159 In other words, Marcion has indeed tampered with the passage, omitting some things; but (strange to say) he has left untouched the statement which, from his point of view, most required suppression.

160 Allegorica: on the importance of rendering a0llhgorou/mena by this participle rather than by the noun "an allegory," as in A.V., see Bp. Marsh's Lectures on the Interpretation of the Bible, pp. 351-354.

163 Apud quem.

164 Gal. v. 1.

165 Tertullian, in his terse style, takes the case of the emperor, as the highest potentate, who, if any, might make free with his power. He seizes the moment when Galba was saluted emperor on Nero's death, and was the means of delivering so many out of the hands of the tyrant, in order to sharpen the point of his illustration.

206 Per naturae dissimulationem. This Fr. Junius explains by th\n fu/sewj a0fosi/wsin, in the sense of "original sin" (a0fosiou=sqai seems to point to sin requiring expiation).

222 Isa. viii. 14.

223 Isa. xxviii. 16.

224 "Etiam Marcion servat." These words cannot mean, as they have been translated, that "Marcion even retains these words" of prophecy; for whenever Marcion fell in with any traces of this prophecy of Christ, he seems to have expunged them. In Luke ii. 34 holy Simeon referred to it, but Marcion rejected this chapter of the evangelist; and although he admitted much of chap. xx., it is remarkable that he erased the ten verses thereof from the end of the eighth to the end of the eighteenth. Now in vers. 17, 18, Marcion found the prophecy again referred to. See Epiphanius, Adv. Hoeres. xlii. Schol. 55.
