Græco, Latinum interpretem sequutus scripsit, “ne quoque finis
insisteret.” Eodem cap. n. 4. refert Irenæus, quod Pater per
Monogenem emiserit Horon in imagine sua, ἀσύζυγον, ἀθήλυντον: ubi
interpres perperam legens ἀσυζύγῳ, ἀθηλύντῳ, vel, ut alii volunt,
ἀῥῥενοθήλει, perperam et vertit, “sine conjuge masculo‐fœmina.”
Eadem culpa tenetur et Tertullianus, cap. cit. “Pater per Monogenem
Nun, quem supra diximus Horon, in hæc promit in imagine sua fœmina‐
mare.” Nempe uterque id ad imaginem refert, quod Horo soli convenire
posse recta ratio demonstrat. Culpam hanc non sustineret
Tertullianus, si textum Græcum hic potius quam interpretem
consuluisset. Paulo post, Sophian ab Horo mundatam et confirmatam,
ac suæ restitutam conjugationi cum dixisset Irenæus, addit:
Χωρισθείσης γὰρ τῆς ἐνθυμήσεως ἀπ᾽ αὐτῆς σὺν τῷ ἐπιγινομένῳ πάθει,
αὐτὴν μὲν ἐντὸς Πληρώματος μεῖναι· τὴν δὲ ἐνθύμησιν αὐτῆς σὺν τῷ
πάθει ὑπὸ τοῦ Ὅρου ἀφορισθῆναι καὶ ἀποσταυρωθῆναι. Quæ sic reddidit
interpres: “Separata enim intentione ab ea, cum appendice passione,
ipsam quidem infra Pleroma perseverasse: concupiscentiam vero ejus
cum passione ab Horo separatam, et crucifixam, et extra cum factam
esse, &c.” ubi duo peccat, primum quod, σὺν τῷ ἐπιγινομένῳ πάθει,
vertit, “cum appendice passione;” vertendum erat, “cum passione quæ
supervenerat.” Secundum, quod ἀποσταυρωθῆναι vertit, “crucifixam;”
hic significat, quasi “vallo cinctam et disjunctam” a Pleromate.
Eadem omnino peccat et Tertullianus, scribens: “Enthymesin ejus et
illam appendicem passionem ab Horo relegatam et crucifixam.” Hæc et
plura alia, quæ identidem in notis observavi, invicte, ni fallor,
probant, Tertullianum, ut Græcum Irenæum legerit, (quod non nego) ab
eo tamen sæpe defecisse, ut Latini interpretis, et quidem interdum
errantis, vestigia sectaretur.
81 _Contra Julianum Pelagianum_, I. c. 3. he has quoted the last clause
of IV. ii. 7; and c. 7. the last paragraph of V. xvii. 1.
82 Eusebius indeed says (V. xxiii. 1) that the Churches of _all Asia_
were united in differing from the rest of the world; but it is
evident, from chap. xxv. that he means Asia Minor; for he mentions
the bishops of Jerusalem, Cæsarea, Tyre, and Ptolemais, as asserting
that the Church of Alexandria agreed with them in their present
practice, which was the same as that of the West.
