^{page 511 note 1} The following note by Dr. McLean, of Christ's College, Cambridge, is of interest:—“The name ‘Christ’ does not appear to have been used by the early Syriac-speaking Christians. The N. T. has always : you will find that Brockelmann's Lexicon does not mention at all, and that Payne Smith's only authorities for it are a Bodleian MS. (Or. lix, of which the age may be ascertained from his catalogue) and two Syriac lexicographers, who give it as = On the other hand, ‘Christian’ () appears in 1 Pet. iv, 16, and in early Syriac books, and some of its derivatives (such as ) are fairly common. But my impression is that the more usual words for ‘Christian’ are and . So that the evidence is not quite clear: only must have been very rarely used, if at all.”Dr. Mills says: “The nearest to your matter is the Kalašiyākāh of Neryosangh at Y. 9. 75 (Sp.). Ner. seems to have seen a resemblance between Kaesāni and Christos, so he coins Kalašiyākāh to imitate ecclesia. The term Christos does not occur, so far as I remember, in the texts with which I have to do.”

^{page 514 note 5} “The followers of Basilides,” says Clement, “celebrate the day of the Baptism as a feast, . They say it happened in the ISth year of Tiberius Caesar, on the 15th day of the month Tybi, but some of them hold it on the 11th of the same month” (Strom, , i, c. 21, p. 147 S.)Google Scholar. These Gnostics held that the Christ descended on the man Jesus at the Baptism; and this naturally suggested the month of Tybi, ‘the first month of growth’ in the Egyptian calendar, as an appropriate season for the festival. They avoided any connection -with the great heathen festivals of the Egyptians, which were celebrated in the month preceding.
