Lamech (how)] to preserve [his soul unto life], [and to escape] for [ever.<br />

Only the identification <strong>of</strong> fragment / is relatively certain.<br />

Texts to be compared: C, S, E.<br />

LI. 3-4 (En. 10: 3). <strong>The</strong> text <strong>of</strong> S is certainly the best, C and E giving a drastic abridgement<br />

<strong>of</strong> it.<br />

L. 3. Note the defective spelling <strong>of</strong> HtSI&P, normal in this manuscript; *the righteous' is<br />

a traditional epithet <strong>of</strong> Noah: Gen. 6: 9; 7: i; Sir. 44: 17; etc.—I transfer kol before rov vlov<br />

infinitives N^2£2^ and [D^DD^] depend on [^*?N].<br />

L. 5 (En. 10: 4). I follow S again, C and E having omitted mpcvov 'Pa^ariX kol before Srjaov;<br />
