The
sentence in all the mss. (except the
Codex Coislin. II., which has ὁ τραπεὶς) begins
οὐ
τραπείς. The Ben.
Ed. propose simply to substitute εἰ for οὐ, and render “Si enim conversus
est, proprium constituit corpus, quod videlicet densata in ipsa
deitate, substitit.” I have endeavoured to force a
possible meaning on the Greek as it stands, though παχυνθείσης
more naturally refers to the unorthodox change than to
the orthodox conjunction. The original is
οὐ γὰρ
τραπεὶς
οἰκεῖον
ὑπεστήσατο
σῶμα, ὅπερ,
παχυνθείσης
αὐτῷ τῆς
θεϊκῆς
φύσεως,
ὑπέστη.
