The Acts of the Apostles

114 THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES
11. xvi. 1. DSL interpolate SieXdcov [SieXOovrei^
TCI 'idvrj ravra because they had abeady
made an interpolation in a previous verse
(xv. 41). The secondary character here is
shown by the constant repetition of ^lep-^^ea-Qm
which already stands in xv. 41, stands again
in xvi. 4 (D), then again in xvi. 6, and lastly
also in xvi. 8 (D). This is not like St. Luke.
The genuine text has the word only in xv. 41
and xvi. 6 (thus twice instead of five times).
The use of ra eQvv] here is also unusual.
12. xvi. 6. One Latin authority reads in place
of VaKariKhv )(u)pav the plural "Galatiae
regiones " ; this is unimportant. Yet Blass
against all other authorities has received this
reading into the text.
13. xvi. 8. Instead of the difficult but un-
doubtedly correct TrapeXOovres, which has
here a metaphorical significance, DL read
SieXOovreg (rrjv Mfcr/ai/).
14. xvii. 1. The insertion in D of KarrjXQov eig
before "'A'TroXXcoviav (which must now lose its
article) and of KOLKeiOev before etV Oeora-aXoviKtjv
is probably intended to indicate that the
Apostles also preached in Apollonia (vide
supra on xiv. 25).
15. xvii. 15. Here is found in D the great inter-
polation: TraprjXOei/ SeT^v Qea-a-aXlav* CKCoXvOtj
yap cfV avTOv^ Ktjpv^ai tov Xoyov. The inter-
polator took offence at the circumstance that
Thessalia was passed by, and endeavoured to
explain it (after xvi. 7).
