Thus (neglecting the aberration of
18) there are three readings:
(a] *,I!A tjipKjO, (6) wi r*AO simply, (c) wip^O ^ .j^O. It seems probable
that (c),
the reading of most of the later copies (joined by 14 and
others), is merely a conflation of (a) with It (6). may well be that
Philox. originally expressed ^a/peiv by ^ ^ rx (a) ;
that some editor, for
greater accuracy (perhaps after the example of HarkL), left out (b) the
CTOL
j*\
not being expressed in the Gr. , ;
and that later copyists, with
no Gr. authority, combined the two (c). Etzel, followed by Pococke, tries
to give meaning to the reiteration of -> r >j by rendering " ave et vale ";
Arab, similarly; also Schaaf, "salve tibi et vale"; but Polygl., less
plausibly, "laetare frowoque sis animo" These translations, and the
editions except (as above) L N, follow the later copies, and read as (c).
11. The shapJiel form ^LQ.mLo (= /cotvwvet),
which I adopt
on the
authority of 1 alone, is rare; else in Pesh. N.T. only Act. vii. 61
(= crwcuSoKcoi/). All other copies, with Harkl., use the ordinary
eshtapJiel form *2>2oAmSo, which conjugation is the one usually employed
in rendering KOIVWI/W in Pesh. and Harkl. alike. On the
authority of Thes. Syr. (s.v.) I write the last syllable with not ~.

12. Our translator uses the verb |lO to render /?ovXo/uu here; and
in the parallel, 3 Joh. 13, to render tfe'Aw (if
he so read that verse) ;
Harkl., with more precision, while he uses |lS here, writes ID
O
. for
0e'A.o) there. But both versions render /?ou'Ao/xcu by ]^t instead of
V^D, 2 Pet. iii. 9 and Jud. 5.
13. All texts of Philox., with all Gr., read "U
(= dffTra^erat ere ra reWa) ; while Harkl. substitutes
]i1 ; S) (= do-Tra^ov ra T.),
with Ethiop. alone ;
but in the marg. he (u)
inserts the ordinary reading (whether from Philox. or from a Gr.
exemplar). [Correct here the Syr. text (p. 26), where 1 *^ is
wrongly
printed for
^vl).]
II. The closing salutation before ^iVV), ^QOSni IZo^i (= fj ^apts
/u,era o-ov), is not given by any of our older codices except 2, nor in
12, 19, 20; and 5 has it only on marg. (writing uLOSo^) ;
Arab, also
omits it. But all the other later copies, and 2, with Etzel and the
Polyglots, insert it, followed by all editions. It is very weakly supported
by Gr. evidence, of a few cursives only ; Harkl., however,
