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..

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