Notes:
Born
Antioch, date unknown; died Tarsus 390 CE. Doctrinally associated with the interpretative school of
Antioch, in opposition to that of Alexandria. See vol. 1, pp. 452-54 of the Cayré work below and pp. 191-99 of Young. Julian [next note] delivered a thundering denunciation of
Diodorus quoted in Young, p. 193.
[1] He became bishop in 378, so these chronological indicators are somewhat wide of the mark: Julian the Apostate reigned 361-363; Valens -- after the eight months of Jovian -- was Eastern emperor (while his brother Valentinian ruled the West) 364-378. It was indeed Valens' death which made
Diodorus' bishopric possible.
[2] In Greek, Theodore Anagnostes, a church historian of the early sixth century. See Cayré, vol. 2, p. 112.
[3] What Protestant Bibles would call First and Second Samuel and First and Second Kings.
[4] "Exposition" inadequately represents
qewri/a here. It is a technical term in the interpretative School of
Antioch, signifying "an exposition of the spiritual significance of Scripture" in opposition to the allegorical interpretation of the School of Alexandria. See Cayré, pp. 453-54, and the Lampe work in the bibliography, s.v.
qewri/a, D2.
[5] The church historian
Eusebius of
Caesarea. See
epsilon 3737 and OCD(4) s.v. (pp.565-6).
[6] A sect, or rather a movement, beginning in the second century which gave the Melchizedek of
Genesis 14:18-20 and
Hebrews 6:6-10 an angelic or even divine status above that of Christ. It is exhaustively dealt with on pp. 87-101 of the work by Horton listed below.
[7]
gamma 427.
[8] An astronomer of the second century BCE:
iota 521 and OCD(4) 685-6 '
Hipparchus(3)'.
[9] Otherwise unattested. Harnack suggested that the name should be Euphrasios.
