The original here is χειροτονίαν, from the LXX. Hefele remarks, that it may refer to the stretching forth of the hands, either to swear falsely, or to mock and insult one’s neighbour. Footnote 479: Isa. lviii. 6-10. Footnote 480: The Greek is here unintelligible: the Latin has, “that we should not rush on, as if proselytes to their law.” Footnote 481: Or it might be rendered, “things present.” Cotelerius reads, “de his instantibus.” Footnote 482: The Latin reads “Daniel” instead of “Enoch;” comp. Dan. ix. 24-27. Footnote 483: Dan. vii. 24, very loosely quoted. Footnote 484: Dan. vii. 7, 8, also very inaccurately cited. Footnote 485: We here follow the Latin text in preference to the Greek, which reads merely, “the covenant is ours.” What follows seems to show the correctness of the Latin, as the author proceeds to deny that the Jews had any further interest in the promises. Footnote 486: Ex. xxxi. 18, xxxiv. 28. Footnote 487: Ex. xxxii. 7; Deut. ix. 12. Footnote 488: Literally, “in hope of His faith.” Footnote 489: The Greek is here incorrect and unintelligible; and as the Latin omits the clause, our translation is merely conjectural. Hilgenfeld’s text, if we give a somewhat peculiar meaning to ἐλλιπεῖν, may be translated: “but as it is becoming in one who loves you not to fail in giving you what we have, I, though the very offscouring of you, have been eager to write to you.” Footnote 490: So the Cod. Sin. Hilgenfeld reads, with the Latin, “let us take.” Footnote 491: The Latin here departs entirely from the Greek text, and quotes as a saying of “the Son of God” the following precept, nowhere to be found in the New Testament: “Let us resist all iniquity, and hold it in hatred.” Hilgenfeld joins this clause to the former sentence. Footnote 492: Isa. v. 21. Footnote 493: An exact quotation from Matt. xx. 16 or xxii. 14. It is worthy of notice that this is the first example in the writings of the Fathers of a citation from any book of the New Testament, preceded by the authoritative formula, “it is written.” Footnote 494: Isa. liii. 5, 7. Footnote 495: Prov. i. 17, from the LXX., which has mistaken the meaning. Footnote 496: Gen. i. 26. Footnote 497: Matt. ix. 13; Mark ii. 17; Luke v. 32. Footnote 498: The Cod. Sin. reads, “neither would men have been saved by seeing Him.” Footnote 499: Cod. Sin. has, “their prophets,” but the corrector has changed it as above. Footnote 500: A very loose reference to Isa. liii. 8. Footnote 501: Cod. Sin. omits “and,” and reads, “when they smite their own shepherd, then the sheep of the pasture shall be scattered and fail.” Footnote 502: Zech. xiii. 7. Footnote 503: Cod. Sin. inserts “and.” Footnote 504: These are inaccurate and confused quotations from Ps. xxii. 21, 17, and cxix. 120. Footnote 505: Isa. l. 6, 7. Footnote 506: Isa. l. 8. Footnote 507:
