118“It is in any case simpler to take τὴν ἔϰθϱαν with ϰαταϱγήσασ, although that verb is chosen by an afterthought as specially applicable to τóν νòμον ϰτλ. The sense remains the same whichever construction is adopted” (J. A. Robinson, Ephesians, p. 161).
119Gk. τòν νóμον τѽν ἐντολѽν ἐν δóγμασιν ϰαταϱγήσασ. That ἐν δóγμασιν is a later gloss (cf. p. 294, n. 102) is argued by C. J. Roetzel, “Jewish Christian-Gentile Relations: A Discussion of Ephesians 2:15a,” ZNW 74 (1983), 81–89.
120Gk. νóμον οὖν ϰαταϱγοῦμεν . . .; (the same verb as here).
