De Theologia (Orat. 28)

1. 4 ορεκτον] -των e 7. 6 ὀλαῖς] ὅλως abde ‘Coisl. 3 Or. ’ ǁ 7 εφοδιες] ’Coisl. 1 ορμαις’ (perperam) || 11 σωματα]+ ω f || 12 αυτη] αὐτή ut vid cef ΙΙ ταύτα δε] + ω f ΙΙ 15 om η cdef
2. 1 τῷ τ. π. ἐρευνῶντι κτλ.] 1 Cor. ii 10.,
3. 3. τοῦ πρόσω] ‘no longer needs to advance.’
4. ib. τὸ ἔσχ. ὀρεκτόν] ‘ the ultimate object of ’ The phrase comes originally from Arist. Metaph. xii 7.
5. 4. πολιτεία τ. ὑψηλοῦ] ‘all a high-minded man's life.’
6. 7. to begin with, God cannot be corporeal; which would involve being dissoluble.
7. 6. ὅλαις τ. λου....ἐφόδοις] The reading ὅλως (‘if you rely at all’) would not make so strong an argu- ment against Eunomian self-confidence. Ἔφοδος ‘method.’
8. 8. βασανιζόμενος] a logical pa- rallel to ὅλαις;š—‘however much you rack it.’
9. 9. καυχ. εἰς τὰ ἄμετρα] ‘boasting of your command of the infinite.’
10. ib. σῶμα] of course, a very un- likely alternative for the Eunomians to choose; and it must be admitted that Gr. somewhat begs the question as against them, in the next clause.
11. ib. καἰ πῶς] sc. σῶμά ἐστιν (or ἄν εἴη).
12. 11. ἢ καἰ ταῦτα σ.] ‘Are bodies to be so described?’
13. ib. τ. ἐξουσίας] ‘a stretch of power,’ to confer such properties upon a body!
14. 12. σῶμα μέν, οὐχὶ τ. δέ] ‘Will you make Him a body and drop these attributes?’ This Gr. terizes as ‘gross.’ For παχύτητος cp. § 4 τὸ παχὺ τοῦτο σαρκίον.
15. 13. ἵνα...ἔχῃ] B good example that not ‘final’ use of ἴνα which is familiar in the N.T.
16. 14. σεπτόν] from σέβεσθαι, ‘an object of devotion.’ Gr. mean that the fact of being περιγραπτόν would by itself preclude being σεπτόν, but that all that is connoted by περιγράπτῳ would.
