[153:5] One Rabbi Papias is mentioned in the Mishna Shekalim iv. 7; Edaioth vii. 6. I owe these references to Zunz Namen der Juden p. 16.

[153:7] See above, p. 89 sq.
[154:1] [Greek: ho panu, ho polus]. The first passage will be found in the original Greek in Routh Rel. Sacr. I. p. 15 (comp. Migne Patr. Græc. lxxxix. p. 860, where only the Latin 'clarissimus' is given); the second in Migne ib. p. 961 (comp. Routh l.c. p. 16, where again only the Latin 'celebris' is given).
[155:1] Whether the first word should be singular or plural, 'Exposition' ([Greek: exêgêsis]) or 'Expositions' ([Greek: exêgêseis]), I need not stop to inquire. The important points are (1) that Papias uses [Greek: logiôn], not [Greek: logôn], 'oracles,' not 'words' or 'sayings'; (2) that he has [Greek: kuriakôn logiôn], not [Greek: logiôn tou Kuriou]—'Dominical Oracles,' not 'Oracles of the Lord.' I shall have occasion hereafter to call attention to both these facts, which are significant, as they give a much wider range to his subject-matter than if he had used the alternative expressions.

[156:1] So again, I. p. 484 sq, 'Whatever books Papias knew, however, it is certain, from his own express declaration, that he ascribed little importance to them, and preferred tradition as a more reliable source of information regarding Evangelical history,' etc. See also II. p. 820 sq.
