Note 197 — Chapter XI · JUDAEA AND THE JEWS. (continued 2)
William P. (William Purdie) Dickson translation
The remarkable account in Origen’s treatise against Celsus, ii. 13 (written about 250), shows that the circumcision of the non-Jew involved de iure the penalty of death, although it is not clear how far this found application to Samaritans or Sicarii.
