(ch. i. 1), _"at Ephesus,"_ are missing; and Basil the Great, who lived in the fourth century, says he had seen copies which, "ancient" even at that early date, spoke of the readers as _"those who are, and the faithful in Christ Jesus."_ When it is observed, however, that Basil still says in that passage the apostle is _"writing to the Ephesians,"_ in all honesty we must admit another interpretation of his words to be possible. Add to these early witnesses that Ephesus is not named in the text the further fact that, though St. Paul had lived and laboured between two and three years in Ephesus, there is absolutely no mention of any name of those with whom he had been associated, and what on the assumption of the Ephesian destination of the epistle is stranger still, no reference to the work, unless we may be allowed to regard the "sealing with the Holy Spirit of promise" as a reminiscence of Acts xix. 1-7. We must not make too much, however, of this absence of personal greetings. Tychicus can do, _vivâ voce,_ all that needs to be done in that way. St. Paul had been "received as an angel of God, or even as Christ Jesus," by Galatians, not one of whom is mentioned in the letter sent to the Galatians.
