. 7, 15
72. 1 The meaning is plain, though it is not quite cIear whether the subject of the infinitives κωλύεσθαι σιωπᾶν) is Montanus or the “ seducing ” but there is a word too much in the Greek and either κωλύεσθαι or σιωπᾶν must be an interpolation.
73. John I4, 26
74. Matt. 23, 34
75. 1 Οr possibly, Urbanus. Nothing is known about him, but Valesius thinks that the words “ according to Asterius Orbanus ” are a misplaced marginal note giving the name οf the writer of this treatise. The phrase certainly is awkward, but it seems equally possible that the text is right and that Asterius was the name of a Montanist writer.
76. Acts 11, 28.21, 10 15, 32, 2l,9.
77. Eph. 4, 11 ff. 1 Cor. 1, 7
78. 1 Schwartz and almost all editors except McGiffert emend this to Miltiades. This emendation certainly seems to be correct so far as historical fact is concerned, but the evidence of the mss. seems equally to prove that the mistake is due to Eusebius himself, and as such ought to appear in the text. See Introduction, p. lv., and cf. McGiffert's note ἄη loc.
79. Didache 11, 12
80. 1 This is the text of all MSS. except one which reads “the prophet.” ΡrobabΙy this is a correction, but the context shows that it is right and that the refercnce is to Themiso. Apparently Themiso and Alexanderd lived together.
81. Matt. 12, 33
82. John 1, 1, 2
83. Aeta Martyr. sel. ed. Gebhard, p. vi
84. John 21, 20, 13, 23

86. Philipp. 1, 28
87. Acts 5, 29
88. 1 It appears to have been some time before the Church adopted the Lenten fast of forty days. Oddly enough, according to the historian Socrates (Hist. Eccl. v. 22) the Greek name for Lent (τεσσαρακοστή=fortieth) is oldcr thc custom of fasting forty days. Forty hours was the traditional interval between the death and resurrection οf Jcsus. Thc present limits οf Lent appear to have been Rxed in the seventh century. see ’s Dictionary ὁ Christian Antiquities, s.v. Lent.
89. 1 That is, the Quartodeciman practice; sce note οn p. 503
90. 2 The meaning appears to be that the previous generation of Romans had not nlade an issue οut οf the Quartodeciman practiee, even whcn Asiatics visiting Rome observed it. The difficulty can be seen best if it be remembered that the Quartodeciman praetice would sometimes mean that Asiatics treated as Easter day what the Romans regarded as Good Friday.
91. 1 Commodus was killed οn December 31, A.D. 192.Pertinax ucceeded him, but was killed by the Praetorian guard οn Μarch 28, 193. The Praetorians sold the empire to Didius Iulianus, but the Pannonian legions acclaimed severus, Who marched On Rome. the Senate then turned against Didius Iulianus who was beheaded after a reign of only sixty-six day.
92. Matt. 11, 23
93. 1 Lit. “earth-measurement.” Νοte the play on the words.
94. 2 Apparently the meaning οf the passage is that these persons tried to introduce Greek learning generally into the interpretation of scripture. Though little noted at the time or since, their rejection by the Church is perhaps one οf the turning-points οf history.
