84 I translate according to the sense,—the text being manifestly corrupt. Τὴν τοῦτο φάσκουσαν περικοπήν is probably a gloss, explanatory of τὸ κεφάλαιον αὐτό. In strictness, the κεφάλαιον begins at ch. xv. 42, and extends to the end of the Gospel. There are 48 such κεφάλαια in S. Mark. But this term was often loosely employed by the Greek Fathers, (as “capitulum” by the Latins,) to denote _a passage_ of Scripture, and it is evidently so used here. Περικοπή, on the contrary, in this place seems to have its true technical meaning, and to denote the liturgical _section_, or “lesson.” 85 Ἀνάγνωσμα (like περικοπή, spoken of in the foregoing note,) seems to be here used in its technical sense, and to designate the liturgical _section_, or “lectio.” See Suicer, _in voce_. 86 The text of Eusebius seems to have experienced some disarrangement and depravation here. 87 Mai, _Bibl. P.P. Nova_, iv. 255-7. For purposes of reference, the original of this passage is given in the Appendix (B). 88 Mai, iv. 257. So far, I have given the substance only of what Eusebius delivers with wearisome prolixity. It follows,—ὥστε τὸν αὐτὸν σχεδὸν νοεῖσθαι καιρὸν, ἡ τὸν σφόδρα ἐγγὺς, παρὰ τοῖς εὐαγγελισταῖς διαφόροις ὀνόμασι τετηρημένον. μηδέν τε διαφέρειν Ματθαῖον ἰρηκότα “ὀψὲ—τάφον” [xxviii. 1.] Ἰωάννου φήσαντος “τῇ δὲ μιᾷ—ἔτι οὔσης σκοτίας.” [xx. 1.] πλατυκῶς γὰρ ἕνα καὶ τὸν αὐτὸν δηλοῦσι χρόνον διαφόροις ῥήμασι. [xxviii. 1.]—For the principal words in the text, see the Appendix (B) _ad fin._ 89 I allude to the following places:—Combefis, _Novum Auctarium_, col. 780.—Cod. Mosq. 138, (printed by Matthaei, _Anectt. Græc._ ii. 62.)—also Cod. Mosq. 139, (see N. T. ix. 223-4.)—Cod. Coislin. 195 _fol._ 165.—Cod. Coislin. 23, (published by Cramer, _Catt._ i. 251.)—Cod. Bodl. ol. Meerman Auct. T. i. 4, _fol._ 169.—Cod. Bodl. Laud. Gr. 33, _fol._ 79.—Any one desirous of knowing more on this subject will do well to begin by reading Simon _Hist. Crit. du N. T._ p. 89. See Mai’s foot-note, iv. p. 257. 90 Ep. cxx. _Opera_, (ed. Vallars.) vol. i. pp. 811-43. _ 91 Ibid._ p. 844. _ 92 Ibid._ p. 793-810. See especially pp. 794, 809, 810.
