"V. 23.--_MS. Cantabr._ Scripserunt epistolam per manus suas
continentem hæc, Apostoli, et presbyteri fratres, hiis qui sunt per
Antiochiam, et Syriam, et Ciliciam, qui sunt ex gentibus fratribus,
salutem.--_Græc. textui Laud._ consonat [versio _Italica_], nisi quòd
habet [Greek: kata tên Antiocheian, kai Surian, kai Kilikian], pro
Antiochiæ, et Syriæ, et Ciliciæ. _MSS. quidam_, pro [Greek: cheiros]
manum, legunt [Greek: cheirôn], cum Vulg.; _aliique plures tollunt_
[Greek: kai] _post seniores_. Irenæus, l. iii. c. 12. p. 199. a. legit:
Apostoli, et presbyteri fratres, his qui sunt in Antiochia, et Syria,
et Cilicia, fratribus ex gentibus salutem. S. Pacian., _Paræn. ad
Poenit._, p. 315. h.: Apostoli, et presbyteri fratres, his qui sunt
Antiochiæ, et Syriæ, et Ciliciæ, fratribus qui sunt ex gentibus
salutem. Vigil. Taps. l. xii. _De Trin._, p. 329. c.: Apostoli, et
presb. fratres, iis, qui Antiochiæ, et Syr., et Cilic. fratribus qui
sunt ex gentibus salutem."
This note certainly goes far to corroborate (if indeed it was not the chief
authority for) Dr. Burton's assertion; but it does little to satisfy my
curiosity on a point, which I conceive to be of considerable interest, and
of no slight importance, at the present time. The Cambridge MS. appears to
be in Latin only; as is also the passage referred to in Irenæus, whose
original Greek is lost. So that, after all, there is some ground to suspect
that there in fact exists _no Greek manuscript whatsoever_ without the
[Greek: kai].
I will add another note, which I find at the passage in Irenæus (_Contr.
Hær._, lib. iii. cap. 14. p. 199., ed. Par. 1710):
"Sic cum Irenæo habent codd. Cantabrig. et Alexand. et Vulgatus
interpres. _At in editis Græcis_: [Greek: presbuteroi kai hoi
adelphoi]."

Minor Queries.
_Belatucadrus._--In the _Poetical History_, by the French Jesuit, P.
Galtruchius, 5th edition, 1683, the sixteenth and closing chapter of the
first book of this history of the heathen gods is devoted to those
worshipped in England, and the last of whom mention is made is
Belatucadrus, being introduced and summarily disposed of as follows:
