MR. ABBOTT.

The First Two Books of the Maccabees.

r. Quote passages from the N. Τ. which are illustrated by the following:

(α) ὥστε . . . ἀλλάξαι πάντα τὰ δικαιώματα.

(6) ἵλεως ἡμῖν καταλιπεῖν νόμον και δικαιώματα.

(c) εὐοδώθη σωτηρία ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ.

(α) ἡμεῖς ἐκλελύμεθα ἀσιτοῦντες σήμερον.

(ε) συνίδοντες τὴν Ιούδα παρεμβόλήν.

(f) εἰς ̓́Αζωτον γῆν ἀλλοφύλων.

(9) ἀπέδωκεν αὐτῷ τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν ἣν ᾐχμαλώτευσε το πρότερον ἐκ γῆς Ἰούδα.

(h) ἕνεκεν τῆς ἐπ ̓ αὐτοὺς ἐπικλήσεως τοῦ σεμνοῦ ὀνόματος αὐτοῦ. (i) εὐλογοῦντες καὶ ἐξομολογούμενοι τῷ κυρίῳ.

(*) τοῖς μετ ̓ εὐσεβείας κοιμωμένοις κάλλιστον ἀποκείμενον χαριστήριον.

2. What is the signification of the following ?προνομεύειν, ἀποστολή, ἐπιγαμβρεύειν, παστοφόρια, λάκκος, ἁλυσιδωτός, παράθεσις, παρεμβάλλειν ἐπί, ἀνδρολογία, ἀπονοεῖσθαι, διασταλσις, εὐρώστως, ῥωμαλεος, κατάκοπος. 3. In what peculiar significations are ἀρχή and παρακαλεῖν used in these books? (the latter also in N. T.)

4. In what connexion is the βδέλυγμα ἐρημώσεως mentioned ? What appears to be meant by it? What is the Latin rendering? How did Josephus understand the expression?

5. Καὶ ἐξεπέτασαν τὸ βιβλίον τοῦ νόμου περὶ ὧν ἐξηρεύνων τὰ ἔθνη τοῦ ἐπιγράφειν ἐπ' αὐτῶν τὰ ὁμοιώματα τῶν εἰδώλων αὐτῶν.

What is the Latin version, and how was it understood by the Roman Catholic commentators generally (and by Drusius)?

6. (α) Καὶ ἔλαβον ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον πολὺ σφόδρα καὶ παῖδας. What reading (suggested by the Syriac) is now adopted instead of παῖδας ?

(5) ἀνήνεγκε θυμὸν κατὰ τὸ κρίμα.

What is the curious reading of the Alex. ?

(α) συνήχθησαν συναγωγὴ Ἰουδαίων ἰσχυροὶ δυνάμει ἀπὸ Ἰσραήλ. Ἰουδαίων is obviously wrong; what is the correct reading ?

(ε) ἐξέλιπε τὸ ἀργύριον ἀπὸ τῶν θησαυρῶν καὶ οἱ φορόλογοι χάριν τῆς διχοστασίας.

What is the true reading for φορολογοι (restored by Drusius) ?

The use of χάριν here is parallel to that in a passage in Galatians ; what is the passage?

7. What is remarkable about the order in which Daniel, Ananias, Azariah, and Misael are mentioned in I Macc. 2?

What bearing has this on the date of the book of Daniel?

8. Another composition plausibly assigned to the time of the Maccabees is cited as Scripture in 1 Macc. What is it?

9. The author of 1 Macc. cites from Genesis certain words relating to Abraham. In what peculiarity does his citation agree with that of St.

James ?

II. What is the discrepancy between 1 Macc. and 2 Macc. as to the battle between Judas and Lysias?

12. Translate : ὑπὲρ τῶν παρατάξεων Ἰούδα ἐξηγεῖτο πᾶν ἔθνος.

καὶ ἐκύκλωσαν αὐτοῦ τὴν παρεμβολὴν καὶ ἐξετίναξαν τὰς σχίζας εἰς τὸν λαόν.

Ὁ δὲ βασιλεὺς εἰληφὼς γεῦμα τῆς τῶν Ἰουδαίων εὐτολμίας, κατεπείρασε διὰ μεθόδων τοὺς τόπους. καὶ ἐπὶ Βαιθσούροις φρούριον ὀχυρὸν τῶν Ιουδαίων προσῆγεν, ἐτροποῦτο, προσέκρουεν, ἠλαττονοῦτο. τοις δὲ ἔνδον Ἰούδας τὰ δέοντα εἰσέπεμψε. προσήγγειλε δὲ τὰ μυστήρια τοῖς πολεμίοις Ῥόδοκος ἐκ τῆς Ἰουδαϊκῆς τάξεως· ἀνεζητήθη δὲ καὶ κατελήφθη καὶ κατεκλείσθη. ἐδευτερολόγησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τοῖς ἐν Βαιθσούροις, δεξιὰν ἔδωκεν, ἔλαβεν, ἀπῄει, προσέβαλε τοῖς περὶ τὸν Ἰούδαν, ἥττων ἐγένετο, μετέλαβεν ἀπονενοῆσθαι τὸν Φίλιππον ἐν ̓Αντιοχείᾳ τὸν ἀπολελειμμένον ἐπὶ τῶν πραγμάτων, συνεχύθη· τοὺς Ἰουδαίους παρεκάλεσεν, ὑπετάγη καὶ ὤμοσεν ἐπὶ πᾶσι τοῖς δικαίοις, συνελύθη, καὶ θυσίαν προσήγαγεν, ἐτίμησε τὸν νεών, καὶ τὸν τόπον ἐφιλανθρώπησε, καὶ τὸν Μακκαβαῖον ἀπεδέξατο· κατέλιπε στρατηγὸν ἀπὸ Πτολεμαΐδος ἕως τῶν Γεῤῥηνῶν Ἡγεμονίδην, ἦλθεν εἰς Πτολεμαΐδα. ἐδυσφόρουν περὶ τῶν συνθηκῶν οἱ Πτολεμαεῖς, ἐδείναζον γὰρ ὑπὲρ ὧν ἠθέλησαν ἀθετεῖν τὰς διαστάλσεις. προσῆλθεν ἐπὶ τὸ βῆμα Λυσίας, ἀπελογήσατο ἐνδεχομένως, συνέπεισε, κατεπραϋνεν, εὐμενεῖς ἐποίησεν, ἀνέζευξεν εἰς ̓Αντιόχειαν. οὕτω τὰ τοῦ βασιλέως τῆς ἐφόδου καὶ τῆς ἀναζυγῆς ἐχώρησε.

Epistle to the Ephesians.

1. Discuss briefly the question of the genuineness of this Epistle.

2. Discuss the question to whom it was written.

Notice particularly in relation to this the absence of salutations; the words εἴγε ἠκούσατε τὴν οἰκονομίαν, κ.τ.λ., and the omission of ἐν Ἐφέσῳ in i. I. What are the authorities for and against these words, and how is the omission or the insertion accounted for?

3. What are the special signifcations in this Epistle of χαριτόω, αἰών, ἐξουσία, πάροικος ? Where else does χαριτόω occur ?

4. Alford quotes from Tholuck the following account of the significations of μυστήριον :

(1) Such matters of fact as are inaccessible to reason and can only be known through revelation.

(2) Such matters as are patent facts, but the process of which cannot be entirely taken in by the reason.

(3) That which is no mystery in itself but by its figurative import.

Amongst the examples of the first he quotes Rom. xvi. 25; Eph. i. 9 : of the second, I Cor. xiii. 2; Eph. v. 32: of the third, Matth. xiii. II; 2 Thess. ii. 7.

Quote these passages, and show that they do not support the distinction of meanings above given.

What things in particular does St. Paul call μvσrápia in this Epistle and in Thess. ?

5. Discuss the construction and rendering of the following:

α. ὁ θεὸς καὶ πατὴρ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ.

δ. ὁ θεὸς τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν . . . δῴη ὑμῖν πνεῦμα σοφίας καὶ ἀποκαλύψεως ἐν ἐπιγνώσει αὐτοῦ πεφωτισμένους τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς τῆς καρδιάς ὑμῶν εἰς τὸ εἰδέναι, κ.τ.λ.

c. ὁ ποιήσας τὰ ἀωφμτερα ἓν καὶ τὸ μεσότοιχον τοῦ φραγμοῦ λύσας τὴν ἔχθραν ἐν τῇ σαρκὶ αὐτοῦ τὸν νόμον τῶν ἐντολῶν ἐν δόγμασιν καταργήσας Quote the passage in the Epistle to the Colossians parallel to (c).

6. κτισθέντες ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ ἐπὶ ἔργοις ἀγαθοῖς οἷς προητοίμασεν δ θεὸς ἵνα ἐν αὐτοῖς περιπατήσωμεν.

What different views are taken of the connexion of ἐν αὐτοῖς ?

Give other examples of this use of ἐπί.

Discuss Baur's suggestion that we have here a post-apostolic attempt to reconcile St. Paul with St. James.

7. Write notes on

(α) ἐν τῇ κυβείᾳ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐν πανουργίᾳ πρὸς τὴν μεθοδείαν τῆς πλάνης.

(3) ἐξ οὗ πᾶν τὸ σῶμα συναρμολογούμενον καὶ συμβιβαζόμενον διὰ πάσης ἀφῆς τῆς ἐπιχορηγίας κατ' ἐνέργειαν ἐν μέτρῳ ἑνος ἑκάστου μέρους. (Quote the parallel from Colossians.)

(α) εἴ γε αὐτὸν ἠκούσατε καὶ ἐν αὐτῷ ἐδιδάχθητε καθώς ἐστιν ἀληθεία ἐν τῷ Ἰησοῦ, ἀποθέσθαι ὑμᾶς . τὸν παλαιὸν ἄνθρωπον τὸν φθειρόμενον κατὰ τὰς ἐπιθυμίας τῆς ἀπατης. Correct the vulgar misconception of the spaced words.

(α) ᾐχμαλώτευσεν αἰχμαλωσίαν. Where does this phrase occur besides ? (ε) κατέβη εἰς τὰ κατώτερα τῆς γῆς.

8. What are the various readings in the following, and in what authorities, respectively, are they found ?—

(α) φωτίσαι πάντας τίς ἡ οἰκονομία τοῦ μυστηρίου.

(δ) ἐπιφαύσει σοι ὁ Χριστός.

(ε) εἴ τις ἀγαθὸς πρὸς οἰκοδομὴν τῆς χρείας.

(α) ἀκούσας τὴν καθ ̓ ὑμᾶς πίστιν ἐν τῷ κυρίῳ Ἰησοῦ καὶ τὴν ἀγάπην τὴν εἰς πάντας τοὺς ἁγίους.

9. Give the original of:

(a) "Not with eye service, as men pleasers."

(b)Against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

(c) "That he might sanctify and cleanse it by the washing of water." (d) "As God, for Christ's sake, hath forgiven you. Be ye therefore

followers of God."

MAC CULLAGH PRIZE EXAMINATION.

MR. BURNSIDE.

1. If two equal spheres be drawn, having double contact with an ellipsoid, their centres being on one of the axes, and their common radius the mean proportional between the principal radii of curvature at the extremities of that axis; prove that the quadrics of revolution round this axis, and touching the spheres, determine by their intersection with the ellipsoid the two systems of lines of curvature.

2. Let denote the angle between the geodesic tangents drawn from a point P, on an ellipsoid whose semiaxis major is p, to the line of curvature (p, u): T, T the tangents drawn from P to the spheres defined in question (1), and prove the following formula:

7. Prove that confocal cyclides of the fourth order intersect each other at right angles.

8. Prove that the polar plane with respect to the Hessian of any point on a cubic surface meets the tangent at that point in the line which joins the three points of inflection of the section of the cubic surface by the tangent plane.

PROFESSOR R. S. BALL.

1. If x1 x2 x3 x4 and y1 y2 y3 y4 be two corresponding points where

[blocks in formation]

then we have the general homographic correspondence with a tetrahedron common to both systems. If we specialise the correspondence by the further conditions that

[blocks in formation]

then we have a system of quadric surfaces common to the two systems. Investigate this system, and give the complete geometrical theory of the relations of this system to the tetrahedron.

2. Write an essay upon the properties of the surface of the fourth degree

▲ (x22 x32 — X12x42) + BX1 X3 (X22 + X42) + CX2X4 (X12+x32) = 0,

which occurs in certain branches of higher Dynamics.

3. If 01, 02, 03, 04 be the four semivertical angles of four right cones with a common apex which intersect orthogonally, then

cosec2 1+ cosec2 02 + cosec2 03 + cosec2 04 = 3.
