Ebrard, in referencing this quote, comments, "We see that he had before him the passage in his New Testament in its corrupt form (aqua, sanguis et caro, et tres in nobis sunt); but also, that the gloss was already in the text, and not merely in a single copy, but that it was so widely diffused and acknowledged in the West as to be appealed to by him bona fide in his contest with his Arian opponents."
Ebrard, dalam merujuk kutipan ini berkomentar, "Kita melihat bahwa di hadapannya terdapat sebuah bacaan Perjanjian Baru dalam bentuk terkorupsi ("aqua, sanguis et caro, et tres in nobis sunt") ; tetapi juga, bahwa gloss itu sudah ada di dalam teks, dan bukan hanya dalam satu salinan saja, tetapi sudah sangat tersebar luas dan diakui di Barat sehingga dipakai olehnya bona fide dalam perdebatannya dengan lawan dari golongan Arian."
