Notes (2)

  1. 1Paraphrased from Gennadius I, Fragmenta in epistulam ad Romanos 359.28, in reference to the passage cited in n. 2 below. There is probably some reference to etymology in the use of "pain" (po/nos) to gloss "wickedness" (ponhri/a). ↩
  2. 2i.e. Paul, in Romans 1:29 (where the headword appears in the dative case). See also, as Adler notes, 1 Corinthians 5:8 (genitive). ↩
