92 EPISTLES OF S. IGNATIUS.
occur in the following order; Ephes. 5. 6; 13; 153 Magn. 5, 6; Trail.
(written as if Titilians) 2, 3 ; 5, 6, 7 ; Polyc. 3; 6; Philad. 3, 4 ; 7; 10;
Smyrn. (called ' the Church of Asia ') 8, 9 ; Magn. 6, 7 Trail,
; (again
Titilians) 8; g, 10, 11 ; /'(/}'f. 7. At the close are the words, 'Here
end these [passages] of Saint Ignatius, the God-clad and Martyr.' As
some of the Cyprianic documents included in the collection are stated
{Catal. p. 24) to have been translated first from the Latin into Greek,
and afterwards from the Greek into Syriac in A. Gr. 998 (i.e. a.d. 687),
and as the last extract (fol. 273 sq) in the handwriting of the original
scribe (or at least the last remaining extract, for the original MS is mutilated
at the end, and other matter is added in a later hand) contains
questions proposed to Jacob of Edessa in this same year a.d. 687 by a
certain presbyter Addai with Jacob's answers thereto, it may be inferred
with some probability that this was about the date of the collection.
Of the MS itself Cureton (p. 345), who however does not appear to have
seen it, considers that ' although ancient, it is probably considerably
later,' while Zotenberg says that it ' semble etre du ix^ sibcle.'
•(2) Brit. M21S. Add. 14577 [SJ ; see Wright's Catal. of Syr. MSS
p. 784 sq.
A congeries of short fragments huddled together. They
are written on the vellum lining and blank page of the first leaf of a
Syriac volume brought from the Nitrian desert in 1842 and numbered
as above. It is described by Cureton {Corp. Ign. p. 348 sq), who
assigns it to the eleventh or twelfth century. From Wright's account
however these extracts appear to have been written by one Moses about
A.D. 932 ;
see Catal. p. 787 sq. These fragments, which are published
and translated by Cureton (pp. 201 sq, 235 sq), are headed, 'From the
writings
of Saint Ignatius,
in the following order ;
the God-clad, bishop of Antioch,' and occur
