Note 126 — Chapter II
Neil Buchanan translation
Footnote 126:
(return)
Dominus in certain circumstances means more than deus; see Tertull. Apol. It signifies more than Soter: see Irenæus I. 1. 3: τον σωτηρα λεγουσιν, ουδε γαρ κυριον ονομαζειν αυτον θελουσιν—κυριος and δεσποτης are almost synonymous. See Philo. Quis. rer. div. heres. 6: συνωνυμα ταυτα ειναι λεγεται.
