Note 6 — Chapter IX · THE MEMOIRS OF THE YEAR ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY.

In reply to Judge Waite, who assigned A.D. 210 to Celsus, Professor Curtiss says that “Dr. Keim, who belongs to the most liberal German school, and who made a very careful investigation of the subject (Celsus Wahres Wort, Zurich, 1873), sets the date in the year 177 or 178, A.D.” See also Smith and Wace’s Dictionary of Christian Biography, London, 1877, vol. 1, p. 436; Fisher, p. 42; “Heart of Christ,” by Edmund H. Sears, 1873, p. 148; Abbott’s Fourth Gospel, etc., p. 58. See also Sanday, p. 262, and Canonicity, by Dr. Charteris, 1880, p. 369. Origen, in one place, in answering his objections, speaks of him as “a man long since dead.”
