Rom. xv. 31. Lachmann and Tregelles (in his margin only) accept the manifest gloss δωροφορία for διακονία with B (_see_ Vol. I. p. 290 for its “_Western_ element”) D*FG (_d_ _e_ have _remuneratio_) and Ambrosiaster (_munerum meorum ministratio_). But διακονία is found in אACD2 and 3 and consequently in E (_see_ Vol. I. p. 176), _f_ (_ministratio_), _g_ (_administratio_), Vulg. (_obsequii mei oblatio_), so _d_***, _fuld._ and Origen in the Latin (_ministerium_), with both Syriac, the Bohairic, Armenian and Ethiopic versions, Chrysostom, Theodoret, and John Damascene. 1 Cor. xiii. 5. Never was a noble speech more cruelly pared down to a trite commonplace than by the reading of B and Clement of Alexandria (very expressly) οὐ ζητεῖ τὰ μὴ ἑαυτῆς, in the place of οὐ ζητεῖ τὰ (or τὸ) ἑαυτῆς of the self-same Clement just as expressly elsewhere (_see_ p. 262 and note 3), and of all other authorities of every description. Here Westcott and Hort place τὸ μή in their margin. Col. iv. 15. For αὐτοῦ Lachmann, Tregelles’ margin, Hort and Westcott have αὐτῆς from B, 676**, and the text of the later Syriac, thus implying that νύμφα is the Doric feminine form, which is very unlikely. 1 Thess. v. 4. Lachmann with Hort and Westcott (but not their margin) reads κλέπτας for κλέπτης with AB and the Bohairic, but this cannot be right. Heb. vii. 1. For ὁ συναντήσας Lachmann, Tregelles, Hort and Westcott’s text have ὃς συναντήσας with אABC**DEK, 17, a broken sentence: but this is too much even for Dr. Hort, who says, in the language habitual to him, that ὁ seems “a right emendation of the Syrian revisers” (Notes, p. 130). James i. 17. What can be meant by ἀποσκιάσματος of א*B it is hard to say. The versions are not clear as to the sense, but _ff_ alone seems to suggest the genitive (_modicum obumbrationis_). That valuable Cod. 184, now known only by Sanderson’s collation at Lambeth (No. 1255, 10-14)(320), is said by him to _add_ to the end of the verse οὐδὲ μέχρι ὑπονοίας τινὸς ὑποβολὴ ἀποσκιάσματος, which seems like a scholion on the preceding clause, and is found also in Cod. 221. Nor will any one praise certain readings of Cod. B in James i. 9; 1 Pet. i. 9; 11; ii. 1; 12; 25; iii. 7; 14; 18 (_om._ τῷ θεῷ); iv. 1; v. 3; 2 Pet. i. 17; 1 John i. 2; ii. 14; 20; 25; 27; iii. 15; 3 John 4; 9; Jude 9, which passages the student may work out for himself.
