In a fourth- or fifth-century narrative known as the Acts of Thomas and his Wonderworking Skin, Jesus sells the apostle Thomas as a slave to the governor of India. When the governor’s wife converts to Christianity, dumps all her earthly riches outside her front door, and turns celibate, the governor has the apostle tortured and his skin flayed off, but Thomas survives, and uses his peeled-off skin to raise the dead. This paper uses Kathryn Tanner’s concept of culture to compare the ideals advocated by this story – servitude to Christ, voluntary poverty, sexual abstinence, readiness to suffer, and zeal for evangelization – to ideals expressed in first-century Christian literature. The subculture expressed by the narrative is found to consist entirely of ideals also expressed in the New Testament, which are updated, recontextualized, and radicalized in order to reach an audience of fourth- or fifth-century Christians.

Εἰκών εἰμι τῆς ἀρρήτου δόξης σου: the opening of one of the Eulogētaria hymns in the Byzantine funeral service – a highly interesting composition with roots in Late Ancient Jerusalem – invites a connection with Genesis 1:26. However, even though the allusion to the story of creation, Eden, and the Fall is undeniable, this hymn does not speak of the human being as κατ᾿εἰκόνα, but straightforwardly as the εἰκών of God’s glory. A first step in interpreting this line should therefore be the consideration of another set of biblical references, dealing not with “image” but with “glory.” We can then, as a second step, make sense of the resulting interpretation within the larger theological context of Byzantine Christomorphic anthropology, with its rich biblical and extra-biblical sources.
Ε ι κών Ε ι μι το ς ο ου δόξης σου:在拜占庭葬礼仪式中，一首Eulogētaria赞美诗的开头部分——这是一首非常有趣的作品，起源于古耶路撒冷晚期——让人联想到创世记1:26。然而，尽管这首赞美诗提到了创造、伊甸园和堕落的故事是不可否认的，但是这首赞美诗并没有把人类说成是κατ ι ε ι να，而是直接地说成是神的荣耀的ε ε κών。因此，解释这句话的第一步应该是考虑另一组圣经参考，不是处理“形象”，而是处理“荣耀”。然后，作为第二步，我们可以在拜占庭基督化人类学的更大神学背景下，利用其丰富的圣经和圣经以外的来源，来理解由此产生的解释。

Ennodius, Ep. 6,9 is an enquiry addressed to a high politician Faustus Niger, in order to help an anonymous bishop in trouble. We do not have any other further information about it. This article developed a hypothesis that the anonymous bishop may be the bishop of Aosta, Northern Italy, accused of proditio patriae, according to Cassiodorus, Var. 1,9. However, on the contrary of other bishops, accused of such a serious crime, who were usually exiled, the above mentioned bishop of Aosta is considered as innocent by Theodoric the Great. This could be because of the help of Faustus Niger, mentioned in the Ep. 6,9. In this case, we see how a clerk intervenes in a political affair and the collaboration of an ecclesiastical member and a government official of high rank.

This brief note explains the curious word “substomachans” in conf. 3.21 from the Manichaean background of both Monnica’s bishop and Augustine. Based on this explanation, the note proposes a new translation of the phrase in which “substomachans” occurs. The interpretation offered seems to be backed by Julian of Eclanum’s use of “substomachans”. In essence, “substomachari” refers to the “ructare” during the Manichaeans’ daily ritual meal: “to belch (out)”.
这个简短的注释解释了文件3.21中奇怪的单词“sub胃”，它来自莫妮卡的主教和奥古斯丁的摩尼教背景。基于这一解释，该注释提出了“sub胃”出现的短语的新翻译。这种解释似乎得到了埃克兰姆的朱利安(Julian of Eclanum)使用“sub胃”一词的支持。从本质上讲，“胃下痛”指的是摩尼教徒在日常仪式用餐时的“构造”:“打嗝”。
