§ 1. The Creed. The
ancient Creed which was used by the Church of Jerusalem in the middle
of the fourth Century, and which Cyril expounded in his Catechetical
Lectures, was recited by him to the Catechumens at the end of the fifth
Lecture, to be committed to memory, but not to be written out on paper
(§ 12). Accordingly it is not found in any of the MSS., but
instead of it the Nicene Creed with the Anathema is there inserted in
Codd. Roe, Casaub. This could only have been added after
Cyril’s time, when the motives for secrecy had ceased.
