The Acts of the Apostles

LANDS, NATIONS, CITIES, AND HOUSES 115
16. xviii. 25. Here D, in an explanatory interpolation
(though it does not give any new
information), reports that Apollos was in-
structed in Christianity ev rij TrarplSi (i.e. in
Alexandria).-^
17. xix. 28. The interpolation Spajmovreg eig to
cifMCpoSov (DS also Mediolan.) naturally does
not presuppose a special knowledge of the
locality, but is intended only to inform us that
the scene was now transferred to the street.
18. XX. 15. After irape^aXojuLev eig ^djmov D
(also the codices HLP and very many cursives)
SL read koi /melvavTe^ ev TpcoyiXla rTpcoyv-
XX/ft)]. This seems to be the original read-
ing ; its omission also is intelligible ; yet on
this point absolute certainty cannot be at-
tained vide infra on xxi. 1 and 16.
19. xxi. 1. Here DLK insert koi Mvpa after
lidrapa ; probably an interpolation after
xxvii. 5/.

as dwelling in a village between Caesarea and
Jerusalem, not in Jerusalem itself. This text
appears at first sight very attractive; on closer
1 I do not discuss the interpolations made by D and its satellites
in xviii. 21, 27/ ; xix. 1, as they do not serve our present purpose
with the exception of the reading "raty ^KK\r](riais " {'Axatas) for
rots irema-TevKoffLP. Here we are informed that there were several
churches in Achaia.
