NET © Notes

tn Grk “to eat his fill,” but this phrase has been simplified as “to eat” for stylistic reasons.

tn The term κύνες (kunes) refers to “wild” dogs (either “street” dogs or watchdogs), not house pets (L&N 4.34).

sn When the dogs came and licked his sores it meant that he was unclean. See the negative image of Rev 22:15 that draws on this picture.
