[Footnote 54: τινὶ σπάδοντι πρεσβυτέρῳ. Some would translate “priest”; but the ordination of a eunuch would be contrary to the Canons.] [Footnote 55: ἐπιτροπεύων.] [Footnote 56: Döllinger (_op. cit._) thinks there is no doubt from this that Callistus was both condemned and set free as a Christian.] [Footnote 57: From this, from the intervention of the brethren with Carpophorus and from the favour shown to him by Hyacinthus, Döllinger (_op. cit._) draws the conclusion that Callistus’ conduct up to this point must have seemed to the community unlucky rather than criminal.] [Footnote 58: The famous cemetery in the Via Appia still bearing his name, where many of the early Popes are buried.] [Footnote 59: ὑποκρίσει.] [Footnote 60: ἐξηφάνισε. See n. 3 on p. 127.] [Footnote 61: _i. e._ imagining himself to be the lawful Pope.] [Footnote 62: Evidently refers to Hippolytus’ charge of Sabellianism against him.] [Footnote 63: γόης. Perhaps a juggler with words; but this sense is unusual.] [Footnote 64: See note on p. 125 _supra_. Döllinger (_op. cit._, p. 219) thinks that Hippolytus separated the Logos from God, and suggests that Origen may have shared the error.] [Footnote 65: Bishop Wordsworth (_St. Hippolytus and the Church of Rome_, 1880, p. 87) would translate: “The Word is the Son and also the Father, being called by a different name, but that the indivisible Spirit is one.”] [Footnote 66: Cf. John xiv. 11. The N.T. has πιστεύετε μοι, “Believe me” (imperative).] [Footnote 67: Döllinger (_op. cit._, p. 216) says this is a correct statement of the Catholic position.] [Footnote 68: Bunsen would read ἐκφυγών, [“thus] avoiding.” Cruice inserts οὕτω πως ἐλπίζων, “thus hoping to avoid.” Döllinger inserts ὥστε before ἐκφυγεῖν.] [Footnote 69: If this Theodotus is, as seems probable, the Theodotus of Byzantium mentioned in Book VII (p. 390 Cr.), who was excommunicated by Victor, his heresy was, as Hippolytus himself records, Adoptianist, and his opinions must have been poles asunder from those of Callistus.] [Footnote 70: Here as elsewhere throughout this chapter, Hippolytus assumes that he is the rightful head of the Catholic Church, and that Callistus and the more numerous party within it are only a “school.”] [Footnote 71: συναγόμενος, “gathered in,” “a member of any other man’s congregation,” Wordsworth; _ab alio fuerat seductus_, Cruice, whom Macmahon follows.] [Footnote 72: A logical term.] [Footnote 73: εἰς κλήρους. Döllinger (_op. cit._, p. 140) points out that Lectors, acolyths, Ostiarii and sub-deacons were all included in the phrase ἐν κλήρῳ afterwards used, and that such persons were not forbidden to marry. Yet the context is against him, and there can be no doubt that Hippolytus intends to imply, whether with truth or not, that Callistus did not degrade even the superior clergy for marrying more than once.] [Footnote 74: ἐν κλήρῳ.] [Footnote 75: Rom. xiv. 4.] [Footnote 76: Matt. xiii. 29.] [Footnote 77: εἰς ὁμοίωμα.]
