is ΒΚ In D however they are written (though by the fi-st hand) in smaller
letters and extend beyond the line (in both Greek and Latin), whence
we may infer that they were not found in a copy which was before the tran-
scriber. They are wanting also in the Thebaic Version and in one form of the
Ethiopic (Polyglott). They were also absent from copies used by Cle-
ment of Alexandria (Pad. iii. 11, p. 295, where however they are inserted
in the printed texts; Strom. iii. 5, p. 531), by Cyprian (Zpist. lv. 27, p. 645


1 The references to the patristic quo-
tations in the following pages have all
been verified. I have also consulted
the Egyptian and Syriac Versions in
every case, and the Armenian and
Latin in some instances, before giving
the readings. As regards the mss, I
have contented myself with the colla-
tions as given in Tregelles and Tisch-
endorf, not verifying them unless I
had reason to suspect an error.
