[149:8] Eph. iv. 1.

[150:1] [Greek:  en olo to praitorio]—­“We never find the word employed for the Imperial house at Rome; and we believe the truer view to be—­that it denotes here, not the palace itself, but the quarters of that part of the Imperial guards which was in immediate attendance on the Emperor."-Conybeare and Howson, ii. 428.

[153:1] [Greek:  epi to terma tes duseos]—­Epist. to the Corinthians v.  Clement in the same place mentions that Paul was seven times in bonds.  See also Greswell, “Dissertations,” vol. iv. p. 225-228.

[153:2] See Cave’s “Fathers,” i. 147.  Oxford, 1840.

[153:3] [Greek:  ton phelonen].  Some think that he wished for the cloak to protect him against the cold of winter.  See 2 Tim. iv. 21.

[153:4] In the “Life of St Columba” by Adamnan (Dublin, 1857), the learned editor, Dr Reeves, has given an interesting account of an ancient leather book-case in his own possession.  See “Life of St Columba,” p. 115.  If Paul referred to a case, it was probably to one of a larger description.

[153:5] 2 Tim. iv. 13.  It is probable that, in the anticipation of his death, he wished to give the documents as a legacy to some of his friends.  Among them may have been Scripture autographs.

[153:6] 2 Tim. iv. 20. [Greek:  apelipon].  The translation “they left,” instead of “I left,” is given up even by Dr Davidson, though he rejects the idea of a second imprisonment.  See his “Introduction to the New Testament,” iii. 53.
