383 [Note this testimony to Mary's descent from David.]

384 The text is, auton ton Abraam patera. Thirlby proposed auton tou Adam: Maranus changed this into autou ton Adam patera.

385 It is not easy, says Maranus, to say in what Scripture Christ is so called. [Clearly he refers to the Dayspring (St. Luke, ii. 78) as the LXX. render many texts of the O.T. See Zech. iii. 8] Perhaps Justin had in his mind the passage, "This the day which the Lord hath made" (Ps. cxviii. 24). Clem. Alex. teaches that Christ is here referred to.

386 Luke i. 35. See Meyer in loc..

387 Luke i. 38.

393 Not found in mss.

394 kai twn didaskalwn, adopted instead of kata thn didaskalian, "according to their instructions."

395 apo tou orouj. Justin seems to have supposed that the Jews came on Christ from some point of the hill while He was in the valley below. Epi tou orouj and epi to oroj have been suggested.

396 Hos. x. 6.

397 Ps. ii. 7; Matt. iii. 17.

398 Matt. iv. 9, 10.

402 [Breast, rather. The (koilh) cavity of the nobler viscera.]

403 Justin refers to the opinion of the Docetes, that Christ suffered in appearance merely, and not in reality.

404 See note on chap. xcviii.

405 Ibid.

406 This demonstration is not given. [It could not be. The woman was herself frightened by the direct interposition of God. 1 Sam. xxcii. 12, 13.]

407 Sylburg proposed dikaiouj ginesqai for di ouj gin, "to strive earnestly to become righteous, and at death to pray."

409 Matt. v. 20.

410 Num. xxiv. 17.

411 [Or, "Dayspring."] Zech. vi. 12 (according to LXX.).

427 Or, "resurrection of the saints."

428 Justin seems to mean that the renewal of heaven and earth dates from the incarnation of Christ. [St. Matt. xix. 28.]
