XV. Quarterly sa. and arg., a cross moline quarterly, erm. and ----. (Colour gone.) The names to these coats of arms might enable one to trace whence the original bits came; it might be possible that the old windows of the cathedral (said to have been destroyed) served for filling up the borders of the old palace windows. W. H. P. * * * * * ON A PASSAGE IN ACTS XV. 23. Dr. Burton (_Greek Test._, Oxford, 1848), in a note on the words [Greek: hoi presbuteroi kai hoi adelphoi] (Acts xv. 23.), says: "Most MSS. read [Greek: hoi presbuteroi adelphoi]." I should feel much obliged to any of your readers who could kindly direct me to some particular manuscripts, to which Dr. Burton may possibly have alluded when he wrote the above note; or who could refer me to _any Greek MSS. of authority_, in which the [Greek: kai] is not found. I have been enabled to consult the _Codex Laudianus_, a MS. of the seventh century; also the _MS. Canon_, of the early part of the tenth century; and the _Codex Ebner._, of the twelfth century. In neither of these is the [Greek: kai] missing. Nor am I aware of any Greek Bible or New Testament printed without the [Greek: kai]; nor indeed of any translation without the conjunction (though there may be some such) in Latin, or in any other language, with the single exception of the Vulgate after St. Jerome, and its several versions. The Bibles of Sixtus V. and Clement VIII., agreeing in this particular, read alike, "Apostoli et seniores fratres." On the other hand, Vutablus, in his new translation, reads, "Apostoli et presbyteri _et_ fratres;" which is likewise the reading of the _interp. Syriac._, as given in the _Biblia Regia_; also of Beza, as given in the edition of the Bible, _Oliva Roberti Stephani_, 1556; whilst in the _Novum Testamentum e Græco archetypo Latino sermone redditum, Theodoro Beza interprete_, ed. Hanov. 1623, the reading is, "Apostoli, et seniores, et fratres;" which is also the reading in _Bibl. Sacr. ex Sebastiani Castellionis interpretatione_, ed. Francofurti, 1697. To which may be added the _Biblia Gallica_, 1580; the _Bibl. Belg._, ed. Leydæ, 1737; and Luther's German Bible,--all which retain the _and_. I have also consulted a more important version, namely, the ancient Italic, which also reads, "Apostoli, et seniores, _et_ fratres;" but which (in Pet. Sabatier's edition, Par. 1751) has appended to the verse the following note:
