PREFACE
With regard to historical, theological, philological, and tex-
tual matters relating to Cyril of Alexandria’s Glaphyra in Pen-
tateuchum, the reader is referred to the full introduction by
Gregory K. Hillis and the preface by Nicholas P. Lunn at the
beginning of volume 1.
In the preparation of this second volume, the partial transla-
tion of the Glaphyra on Exodus by Evie Zachariades-Holmberg
(see select bibliography) was consulted. A comparison with the
present translation, however, will reveal that there is little in the
way of dependence.
