Matt. vi. 8 read, “before you open your mouth.” But it is quite impossible to ignore the evidence of D in Luke xiii. 8 (κόφινον κοπρίων). Here too, of course, one might take exception and say that as D is bilingual, its Greek text might be derived from the Latin. Fortunately, however, it happens that the Latin of D, that is, d, differs from all the other eight Latin witnesses in reading not _cophinus_ but _qualus_, and it is _cophinus_ that is a loan word from the Greek[188]; so that this objection, actually raised against D in the case of other readings, does not apply to this one. There is this to be observed, moreover—a point not given in Tischendorf, but noticed in Westcott and Hort—viz., that Origen also seems to have read “basket.” The passage is again one that is extant only in the Latin translation of Rufinus, and Tischendorf cites Or. 3, 452 among the witnesses supporting κόπρια; but Westcott and Hort expressly mention that Origen’s context appears to support the reading κόφινον (“Lev. lat. Ruf., 190, apparently with context”). Here, then, we have these three stages:— (1) D d alone, φέρε τὴν ἀξίνην—_i.e._ one solitary Greek manuscript. (2) D supported by h, ἀνοῖξαι τὸ στόμα—_i.e._ the same solitary Greek manuscript with the addition of one representative of a version. (3) D supported by eight Latin manuscripts and Origen, κόφινον κοπρίων—_i.e._ the same solitary Greek manuscript with the addition of eight representatives of one version and one not absolutely certain quotation.
