Footnotes

  1. 96 Or “prison.”
  2. 97 L&N 6.21 has “stocks” for εἰς τὸ ξύλον (eis to xulon) here, as does ξύλον 2.b. However, it is also possible (as mentioned in L&N 18.12) that this does not mean “stocks” but a block of wood (a log or wooden column) in the prison to which prisoners’ feet were chained or tied. Such a possibility is suggested by v. 26, where the “bonds” (“chains”?) of the prisoners loosened.
