Notes on the current edition

De Theologia (Orat. 28)

1. 4 συηινομενη] συγγενομένη def: συγγενομένου ‘Or. ’ ǁ 8 κατ’ αυτους] κάτα τούτους ac ‘duo Reg. Or. I’ 20. 11 α παρεσχεν] ἅπερ ἔσχεν d || 15 ακουσωμεν] σομεν f
2. 1. φωνάς] Ezek. i 24, 28; ὁρμάς, i 19 foil.; πράξεις, ii 9.
3. 3. τοῦ ἥγ’. τύπωσις] ‘an impres- sion upon the rational ’ Ἡγμε., i 3. Συγγινομένη by a very natural hyperbaton for νου.
4. 6. οἱ τὰ τ. ἐνεργ] ‘those upon whom such effects are ’ wrought.
5. 8. τῶν κατ’ αὐτούς] ‘those of their sort.
6. ib. ἵστη ἐν ὑποστ.] Jer. xxiii 18. Ὑπόστ. is ‘an establishment’ of some kind; in 2 Sam. xxiii 14 of ‘a garri- son’; in Jer. prob. ‘a court,’ or ‘familiar circle.’ Gr. however curiously misunderstood the word to = ὑπόστασις in the sense of οὐσία (cp. § 9).
7. 20. St Paul only saw through α glass] in α riddle.
8. 11. ἔκφορα] ‘capable of being di- vulged’; cp. Plat. Lack. 201 A ῾Ο τρ. οὐρ., 2 Cor. xii 2.
9. 12. πρόοδος] nom. to ἢν, not to παρέσχεν. He calls it a πρόοδος to signify that it represented a progress in St P.'s spiritual experience, and not merely an incidental privilege. Cp. v 26.
10. 13. etirtp τοῦτο] Gr. will not even admit that we can be sure that St P. thereby became acquainted with the Divine nature. The ἁρπαγῆ was in the strictest sense a μυστήριον.

12. 17. μὴ ἰδ’. τὴν γνῶσιν] 2 Cor. xi 6.
