81 Cf. Lightfoot on Coloss. ii. 15, also the fragment of Letter 22, and Letter 60. 7.
84 Literally `at an even' [distance], as contrasted with (a) the same day (2, above), (b) the third day (en tritaiw diasthmati (6, below). en isw must therefore be equivalent in sense to deuteraiou. Possibly the literal sense is `[had the Resurrection taken place] at an equal interval between the Death and the [actual day of] the Resurrection.'
85 Cf. Ps. lv. 4, Ps. lxxxix. 47; Job. xviii. 14.
88 kata tou puroj. kata appears to have the predicative force so common in Aristotle. The Bened, translation `the weakness of fire against the asbestos' is based on a needless conjecture.
90 Cf. Luc. iv. 34, and Marc. v. 7.
98 thn uper autou dunamin. The Ben. version simplifies this difficult expression by ignoring the uper. Mr. E. N. Bennett has suggested to me that the true reading may be uperaulon for iper autou (auloj supra 8. 1, uperaulwj in Philo). I would add the suggestion that autou stood after uperaulon, and that the similarity of the five letters in ms. caused the second word to be dropped out. `His' exceeding immaterial power would be the resulting sense. (See Class. Review, 1890, No. iv. p. 182.)
100 Deut xxviii. 66, see Orat ii. 16, note 1.
102 Properly "let us destroy the tree with its bread" (i.e. fruit). The LXX, translate b???elahmô `upon his bread,' which is possible in itself; but they either mistook the verb, or followed some wrong reading. Their rendering is followed by all the Latin versions. For a comment on the latter see Tertull. adv. Marc. iii. 19, iv. 40.
105 Or `only after he had grown great,' i.e. to man's estate.
106 Isa. viii. 4, where note LXX.
109 Isa. lxv. 1, Isa. lxv. 2; cf. Rom. x. 20, sq.
113 Lit. "answer," a misrendering of the Hebrew.
115 Matt. xi. 13 cf. Luc. xvi. 16.
116 Cf. Ps. cxviii. 27, and for the literal sense, Num. vi. 25.
118 Isa. lxiii. 9 (LXX.), and the note in the (Queen's Printers') `Variorum' Bible.
