Reading the excerpts. “On the word” marks a passage where Fr. Paul treats the root or one of its words directly; “on the verse”, “on the passage” and “on the chapter” mark what his comment covers. Excerpts are lightly copyedited: punctuation and scanning errors are corrected, and Hebrew, Greek and Arabic words are spelled by the Andalus system; his words are unchanged. Book citations give the page; lecture citations give the volume and part of the Orthodox Audio Bible Commentary and the time in the recording. An ellipsis (…) marks words left out, often a Greek word the scan of the book did not keep.
