70 SUPPLEMENTAL NOTES. [1
Cmt. 11. 7-2 CHR. xxvi. 16
the passage Judic. xi. 35, teaches us to understand here nt
The verb e/xTroSooTarco is explained by the Lexicons as =
yiyvofJLat, e/xiroSwi/ fora/Acu, &c., and is cited from Diogenes Laert., x. 25
(ouSec eyu,7roSoorTaTi). I find it also in a papyrus of B.C. 117, in the
sense of "obstructing " (Tebtunis Papyri, 24, col. 3).
II. The ribbui over i * -* is a mere scribe's error, as in other cases
in our MS ;
see notes (Syr. text) on iii. 1, vi. 46, 47 infr.
A like
remark applies to the substitution of *> for
,
of which examples are
noted under ii. 13,
iii. 2.
16. Here, and ver. 17, as in the parallel, 2 Reg. xvii. 25, the Gr.
gives 'A.fi[t]tya{fl (all codd.) ;
and similarly where the other Abigail
is
named (1 Reg. xxv. 3, &c. ; xxx. 5; 2 Reg. ii. 2; iii. 3. But Syr. -
Hxp. here (it is not extant in 1 and 2 Reg.), with the Hebrew (followed
by Pesh.) in all these places, writes the final lomad. Possibly the Gr.
form of the name may be an early copyist's error, in misreading A for A.
IIL 5. 'BrjOa-dpcc]
In this place, and everywhere (2 Reg. xi. 3 ;
xii. 24 ; 3 Reg. i. 11, 15, 28, 31 ;
ii.
13, 18, 19 ;
Ps. 1. [Ii.]
2 [heading])
B writes B^po-a'ySec
: A writes BrjOadfiee in the first four places (in
2 and 3 Reg.) ;
but in the rest and here, as B : so too N in Ps. 1. is
(N not
extant in Reg., or here). Our version here writes .
^ -> -
A\io
(= 6vyarr/p
2/3a) ;
as also 3 Reg. i. 11 (marg. [Symmachus]) and i. 28 (txt).
The Hebr. is in this place ^H^TD (cp. ii. 3, supr.); elsewhere always
W$VO.
I* can hardly be doubted that Bvjpo-a^ee, though so strongly
vouched, is an early error, arising from confusion of the woman's
name with the familiar place-name.
20. There is some Gr. authority for OdA. (see Parsons' note in loc.\
and it agrees with the Hebr. ^ITN. It may be that the Syr. Aore
does not need to be corrected as suggested in note to p. 7 ;
and that
the Ooa of A and 'Ocra of B are corruptions due to the similarity of
A and A (as in Note supr. on ii. 16).
2 CHRONICLES.
XXVI. 1 6. I have inserted rjKy&iaafv, in place of rj&iKrja-ev
which
all Gr. MSS and mss read here, as the word represented by the Syr.
My reasons for venturing on this emendation are as follows :
