“tamquam aurum in fornace probauit illos et quasi holocaustam hostiam accepit illos.

[Contains the feminine accusative plural of holocaustos]”

(please add an English translation of this quotation) Alexander Roberts and James Donaldson (editors), The Writings of the Fathers Down to a.d. 325. Ante-Nicene Fathers. Volume 5. Hippolytus, Cyprian, Caius, Novatian, Appendix., 1995 (reprint; originally published 1886), p. 537 and 540: As gold in the furnace He proved them, and as a burnt-offering He received them. And yet in the soul and spirit of lowliness let us be accepted as the burnt-offerings of rams and bulls, and as it were many thousands of lambs which are fattest.
