Note to p. 121, § 170 (p. 328): “The Essays of Dr. Chase on _The Syriac Element in Codex Bezae_, Cambridge, 1893, and _The Syro-Latin Text of the Gospels_, Cambridge, 1895, are a most important contribution to the solution of a fundamental problem in the history of the text of the N.T. The discovery of the Sinaitic MS. of the Old Syriac raises the question whether the combination of the oldest types of the Syriac and Latin texts can outweigh the combination of the primary Greek texts. A careful examination of the passages in which Syr^{sin} and k are arrayed against א B, would point to the conclusion.” [The proper title of Chase’s Essays is The Old Syriac, under which shorter (outside) title Zahn also quotes them (_Einl._, ii. 348).] This statement by Westcott sounds strange after the remark made in the Preface. “For the rest,” he says there, “I may perhaps be allowed to say that no arguments have been advanced against the general principles maintained in the Introduction and illustrated in the Notes since the publication of the First Edition, which were not fully considered by Dr. Hort and myself in the long course of our work, and in our judgment dealt with accurately.—Auckland Castle, March 27, 1896. B. F. D.” Footnote 238: See my _Philologica Sacra_, p. 3, where I have cited this passage of Lagarde. His book may not be very accessible to textual critics. Footnote 239: “Thou shalt worship no manuscripts” was one of the ten commandments that Lehrs gave philologists. Footnote 240: This passage was the subject of a heated discussion between Severus and Macedonius at Constantinople in the year 510. On this occasion the superb copy of Matthew’s Gospel, which had been discovered in the grave of Barnabas in the reign of the Emperor Zeno, was brought upon the scene. Footnote 241: Compare what Westcott and Hort say of Whiston and Bornemann, cited above, p. 222, and particularly the section on the twofold recension of the Acts in Zahn’s _Einleitung_, ii. § 59, pp. 338-359. See also Burkitt’s Introduction to Barnard’s _Biblical Text of Clement of Alexandria_ (_Texts and Studies_, v. 5), especially p. xviii: “Let us come out of the land of Egypt, which speaks, as Clement’s quotations show, with such doubtful authority, and let us see whether the agreement of East and West, of Edessa and Carthage, will not give us a surer basis upon which to establish our text of the Gospels.” Footnote 242:
