4-5] SUPPLEMENTAL NOTES. 99
but early hand has attempted to emend this by inserting 1 before a
(and perhaps marking with ribbui), so that the word now stands as
(y OifO. Hence the spurious reading ]'.' l ft of 2 (which codex is
undoubtedly in this Epistle closely akin to 1)
and of the later texts in
general (except as above, 18(?), 19, 20, and Etzel's), including even that
which is represented by the Arabic. This reading would obviously be
the more readily adopted because of the occurrence of l''l ( Tip.rj)
in vv. 1 (supr.)
and 17 (infr.).
Here again the remark suggests itself
that, though the Harkl. supports rifua in common with 9, 12, 14, 19,
these codices cannot have derived their text here by correction after that
version ;
for its rendering is not O (,' i > as theirs, but the cognate and
equivalent |yO i V>. It is to be noted that this latter adjective is
throughout the N.T. substituted by Harkl. for ;
i
Oi, which Pesh.
like Philox. prefers. Similarly in the Apocalypse, the earlier (presumably
Philox.) version (S) renders rt'/zios by >.Qa, and the later (2,
presumably Harkl.) in every case substitutes ;OV).* Seeing that
2 is evidently a revision of S, their usage as regards these two words
serves to confirm the reading
Ib.
{','-*
^* here.
All copies of Philox. read ^OH\ (= vfuv, against nearly all Greek
authorities see note on Gr. text in loc., p. 58). Harkl. in its text has
^^ (= wlv, as all Gr. copies except A and 68), but adds the alternative
tQ2,L in its
margin ;t probably referring to the Philox. reading (vfjlv is
rarely found in Gr. copies).
See, for a like instance, Note on ver. 8 (infr.),
5. Of our codices, 14 (Paris, 29) alone omits O1AD (=z Trao-av),
but
with some Gr. support. Harkl. inserts it, but (a only) with # prefixed
(y diverges). This symbol may imply that the translator was aware of
Gr. evidence for and against the word ; but (in view of such instances
as those in vv. 4, 8, &c.) it is rather to be taken as signifying that iraaav
was absent from his Gr. exemplar, but C1^2 was retained by him
because he found it in Philox.
* By the earlier (S) version is meant that edited by me (Dublin, 1897). The
later (2) is that first edited by De Dieu (Leiden, 1627), and included in the
Polyglots and. all subsequent Syr, New Testaments. For the grounds on which
the former is to be accepted as Philoxeuian, and the latter as Harklensian, see
Appendix III. infr.
f Of the three codices of Harkl, distinguished as , 7, 8, collated in Appendix
II. (infr.) with cod. a and White's text, and 7 give no marginal notes or
textual marks ;
5 (like a) gives several, in this place and elsewhere.
