[76]Not in the Epitome but in the Latin, Ethiopic, Constitutions, Testament and Canons. [77]The doxologies suffer probably more than any other phrases by transmission. The translation given follows no text precisely but represents what seems to be the most likely original form. [78]The indicative, “ye perform”, of the Latin is a misrendering of the (ambiguous) original Greek. [79]On the doxology compare note on 3. 7. [80]The Latin might also be rendered “Not with ordinary words but with similar power”. But the Ethiopic confirms the above translation. [81]Literally “Cause that from thy sweetness there may not recede this fruit of the olive”. [82]An Ethiopic section (Statute 5) generally printed here (7) is not by Hippolytus; compare pp. 30-31. [83]Reading “presbyteri” for “presbyteris”. [84]Testament “in holiness to thy holy place”; Ethiopic “in thy holy of holies”. [85]Testament “from the inheritance of thy high-priesthood”. [86]Testament adds “and purely and holily”. [87]Testament “high and exalted office”. The Ethiopic manuscripts differ considerably in their renderings of “he may ... office”; Horner’s _a_ reads “having served the degrees of ordination he may obtain the exalted priesthood”. But only _a_ reads “priesthood”. [88]Doxology conformed to preceding; that in the Testament is rather different. [89]With the Sahidic agree almost exactly the Arabic, the Testament and the Canons. The Ethiopic has been edited from a different view point. [90]These words seem clearly implied by the context; Hippolytus has now concluded the discussion of ordinations proper. [91]Ethiopic and Arabic omit this “not”, making the passage senseless. [92]The Ethiopic makes the sense of the original clear. [93]In the Sahidic the readers and subdeacons precede the widows. [94]So the Ethiopic and Arabic. Sahidic reads “nor does she conduct _liturgia_”. [95]Compare last note. [96]Epitome 13. [97]The Sahidic misjoins “new” with “faith”. [98]The Ethiopic adds “or if a woman has a husband”. [99]Following the variant Sahidic reading in Horner, p. 436. [100]The Constitutions show that the Sahidic is right against the other evidence (“let his master’s permission be gained”). [101]The Constitutions (32. 3) have preserved the original here, which the Sahidic renders freely. [102]The Sahidic, against the other evidence, adds “according to the law”. [103]The Sahidic amplifies. [104]Supplied to give the obvious sense. [105]The Ethiopic shows that this is the sense; the Sahidic has misunderstood the use of “authority”. [106]Literally “nor cause him to swear”. [107]“Male harlot”? [108]This Sahidic list has been interpreted from the list in Constitutions 32. 11. [109]So the Sahidic and the Testament. The Ethiopic and Arabic have “shall exact an oath from each one of them”.
