Gk. τὰ διαβατήρια , i.e., "[festival / rites] of crossing / passing over"; Philo uses this term for Passover (LSJ).
Cf. 1 Cor. 10.11.
Joh. 1.29.
Gk. τὸ σῶμα τὸ σωρήριον , which can be translated either as "the Savior's body" or "the saving / salvific body." The adjective appears frequently in this text; I have normally translated it as "Savior's."
Isa. 53.2 (LXX).
Alternatively, "spiritual"; Gk. λογικός, which is of course derived from the word λόγος, and thus Euseb. is playing on the fact that Christ was identified as the Logos . The phrase could almost be translated, "the Word's flesh."
Gk. τὸ σωτήριον θῦμα ; lit., "sacrifice of the Savior" or "saving / salvific sacrifice."
Both "luxuriating" and "luxury" are based on a Greek root ( τρύφ- ) that is very similar-sounding to the one for "nourishment" ( τρέφ-/τρόφ- ).
I.e., when the hours of daylight are much longer than the hours of night, and thus each of the twelve daylight hours is much longer than each of the twelve nocturnal hours. (So Mai.)
Gk. γάρ ; the odd defective logical connection here suggests that a sentence or clause has been lost before this one.
A reference to the long winter nights, according to Mai.
That is, it moves away from the storms typical of winter.
Gk. κοσμογονία .
Gk. κόσμος .
Gk. οἰκουμένη .
Gk. περιέχειν ; alternatively, "seems to contain a reference to..."
Gk. τροπή , which means a "turn" and so by extension the solstice or equinox as one of the turning points of the year—I have thus had to translate it twice to capture the proper effect, first as "equinox," second as "turn."
Mai interprets this as meaning "the day of our knowledge of God": qua die Dei notitiam hausimus .
Gk. εἰς ἄληστον αἰῶνα .
Deut. 16.9, somewhat freely cited; the last part is not in that verse, however—cf. Lev. 23.16-17 for the content, although there too the phraseology is somewhat different.
Gk. ἐφ' αἷς .
Gk. κατὰ Θεόν .
Gk. πάσχειν - the verb is related to the noun "passion" ( πάθος ) used just before.
I.e., a single (50) day in addition to the 49.
