page 338 note 3 One wonders whether 'mingled blood' was partly so called because of the percentage of plasma remaining in it.

page 338 note 5 I cannot correlate this interpretation to any other references to water and blood in the Johannine corpus, I John v. 6 (twice), v. 8. I should observe, however, that these texts refer to water first and then to blood and also that the peculiar combination in I John v. 7, 8 of a masculine participle followed by the masculine ol τρεζ agreeing with three neuter nouns makes it difficult to interpret the text in any other way but as a personification or allegory. It would seem that John xix. 34 is entirely independent of I John v. 7, 8.
