Notes on the current edition

De Spiritu Sancto (Orat. 31)

1. Desunt omnia in a usque ad c. 6 medium
2. 1. 1 τοιοῦτος] τοσοῦτος be ’ Or. 1 ’ || 2 om διελθὼν δία μέσου ἀυτῶν d ||
3. 6 επεισαξεις d
4. 1. So the Son has escaped your slotting; but even among those who shrink from extremes in their opposition to the Son, there are some who think there is no scriptural authority for calling the Holy Spirit God. They part company with the extreme men, and then rejoin them, like roads or rivers that divide and then meet again.
5. 2. διελθὼν διὰ μ.] St John viii 59. This ref. should be added to those given by Tischendorf in loco.
6. 3. λιθοβολεῖ] cp. ii. 2.
7. 6. ἄγραφον] i.e. not so called in Scripture.
8. 7. περὶ τ. υἱ. μετριάζοντες] Ath. ad Serap. i 1 makes the same complaint: ἐξελθόντων μὲν τινῶν ἀπὸ τῶν Ἀρειανῶν διὰ τὴν κατὰ τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ βλασφημίαν, φρονούντων δὲ κατὰ τοῦ ἃγ ἴου πνεύματος. See Swete in Diet. Chr. Biogr., s.v. ‘Holy Ghost,' p. 121, 122.
9. ib. ἐπὶ τῶν ὁδῶν evp. ἐ.] Roads and rivers sometimes divide, and then the divergent portions inert again lower down. So here, people differ on most points but agree on others, so that you never can be sure where they agree and where they are at issue.
