57. These words are added, as also by Nau, from the Greek text.
58. I.e. the doctrine of the two generations, (1) that of God the Word 'begotten of the Father before all worlds'; (2) that of Christ, born in time of the Virgin Mary.
59. Literally: 'under beginning and under completion'.
60. Nestorius here uses language drawn from a passage of Gregory of Nazienzum which was read at the Council, and which later he quotes frequently as supporting his arguments. See pp. 195 and 200 for the text.
61. The copyist has added here in the margin the following note: 'Two lines have been left blank in the exemplar.' Nau suggests that they were so left for the title of the following section to be inserted in red ink, as elsewhere in the manuscript; cp. pp. 201, n. 3, 203, n. 2.
62. Viz. Ambrose. The following are the passages from Ambrose read at the Council to which Nestorius refers. See Labbe (Mansi), iv. 1189 d, e.
63. Nau suggests that the space of four lines at the head of this quotation in the Syriac was left for the title to be inserted in red ink.
64. Viz. Gregory and Athanasius.
65. The copyist has here added the following note in the margin: 'These lines in the original are blank,' from which Nau supposes that the title of the following section has fallen out; cp. pp. 196, n. 2, and 201, 11. 4.
66. Viz. the name which he took for the purpose of exalting it above all other names.
67. This is one of the very few passages in which at first sight Nestorius seems to suggest something very like 'Nestorianism' as commonly understood; cp. p. 224, n. 3. But that this was not his intention is clear from pp. 225, 312-15. It is interesting that here, immediately after the suspicious passage, he claims for his doctrine that which 'Nestorianism' has usually been held to lack----the provision for a universal atonement.
68. Viz. Cyril.
69. The phrase 'so that he is not' must clearly be taken as expressing a corollary of the view which Nestorius is rejecting.
70. Here Nestorius refuses totidem verbis to deny the human hypostasis of Christ; but see p. 156, n. 2. This passage surely makes it all the clearer that Nestorius used the word hypostasis in its older sense as practically equivalent to what Cyril called ousia. The two words are evidently synonymous in the sentence below beginning: 'But in name alone he has a body . . .' See too p. 218, n. 3.
71. Viz. the two natures.
72. 1 Viz. Cyril.
73. I . e. the name 'Christ' as used by Nestorius.
74. These words are added by Nau to complete the antithesis.
75. Viz. the soul.
76. There is no new paragraph marked here in the Syriac text.
77. Viz. the Word.
78. Viz. Cyril.
79. Viz. the Incarnation.
80. Viz. the divinity.
81. Viz. Gregory.
