fashion writes tQQ^ iOZj| Oj-, but marks the pronouns with #. In
this case (as in ver. 5, supr.,
where see second Note) this symbol has no
necessary reference to Philox., or to any other authority. Both versions,
in what they subjoin to the verb, intend to give the force of
middle voice.

And Harkl. punctiliously inserts the * to note the pronouns

having been one of those from which the words have dropped out (after
TT]v aXriO. immediately preceding in ver. 1) ;
but cod. a supplies in

exemplar. For his usage seems to be, when he retains a word from
Philox. which was not in his Gr., to place it not (as here) on his
margin, but in his text with # (see Notes supr. on 2 Pet. i. 5, 8, &c.).
3. All our copies, with Arab, and Etzel, support the best-attested
Gr. reading, fj(j.uv (

whereas the Polyglots (giving .

represent the less-approved v/xwv.

our older codices except 14, and some later ones (including 3, 18, 20),
is confirmed by the support of Arab., as well as Harkl., a somewhat
unusual combination; and the reading has adequate Gr. attestation
(of N K L P, many mss, and other versions). On the other side, not
only our later copies (such as 7, 8, 10, 15), but some of more weight (11,
