198 EPISTLES OF S. IGNATIUS.
Brit. Mils. Add. 12 154 a volume of miscellaneous contents, which Wright
(Catal. p. 976) ascribes to the end of the 8th or beginning of the 9th century.
The first treatise, which contains the Ignatian quotation (fol. 13 a), is a
Plerophoria in defence of Monophysite doctrine. The quotation does not agree
exactly with the passage as quoted anywhere else. See Cureton C. I. pp. 220,
250, 359-
(4) Catena Patrwn [Anon. Syr.^].
Of the holy Ignatius, archbishop and martyr, from the Epistle to
those at Tarsus.
/ have learned that some, ministers of Satan, have desired to trouble
you ; there being some of them who say that Jesus was born in imagination,
and 7Cias crucified in imagination ; but others, that He is not the Son
of the Creator ; aid others, that He is God the Father who is over all;
a7id others, that He is a mere man ; and others, that this flesh will not
rise again {Tars. 2),
Brit. Mus. Add. 17 191, fol. 58 a; see Cureton C. I. p. 363 sq, Wright's
Catalogue p. 1012. This MS is a palimpsest ;
and the later hand, which contains
a collection from the fathers, is ascribed by Wright (p. 1008) to the 9th or
loth century (see also Cureton p. 363). The same fragment
is contained also in Brit.
Mus. Add. 1
72 14, fol. 74 a (see Wright p. 917), where the opening words of the
epistle, § I 'Atto Supi'as yue'xpt PwM'^s drjpi.op.axQ, also are quoted. This MS is ascribed
by Wright to the 7th century, and must be the same which Cureton (p. 364 sq)
mentions, without however giving the number, and assigns to the 6th century; see
also my notes on Clem. Rom. ii. § i. This same fragment from the Epistle to the
Tarsians is given also in Brit. Mus. Add. 14538, fol. 148 a (see Wright p. 1007), but
in a different form and somewhat mutilated owing to the condition of the MS.
The above is printed from Add. 17 191. The only variations of Add. 17214 are
that it reads 0\^L»r^ for the first word and inserts ^Sa
before r
