[32] I look for an approving word from learned Dr. Field, who wrote in 1875--'The real obstacle to our acquiescing in the reading of the T.R. is, that if the words [Greek: oude echo] had once formed a part of the original text, there is no possibility of accounting for the subsequent omission of them.' The same remark, but considerably toned down, is found in his delightful Otium Norvicense, P. iii, p. 84. [33] B and C read--[Greek: all' oudenos logou poioumai ten psychen emauto]: which is exactly what Lucifer Calarit. represents,--'_sed pro nihilo aestimo animam meam caram esse mihi_' (Galland. vi. 241). [34] [Symbol: Aleph] reads--[Greek: all' oudenos logon poioumai ten psychen timian emauto hos teleioso ton dromon mou]. [35] '_Sed nihil horum_ ([Greek: touton] is found in many Greek Codd.) _vereor, nee facio animam meam pretiosiorem quam me_.' So, the _Cod. Amiat._ It is evident then that when Ambrose (ii. 1040) writes '_nec facio animam meam cariorem mihi_,' he is quoting the latter of these two clauses. Augustine (iii^{1}. 516), when he cites the place thus, '_Non enim facto animam meam preliosiorem quam me_'; and elsewhere (iv. 268) '_pretiosam mihi_'; also Origen (_interp._ iv. 628 c), '_sed ego non facto cariorem animam meam mihi_'; and even the Coptic, '_sed anima mea, dico, non est pretiosa mihi in aliquo verbo_':--these evidently summarize the place, by making a sentence out of what survives of the second clause. The Latin of D exhibits '_Sed nihil horum cura est mihi: neque habeo ipsam animam caram mihi_.' [36] Dr. Field says that it may be thus Graecized--[Greek: all' oudena logon poioumai, oude lelogistai moi psyche ti timion]. [37] ii. 296 e,--exactly as the T.R. [38] Exactly as the T.R., except that he writes [Greek: ten psychen] without [Greek: mou] (ix. 332). So again, further on (334 b), [Greek: ouk echo timian ten emautou psychen]. This latter place is quoted in Cramer's Cat. 334. [39] _Ap._ Mai ii. 336 [Greek: edei kai tes zoes kataphronein hyper tou teleiosai ton dromon, oude ten psychen ephe poieiosai timian heauto.] [40] [Greek: logon echo, oude poioumai ten psychen timian emauto, oste k.t.l.] (_ap._ Galland. x. 222). [41] [Greek: all' oudenos logon poioumai ton deinon, oude echo ten psychen timian emauto]. Epist. ad Tars. c. 1 (Dressel, p. 255). [42] The whole of Dr. Field's learned annotation deserves to be carefully read and pondered. I speak of it especially in the shape in which it originally appeared, viz. in 1875. [43] Ibid. p. 2 and 3.
