[1] A garbled version of Greg.Naz. PG 36.269:
ἐπείσθη γάρ, ὡς θεὸς εἶναι βασκαίνεται, τοῦ τῆς γνώσεως ξύλου τέως εἰργόμενος ; "for he was persuaded, that he is begrudged to be a god, despite being somewhat hindered by the knowledge of the true cross".
[2] Perhaps
Diodorus or
Cassius Dio (so Adler). In any event Bernhardy suggested emending
ζῆλος to the proper name
Ζιήλας (
zeta 100).
