[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.

[153:7] Miletum, or Miletus, in Crete, is mentioned by Homer. "Iliad,"

[154:2] Heb. xiii. 23, 24. In this epistle he apparently refers to his
late imprisonment. Heb. x. 34, but the reading of the _textus receptus_
is here rejected by many of our highest critical authorities, such as
Griesbach, Lachmann, Tischendorf, and Scholz. Respecting the second
imprisonment, see also Eusebius, ii. c. 22.

had made before the Gentile tribunal of Nero.

[156:6] According to Gregory Nazianzen, Judea was the sphere of Peter.
