Transcriber’s Note

Minor lapses in punctuation have been rectified. Certain other editorial or printing errors have been noted below, and corrected.

On p. 286, in the note on i. 12 of Colossians for ὡς ἐκλεκτοὶ τοῦ Θεοῦ, the citation of Romans 8:33, referring to ‘God’s elect’ was incorrect, appearing as Romans 8.3. The correction has been made.

On p. 321. there are two separate references to footnote 537. This seems to be intentional, and have been retained. Likewise, on p. 343, footnote 609 is repeated. It seems most likely that the second instance is correct, but both have been retained.

On p. 416, in the Index, the entry for ἅλας refers to iv. 5. However, the word and its gloss appear in iv. 6.

p. 28 He recal[l]s Added.

p. 43 n. 143 coin[ci]dence Added.

p. 121 n. 339 Zeitsc[h]rift Added.

p. 199 a similar pheno[nem/men]on Transposed.

p. 213 c. Eunom. iv ([p. ]I.p. 292) Removed.

p. 230 The thought underlying νῦν seems [to] be this Added.

p. 231 explaining it [as ]‘the later’ Added.

p. 323 theological con[fu]sion Added.

p. 373 n. 680 from the allied f[ro/or]m Apphias. Transposed.
