In _de Corona militis_, 4, after instancing Rebecca,
he goes on to say of Susanna: "si et Susanna in iudicio revelata
argumentum velandi pr?¦stat, possum dicere: et his velamen arbitrii
fuit," etc. Also _de Pudic._ 17, etc.
ORIGEN (?? 254) frequently refers to Susanna in his commentaries, many
references to which are collected by Sch??rer, _H.J.P._, II. III. 186. In
the middle of ?§ 1 of his _Hom._ I. _in Levitic._ he quotes Susanna's
words in v. 22 as if appropriate to the mouth of the book itself,
surrounded, by those who doubted its canonicity (words quoted under
'Canonicity,' p. 158). In Eusebius' Pr?¦p. Ev. VI. 11, Origen is given as
quoting v. 42 as a proof of God's foreknowledge, ??°????? ?„??¶?? ?????±?†??¶?? ?„????¦?„??
???±???±???„??†???±??. In his _Commentary_ on St. John (bk. XX. ?§ 5) he quotes v.
56 with ????‚ ??? ?”?±?????®?» ?†?·????.
CYPRIAN (?? 258), in _Ep._ XLIII. 4, illustrates his remarks by a
reference to "Susannam pudicam."
Bleek (_O.T._ II. 316) says that Bel and the Dragon and Susanna were
used by both Iren?¦us and Cyprian in a similar way to the Scriptures of
the Hebrew canon.
