13. πολλὰ εἶχον. Imperfect; at the time of his writing there were many things which he had to communicate to Gaius. οὐ θέλω. ‘I do not care to.’ See on John 6:67; John 7:17; John 8:44.

διὰ μέλανος καὶ καλάμου. In 2 John 1:12 it is διὰ χάρτου καὶ μέλανος. Κάλαμος occurs nowhere else in the sense of ‘reed for writing with, pen,’ but only in the general sense of ‘reed,’ calamus. Quills were not used as pens until the fifth century. The earliest certain evidence as to their use is in the writings of Isidore, early in the seventh century. In LXX. of Psalms 44:1 κάλαμος is used of ‘the pen of a ready writer.’
