⁴⁰⁷ mustagwgountej. mustagwgew came ultimately to equal "baptize." The word and its correlatives had long passed out of special mystic use. In Cicero a mustagwgoj is a "Cicerone" (Verr. iv. 59) and Strabo uses mustagwgein for to be a guide. (812.)

⁴⁰⁸ Reference appears to be made here to offices at the 3d, 6th, and 9th hours, and to morning and evening services, without specification of their number.

⁴²¹ I. Cor. xi. 24. Matt. xxvi. 28. But it is to be noticed that for St. Paul's word klwmenon, i.e. "being broken," Theodoret substitutes qruptomenon, i.e. "being crushed," or "broken small," a verb not used by the evangelists. And the clause "for the remission of sins" is misplaced.

⁴³⁶ Cf. note on page 288. This letter, or rather doctrinal statement is incomplete. Garnerius supposes it to have been written during Theodoret's retirement after the Council of Chalcedon. There he cut himself off from society and wished to devote himself to study and contemplation.

⁴⁵⁸ It will be observed that our author omits the verse containing the famous paronomasia, and that what he regards the Saviour as confirming is not any supposed authority on the part of the speaker but the identification of Himself with the Christ and of the Christ with the Son of the living God.

⁴⁶⁸ Ephes. v. 5. Here the A. V. rather obscures the force of the original. The R. V. alters to "in the kingdom of Christ and God," but even this hardly brings out Theodoret's views of en th basileia tou Xristou kai Qeou, "in the kingdom of the Christ and God." The mss. do not vary. At the same time it will be borne in mind that the anarthrous use of "Qeoj" is not infrequent, and that some commentators (cf. Alford ad loc.) would hesitate to ground on this passage the argument of the text. The reading of )

and B in John i. 18 "o monogenhj Qeoj" is significant.
