Note to Anon Pét 42VII

[5-6] neitar sitt nafn ‘he denies his name’: Cf. Matt. XXVI.69-74; Mark XIV.66-71; Luke XXII.55-60; John XVIII.17-18, 25-7; Pétr 14, esp. 14/19-22: Eptir orðum Augustini neitar eigi sa einn guði, er eigi kallaz kristinn, helldr ok hinn er eigi kallaz lærisveinn, þviat fyrrmeirr hetu þvi nafni allir rettruadir menn, aðr en hitt nafn kom upp i Antiochia ‘According to the words of Augustine, not only he who is not called Christian, but also the one who is not called disciple denies God, because formerly all men of orthodox faith were called by that name, before the other name originated in Antioch’; cf. Augustine, In Iohannis evangelium tractatus (in Willems 1954, 637/20-34).
