it was written by the famous Jacob of Edessa himself (see p. 338 sq).
It contains Hymns by Severus of Antioch, translated into Greek by
Paul bishop of Edessa in the early decades of the sixth century (see
p. 336). Among these is one in honour of Ignatius (fol. 48 a), and
a marginal note contains extracts illustrating the references in the text.
They are headed ' From the Epistle of the same Ignatius to the
Romans,' and are as follows ;
Rom. 4 Eyw ypd(f)(jL)...TOv o'co/AaTO'; /xov.

These marginal notes, which accompany the hymns, appear to have
emanated from the scribe himself, presumably Jacob of Edessa. The
Hymn on Ignatius will be printed for the first time lower down ;
the
extracts from the Epistle to the Romans were published by Cureton
C. I. p. 296, and have been collated anew for the present edition by
Dr Wright (see iii. p. 102 sq).
(4) Cantabr. S. P. C. K. 26 [SJ. This group of fragments came
into my hands while I was passing this second edition through the
criticus to
press, in time to enable me to use them for the apparatus
the text, but not to print them where S^ S, S3 are printed, and where
they would otherwise naturally have had a place, among the Syriac
Remains in the Appendix, iii. p. 93 sq. They are therefore given in
full
on the next page.
The MS containing them is one of those presented to the University
of Cambridge by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge ;
and,
as they are not yet fully catalogued, the numbering {S. P. C. K. 26)
which I have given must be regarded as provisional. This MS is partly
described in Dr Wright's Notulae Syriacae (Christmas 1887) printed for
private circulation ;
but he has permitted me to see in manuscript a
fuller notice which will appear in the Catalogue of these mss which he
is preparing for the University. It was written 'apparently by two
hands of the xiiith century' and contains 'a large
collection of ecclesiastical
canons and extracts from various writers relating to ecclesiastical
law.' At the beginning of the volume is a hitherto unknown
recension of the laws of the emperors Constantine, Theodosius, and Leo,
described by Wright Not. Syr. p. 3 sq. Among the other contents are
(fol. 259 a) the same 'Questions of the priest Addai' with the 'Answers
of Jacob of Edessa,' which appear likewise in the volume containing S
(see above, p. 92). Altogether
it contains much interesting matter,
e.g. large extracts from the Clementine Recognitions, and a short fragment
