³³² Or, "why was it."

³³³ Ps. xxiv. 7.

³³⁴ Chap. lxxvi.

³³⁵ katadesmoi, by some thought to be verses by which evil spirits, once expelled, were kept from returning. Plato (Rep.) speaks of incantations by which demons were summoned to the help of those who practised such rites; but Justin refers to them only as being expelled. Others regard them as drugs.

³³⁶ Ps. cxlviii. 1, 2. [Kaye's citations (chap. ix. p. 181) from Tatian, concerning angels and demons, are valuable aids to the understanding of Justin in his frequent references to this subject.]

³³⁷ In both mss. "people."

³³⁸ Isa. lxvi. 5-11.

³⁴⁸ Literally, "He said accordingly." Ps. lxviii. 18.

³⁴⁹ Joel ii. 28 f.

³⁵⁰ [The Shechinah probably attended the descent of the Holy Spirit, and what follows in the note seems a gratuitous explanation. The Ebionite corruption of a truth need not be resorted to. See chap. cxxviii: The fire in the bush.] Justin learned this either from tradition or from apocryphal books. Mention is made of a fire both in the Ebionite Gospel and in another publication called Pauli praedicatio, the readers and users of which denied that the rite of baptism had been duly performed, unless quam mox in aquam descenderunt, statim super aquam ignis appareat.

³⁵¹ Literally, "sat."

³⁵² Isa. i. 27.

³⁵³ Ps. ii. 7.

³⁵⁹ [A clumsy exposition of St. John, iii. 14.]

³⁶⁰ Or, "ashes," spodwn for spondwn.
