[16.5] Acts xiii. 5.

[16.6] The author of Acts, being a partisan of the hierarchy and of
church-domination, has perhaps inserted this circumstance.
Paul knew nothing of any such ordination or consecration. He
received his commission from Christ, and did not consider
himself any more especially the envoy of the church of Antioch
than of that of Jerusalem.

[16.40] Hor. Sat. I. ix. 70; _Judæus_ Apella, appears to be a joke of
the same kind (see the scholiasts Acron and Porphyrion upon
Hor. Sat. I. v. 100); compare the passage from S. Anitus,
_Poemata_, v. 364, cited by Forcellini on the word Apella,
but which I do not find either in the editions of this Father

[16.57] Pers. v. 179-184; Juv. vi. 157-160. The remarkable
preoccupation about Judaism which may be observed in the Roman
writers of the first century, especially the satirists, arises
from this circumstance.

[16.59] Cic. _De Prov._ consul, 5.

[16.60] The children whose appearance had most pleased me on my first

4479, 4480, 6015).

different facts which I have witnessed.

[16.66] Born in Haran.

[16.67] See Forcellini, word _Syrus._ This word designates Orientals
generally. Leblant, _Inscript._ Chrét. de la Gaule, i. p. 207,

[16.68] Juvenal, iii. 62-63.

[16.69] Such is at this day the temperament of the Syrian Christian.
