When Papias Speaks of the 'Dominical Logia' He Probably Means Old Testament Scriptures ... Because of Philo

[Secret Alias]

[05] "The Divine Word" -- o qeioV logoV [in process]
Leg. Allegor. 3.8 [§ 3, i. 89] :
(8) In reference to which the Divine Word says "Let them send forth from the holy soul every leper, and every one afflicted with foul disease, and every one who is impure in his soul, both male and female, and all mutilated persons, and all these who are emasculated, and all whoremongers," (xYonge; Num 5.2)

De Cherubim 3 [1]:
[Hagar,] having been met by an angel, as the holy scriptures read [var: which is the divine word (cf Loeb)]: but the second time, she is utterly cast out, and is never to be brought back again.

[06] "The Prophetic Word," e.g.
aposemnunein eoiken o propfhtikos logos
(De Plantat. Noe, § 28, i. 347).

[07] "The Oracle," = logion
to de logion esti toionde
(De Agricult. § 29, i. 319).

[08] "The Utterance of the Oracle," e.g.
marturhsei de to crhsqen logion
Leg. Allegor. 3.129 [45]:
(129)and the most holy Oracle bears witness to what I am here saying; for it says, "Moses having taken the breast took it that it might be an offering before the Lord, from the ram of consecration, and this was Moses's part." (xYonge; Lev 8.29)

(Quod det. pot. inside § 14, i. 200).

[09] "The Inspired Oracle," = logion
marturei de kai to qespisqen logion

[Ken Olson]

In his recent edition of Papias' work, Stephen Carlson argues that what Papias understands by the term λόγια are scriptural passages from the Old Testament, though he arrives at that conclusion by a different route.

Thank you. Looks very interesting

though he arrives at that conclusion by a different route.

And even I am arrived to the same conclusion by a further different route.
