Notes on the current edition

De Spiritu Sancto (Orat. 31)

1. 4 υπονοια (sic) και μυθοι τινες df || 13 εφ οις] εν οις d || ισχυρος ουτος df 17. 17 φησομεν] φησαιμεν b || 19 φησι] φης f
2. 1. θεὸν μισότεκνον] Saturn.
3. 5. ὑπόνοιαί τινες] ‘a sort of allegoriest.’
4. 6. τριχθὰ δὲ πάντα δ.] Hom. II. xv 189.
5. 8. ταῖς ὕλαις κ. τ. ἀξ.] ‘having separate elements under them, and holding different ranks.’
6. ib. τὸ ἡμέτερον] ‘what we believe.’
7. 9. μερὶς τῷ Ἰακώβ] Jer. x 16.
8. 10. τὸ ἓν ἕκαστον κτλ] ‘but each of the Three Persons is as entirely one with Those with whom He is connected, as He is with Himself, because of the identity of essence and of power that is between Them.’
9. 14. χάρις τῆς θεωρίας] ‘thanks be to God for the line of thought.’
10. 17. It is said that things of the same nature are numbered together, so that if the three Persons are consubstantial they must be three Gods. For fear of saying this, you deny the Godhead of two of them, which is like cutting your throat for fear of dying.
11. 18. τὰ ὀμ. συναριθμεῖται] Things of the same nature, like men, trees, or horses, come under a number which sums them up, as three trees, four horses, five men ; you cannot, acc. to the disputant, apply them to heterogeneous things, and class a tree, a horse, and a man together as being three. Cp. Bas. de Sp. S. 17.
