33. A passage such as this seems to show clearly that Nestorius did not teach merely a 'moral union', i.e. a union resulting from and consisting in the fact that the two natures in Christ both willed alike. Like the orthodox he makes that unity of will the consequence of the union, not its ground. Cp. pp. 59, 62, 70.
34. I . e. each other.
35. Loofs suggests that the words 'as indeed are those who are united in nature' have been inadvertently transposed, and are the end of the previous sentence ( Nestorius and his Place, &c, p. 91). Apart from such emendation Nestorius is here either inconsistent or more than usually obscure.
36. Viz. St. Paul; cp. Phil. ii. 7,8.
37. Viz. Cyril.
38. From Nestorius' Second Letter to Cyril. See Labbe (Mansi) iv. 893 B.
At the end of this quotation the Syriac copyist adds in a foot-note, 'Here there is a blank space, six lines'.

45. Viz, Arius.

48. Viz. Adam.
49. Viz. Christ.
50. See p. 95, n. 1. Nau suggests the addition of the words Refutation des Accusations as the title of Book ii, part i. [Note to the online text: this extra heading indicates that the editors have rearranged the text -- see note for details]
51. Viz. Cyril.
52. Viz. Cyril.

56. The Syriac copyist has here added a note to the following effect: 'From here twelve pages have been torn out and lost from the original by the troops of Bedr Khan Bey, when they captured the district of Das in the year 2154 of the Greeks ( = a. d. 1843).' See Introd. p. xi.
