I have examined [Didache] _Justin_, _Irenaeus_, _Eusebius_, _Hippolytus_, _Cyril Al._, _Greg. Naz._, _Basil_, _Athan._, _Didymus_, _Cyril Hier._, _Chrys._, _Greg.

Cyril Al. twice (i. 270: ii. 807) quotes the place thus,-- [Greek: eu poieite tous echthrous humon, kai proseuchesthe huper ton epereazonton humas.] Chrys. (iii. 355) says [Greek: autos gar eipen, euchesthe huper ton echthron] [[Greek: humon]] and repeats the quotation at iii. 340 and xii. 453. So Tertull. (Apol. c. 31), pro inimicis deum orare, et _persecutoribus_ nostris bone precari.... 1, 5.
