Middleton on 2 Peter 1:1 and Ephesians 5:5

...Ephesians 5:5, and 2 Peter 1:1 (or comments involving the same construction) are all supported in the writings of the Greek fathers. See Middleton's comments on the matter.

2 Peter 1:1

In his examination of the Fathers, Mr. Wordsworth has not been able to collect any important evidence in behalf of the proposed explanation: hut the reason has been assigned by him: the Second Epistle of Peter is rarely quoted by the Fathers: their evidence, therefore, in a question like the present, is not easily obtained. The only passage adduced by Mr. W. is from the Scholia, under the name of OEcumenius; and the passage proves little or nothing, because it is rather in the way of reference or allusion than of actual quotation.

========================

However, Hillary of Arles - Andreas - Oecumenius - do reference the verse.
