Footnote 104:
Schmidt and Lichtenhaus in the articles above quoted attribute many of
the discrepancies in the story of Pistis Sophia to the supposed fact
that the translator or the scribe was working on several different
documents or on different recensions of one document. This is likely
enough; but as its details savour of the textual criticisms or, as it
seems to me, the guess work which has given us the “polychrome” Bible,
I have thought it best not to dwell further upon it.
