Notes on the current edition

De Filio (Orat. 30)

1. 1 om τὸ a ΙΙ 5 νοης] διανοῇς cf: νόεις d ΙΙ νογσεις] νόεις d ’Or. 1’ 13. 15 ἀοράτῳ] + καὶ f || 18 πὼς δάι d
2. 1. τὸν λόγον τὸν ἅκ.] John xiv 24. The ἐπεὶ carries us somewhat abruptly back to the main thesis of the section, οὐχ ὡς ὄντος κτλ.
3. 6. καὶ παντὸς τοῦ εὐγν] sc. ὁ λόγος. This is the usual interpretation of the fathers.
4. 13. ’λθ’. 8. — Thee the only true God and Jesus Christ, and There is none good but one, that is, God. There are other instances where similar language does not exclude the Son. Here, it is used to exclude the false gods, and it is the common Godhead of the Father and of the which is addressed as the only true God. The other text is an answer to one who, thinking Him to be only a man, called Him ‘good’; whereas the goodness was that of the Godhead. If this argument does not satisfy them., we can find them a text which, on their principles, would prove the Son alone to be God.
5. 8. ἵνα γινώσκωσι σέ] John xvii 3.
6. 10. οὐδεὶς ἀγαθός] Mark x 18.
7. 12. τὴν αὐτοαλήθειαν] viz. Christ, who says, “ I am the Truth."
8. 13. τῷ μόνῳ σοφῷ θεῶ Rom. xvi 27.
9. ib. τῷ μόνῳ ἔχ. ἀθ’.] 1 Tim. vi 16. Gr. turns the words into the ascriptive form.
10. 14. βασιλεῖ τῶν αἰ.] 1 Tim. i 17.
11. 15. νοήσεις] The foregoing quotations form the object, or accusative, to the verb : ‘If you so underSon stand τῷ μόνῳ σ. θ.‘ Usually in such cases we have τὸ τῷ μόνῳ κτλ.
12. 16. οἰχήσεταί σοι] ‘you condemn the Son to death, to darkness and He must go.’
13. 18. οὐκ ἀπολεῑ] ‘How can He help losing?’
14. 5 εκεινον] τοῦτον b || 6 om τὸ g ΙΙ 12 θεοῦ] + λογος df || 17 πείθοιμεν a || 19 οὕτος ο θεὸς bcf2 ’duo Reg.' ΙΙ 20 θεος] + καὶ cdf
15. 5. εἰ πρὸς ἐκ. ἀντιδιῄρητο] ‘If the words " only true" were used to distinguish God from Him,’ ‘to exclude Him.' Cp. § 4.
16. 6. κατὰ κοίνου] Something like ἀπὸ κοινοῦ in § 12, ‘ in general.' Of course τῆς θεότ. depends upon ἢν, not upon κατὰ κ. Gr. does not perceive what difficulties he is landed in, if he makes ’Jesus Christ' address the Godhead in general as His sender. Both Nestorianism and Sabellianism are near at hand. ἀπάντησιν ἔχει πρός] ‘is intended ἃς an answer to? Gr. has confused the Rich Young Ruler with the Lawyer who tempted Christ.
17. 9. καλ’ τοῦτο] sc. ἀγαθός.
18. 10. ὁ ἂγ. ἄνθρωπος] Matt, xii 35.
19. 11. δώσω τὴν β.] 1 Sam. xv 28.
20. 13. ἀγάθυνον] Ps. exxiv (exxv) 4.
21. 15. ἐφ’ οὒς ἡ ἀπόρρ. ] ‘upon whom the outflotv of the First Fair has come, even in a secondary sense.’
22. 17. πείθομεν τοῦτο] ’persuade you of this.’
23. 19. οὗτός σου θεός] Baruch iii 35 foll.
