Introduction to the textual criticism of the Greek New Testament

I take the opportunity of appending to Resch’s work the fine saying
which Zahn cites from Augustine’s _Contra Adversarium Legis et
Prophetarum_ (ed. Bassan. x. 659 ff.) as an otherwise unknown
Apocryphum. The disciples asked Jesus “de Judaeorum prophetis, quid
sentire deberet, qui de adventu eius aliquid cecinisse in praeteritum
putantur.” And He, “commotus talia eos etiam nunc sentire, respondit:
Dimisistis vivum qui ante vos est et de mortuis fabulamini.” A similar
saying from the _Acta Petri Vercell._ 10 is cited by Harnack in
connection with the third of the Oxyrhynchus Logia: “Qui mecum sunt, non
me intellexerunt.”
Footnote 265:
See Mrs. Lewis, in the _Expository Times_, November 1900, p. 56 ff.,
_What have we gained in the Sinaitic Palimpsest? I. St. Matthew’s
Gospel_, where a number of important variants are cited from that
manuscript.
Footnote 266:
Corderius (_Caten. Psal._, ii. 631) substitutes “ancient” for
“accurate.”
Footnote 267:
Or “exemplo graeco,” according as the plural points are inserted or
not. The passage is printed in Syriac by Cureton, p. xxxvi, who says
that it is also found in the margin of the London manuscript of the
Peshitto, 14456. He also gives the verses in which Juvencus
paraphrases this text.
Footnote 268:
The other variations of the Latin witnesses are extremely
instructive—viz.:
locis eminentioribus superioribus g_{2} emm. honorificis m
clarior dignior d m g_{2} honoratior e
emm.
deorsum inferius g_{2} emm. infra m
inferior humilior minor
superius sursum in superiori
loco.
utilius utile gloriam.
This variety is an indication of the early age at which the text was
translated into Latin.
Footnote 269:
The _Thesaurus Syriacus_ does not contain the word either in col. 1405
under חשמיתא, or in col. 2205 under מרא.
It may also be observed in passing, that the passage is one of those
whose sense is entirely changed by the insertion or omission of the
negative in this or that witness (see below on Gal. ii. 5). Instead of
καὶ ἐκ μείζονος, Syr^{cu} reads καὶ μὴ ἐκ μείζονος. Moreover, it takes
ζητεῖτε as imperative, a fact that Tischendorf has failed to notice.
Footnote 270:
I see that Chase, who discusses the passage in pp. 9-14 of his
_Syro-Latin Text_, has the same impression: “the compound Greek word
in D, ὁ δειπνοκλήτωρ, seems intended to represent the Syriac
expression ‘the lord of the supper.’”
Footnote 271:
The case is quite different in 1 Macc. v. 2, where the first hand of א
wrote ὠργίσθησαν for ἐβουλεύσαντο. Here ὠργίσθη occurs immediately
before it.
Footnote 272:
So given in Merx’s edition, but not in Lewis.—_Tr._
Footnote 273:
