The first of
these is found only in Latin. This, according to Lightfoot (see
_Colossians[3]_, 272-298) and Zahn, is a translation from the Greek.
Such an epistle is mentioned in the Muratorian canon. See Zahn, _op.
cit_. ii. 566-585. The Epistle to the Alexandrians is mentioned only in
the Muratorian canon (see Zahn ii. 586-592).

For the _Third Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians_, and _Epistle from
the Corinthians to Paul_, see under "Acts of Paul" above.

FOOTNOTES:

[1] Judaism was long accustomed to lay claim to an esoteric
tradition. Thus though it insisted on the exclusive canonicity of the
24 books, it claimed the possession of an oral law handed down from
Moses, and just as the apocryphal books overshadowed in certain
instances the canonical scriptures, so often the oral law displaced
the written in the regard of Judaism.

[3] The New Testament shows undoubtedly an acquaintance with several
of the apocryphal books. Thus James i. 19 shows dependence on Sirach
v. 11, Hebrews i. 3 on Wisdom vii. 26, Romans ix. 21 on Wisdom xv. 7,
2 Cor. v. 1, 4 on Wisdom ix. 15, &c.

[4] Thus some of the additions to Daniel and the Prayer of Manasses
are most probably derived from a Semitic original written in
Palestine, yet in compliance with the prevailing opinion they are
classed under Hellenistic Jewish literature. Again, the Slavonic
Enoch goes back undoubtedly in parts to a Semitic original, though
most of it was written by a Greek Jew in Egypt.

[5] These editors have discovered (1907) a gospel fragment of the 2nd
century which represents a dialogue between our Lord and a chief
priest--a Pharisee.

APODICTIC (Gr. [Greek: apodeiktikos], capable of demonstration), a
logical term, applied to judgments which are necessarily true, as of
mathematical conclusions. The term in Aristotelian logic is opposed to
dialectic, as scientific proof to probable reasoning. Kant contrasts
apodictical with problematic and assertorical judgments.
