B P, followed by W-H). This reading, as more truly represented by
the Syr., has been adopted in the Gr. Text, supr., p. 62.
In this case there is no variation in our Syriac copies, except that 11
and 20, with Harkl.,* represent /jLcXXovrw by ^-OOLJ 3 . ,-Al . . . j ^_JC1
(fern., equivalent to neut.), thus definitely adopting the rendering (6).
In this variation from the other codices, 1 1 and 20 give an instance of
a correction into conformity with Harkl., introduced into Philox. by
painstaking editors at a late date (Cent, xv.). So again, codd. 13 and
20 in Jud. 7 ;
where see first Note infr.
g. J^J] This reading rests, as regards the consonants, on the authority
of codd. 1 and 2, but is written by them J^J (presumably = J.j
= r^pet).
For this there is no Gr. support. The rest read )Ci&l(
= Tr)pria-i).
But
as this also is unknown to the Gr., JCL^J can only be understood as if
JQ^J? (j being carried on from the preceding fut. *jQOJ2U>) so that
Iva. .... PVTJTOLL [W] = rrjprjcrr] pveaOai .... r^petv. This being so, I have
ventured, while adopting ^J on the authority of 1 and 2, to disregard
their pointing, and to write J^J (as on p. 7, supr.), which is a more
usual formf of the 3 pers. fut. sing, of this verb than JQ^J. With
either reading the Gr. represented is
10. ..;Q] So Codd. 1, 2, 12 (9 is here illegible), and with them 3,
18, 20 ; representing eV 7ri0v/ua with the best Gr. text. Harkl. follows
