Remnants of the Hexapla

HEXAPLA THAT REMAIN. ADMONITION ON GENESIS.

Although we have exerted great effort to collect from every quarter the readings of the ancient interpreters on Genesis, we were not able at once to obtain the use of the excellent Coislin codex, which surpasses all others in its antiquity and the quality of its marginal notes. Whence it happened that we were compelled to publish Genesis, as we had arranged it with the help of other manuscripts, bereft of that one. However, when the most illustrious Bishop of Metz, the glory of the Coislin family, had come into possession of that library and had granted us, according to our wish, a copy of all the manuscripts, we placed at the end of the first volume, in the manner of an appendix, the readings of the entire Heptateuch, not yet published, which we borrowed from that most excellent codex. Since, furthermore, these are quite numerous and not infrequently more accurate than those which we had set down at the beginning, we advise the diligent reader that, when he may wish to consult the interpretations of the Heptateuch, he should by no means neglect those placed in the appendix (a).

We have published Genesis, first of all, using the manuscripts and books whose catalog follows: The codex of the Very Reverend Fathers of Saint Basil in Rome, for the final chapters of Genesis only. Codex Regius 1825, vellum, of the 11th or 12th century, in which is the Heptateuch and the Book of Ruth. Codex Reg. 1871, vellum, of excellent quality, 10th century. Codex Reg. 1888, paper (cotton-based), 12th century. Another Codex Reg. whose number has been lost. Codex Reg. 2911, of about the 12th century. Codex Colbertinus, which I found to be the only one in that library for Genesis. The notes of the most illustrious man François Combefis, of the Order of Preachers, which I received on loan from the Reverend and most learned Father Michel Lequien. Notes and several published pages which the most illustrious man Ernest Grabe sent. Basil on the Hexaemeron. Ambrose on the Hexaemeron. Jerome's *Questions on Genesis*, and certain other works of his. Theodoret’s *Questions on Genesis*. Anastasius' *Questions*. John Philoponus on the Hexaemeron, edited by Balthasar Corderius, Vienna 1630, in 4to, from which we have excerpted almost the entire first chapter of Genesis, according to the interpretations of Aquila, Symmachus, and Theodotion. Procopius on the Heptateuch.

In some places, the following authors were also of assistance to us: Justin's *Dialogue with Trypho*. Origen, by the most illustrious and learned Huet, and his *Philocalia* edited by Spencer. Cyprian, in the first book of *Testimonies to Quirinus*. Eusebius of Caesarea's *Demonstration of the Gospel*. John Chrysostom's *Homilies*. Augustine's works, several times. Chalcidius on Plato’s *Timaeus*. The Complutensian Edition. Often, indeed, the readings of the Roman edition and of Drusius.

(a) We have interspersed the readings of the Coislin codex with others, as was fitting in a new edition. Editor, Pata.

CHAPTER I OF GENESIS

THE HEBREW 1. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2. And the earth was a void and a waste, and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God [was] hovering over the face of the waters. 3.

Notes and various readings on Chapter I of Genesis.

^A We have transcribed the Hebrew words of this chapter into Greek, following the ancient method of reading as it was in the Hexapla, as far as was permitted, and indeed in most cases by conjecture. For fragments of such readings are not so frequent that anyone can attain the true and ancient manner of reading Hebrew in all things. Since, moreover, the Fathers and writers who expressed these Hebrew words in Greek do not agree among themselves, but one reads in one way and another in another. But this matter is discussed more fully in the Preliminaries, where, from all such fragments collected into one, we endeavor to reduce that ancient norm of reading to a certain method. For the rest, in the following sections we will present only those Hebrew words transcribed into Greek which rely on some authority, whether of the Fathers or of the codices.

In the version of the Hebrew text we follow Santes Pagninus and Arias Montanus in such a way that, if at any time it seems expedient, we do not hesitate to depart from them.

Furthermore, the ancient interpretations of this chapter we have taken almost entirely from Philoponus on the Hexaemeron.

V. 1. ^B *Bresith*. Thus writes Origen on Psalm 1. But in the Royal Codex 1825, which is a catena on the Heptateuch, it is read thus in the margin at the beginning, Hieronymus reads, *Bresith*. ^C Aquila translates *in capitulo*. The LXX interpreters, Hieronymus says, and Symmachus and Theodotion, translated *In principio*, which Aquila interprets *in capitulo*. It was read in the papers of Drusius, as he himself says; but Basilius, Philoponus, Ambrosius, and all the codices I have seen, have this: and this seems to be the true reading, as Drusius himself admits in his Additaments to Genesis. Hieronymus continues: Whence in the Psalter he says of himself: *In capitulo libri scriptum est de me*, that is, in the beginning of Genesis. Basilius in the Hexaemeron: *in capitulo* that is: That, "in the beginning He made," other interpreters, explaining it more clearly, translated thus, "in the chapter God made," that is, immediately and in a short time. Ambrosius, however, borrowed from Basilius, has it thus: Another, "in the head," by which is signified the completion of the sum of the work in a brief and short moment. ^D Other men, to whom I can easily accede, think that the word *Beresith* is rendered much better "in the beginning" than "in the chapter." Regarding this matter, Diodorus says beautifully in the Royal Codex: "That is: Since all the barbarians who lived in the time of Moses, and especially those who wished to philosophize, established that heaven and earth were the cause of all things that are placed in the midst, from which afterwards many Greek poets received occasions for impiety, it was worthwhile that Moses, in order to lead the Israelites as far as possible from their impiety, should make the beginning by the overturning of such a false principle. For since they acknowledged the works but were ignorant of the Maker, he himself says at the very beginning, 'In the beginning God made the heaven and the earth.' That, however, 'In the beginning God made the heaven and the earth,' clearly declares that the rest were also made afterwards. For unless the rest of the elements had also been made, as the first which he mentioned, it would have been superfluous—"

Notes and various readings on chap. I of Genesis.

V. 4. Here and throughout, Aquila frequently uses ^A *kai syneiden ho Theos*. Where Procopius says: "Aquila in his translation added the preposition *syn* to the word 'saw,' which in composition means 'with,' as if he were to say 'contuitus est' (looked upon/surveyed), 'conspexit' (gazed upon)."

V. 5. Thus the three interpreters, Aquila, Symmachus, and Theodotion, clinging with excessive scrupulosity to the Hebrew idiom; for the Hebrew stands thus: [Hebrew text], which is literally, "And God called to the light, day." Aquila has *hēmera*, others, *hēmeran*. Likewise below, v. 8, they translate ^B "and God called to the firmament, heaven." Where Aquila translates *ouranos*.

^A V. 9. These words, "and the water which is under the heaven was gathered into its gatherings, and the dry land appeared," which are read among the LXX, Basil teaches were marked with an obelus in more accurate copies, as they are not found in the Hebrew.

V. 16. Origen in *Philocalia*, Spencer p. 44, and in *Genesis*, Huet p. 15, reads "for the authority of the day."

V. 29. In the published works of Theodoret, *Quaest. in Genes.* 51, he reads "sowing seed," or "minans semen" (threatening seed). Drusius in the *Additaments* reads "σπειρόμεν" (being sown), erroneously: and he doubts whether another version might have been taken from a different edition of Aquila; for Aquila published two versions. I think it is a variant reading of the same version. Yet which is the true reading is uncertain; certainly, that which is offered by Theodoret is not to be disregarded.

V. 30. S. "Every green herb." The Seventy, "and every green herb." Procopius notes that the conjunction "and" is redundant in the Seventy Interpreters, and is not held in the version of Symmachus. And indeed, it is found neither in the Hebrew nor in other interpreters, with the exception of the LXX.

^B Notes and varying readings on chapter II of Genesis. V. 1. A. and S., “the heavens.” Coislin. V. 2. “In the sixth day,” *die sexto*. Jerome, *Quaest. in Genes.*: “For ‘in the sixth day,’ the Hebrew has ‘the seventh day.’” We restrain, therefore, the Jews who boast of the leisure of the Sabbath, because already then, in the beginning, the Sabbath was dissolved, while God was working on the Sabbath. Others think it is said far better that “he finished” is put there for “he had finished,” because the Hebrews use the same word for the perfect and the pluperfect: and they do not think that God worked on the Sabbath, which the following words also indicate: “and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had performed.” Coislin has in the margin, *hoi loipoi, te hebdomē*, “the rest, on the seventh [day].” Therefore the remaining interpreters translated according to the Hebrew, where the LXX placed “the sixth [day].” Ibid. A., “he left.” Coislin. V. 4. Aq. and Symmachus, “these are the generations.” We have borrowed this reading from the manuscript catenae and from the notes of Combefis. The Seventy Interpreters have it thus: “This is the book of the generations.” But concerning these words, a note of this kind is read in all the manuscript catenae that I have seen, without the name of an author, although Combefis says that it is borne in only one codex under the name of Origen: “The word *bīblos* (‘book’) does not exist at all in this place among the Hebrews; but [it crept in] through the error of a Hebrew scribe, who was misled by the error of that [passage] in which it lies: among Aquila, ‘This is the book of the generations of Adam’; but among the Seventy, ‘This is the book of the generations of men.’ ^C For he thought that the word ‘book’ had been omitted in this place as well, and thus he added it.” That is: The word *bīblos* does not exist in this place among the Hebrews; but it was added by a Hebrew scribe out of error, deceived by the similarity of that passage (Gen. v, 1) in which it lies: among Aquila indeed, “This is the book of the generations of Adam”; but among the LXX, “This is the book of the generation of men.” For he thought that the word “book” had been omitted in this place as well, and so he added it. By which words Origen indicates that the word *sēpher* had been brought into this place by a Hebrew scribe in certain exemplars. — A., “these are the generations,” Coislin. Likewise the note of Origen, which we placed above, attributes this version to Aquila alone. But the catenae all, which we have used, also attribute it to Symmachus. V. 6. A., “and an overflowing.” Others, “a gushing”; others, “an overflowing.” The Roman edition also varies, from which this… ^D

^A interpretation was taken. But both words signify the same thing—namely, a gushing, a spring, or a bursting forth of waters. Regarding these words, all the Royal manuscripts cite this from Eusebius of Emesa: “A certain Hebrew says that Moses does not mean: ‘A fountain was ascending from the earth,’ but rather a kind of mist or a dense, stagnant air, which he says exhales from the earth and covers its surface. Whether it was the moisture that produced this, or whether it was God ordaining it, I cannot say.” That is: *But a certain Hebrew says […]*

As to the seventh verse, according to the version of the three translators, we borrow it from Philoponus. Concerning this verse, the Colbert manuscript, number 1952, at the beginning of chapter 27 of Job, has this: “The other translators rendered it: ‘And he breathed into his nostrils the breath of life,’ where [the text] seems to have had regard for the sense rather than the words of each.” All the catenae cite this version from Origen. ^B The Coislin manuscript, opposite the word “Eden” in the margin, has: “that is, a partition or pleasure,” and it is accustomed in this way to place its meanings for each proper name in the margin, e.g., Pishon, “mouth of a girl”; Havilah, “she was in labor”; Gihon, “breast”; Ethiopia, “darkening”; Tigris, “robbery or humiliation”; V. 17, Adam, “earth-born,” or “man,” or “dust.” Cf. cap. 4, 1, Cain, “he emulates.” V. 2, Abel, “vapor,” or “mourning”; cap. 10, Shem, “heat”; ^C [the words] “extend, dilate.” And many similar things, which we have deliberately omitted because etymologies of this sort are published elsewhere, and are not accurate from other sources, nor of such great value.

V. 8. We have the version of Aquila from Basil and from the papers of Combefis; [those] of Symmachus and Theodotion from Jerome; [that] of the Syrian translator from the Royal manuscript 1888, where the passage is said to be of Eusebius of Emesa: it is thus, however, ^D that the Syrian has it written: “And God planted a paradise in…”

^A Edem.” He says, however, that the phrase “from the beginning” does not exist in the Hebrew. In truth it does exist in the Hebrew, but it is better translated *ab oriente*, from the east.

V. 14. Concerning the names of the rivers, Acacius has these things in the Royal catenae manuscripts. The names of the four rivers among the Hebrews are called thus: the first Phison, the second Gæon, the third Phorad, the fourth Eddekel. Among the Greeks, however, they are Ganges, Nile, Euphrates, Tigris.

V. 12. From Jerome and Drusius. Below, in chapter XXXIX of Exodus, verse 6, Aquila and Theodotion translate, *lapides onychinos* (onyx stones); Symmachus, *lapides onychas*; the LXX, *lapides smaragdi* (emerald stones).

V. 13. Origen in the Combefisian schedia. Ethiopia, which is called Chus in Hebrew, signifies darkness.

V. 14. ^B Sept. *ab oriente*.

V. 15. We have the passage from Jerome in *Quaest. Hebr.* in Genesis, where it is read thus: Symmachus indeed, who had translated the "flowering" (paradise) a little earlier, here placed *“in paradiso alses”* (in the paradise of the grove), which itself also means pleasantness and delights. Drusius holds the word to be suspect, and opines that one should read... if we were to hold all the words that do not exist in the Lexicons as suspect, it would be necessary in the Hexapla, and not only there but in all other books, to note many words as if they were doubtful. But to me it seems otherwise: *alsos* signifies a grove and a place planted with trees; hence *alse*, pleasantness, which word, like infinite others, remained unobserved in the Lexicons—for that one should read *tou alsous* (of the grove), all the editions of Jerome prevent; and otherwise Jerome would not have translated it as pleasantness or delights.

V. 17. The version of Symmachus in Greek is found in all the Royal catenae. But in this place, Jerome in *Quaest. Hebr.* has these things: “In whatsoever day however you shall eat of it, you shall die the death.” Symmachus translated it better by saying, “You shall be mortal.” Ambrose, *De paradiso*, c. 5, says that Symmachus spoke both in the singular. Ambrose refers to the LXX interpreters, who express this verse in the plural.

Ibid. Coislin., *thanatothe* (you shall die). Jerome and Ambrose attribute the former reading to Symmachus alone. But it is not infrequently observed that the note *oi loipoi* (the others) is used even when only one interpreter exhibits a certain version.

V. 18. Upon this passage, Anastasius in his sermon *in Hexaemeron*: Thus Anastasius, accusing Aquila of impiety in this place, whose sense is this: Similarly also that impious Aquila, thinking in the manner of the Gentiles and wishing to carp at God, instead of saying, “Let us make for the man a helper according to him,” rendered it: “Let us make for him a helper over against him”; that is, an adversary and an enemy. So much for him; but he is indeed unjust to Aquila: for the sense of that Greek version is, “Let us make for him a helper corresponding to him,” just as the Hebrew also sounds.

Ibid. *.A.*, *ws katenanti autou* (as over against him), Coislin. In the version of Aquila, *ws* (as) is missing, and indeed, I suppose, was omitted by the scribes; for it expresses the Hebrew. The version of Symmachus now appears for the first time from the Coislin.

V. 19. *.E.*, *zoa* (living creatures), as in the following, *.A.*, *.S.*, *zois* (living creatures), Coislin.

V. 21. On this passage, Hieron. *Quaest. Hebr.*

[173] For ecstasy, that is, a mental transport, the Hebrew has *THANDEMA*, which Aquila interprets as *cataphora* (down-sinking), Symmachus as *charon* (drowsiness), that is, a heavy and deep sleep. Drusius remarks: *charon*, that is, sleep; it properly signifies sleep with heaviness, but it is used for sleep simply, just as *tardema* is in the language of the Hebrews. Plutarch, in his *Life of Antony*, concerning Cleopatra, narrates that she found the bite of the asp, without convulsion, dragging into a heavy lethargy and deep sleep. The sense of the passage is: "And he found only the bite of the asp, bringing on a heavy drowsiness and deep sleep without convulsion." The manuscript *Coislinianus* notes: "A., et *enecl*., E. *sunexl*."

Another version says "sleep." We have this reading through the kindness of the most learned Jo. Ernesti Grabe. He himself obtained it from Anastasius, Book IX of his *Hexaemeron*, of which two manuscript copies exist, one in the episcopal library at Norwich, another at an Oxford college. Another is found in the Colbert library. The passage stands thus: For ecstasy, one interpreter says "deep sleep," another "heavy drowsiness," another "sleep." This last one, in my view, is without any doubt Theodotion's.

V. 12. Anastasius in Sermon 9 of his *Hexaemeron*: "After he had said: *And the Lord God built the side*, the great Clement, placing a full stop, and then beginning a new sentence, added the words: *which he had taken from Adam, into a woman*, and it seems to me that he understands the phrasing very piously. For indeed Theodotion also punctuated such a sentence in this way."

***

[174] Symmachus's interpretation is found in the manuscript chain on the passage which is said to be by Apollinarius. In Origen's *Commentary on Matthew*, the version of Theodotion is found, which says: *This shall be called woman/sumptio (taking)*. On this passage Jerome, in his *Hebrew Questions on Genesis*, says: "It does not seem to sound right in Greek and Latin why she should be called woman/mulier, because she was taken from man; but the etymology is preserved in the Hebrew language. For man is called *Is*, and woman *Issa*. Correctly, therefore, is she called *Issa* from *Is*." Whence Symmachus also beautifully wished to preserve the etymology in Greek, saying: *This shall be called andris, because she was taken from aner (man)*, which we can say in Latin: *This shall be called virago, because she was taken from vir (man)*. Furthermore, Theodotion suspected a different etymology, saying: *This shall be called sumptio (taking), because she was taken from man*. Indeed, *Issa*, according to the variety of the accent, can also be understood as *sumptio*. There are some who think that *proslema* should be substituted more conveniently, because Jerome translates it as *Assumptio*. But what prevented Jerome from translating *lemma* as *Assumptio*, when otherwise in the *Commentary on Matthew* of Genebrardus (p. 42), *Sumptio* is read? But what if we were to think it was written *nlepsis*? Theodorus Heracleotes seems to suggest this, for in the chains he has the following on this passage: *Epistemon*. It should also be noted that he speaks of the creation of the body and soul of Adam separately, but for the woman he speaks only of the taking of the rib. In the margin of the *Coislinianus*, *andris* is the first version, that of Theodotion; the second, *andris*, is Symmachus's, as can be seen above. We have therefore not wrongly guessed when we said that Theodotion's reading, which Jerome expressed in Latin as *assumptio*, ought to be *lepsis* in Greek. But in the *Coislinianus* version of Symmachus, *enandris* seems to be read, but the letters are a little erased.

Notes and various readings on Chapter III of Genesis. V. 1. The reading of Aquila, according to Theodoret and in the Royal Codex, is as follows, and likewise in the papers of Combefis: Jerome, *Quaestiones Hebraicae*, on this passage: For "wise" in the Hebrew there is *Arum*, which Aquila and Theodotion translated as "base" and "versatile." More therefore is depicted by this word of craftiness and guile than wisdom. Anastasius, in his *Hexaemeron* (mss.): "Symmachus and Aquila in that place said 'prudent,' 'crafty'." But it is asserted by many testimonies that Aquila had *panourgos* (crafty); and it seems that Symmachus alone translated it *panourgōteros* (craftier); and lest Anastasius separate them, he said the same of both, because there is little difference. The Vulgate interpreter follows Symmachus, who translates "craftier." A., *zōon*. Coislin. Ibid. Th., *pros ti*. Coislin. V. 5. Anastasius, as above: "They will see," "they will be perceived" is laid down. And at the verse: "Symmachus, for that 'they will be opened,' placed 'they will be rendered more prudent.'" And at verse 7: "Symmachus, 'they have been rendered more prudent,' that is, they have been made wiser, and the eyes of their soul have come into the knowledge of their own nakedness." V. 6. Thus the majority of mss. and the Roman edition notes. It seems to be the reading of the ancient interpreters, for it is consonant with the Hebrew and with the Vulgate. V. 7. Coislin. Th., *synetisthesan* (they were made prudent). Anastasius attributes this reading to Symmachus, as we have said, but perhaps it is of both.

Notes and various readings on Chapter III of Genesis

V. 8. Jerome: In most Latin codices, for that which we have placed here "at evening," "after midday" is found, because we cannot translate the Greek *deilinon* word for word: for which it is written in Hebrew, *LARVE AIOM*, which Aquila translated, "in the wind of the day." Symmachus, however, "through the spirit of the day." Moreover, Theodotio is obscure, "in the spirit for the cooling of the day," so that once the midday heat had passed, he might show the refreshment of the blowing breeze. V. 13. Thus Drusius from Augustinus Eugubinus Steuchus, who translates, "seduced me." Drusius prefers it to be translated, "incited," or "impelled me," or "persuaded me." But if you look at the sequence, rightly, if I am not mistaken, it is translated "seduced me." But what if we suspect that *apēgageto* (led away) should be read instead of *ēpageto*? V. 15. "Another, the heel will keep your head." So some manuscripts, and this seems to have been the reading of a certain ancient interpreter, whose name is passed over in silence, and whom the Vulgate follows. Jerome in *Quaestiones Hebraicae* confirms that it should be read so; but Augustine and almost all the other Fathers read "the same" (*ipsa*), as is noted in the Roman edition. V. 16. Jerome, *Quaest. in Genes.*: For "turning," Aquila translated "society," Symmachus "appetite" or "impulse," having translated the Greek word *apostrophē*, as if it were Aquila's, and (previously) having used some recent one, as if suspicious and asserted by the testimony of no ancients. Ibid. Coislin. Ibid. Coislin. A. Σ (Symmachus), *synapheia*, impulse. The first reading is Aquila's; the second is Symmachus's. V. 17. These readings of Symmachus and Theodotio are brought forward from the same Coislinian manuscript. The remaining readings are from the Coislinian.

Notes and various readings on Genesis Chapter IV

That interpretation is true which Theodotion posits: "And God inflamed [or, set fire to] regarding Abel and his sacrifice; but regarding Cain and his sacrifice, he did not inflame."

Coislin.: And for the third reading of Aquila: The former was "he was called away," which Drusius wished to restore by conjecture as "he was enticed." But the reading of the Coislinian codex seems more sincere, "he was inclined." Regarding Theodotion, I think "he inflamed" is better said than "he set fire to."

V. 5. We have this version of Aquila from Theodoret. Drusius had read it wrongly, as he himself...

from the Montpellier codex. Furthermore, in the same papers, a little later, it is added: ^B "One must know that the blessed Cyril said this to have been spoken by God: to Cain, 'You have sinned, be quiet,' but to Abel, 'Toward you is his turning, and you shall rule over him.' He puts these in the Glaphyra." V. 8. Upon these words, a scholion: ^C Among none of the others do the words of Cain to Abel exist; not even among the Hebrews. But they say they are in an apocryphal book. They are found among the LXX, and the Samaritan also has them. But other codices from Origen state: ^D "In the Hebrew, the statement 'Let us go out into the field' is not found." Aquila, however, presents it; since the Hebrews say that this lies in an apocryphal book, as it is had among the LXX. We considered it necessary to place these locations, noteworthy because of some unknown person and Origen, which we excerpted from our manuscripts, in the series, so that it may be immediately detected whence that "Let us go out into the field," which Aquila and the LXX expressed, comes. It must be observed, however, that the former note is circulated under the name of Cyril by Nobilius and Drusius; but incorrectly, as Combefis warns in the aforementioned papers: "Ex Regiis codicibus and the Mazarini codex (so he says), the Sixtine edition has it under the name of Cyril, although Cyril does not have it." Because perhaps Nobilius found in the catena, subject to such things as the upper scholion, to which even the name of Cyril itself is not well inscribed. Furthermore, in the note brought forward under the name of Cyril by Nobilius and Drusius, that "in an apocryphal book they say" is missing. However, these two scholia warn that the words brought forward earlier, which do not exist in the Hebrew, were taken from an apocryphal book by the Seventy Interpreters and by Aquila, and that the Hebrews themselves acknowledge them in a certain apocryphal book. But what sort of apocryphal book this might be is unknown. Jerome, *Questions in Genesis*: "And Cain said to Abel his brother," is understood [to mean] those things which the Lord spoke. It is therefore superfluous what is found in the Samaritan and our volume. Nobilius notes those same words are had in the Jerusalem Targum, which is at Rome. V. 12. Royal Catena: ^A "The Hebrew and the Syrian, the swaying and unstable, that is, not remaining in one place." But the Roman edition in the place of [Greek text], has [Greek text], and others, and likewise Theodoret, who says: "trembling, or according to other interpreters, being unstable." Hence Drusius suspects these other interpreters to be Aquila, Symmachus, and Theodotion: which I also could easily believe. For the scholiasts and Theodoret, whenever they say "the others," or "the remainder," point to these interpreters. Procopius in *Genesis* supports this opinion: "The Hebrew truth," he says, "has, as I learned from other interpreters, 'You will be mobile and unstable, not remaining with firm dwelling in one place, but roving and..."

^A a wanderer upon the earth. Truly this exposition is true and is received by all Catholics. Nor does it seem doubtful that these interpreters are Aquila, Symmachus, and Theodotion. Jerome, *Quaest. in Gen.*: "That which the LXX translated 'Naid' is called 'NOD' in Hebrew, and is interpreted *salevómenos*, that is, fluctuating and unstable, and of uncertain seat." Therefore, this reading seems to be not only that of the Hebrews and Syrians, as the Royal Chains report, but also that of other interpreters.

V. 15. The Greek words of the three interpreters, brought forward by someone recently, we have enclosed in brackets, because we find them nowhere. Regarding this place, Jerome, *Quaest. in Genes.*: "Everyone who kills Cain shall pay sevenfold vengeances." For "sevenfold vengeances," Aquila interpreted "sevenfold"; Symmachus, "seventh"; Theodotion, "by the week." Concerning which chapter our epistle to Damasus exists. In the epistle to Damasus, however, it has: VAIONER LO ADONAI LOCHEN CHOL OREG CAIN SOBATHAIM LOCCAMO. Aquila: "And the Lord said, Therefore everyone who kills Cain will be punished sevenfold." Symmachus: "And the Lord said to him: Not so, but everyone who kills Cain, the week, or the seventh, will avenge." The Septuagint and Theodotion: "And the Lord said to him: Not so, but everyone who kills Cain will pay sevenfold vengeances." See the rest there. Procopius in *Genes.*, p. 86: "Some interpret this passage more properly, saying: it behooves Cain to be punished seven times ^B for the parricide committed; Aquila rendered it thus: 'Seven times.' But Symmachus translated it thus: 'He will suffer punishment seven times,' which some have understood thus: in seven generations he pays the penalty. Truly the Hebrew places a period after the word 'killing'."

V. 24. These things are taken from Procopius, whose words are these, p. 90: "But I do not delay, whether you receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit, or the seven personages of the fathers, those seven. Theodoret assents to that opinion, ^C transferring the present passage: 'He will be avenged by sevenfold.' Symmachus translated it thus: 'The seventh will pay the penalty.' Accordingly, perhaps Lamech was the seventh who inflicted punishments."

V. 25. Here this verse exists in Latin in Jerome in *Quaest. ad Genesim*. We have composed the Greek from the Latin, because it seems it could not be read any other way. We have enclosed it in brackets, however, lest anyone think it excerpted from elsewhere.

V. 26. Thus all the Royal Chains, and likewise the Combelisian sheets, bring forth the place of Aquila. Drusius read: *Aq., then he began to call upon the name of the Lord.* The published [editions] of Theodoret [read]: *Aq., then he began to be called by the name of the Lord.* All the mss. of the Chains possess the version from the Hebrew under the name of Eusebius of Emesa, whose whole passage it is pleasant to bring forward: "In the Hebrew it does not say so; but, 'This one hoped to be called by the name of the Lord God,' that is, to be called the Son of God and God. For those from Seth became just. Whence the Scripture, following itself, after these things says: 'And the sons of God saw the daughters of men,' that is, the just. For there was no mixing of the sons of Seth and the progeny of Cain." The rest: "It is not so in the Hebrew; but, 'He hoped to be called by the name of the Lord God,' that is, the Son of God and God is spoken of. For those who drew their origin from Seth were just. Wherefore the Scripture, consistent with itself, afterwards says: 'And the sons of God saw the daughters of men,' that is, the just. For there was truly no commingling between the sons of Seth and the progeny of Cain." Jerome presents another interpretation in *Quaest. in Gen.*: "Enos, according to the propriety of the Hebrew tongue, is called 'man' or 'husband,' and beautifully, because he had this name, it was written of him: 'Then there was a beginning of invoking the name of the Lord': although most of the Hebrews think otherwise, that then for the first time, in the name of the Lord and in his likeness, idols were fashioned."

V. 2. We have dug out the full passage of Aquila and Symmachus from the Combefis ^B manuscripts and from the manuscript catenae.

Hieronymus:

V. 3. Thus the Roman edition, Drusius, and the manuscript catenae. In one manuscript, however, the place of Symmachus is read thus: "My spirit shall not judge these men as eternal."

Hieronymus in Quaest. in Genes.:

V. 4. Our Martianus has published the readings of the interpreters thus. Drusius on this place: "Those falling upon," that is, invaders. For ^C even denotes rushing, as there [in the Hebrew], "he rushes with his mighty ones." The place is elsewhere in David. In the Roman edition, this last is Symmachus’s. It follows, however, in the same place, Symmachus, "The violent ones, the forceful ones." Which is equally suspect to me. "Violent ones."

Hieronymus:

V. 6. All the manuscript catenae have the full passage of Aquila, as we have published it, from Diodorus of Tarsus. In the Roman edition and in Drusius, only the first word was read, A. "And he repented." Symmachus, ^D...

"And he turned back," that is, he repented, which interpretation Onkelos follows. V. 7. Thus it is in the Roman edition and in our codices.

V. 9. We have these from the excellent manuscript Royal codex, no. 1871, which contains the Heptateuch and other books of Scripture. In the Roman edition, the readings of Aquila and Symmachus were presented as if they were scholia, with the names of the interpreters left silent. Jerome seems to note the reading of Symmachus when he says, *Quæst. in Gen.*: "With God walked Noe," that is, he followed his footsteps.

V. 13. Thus the Roman edition and Drusius have it.

V. 14. We likewise borrow this from the Roman edition. But there are three interpretations which follow the version of the LXX Interpreters, which undoubtedly pertain to the three interpreters, Aquila, Symmachus, and Theodotion, such that one had *ἐκ ξύλων ἀσήπτων*, "from incorruptible woods"; another, *ἐκ ξύλων κεδρίνων*, "from cedar woods"—and thus Onkelos and Jonathan translate; and finally another, *ἐκ ξύλων πυξίνων*, "from box woods." The Hebrew, however, according to Procopius, has: "From boards connected in a square shape." Another reading: *ἐπὶ πλακῶν πυξίνων* (on boxwood planks). Thus the mss. and printed editions. It seems, however, to be the reading of Theodotion.

Ibid. Symmachus: *καλιὰς ποιήσεις*. Both the manuscript chains and the Roman edition render the reading of Symmachus thus. Concerning this place, the scholiast of the Roman edition has this: *τὰς εἰς νεοττοτροφίαν ἐπιτηδείως ἐχούσας καταλύσεις*, that is, "neatly adorned lodging-places suitable for nourishing chicks." The interpreter Procopius has it thus on p. 97: "Symmachus calls [them] huts."

Ibid. Aquila: *ἀλοιφήσεις ἀλοιφῇ*. In the Royal codex 1871, of excellent quality, it is read as *ἀλοιφώσεις*, as if from *ἀλοιφόω*, which reading is not to be spurned. We have copied the reading of Symmachus from the same Royal codex 1871. He would have had *ἵλασει ἱλαστηρίῳ*, "you will propitiate with propitiation"; but the scribe of the Royal codex omitted the first word.

V. 16. The passage comes from the Roman edition. Here Jerome, *Quæst. Hebr.*: "For that which is, 'collecting, you shall make the ark,' in the Hebrew it is held: 'you shall make the meridian of the ark'; which Symmachus has interpreted more clearly, saying *διαφανές*, that is, 'you shall make the ark diaphanous,' wishing the window to be understood. Procopius, however, has it thus: 'First God commanded Noah that he should prepare a door on the slanting side of the ark.' Theodotion translated 'a door'; but Aquila translated 'an opening or window or valve or some sort of aperture.'"

Ibid. Thus the manuscript chains and the Combefisiana fragments have the full passage of Symmachus. Here it is fitting to bring forward the passage of Origen concerning the form of the ark, because not yet, as far as I know, has it been edited in Greek: *Ζητητέον ποταπὸν, etc.* It is Origen's homily 2 on Genesis, which see in volume II of our edition of his works, col. 461. EDIT. PATR.

V. 19. Thus it is held in the Roman edition.

Notes and various readings on Chapter VII of Genesis. V. 4. Thus some codices, *every resurrection*, with the interpreter passed over in silence. V. 11. This passage of Aquila and Symmachus appears from the Roman edition and from Drusius. V. 14. *Pteroton* (winged). Thus the Royal Codex 1871, without indicating the name of the interpreter. V. 15. Regarding this verse, Augustine in *Locut.*, no. 20 says: It is not referred to, "in which," unless you understand "kind," that is, in which kind. For if we were to understand "in flesh," it should have been "in which" (*in qua*): which the interpreter Symmachus said alone. Drusius adds, so that you may understand this, it should be known that in the edition of the LXX it is found: *from all flesh in which is the spirit of life*.

"In every flesh, in which," etc., and the construction is consistent in sense, though not in word; for the word "flesh" signifies either man or animal, to which "in which" is to be referred. This is not new or unusual in these books. We have reconstructed the Greek of Symmachus from the Latin ones, so that everyone may see [it] without danger. But we have enclosed the same Greek words of Symmachus in brackets, according to custom.

Verses 20 and 24 come both from the Roman edition and from Drusius. Augustine, *Questions on Genesis*, book 1, question 2: "The water was exalted upon the earth 150 days." Aquila: "It prevailed." Symmachus: "The waters prevailed." V. 22. "Others, all that were." So some manuscripts, with the interpreters left unstated.

Notes and various readings to chapter VIII of Genesis. V. 4. This reading of Aquila and Symmachus comes from the margin of the Royal Codex 1871. Ibid. A., and they were closed, etc. This is from the Roman edition and from Drusius. V. 2. A., and they were closed. Thus the Royal Codex 1871, of excellent note, which we judge should be preferred to the Roman scholiast who has [a different reading], if the editors have read correctly. Since *emphrattō* occurs very frequently in the Greek Bibles, *ephrattō* nowhere. On this passage Jerome, *Quaest. in Gen.*: Instead of "revealed fountains," all the translators have rendered "closed and stopped up." V. 4. Thus the aforementioned Royal Codex. But the LXX translators here and in IV Kings xix, 47, where the word *Ararat* occurs, rendered it "Ararat." V. 6. Another, the door. Thus the MSS, but it seems to be Theodotion’s as above. V. 7. The MSS catenae and the Combefisian sheets derive this version of the Syrians and Hebrews from Didymus, who has it thus: that is, the Syrian does not have a reading similar to the Greek; for it says, "He returned," as the Hebrew. Therefore the Greek edition of the LXX and the Vulgate have the negative particle: "He went out and did not return," which is neither in the present-day Hebrew nor existed in the Hebrew and Syrian in Didymus' time. Regarding the Hebrew and Syrian we have spoken in the note to chap. v, verse 7. V. 11. Branch. This reading comes from the aforementioned Royal Codex 1871, which [belonged to] Francis I.

Wherefore, upon the shedding of their blood, the soul of them perishes at the same time: but it is not fitting, he says, for anyone to eat a soul."

V. 9. "Another," [Greek]. Drusius suspects this to be the interpretation of Symmachus, because he [Symmachus], at Gen. VI, 4, translates [Hebrew] as [Greek]. But at Num. XXXIII, the same Symmachus translates [Hebrew] as [Greek].

V. 14. "Another," whence he went forth from there, the Philistines. So certain manuscripts and the Complutensian edition. I suspect, however, it to be the version of Symmachus.

From Diodorus, who has it thus in all the manuscript catenae: "...most fitting." That is: *The Hebrew and the Syrian: And the lime was for them for mortar*, which fits very well, for bitumen is useless for building, whereas lime is very appropriate. However, the scholion of the Roman edition of Diodorus disagrees with this sentiment: *The Syrian and the Hebrew call bitumen lime.* Certain teachers said it was lime, presumably because they were ignorant of those [bitumen] springs in Assyria.

Notes and various readings on Chapter XII of Genesis. V. 6. We add the version of Symmachus, which is cited without the name of the interpreter by Drusius, from Coislin. The word *ews* is missing in Coislin, but it is restored from another reading. V. 8. The Roman edition has the first version of Aquila; but Coislin has the second, as well as both of Symmachus. Arias Montanus had not translated *p-m* [Moreh] so aptly; he removed himself. Regarding the expression of the Seventy, *en atōlatais* [towards the east], which corresponds to the Hebrew *p-m*, the Coislinian notes: "that is, towards the south," which appears to be a scholion.

Notes and variant readings to Gen. cap. XI. Some have said they were, not knowing, as it seems, those springs which are in Assyria, that is, the springs of bitumen. There the Roman editor has wrongly interpreted these words; and some doctors have said the bitumen was unquenchable. On this matter see Theodoret, *Quaestiones in Gen.* Of whose work it is said there are also those things in the catenae which have already been brought forward. V. 6. A. [Aquila], they shall be considered. S. [Symmachus], whatever they shall devise. From the Coislin codex. In this verse it is read, without the name of the interpreter, thus as Drusius reports. But that appears corrupt. But the Coislin codex exhibits the true readings. V. 7, 9. Aquila’s readings, from the Coislin codex.

Notes and variant readings to Gen. cap. XII. Ibid. These readings, which seem to be Aquila’s and Symmachus’s, are brought forward by Drusius. That the sea is taken for the West is a commonplace in the sacred books: because, to be sure, the Mediterranean Sea is to the west of Palestine. V. 9 and 10. Thus in Drusius. For *ebarynen* (he weighed down), the Coislin codex has *ebarynthon* (he was weighed down). More correctly. V. 17. A. [Aquila], he touched, he afflicted with plagues. Thus the Coislin codex. But this version of Aquila is mutilated, and the word *ebasanisen* (afflicted) seems to have been added for the sake of explanation.

V. 1 and 3. Σ., [Greek: εἰς τὸν νότον]. From the Coislin manuscript. V. 5. This Hebrew reading [Greek: βαρὺς σφόδρα] comes from Jerome, [italic]Quaest. in Gen.[/italic] "Beautifully," he says, "it is said that he ascended having been liberated from Egypt." But there occurs to this sense that which follows: how could he, going out from Egypt, have been very wealthy? Which is solved by that Hebrew truth, in which it is written: "Abram was very heavy," that is, [Greek: βαρὺς σφόδρα]. V. 5. O', [Greek: βόες καὶ σκηναί]. Thus the Roman edition and also the most ancient biblical codices. Others, [Greek: βόες καὶ κτήνη]. It is doubtful, however, whether this latter reading belongs to some ancient interpreter. In both interpretations, however, [Greek: ἄμνος], a sheep or beast, is omitted. V. 6. Not a few manuscript codices and the Complutensian edition prefer this reading. And it is that of some ancient interpreter.

Notes and Various Readings to Genesis Chapter XIV.

V. 1. Symmachus, ^A *king of Pontus*. We follow Procopius, who has as follows: Symmachus interpreted Ellasar as Pontus, Elam as the Scythians, and Goiim as Pamphylia. In the Roman edition and in Drusius these are confused: for at the first verse it is placed: A., *king of Pontus*. S., *of the Scythians*; but these correspond to the Hebrew word *Ellasar*, and at the ninth, S., *of the Scythians*. A scholiast [notes that] these [latter] correspond to the word *Goiim*, nations. But who would believe that Symmachus called two distinct nations by one and the same name in the same chapter? Therefore we prefer to follow the reading of Procopius. I think, therefore, that in the first verse *A.* was substituted for *S.*, namely Aquila for Symmachus, as frequently happens. But in this case, we have restored the true reading not by conjecture, but by the authority of Procopius; which certainly no one will disapprove.

V. 3. Here we follow the Roman edition and Jerome, who says in *Quaest. in Gen.*: SEDDIM, Aquila [translates] *of the slime-pits* (πεμπεινῶν), Theodotion [translates] *of the groves* (τῶν ἁλσῶν), signifying «pleasant woods». Our Martianaeus attributes this latter reading equally to Symmachus and Theodotion. See above on verse 15 of chapter 11. Here the conjecture of Drusius should not be omitted. *Alsōn*, he says, [is for] *the old interpreter*, «into the wooded valley». *Ton peripedinōn* can be rendered as «of those who inhabit the flat lands or fields or the plain». Furthermore, in the Roman edition it is written *peripedinōn*, with the accent on the penult, [as in] supra, 15, *seddim*. Symm., «In a paradise of the grove». See what we have written on that passage. One would like to speculate: what if it were *halōn*, that is, *of the salt*? Indeed, the Chaldean [reads] *the valley of the salt*. Let us consider further. The Coislinian ms. has: A., *slimy*, S., *of the woods*. By which it is proven that the latter reading, which we had attributed to Symm. and Theodot. without scruple, really belongs to Symm. But the Coisl. does not mention Theod.

V. 5. A., *Raph.* Thus the Roman edition and Drusius. But Buxtorf thinks this is the name of a certain nation. Elsewhere, it is used for the dead. The meaning of this word has been discussed strangely. See Robertson’s *Thesaurus* under the word *REPH*. ^B Ibid. A., *Emmæans*. So some mss.: and the Complutensian edition reads thus. The Coisl. [has] *the rest*, *Scythians*.

V. 6. O. *As far as the Terebinth*. The Combefisian leaves have an old scholion on these words: «As far as the Terebinth. This is the city of Job on the Batanea. Thus are called two villages. They are distant from one another by nine signs, that is, miles, between the city of Adara and the city of Amida.» This scholion seems to be by Origen or Eusebius of Caesarea. Hence Hesychius [says]: *Terebinthos*, Terebinth, city of Job.

V. 9. We have restored this verse just as the first of this chapter from Procopius. In the Roman edition and in Drusius it was read incorrectly. S., *Scythians*. Schol., *Pamphylia*. Schol., *Pontus*. Drusius suspects a fault there. See above at the first verse. — Coislin. S., *Scythians*, where the LXX [has] *Elam*, which reading is noted not only here in the same codex, but also in verse 4, where the same names are had: by which our reading is confirmed.

V. 15. S., *one of those who had escaped*, we borrow this reading from the Roman edition.

Ibid. A famous passage debated by the ancients and moderns alike. In the handwritten catenae these passages are brought forward concerning the word *peratēs*. From Origen: «Abraham is called *Peratēs* (the one from beyond), since from the land of the Chaldeans... ^C

having crossed Mesopotamia, he came into the regions of the Canaanites.» Aquila interprets this as *Hebræus* (Hebrew). That is: Abraham is called a "transitor," because having traversed the region of the Chaldeans and Mesopotamia, he came into the parts of the Canaanites. Aquila interprets it as *Hebræus*. From Gennadius: «They used to call him *Peratēs* because he crossed the middle of the rivers in order to come to them. And *Peratēs* in the Syrian tongue is pronounced *Hebræus*. Whence also his entire race, having been formed from him, received this designation.» That is: They called him by the name "Transitor," because having crossed Mesopotamia, he had passed over to them; and *Peratēs*, in the Syrian tongue, is called *Hebræus*; whence the whole race descending from him received that denomination. From Acacius: «"And he announced, he says, to Abram the *Peratēs*." Here the gentilic name, derived from the ancestor of Abram—I speak of Heber—is set forth as a translation. As if, instead of "Abram the *Hebræus*," it were said "Abram the *Peratēs*," for *Hebræus* is translated as *Peratēs*.» That is: «And he announced, he says, to Abram the transitor.» The gentilic name here, derived from the great-great-grandfather of Abram, namely from Heber, is explained; indeed, for "Abram the Hebrew," it says "Abram the transitor," for *Hebræus* signifies "transitor." From Diodorus: «Moses, having narrated the events beyond the Jordan—that is, the war which the Persians fought against the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah—then calls Abraham *Peratēs*, as if he were one dwelling beyond the Jordan. For he adds: "But he himself dwelt by the oak of Mambre," showing why he is now called *Peratēs*.» That is: Moses, narrating events that happened beyond the Jordan—that is, the war of the Persians against the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah—then calls Abraham *Peratēs*, as one who dwelt beyond the Jordan. For he adds: «He himself, however, dwelt by the oak of Mambre,» declaring why he is now called *Peratēs*. From Theodoret: «But some say that the Hebrew language is so named from Heber. For they say he alone remained in the former tongue, and that from thence the Hebrews were named, after the patriarch Abraham came from the land of the Chaldeans into Palestine, having crossed the river Euphrates. For *Ebra* in the Syrian tongue is translated as *Peratēs*.» That is: But some say that the Hebrew language is named from Heber, and that he alone preserved the ancient tongue, and from this they were called Hebrews, because the patriarch Abraham came from the region of the Chaldeans to Palestine, having crossed the river Euphrates; for *Ebra* in the Syrian tongue signifies "transitor." Here you see that the ancient interpreters of the Bible have gone off into various opinions. Nor is there less variety of opinion among the more recent and modern authors; some deriving the word 79 from 23, "to cross," and saying that Abraham was called a Hebrew because he moved his seat when the Euphrates was crossed; others, however, deriving the denomination from Heber, the great-great-grandfather of Abraham. I would more willingly accede to this last opinion. The Roman edition has the reading of Aquila thus: *peratē*. Origen says above that Aquila has *hedraios*. Perhaps it may be said that the first edition of Aquila had one thing, the second another; for there were two editions of Aquila. V. 18. This verse we have extracted in his own words from Jerome, with the Latin reading of the Hebrew words, to whose authority we have harmonized the Greek. Moreover, it is found in the *Epistula ad Evang.*, vol. II, p. 572, ed. Martianay. V. 21 et 23. We borrow from the Roman edition and from Drusius. V. 23. A..., to ip. A certain scholion, from some ancient interpreter: *sphyrotēra*, or else *sphairotēra*, he says, is the strap of the shoe. That is, "the thong of the shoe." Coislinian, however, reads: [Sigma], *himantos*.

Notes and various readings on Chapter XV of Genesis. V. 2. A., "I go childless." S., "I go." And again S., "the kinsman," etc. Thus the Coislin codex. Ibid. A., "the son," etc. This reading is produced both by the Roman edition and by the manuscripts. But the manuscript Catenae and the Combefis fragments have this on this passage: "And the son giving my house to drink, this is Damascus Eliezer." The one who is "the kinsman of my house" is this Damascus Eliezer. And the one who is... ^C The son of Masek, born in my house, is this Damascus. This is what some have interpreted. Id est: Thus some have interpreted: "The son of Masek, born in my house, this is Damascus Eliezer." Where Masek is said to be the name of a woman, born in the house of Abraham, and the mother of Eliezer. Where you should note that Diodorus likewise, just as Gelasius, brings forward this same interpretation in the manuscript Catenae. But one or the other of these interpretations appears to be Symmachus'. Yet the latter appears more accurate. Jerome, in his *Questions on Genesis*, explains the whole passage thus: "But what he says, 'I shall die childless, and the son of my procurator or steward, who dispenses and distributes food to my whole family, is called Damas-"

Notes and various readings on chapter XVIII of Genesis. V. 6. From Drusius and from the Roman Edition. Aquila translates the same word *sara* ([original-script column: see facsimile]) similarly in 1 Kings xxv, 18. ^C The Coislinian manuscript attributes this reading *sara* to the Seventy, which belongs to Aquila and Symmachus, and had been transferred from A. and S. into the LXX, as often happens. Here, however, the Coislinian manuscript notes in the margin: "Subcineritious bread was called that which was placed under the ash and cooked hidden." V. 12. There is a scholion of this kind in the Royal manuscript on this passage: *But Abraham spoke prayerfully at the word: To the one hundred-year-old shall a son be born; that is, Yes, Lord, may a son be born to me in old age. AQUILA. Postquam attrita sum, fuerunt mihi delicia.* (Id est: After I was worn out, I had delights.) Symmachus: *After I have aged, I have become young again; that is, from then on at the time of autumn; because Sarah was reproved for having laughed at the word of the Lord. But Abraham, in the manner of one praying, said to Him: Shall a son be born to a centenarian? That is, also, Lord, may there be a son for me in old age.* ^D Concerning this passage, Jerome in *Quaestiones in Genesim*: "But Sarah laughed within herself, saying: It has not yet happened to me until now, and my lord is old." It is read much differently in the Hebrew: "And Sarah laughed within herself, saying: After I was worn out, and..."

Symmachus translated this passage thus: "After I have grown old with age, my youth has returned to me." A., "against her." Coislin. has "against her." V. 18. A., "bony." S., "strong." Thus in the Roman edition. Where you note the word *otzinon*, I have frequently translated it "bony": some manuscripts, and those of excellent note, sometimes have *ostoinon*. Concerning which matter, see the beginning of Exodus. V. 18. A., S., "they were weighed down." Thus in the notes of the Roman edition. Coisl. has A., "they were weighed down," which reading is also attributed to Symmachus by others. V. 21. S., "they finished the work." Thus in the notes of the Roman edition. V. 25. S., "not thine." Ibid. S., "all," etc., Coislin. Which reading certainly seems to deviate from the Hebrew. But Symmachus translates it not infrequently in a paraphrastic manner. V. 26. *Another*, "if I find," etc. Some manuscripts bring forward this version, without mentioning the interpreter's name; I suspect it is Symmachus. The Vulgate indeed follows it. V. 30. A., "Let not the Lord be angry." This version is brought forward as a scholion in the Roman edition. But it is Aquila's, as is noted in one manuscript, and is confirmed by a similar version above at chapter 4, v. 6.

In another place, Scripture calls this Zagora. The Syrian calls it Zaari and Bala, that is, ‘the swallowing.’ Hence some say that those from Segor were not destroyed, but swallowed up. For it was necessary for the city to stand for the sake of Lot, but for those [inhabitants of the surrounding region] to be destroyed. Therefore, Lot also took his sustenance from this [city] while in the mountain. And the Hebrew says it in some such way, *until the swallowing*, regarding Segor. This agrees with the daring act of the daughters of Lot, as if no one were left over even from Segor. For surely he would not have

V. 2. The reading of Aquila is taken from Procopius, p. 141. The Vulgate, which has, *And he said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister*, is favored by the LXX Interpretes, and the sequence as is evident. Furthermore, [the Hebrew] is well translated, *upon Sarah*, or, *concerning Sarah*. V. 4. Origen teaches that the word *ignorant* (ἀγνοοῦν) is marked with an obelus in these words: that is: It is not to be ignored that this word, *ignorant*, was marked with an obelus, as that which does not exist in the Hebrews.

Segor for Lot’s sake. Scripture calls this Zogora elsewhere. The Syrian, however, calls it Zaari and Bala; that is, "absorbing." Therefore, some say that the people of Segor were not overthrown, but absorbed. For it was right that the city itself should stand for the sake of Lot, but that they should be taken from the midst. Wherefore Lot, dwelling in the mountain, borrowed food from it. The Hebrew, however, has it roughly thus: "Unto the absorbing," speaking of Segor. That daring act of Lot’s daughters provides proof of this fact, as if no one were left alive in the city of Segor at that time. For Lot could not have been ignorant of the things that were being done there. Thus it is found in certain catenae and in the papers of Combefis. Almost similar things are present, though they seem more genuine, in the King’s catena no. 1888, under the name of Eusebius of Emesa, namely: ^B "That is: When he had heard this: 'For your sake it will not be overthrown.' Therefore some say that the inhabitants of Segor were not overthrown, but absorbed, and therefore the city was called Bala, that is, 'absorbed.' But Scripture calls it Zogora elsewhere. The Syrian, however, [calls it] Zaari and Bala." That daring act of Lot’s daughters provides proof of this fact, as if no one, not even in the city of Segor, were then surviving; for Lot could not have been ignorant of the things that were being done there. V. 28. Thus Jerome: "And behold, a flame went up from the earth like the vapor of a furnace;" for which we read in the Hebrew: "Behold, a flame went up from the earth" *ITOR* "as of a furnace," which we can call vapor or smoke or ash. V. 31. We borrow this reading of Aquila from Procopius.

^C ...etc., is noted in the margin in the Coislinian [manuscript]: "This is compared to that which is above in the interpretation of Aquila: 'And Abraham said to Sara his wife: She is my sister.'" For it appears from these words that he said it to her, and not about her. V. 16. We have excerpted the same reading of Aquila which the LXX Interpreters present, from the Royal codex, "which are with you." The Vulgate, however, has "which are with you." The Hebrew words can be adapted to either explanation, for they do not express the masculine more than the feminine.

Thus Drusius and the Roman edition. But we have this same word [original-script column: see facsimile] below in 1 Kings xxxi, 31, with the version of all the interpreters. Indeed, Aquila, "a plantation of trees," an arboretum; Symmachus, "a plant," a tree; Theodotion, "a bushy-place."

CHAPTER XXII GENESIS.

^C *Notes and various readings on Chapter XXII.* V. 1. LXX. ἐδῶξασεν (he glorified). Perhaps it is a corruption for ἐδοκίμασεν (he tested, proved, or tempted): for both the series and the word [original-script column: see facsimile] require this. Jud. iii, 1. Symmachus, ἀσκῆσαι, "to test." V. 2. Thus the Roman Edition. The interpreters explain the word [original-script column: see facsimile] in Ps. xxv, 16. Aquila, "Solitary"; Symmachus, "unique"; LXX, "only begotten." And Proverbs iv, 3. Aquila, Theodotion, Symmachus, "only begotten." Thus they vary in the same word here as elsewhere. Ibid. Jerome on the phrase, "Go into the high land." He says, it is difficult to translate the idiom of the Hebrew language into the Latin tongue. Where it is now said, "Go into the high land," in the Hebrew it has MORIA, which Aquila translated ^A into "the conspicuous land," that is, the clear place. Symmachus, "of vision," that is, Visionis. The Hebrews therefore say this is the mountain on which the temple was later built in the area of Ornan the Jebusite. Eucherius however says thus: In the first book of Kings, where the Greeks have "land of vision," the Hebrew has "land of Moria." V. 13. Thus all the mss. and Combefisius from Eusebius Emisenus, whose words these are... That is: "That which [is] detained by [its] horns," the Syrian and the Hebrew say "suspended." Coislin. 13. Aquila: "In the thicket." 13. Hebrew, "detained in a perplexity by its horns." Aquila, "in the thicket by its horns." Symmachus, "detained in a snare by its horns." LXX, "which was held in the thicket Sabec by its horns." Vulgate, "between the thorns sticking by its horns." A more sincere and complete reading is shown here by A. and S., which agrees with Jerome: for he placed "in the thicket," so as to ^D adapt Aquila's reading to his own sequence, as

it appears at the beginning, that it should proceed as Aquila's "plantation" and Symmachus's "plantation." Those who transcribed it, thinking it labored under a defect, have placed "of trees [den-dron] plantation [phyteian]."

Notes and various readings on Chapter XXII of Genesis

Ibid. On this passage, Jerome, *Questions on Genesis*: "And lifting up his eyes, Abraham saw, and behold, a ram behind him caught in a thicket [Sabech] by its horns." Eusebius of Emesa says a ridiculous thing in this place: "Sabech," he says, "is called a goat, which is raised up with straight horns and for browsing on the leaves of a tree." Aquila again translated it *syxgneon*, which we can call a briar or a thorn-thicket, and to interpret the force of the word, a dense and mutually intertwined thicket. Whence Symmachus also was led into the same opinion: "And there appeared," he says, "a ram behind him held fast by its horns." But to some, in this place alone, the LXX and Theodotion seem to have interpreted better, who placed the name "Sabech" itself, saying: "In the thicket [Sabech] by its horns." For *syxgneon*, or a net, which Aquila and Symmachus used, is written with the letter *sin*; here, however, the letter *SAMECH* is placed; from which it is manifest that the word *Sabech* does not sound the interpretation of dense stalks and thickets woven together after the manner of a net, but the name of a thicket, which is called so in Hebrew. But I, inquiring diligently, have often found *syxneona* written with the letter *SAMECH*. In the Plantin edition of Jerome, it is read [as thicket]; many Greek manuscripts have [it]. Diodorus says this into these words in all the catenae: "The Syrian does not have 'In the thicket,' but only 'Sabek.'" This, however, I judge to be the name of the thicket. The Hebrews think that *Sabek* signifies "remission"; this last meaning of *Sabek* among the Hebrews is mentioned by other interpreters in the catenae.

Manuscript codices have here: *Some say the Syrian and the Hebrew do not have it this way, but [referring] to the prolific instrument.* The Hebrew [uses the word for] on the loins. Ibid. 77. When it is understood of an animal member, *mēros* or femur signifies [the thigh]. Another translates *osphun*, the loins. But Diodorus in the catenae brings forward another version, in these words: That is: *Some say the Syrian and the Hebrew do not have it so; namely, "Put your hand under my thigh"; but "under the prolific instrument itself": because the blessing of succession looked toward increasing and multiplying.* Chrysostom, Homily 44: "Under my thigh," and in the Hebrew they say "under the loins." V. 11. ^B 'A., *egonatisen* (he made them kneel). Thus the Coislin codex, Drusius, the Roman edition, and all the manuscripts exhibit the same interpretation, but without the name of the interpreter. V. 14. Σ., *apedeixas* (you showed). Thus the Coislinianus; and indeed correctly; namely, which you showed to your servant Isaac. The word *hiphil*, occurs in this sense elsewhere. V. 15. In a certain Colbert codex, these words are marked with an obelus, because they are not expressly in the Hebrew, although they may be understood, so that that servant of Abraham did not speak these things with his mouth, but only in his mind; as both the LXX and the Vulgate interpreter seem to have understood. V. 22. *Beka* is commonly understood as half a shekel. Below in Exod. xxxvii it is read *didrachmon*, and thus Jerome reads it here, who has it thus in his *Quaestiones on Genesis*: "And the man took a golden earring, the weight of a didrachma." *Beka*, which is written in this place for didrachma, is a half-ounce: but the *Secel*, which in the Latin tongue is corruptly called a *siclus* (shekel), has the weight of an ounce. V. 31. The Coislin codex in the text has *eulogētos Kyrios*.

Notes and various readings for ch. XXIV of Genesis. And he brings forward this note: "Blessed be the Lord," he did not say to the servant of Abraham. Aquila, then, says, "Blessed be the Lord"; Symmachus, however, "Blessed be the Lord." Here, indeed, I suspect it should be read as Symmachus, "Blessed be the Lord [of the servant]." But here the pages are torn, so that the final syllables are ripped away. V. 52. Coislin., ἀπέστρωση. The name of the interpreter has fallen out; but it is undoubtedly Aquila's or Symmachus's. V. 43. These are from Jerome on Isaiah, who has it as follows: "And in Genesis we read, where Rebecca is called *alma*, that Aquila translated it not 'young woman' nor 'maiden,' but 'hidden thing.' ^B However, in the *Questions on Genesis*: 'It should be noted that the word *alma* is never written except of a virgin, and it has the etymology *apokryphos*, that is, "hidden." And below: "Therefore *alma*, which is interpreted as 'hidden,' that is, a virgin guarded with excessive diligence, seems to me to be of greater praise than 'virgin.' A virgin, indeed, according to the Apostle, can be so in body but not in spirit; but a 'hidden one,' who is a virgin, has the tension of virginity." See more on this matter there in Isaiah.' V. 50. All the Royal catenae and the Combesis papers have the Syriac version, as it is related here. One codex omits the *to*. V. 59. Thus the Roman edition and Drusius, and likewise the Coislin manuscripts, 'A., the nurse.' We borrow verse 61 likewise from the Roman edition. Manuscript catenae also have it, but without the name of the interpreters. V. 63. Thus the Roman edition and one Royal codex. *Homilesai, lalein, adoleschesai*. Thus the interpreters always translate. Jerome, *Questions on Genesis*: 'But what it says: "And Isaac went out to exercise himself in the field," which is said in Greek *adolechesai*, in Hebrew it reads: "And Isaac went out to speak in the field, while evening was already approaching."' V. 67. The LXX. *Pareklēthē*. This reading is presented by the Roman edition without the name of the interpreter; but the Coislin codex shows that it is Symmachus's.

Ibid. The Roman scholiast, *pros tous peratas*, to the transitors. This scholion in no way concerns the LXX version. Wherefore it seems altogether to be the version of some interpreter, perhaps Aquila, who above translated *peraten*. Here, however, for *‘ibri* (Hebrew), he perhaps read *‘ober*, which transposition of letters is frequently observed in the Hexapla; and from thence often arises a variety of interpretations, as you may not unfrequently observe below. See what we have said regarding this in the preface.

V. 22. Our Martianaeus has the reading of Aquila thus: *Sed Coislin., A., synethlasthesan hoi huioi.* The Roman edition prefers the version of Symmachus thus, *diepalaion*, and Jerome thus *diepleon*; but Jerome is to be heard: "And her children moved within her." For "motion," the LXX interpreters placed *eskirton*, that is, "they were playing," or "they were kicking": which Aquila translated, "and the children were being broken within her womb." But Symmachus *diepleon*, that is, in the likeness of a ship they were being carried on the surface. Here [col. 248] V. 22. ...minaribus.

V. 10. A., S., *plemmeles*. Thus the Roman edition. The interpreters very frequently translate the word *‘asham* as *plemmeleia* (fault) or *plemmeleian*. Where the Coislin has *agnoian* (ignorance) in the text, it notes *plemmeleia* in the margin. The Hebrew word is A., S., *plemmeleia* above in the text.

V. 12. We borrow the passage from Jerome, who has it thus: "And Isaac sowed in that land, and found in that year a hundredfold of barley." Although Isaac sowed in a foreign land, yet I do not think that he had such abundance of barley. Wherefore I think it better as it is in the Hebrew, which Aquila also translated: "And he found in that year a hundredfold estimated"; that is, *hekaton eikasmenon*. For though by the same letters *eikasmos* (estimation) and barley are written; yet estimations are read *sa‘arin*, but barleys *sorim*.

V. 20. "Another, *edikasant* (they contended)." Thus the Roman edition. Moreover, this reading seems to be of Aquila, who is accustomed to translate the word *rib* by *dikazein* or *hyperdikazein*, thus Job x, 2, and xxx, 13. — A., *sykophantia* (slander), and to the following word, S., *esykophanthesan* (they slandered). Thus the Coislin, but there is no doubt that Aquila also, if he translated *‘osheq* as *sykophantia*, translated the following word *hit‘ashequ* as *esykophanthesan*. Ibid. A., *esykophanthesan*. From the Coislin.

V. 21. Thus Martianaeus. On this place Jerome, *Quaest. in Genes.*: For "enmities," which Aquila and Symmachus translated *ten antikeimenen kai enantiosin*, that is, "adverse and contrary," the Hebrew has SATANA. From which we understand that Satana represents "contrary."

Notes and various readings on Chapter XXV of Genesis

It is conspicuous that Jerome read *diepleon*. In some Greek codices *diepalaion* is found, which word fits this place supremely well. Perhaps in a corrupted copy Jerome read *diepleon* instead of *diepalaion*. *Coislin. A.*: "the children struggled together." This is the true reading, and not that other, "the children were torn asunder," which we have enclosed in brackets as suspect and produced from Jerome’s Latin. The same *Coislin.* has *diepalaion*, which confirms what I said above, namely, that it is likely Jerome used a corrupted copy and set down *diepleon*. V. 27. *Coislin. A., Θ.*: *aplous* ("simple"). In the Roman edition this version is ascribed to Aquila alone, and Symmachus’s reading is expressed thus: *amomos* ("blameless"). V. 30. *apo tou Edom*. Thus all the Royal mss. and the Combef. fragments, with this distinct scholion: "Symmachus put Edom instead of 'cooking,' which is interpreted 'red'." In the Roman edition, *apo tou Adam* was read for Symmachus.

V. 26. *A., Σ.*: the companion. Thus *Coislin.* V. 50. "Another, a drinking." "Another, a banquet." These readings come from *Coislin.* V. 51. The others, "with peace." By the same. V. 53. Thus Martianus edited two readings of this verse. On this verse Jerome says: "What kind of etymology is it that it is called an oath because they did not find water? On the contrary, in the Hebrew, to which translation Aquila and Symmachus consent, it signifies that they did find water; and therefore the well itself was called 'satiety,' and the city was called BERSABER, that is, the well of satiety." V. 35. We borrow the interpretation of the Syrians and Hebrews from Eusebius in all the mss. catenae, where it reads thus: "But not pleasing, instead of 'doing everything with strife and contention.' For the Syrian and the Hebrew have *parorgizousai*, that is, 'provoking to anger'." This is a little perplexing; for he seems to attribute two interpretations to the Syrian. But Procopius has it more clearly: "And they contended with Rebecca," etc. The Syrian has, "they displeased Rebecca"; the Hebrew, "they did not cease to irritate and provoke Rebecca to anger." That [reading] of the Coislinian, *machomenai*, is either a scholion or exhibits the translations of the three interpreters. Ibid. *Erizousai* (striving). In the margin of *Coislin.*, *machomenai* (fighting), *filoneikousai* (contentious), *anthistamenai* (opposing).

Notes and various readings on Chapter XXVIII of Genesis. It was called Ualam Luz, on account of the vision of Jacob that took place there, it was named Bethel. LXX: "Ualam Luz was the name of the city." Aquila: "Before, Luz was the name of the city." Hebrew: "Ualam Luz sem air." It is to be known that Ualam has been rendered by Aquila as "before." He himself expressly calls the city Luz later on. Jerome on this place: "Behold, it is most clearly proven that Bethel was not Ulam Luz, but Luzam, that is, the almond tree, as it was called before." See there, *Questions on Genesis*. - Coislin. A., Σ., Aouza. I would believe, however, that Aquila, a scrupulous interpreter, wrote Aoúz, as other manuscripts have. V. 21. A., Σ., in peace.

V. 8. On these words Jerome, *Quaest. in Gen.*: "The cause of the name 'Nephthalim' is explained here much differently than it is written in the book of Hebrew names. Whence also Aquila says, for that which is written in Hebrew: *NEPTHULE ELOIM NEPTHALETHEI*. Whence from conversion, or from comparison, because both signify 'confusion' or 'comparison,' he imposed the name Nephthalim."

V. 11. Jerome continues on this verse: "Where we have placed, 'In fortune,' and it is said in Greek, 'in fortune' (*en tychē*), which can be called an event, it has *BAGAD* in Hebrew, which Aquila interprets, 'The equipping comes': but we can say, 'In readiness' (*in procinctu*). For *BA* can signify the preposition 'in,' and 'comes.' Therefore, from the event or readiness, which is called *GAD*, the son of Zelpha, he was called Gad." Drusius thinks Jerome's conjecture cannot stand, since in *BAGAD* it is written with a *Kamets*. But how weak these Massoretic vowel points are for asserting any readings whatsoever, we have said in our *Preliminaries*, and it will be frequently observed in the following. I would say that it is more likely that the *B* is not taken for *BA*, 'comes': 1st, because Hebrews are not accustomed to suppress an *aleph* in this verb; 2nd, because as a conjunction in place of a preposition it squares better with the sense, and signifies 'in fortune,' or 'happily.' In the Massoretic Bibles, however, it is written in the margin *BAGAD*.

Ibid. A., *en euthia* (*ἐν εὐθείᾳ*). Thus Coislin, who also adds the interpretation of Symmachus. Aquila’s reading seems preferable; *hē zōsis* (*ἡ ζῶσις*), as is confirmed by Jerome, who says that Aquila translated it, 'The equipping comes.' Coislin codex.

NOTES AND VARIOUS READINGS ON CHAPTER XXX OF GENESIS

V. 28. A., *name*. LXX Interpreters render this word *qara* five times by *onomazo*, and once by *eponomazo*. These readings come from the Roman edition and from Drusius.

V. 32. Others, *variegated*, *perspon*. Whose are these interpretations which the Roman scholiast and one of our codices adduces is unknown. *Naqod*, variegated, they also render thus in this chapter and the next. Theodotian renders this word in the plural in Ezech. xvi, 16, and Josue ix, 5; another interpreter without a name, *emblesmata* (patches); *epiblēmata* (coverings) having. See there.

V. 33. S., *white-footed*. The Roman edition *laio-podas*, without the name of an interpreter, which is as if you were to say *sinistripedes*. I suspect it is a mistake.

V. 37. Thus one codex, but, as I suspect, erroneously; for I believe that *leukon* (white) looks to the word *sâqod*. Coislin. in its margin has *tote epi tōn skutalōn* (then upon the rods): whether this be a scholium, or the version of some interpreter, I do not sufficiently understand.

Ibid. Roman Edition. *Amygdalinan*. I have restored from the Coislin. the word *nu-cinam* (nut-like), which the LXX render *karyon* (nut), others interpret *amygdalon* (almond).

V. 38. S., *as they were coming*, etc. Thus the Coislin.

V. 42. Coislin. S., *when she was late-bearing*, etc. Ibid. Roman Edition. A., *opsima*. S., *deuterogona* (second-born), but that *opsima* is attributed to Symmachus in the Coislin. where this reading of Symmachus is repeated: and from another source, he who came above seems here to have translated *opsima*, for these are opposites.

CHAPTER XXXI OF GENESIS

^A V. 7. Regarding this verse, we have full and various readings from manuscripts, where the version of the Syrian interpreter is cited from Eusebius of Emesa and Diodorus, and likewise from Aquila and Symmachus. In the same place there exists a notable passage from Origen, which reads thus: “Aquila said ‘ten numbers’; Symmachus, ‘ten times by count.’” He said, therefore, says the Hebrew, that Laban made agreements with Jacob ten times, because the things born in Jacob’s name were very numerous, and he envied him; which the two editions indicated: “And you have falsified my wages by ten lambs.” Yet it contains no total of lambs which he agreed to give me; nowhere does it appear that he agreed to them; but it is evident from what he himself says. For just as he does not introduce Lamech killing someone, but being sought after, as is evident from the interpretation and the occurrence: so also here. Often, therefore, Scripture, which did not explain the matter at the time of the action, makes it known ^B through someone providing an interpretation. That is to say: Aquila said, “ten numbers”; Symmachus, “ten times by count.” He was saying, therefore, as the Hebrew says, ten times Laban violated the agreements made with Jacob: because those things which were being produced in Jacob’s name were very many, so that he was moved by envy: which the two editions declare: “And you have deceived my wages by ten lambs.” But there was no mention of the lambs which he promised to give, nor does it appear that he ever promised these things; but it is manifest from his words. For just as Scripture never narrated that Lamech killed someone; but on him being sought after later, it clearly stated it: so also in this place. For the most part, therefore, Scripture, which does not narrate matters during the review of events, is accustomed to declare them later by referring to another ^C source.

Coislin. A., S., “you have falsified me, you have deceived me, and you have wronged me contrary to the agreements.” Where that phrase, “you have deceived me,” etc., is a scholion added for the sake of explanation, that is, “He deceived me, and treated me injuriously contrary to the terms.” Then the note of Origen is brought forward, which we have edited above, and indeed more fully than it is cited in the Coislinian manuscript.

V. 18. Another, “possession of possession,” etc. Thus the Coislinian, without the name of the interpreter, who seems to be Aquila. ^D

Notes and various readings on Genesis Chapter XXXI

V. 19. “Another, he went.” Thus the Coislinianum. Ibid. Thus the four interpreters almost always translate this word, as it is set forth for each. The Coislinianum has: [reading], which latter reading is also attributed to Theodotion in the text. V. 24. “Another, harsh.” From the Coislinianum. V. 26. “Another, why did you hide yourself, etc.” From the same. V. 30. We extract this interpretation of the three from the manuscripts. V. 35. In the Coislinianum, these words “and he searched the house of Jacob, and in the house of the two maidservants, and” are marked with asterisks. V. 39. “Torn by a wild beast.” The Combefisian leaves bring this reading. V. 41. The reading of the two editions is deduced from the place of Origen, just now cited. The Coislinianum has it thus: “A.,” which version is attributed to Symmachus at verse [41] in all other mss., where it reads: “my wages by ten times the number,” but the version attributed to Symmachus reads: “And you have defrauded me, and changed my wages by ten times the number.” ^B V. 44. In the Coislinianum these words, “And he said to him, Behold there is no one with us; behold, God is witness between me and you,” have obelisks, as they are not in the Hebrew. ^C V. 47. In these words which the Coislinianum has thus with asterisks: “And Laban called it Swreuma, the mount of testimony, but Jacob called it, the mount of witness,” the same Coislinianum brings this mark without the name of the author, but it seems to be Origen’s: “The Hebrews have a beautiful observation, because Laban indeed called it in Syriac itself, but Jacob in Hebrew. Wherefore it is interpreted in a twofold manner according to a small change; for the Hebrew was saying that Jacob called the mound ‘mound of witness’ in Hebrew, and Laban in Syriac, which could not be spoken in two ways in Greek; the Seventy, constrained, have in a small change signified the same meaning. For it differs not at all ‘mound of testimony’ or ‘mound of witness.’” ^D

The subsequent words, moreover, are marked with obeli in the Coislinian manuscript, inasmuch as the [greater part of them] do not exist in the Hebrew: namely, he said …

Notes and various readings on Genesis Chapter XXXII

V. 7. "Another, *distressing to him.* From the Coislinian." V. 10. "The reading of Aquila must be restored here necessarily. The interpreter of Procopius had read wrongly, *emakrynthen* (I am made distant), which he translates, 'I am made elongated.' But what does that have to do with the Hebrew word *qatoneti*, which always signifies, 'I am less,' or 'I am small'? 'Another, *hikanoumai moi* (I am rendered sufficient for me):' in the papers of Combefisius, it is read *hikanoute moi*, 'you are sufficient for me.'" V. 20. "Another, *if perhaps.* Thus the Roman edition." V. 22. "Another, *Iaboch.* So the mss. The Alexandrian ms. [has] *Iaboch*; the Roman edition, however, [has] *Iabox*." "Regarding the word *Iaboch*, these manuscripts have [this] from Origen: '*Iaboch* is a river of Arabia, which is now called *Iambyches*.' Combefisius reads *Iamblan...*." V. 24. "The reading of Aquila and Symmachus is thus in all mss. and the Roman edition. — *Ekonizeto aner* (A man was wrestled/fashioned). [Coislinian in the margin, where the name of the interpreter seems to have been erased]." V. 28. "These are taken from Jerome, who has this in his *Questions on Genesis*: 'Thy name shall be called Israel, because thou hast been strong with God.' Josephus, in the first book of the *Antiquities*, thinks Israel was so named because he stood against the Angel. Which I, diligently examining, could by no means find in the Hebrew."

Regarding at least a part that does not exist in the Hebrew: namely, "And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this mound, and this pillar which I have set between me and thee; this mound bears witness, and this pillar bears witness."

Notes and various readings for Genesis chapter XXXII.

What need is there for me to seek the opinions of individuals, when the one who imposed the name himself explains its etymology? "Thy name," he says, "shall not be called Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name." Wherefore Aquila translates: *thou hast ruled with God*; Symmachus: *thou hast prevailed with strength against God*; Theodotion: *thou hast been strong with God*. For *SARITH*, which is derived from the name Israel, signifies a prince. See the rest there.

V. 29. To these words, "And this is wonderful," which are read in the Septuagint Interpreters, the manuscripts add: "And this is wonderful." This is not found in anyone in the Hexapla. That is to say: *And this is wonderful* is possessed by none in the Hexapla. It is likewise absent from the Hebrew text.

V. 30. Thus our manuscripts and the Roman edition. Symmachus and the Vulgate have *Phanuel*; and yet the Hebrew has *Phaniel* or *Phaniel*. But whether you say *Phaniel* or *Phanuel*, says Abenmelech, is of no importance. For the letters *E* and *I* are interchanged among themselves. These last things are from Drusius.

V. 51. *Another [rendering], he was rolling*. One King's manuscript has this reading, but to which of the interpreters it belongs is unknown. The Coislin manuscript, on that which the Septuagint has, *he halted*, notes in the margin: *he limped*, *he inclined in the foot*, which appears to be a scholion.

In Greek, the transmutation of these words does not appear so easy; in Hebrew it is otherwise; for in the word [Original script: see facsimile], if one changes [Original script: see facsimile] into [Original script: see facsimile], which is not infrequently found to happen, as will be observed later, you get Horræus, or Chorræus. V. 12.

On this passage Jerome says: The Hebrew word CHABRATHA, in the subsequent verses, where Jacob speaks to Joseph: "But I, when I was coming from Mesopotamia of Syria, thy mother Rachel died in the land of Chanaan, in the way of the Hippodrome [or: in the way of the fertile land/the meadow], in order to come to Ephrata": I do not know what they mean by "Hippodrome," which the Seventy Interpreters translated as: And immediately there, where it is said in Hebrew, "And they buried her in the way of Ephrata, this is Bethlehem," again the Seventy...

V. 22. S., they will be persuaded. Thus Regius 1871.

V. 25. "Another: Confidently." Thus the Regius manuscripts. But Jerome in *Quaestiones*: "For that which is read in Greek *asphalōs*, that is, 'diligently,' in the Hebrew is written BETE, that is, 'boldly and confidently.' That word *bete*, the LXX also translate as *pepoithōs*—[see] Jeremiah 32:16 and 57, and Zechariah 14:11." V. 30. "Another: In short." Thus two manuscripts, which do not indicate whose interpretation this is.

But Aquila translated this thus: "And it happened in the way of the land," that is, in the journey of the land, entering into Ephrata, etc. These are from Jerome. Therefore the whole passage of Aquila appeared to be expressed in Greek thus: "And it happened in the way of the land, entering into Ephrata." Ibid. "Another: In coming." Thus Codex Reg. 1871. V. 18. Quinta: son of the right hand. From Procopius. V. 19.

This aforementioned is in the traditions of others. Where Ambrose here and elsewhere uses "traditions" for "editions."

V. 19. Thus in the manuscripts and the Roman edition. V. 24. This passage, of which only a few words previously existed, even those broken, we find in its fullness according to all editions, in the three Regal Catenas and in the papers of Combefis, with the following notes: The first says thus: "The Syrian and the Hebrew mean [i]iamin[/i] by 'water,' as if to say: 'He found a fountain in the desert.' But the translators have used the very Hebrew word." The second note, which is Diodorus', says thus: "The Syrian says he found a fountain, for a fountain in the Syrian tongue is called 'Anan.'" Here Diodorus confuses the name of the inventor with the name of the thing found, as the following scholiast notes. The third note is this: Everything is found instead of "water," nor instead of "fountain" is there "Ainan." But according to Theodoret, it should not be "Ainan" that is said, but rather "Iamin." For indeed, Enau found Iamin, not Jamin Enan. That is: Everywhere in Hebrew, water is called "ammaim," but a fountain "mocor"; for in the thirty-fifth Psalm, at that verse, "With thee is the fountain of life," it is read in Hebrew: "mocor aium." Nor therefore did I find "iamin" for water, nor "Euan" for a fountain, according to Diodorus. Regarding the same matter, Jerome should be heard: Many and various things are disputed among the Hebrews concerning this chapter; indeed, among the Greeks and our own, there is silence upon this. Others think "Aiamim" are called "seas." For they are written with the same letters as "seas" are written, in which way this speech is now described. And they wish that he, while pasturing the donkeys of his father in the desert, found congregations of waters, which, according to the idiom of the Hebrew language, are called "seas"; which is to say, he found a pond, the discovery of which is difficult in the desert. Some think [it means] hot springs, due to the proximity of the Punic tongue...

V. 2. *Another*, of the concubines, a skin. This reading proceeds from the Royal Codex 1871, without the name of the interpreter, who called the skins concubines, so as to distinguish them from the wives Leah and Rachel. Ibid. *A.*, and he brought, etc. Thus our manuscripts and the Roman edition. One codex in the reading of Aquila has *brought* for *brought back*. On these words Diodorus in the manuscript *Catenae*: “that is: Joseph slandered his brethren to their father, as if they were not acting properly: whence he was hated by them.” V. 3. *A.*, a tunic, etc. Jerome in *Quaestiones*: For “a tunic of various colors,” Aquila interpreted it as “the tunic *astragaleion*,” that is, a tunic reaching to the ankles. Symmachus, “a tunic with sleeves,” whether because it descended to the ankles, and was of wondrous variety in the hands of the craftsman, or because it had sleeves. For the ancients made use rather of tunics without sleeves. In II Kings xiii, 18, Aquila translates the same Hebrew word, with the LXX, Symmachus, and another: “a tunic with sleeves,” “reaching to the ankles.” Thus the Royal manuscripts 1871. V. 9. *Another*, I dreamed. *Another*, the peace of thy brethren, and the peace of the flocks. One Royal [manuscript] for this last word has “of the sheep.” But this reading ^B

[Notes and various readings on chapter XXXVIII of Genesis] V. 5. We have this passage of Aquila only in Latin, in Jerome, who has it as follows in his *Quaestiones*: "And she added and bore a son, and called his name Sela; and this one was in Chasbi, when she bore him." The Hebrew word here was put for the name of a place, which Aquila translated according to the thing, saying: "And she called his name Selom; and it happened that she lied in the birth, after she had borne him." For after she had borne Sela, her birth-giving ceased. Therefore, Chasbi is not the name of a place, but a lie: whence it is also written in another place: "The work of the olive shall lie," that is, it shall not produce the fruit of the olive. V. 9. "Another": *He corrupted* (διέφθειρες). One Royal codex provides this reading without the name of the interpreter, which fits better with the Hebrew word. V. 14. *A veil* (θέριστρον). Regarding this reading, Drusius [says]: *Theristrum* is read in Genesis XXIV. Jerome in his *Quaestiones*: "Theristrum," he says, "is called a cloak: it is a kind of garment even now used in the Arab provinces by which women veil themselves. It is also called *theristron*." Suidas: "*Theristron* and *theristrion*, a summer garment," etc. Elsewhere Jerome in *Isaiah*: "We can call *theristra* mantles, such as women in Arabia and Mesopotamia cover themselves with even today: from the fact that it protects the bodies of women in *theros*, that is, in swelter and heat." The other reading is *spathariskon*, which the Roman edition and two Royal manuscripts have, one of which has *spathariskon*. However, what this signifies here, we do not yet have sufficiently clearly discerned. This word *spathariskon*, indeed, was taken for a small sword in the middle and lower ages; but here it is clearly an ornament for a woman. V. 17. "Another": *From the flocks*. So the non-supplemented codices [have it], but they do not indicate whose interpretation this is. Jerome follows this reading, who translates, *from the*...

V. 1. *Ax.*, the cupbearer of the king of Egypt and the cook. Drusius on this passage: "Cupbearer or *pincerna*, he who is also at the cups." Jerome, *Questions*: Where we have placed "chief of the cupbearers," in the Hebrew it is written *MASEK* [Drus. *משקה*]... whom we can perhaps call a *pincerna* in the common tongue. Nor should the office be considered lowly, since among barbarian kings even to this day it is of the greatest dignity to have offered the cup. *Pessōn*, according to Drusius, is to be translated as "cook," that is, a boiler. A cook and a baker, says Festus, were considered by the ancients to be the same. ^A

on account of the interpreter. We have taken from the Coislin manuscript the version of Symmachus, *diakrinōn* [distinguishing]. Ibid. A.[quila], *epilysis* [solution]. S.[ymmachus], *diakrisis* [discernment]. From the same Coislin codex. V. 10. A. S., *klēmatides* [vine-shoots]. Thus the Royal manuscripts and Drusius. *Klēmatides* are flagella [shoots] or sarmienta [cuttings], according to Jerome. He says it signifies three shoots and three branches or propagines [slips] in the Hebrew language, which are called by them SARICIM. Here we translate it more aptly as branches. Ibid. A. S., *blastōsa* [sprouting]. Thus the Coislin. Aquila, in Psalm LXX, 7, translates the same Hebrew word as *blastō* or *blastaō*. See there. V. 16. Thus all the manuscripts. Drusius had read *korinon*, but the sequence demands the accusative, as the codices have it. *Gyreōs*, of pollen or flour. The interpretation of Aquila is plain; but Drusius hesitates regarding the reading of Symmachus, and leaves its meaning in uncertainty. Such is [the phrase] *tria kana baīna*. We translate it: three baskets of palm leaves. Which interpretation is upheld by more than one example. For in the *Apophthegmata Patrum*, *baīnē rhados*, a palm branch, occurs not once; and it is thus in number 6 and 38.

^A. The reading ^A *stereμnioi sarki* is true to Aquila, and not *stereōma*, as the Coislinian codex presents; for it can by no means fit here.

Ibid. ^B Aquila, Symmachus: *en tō ekei*. From the same. Jerome in this place, *Quaest. in Genesim*: "Twice in Genesis is *ACHI* written; and it is neither Greek speech nor Latin. But the Hebrew itself is also corrupt; for it is said, *in* [Hebrew text omitted], that is, *in the swamp*. But because the letter *vav* among the Hebrews, and *yod*, are similar, and differ only in size; instead of *AHU*, *ACHI*, the LXX translators rendered—and according to their custom for expressing a double aspiration, *NETH*, the Hebrew letter *ch*, they joined a Greek letter." The author of Ecclesiastes also uses the word *Achos* for a swamp: XL, 16. Nor should the scholion of our codices be omitted: "Achos is the thin and weedy little plant," *Achos* is a tenet herbaceusque frutex.

V. 5. Aquila, Symmachus: *kalamō*. Thus Coislin.

V. 6. Aquila: *epharménoi kausōni*. The same.

Ibid. Another: *pephrygmenoi anemō*. Without the name of the interpreter in all our codices, as also in Drusius. But I do not doubt it to be Symmachus'. For Exod. x, 15, Aquila and Symmachus translate the word [Hebrew text omitted] twice as *kausōnia*; but in Job XXXVIII, 24, Symmachus translates [Hebrew text omitted] as *anemos*, as it is also read here.

V. 8. Another: *katenaph*. Drusius suspects that this reading of the Roman edition, *katenaph*, is corrupt, and thinks it ought to be read *katēphorei*. But *katenaph* fits perfectly in this place, from *kataneirō*, "I transfix," and it harmonizes with the other interpretations.

Ibid. Aquila: *kruphiastās* etc. Thus the Roman edition. Aquila also translates *kruphiastēs* in Exod. ix, 11. But Symmachus, who here had translated it *magous*, translated [it] there...

V. 12. Others add, etc. Thus our manuscripts, which, being omitted by the LXX interpreters, supply it from some other version.

V. 46. The readings of Aquila and Symmachus come forth in Latin from the version of Procopius: we have harmonized the Greek to its faith; but we have included them in brackets, lest anyone think we had drawn them from elsewhere.

V. 22. Aquila, Symmachus: *kalamō*. Thus Coislin.

V. 24. Aquila: *pros tous kruphiastās*. Symmachus: *magous*. Regarding these interpretations, see what we have said concerning verse 8. Theodotion: *sophistais*. From Coislin.

V. 51. Aquila, Symmachus: *barus*. Coislin.

Ibid. Another: *sphodros*. Thus our codices; but they do not indicate whose reading this is.

V. 32. Aquila: *etoimon to rhēma*. Symmachus: *bebaios ho logos*. Thus Coislin. In our other codices and in the Roman edition, the interpreters are silent.

V. 54. Symmachus: *episkopous*. From Coislin.

V. 35. Another: *panta ta gennēmata*. One codex has *gennēmata*. The reading is of an uncertain interpreter.

V. 56. Aquila: *eis parathēkēn*. Thus the LXX interpreters translate the same word in Leviticus vi, 2, 4. (The Hebrew is found in one Royal codex and Drusius.)

Ibid. Aquila: *kai ouk olothreuthēsetai*. From Coislin.

V. 40. Symmachus: *meizōn sou esomai*. Thus three Royal codices, of which only one puts forward the name of the interpreter.

V. 42. Aquila, Symmachus: *ton maniakēn*. Thus Coislin.

V. 43. Aquila: *kai edēsen* etc. Our Martianaeus presents the Greek; the Latin we borrow from Jerome. But ^C...

^A regarding *Martianaeus'* pro-progny, which seems to have been made from the Latin, we have restored *gonatizein* [to kneel] from the Coislinian codex. Perhaps it is better to say *adgeniculationem* [knee-bending], to match the version of Jerome; or as Origen’s note, which we are about to present, suggests.

In this passage, Origen in all the royal catenae says: "The Hebrew has ABRECH; which properly signifies 'tender father.' For as he was tender in age, he showed himself, as it were, a father of a saving principle to the Egyptians. But the word signifies nothing else than 'to bend the knees'; for the voice of the herald is clear." ^B Explicating this, Jerome has it in his *Quaestiones*: "Aquila translated: 'And he cried out in his presence: a knee-bending.' Symmachus, interpreting the Hebrew word itself, says: 'And he cried out before him: ABRECH.' Whence it seems to me that it is not so much a herald or knee-bending, which can be understood as Joseph being greeted or adored, that is to be understood, as that which the Hebrews hand down, saying that it is 'tender father' and that he is translated by this word; for *AB* is called 'father,' and *RECH*, 'delicate' or 'very tender': the Scripture signifying that according to his prudence he was a father to all, but according to his age, a very tender youth and boy."

V. 44. A., "No one shall lift up." From the Coislinian.

V. 45. All these interpretations exist in the three royal manuscripts. But on this passage Jerome says in his *Quaestiones*: "And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Saphaneth Phanee, and gave him Aseneth the daughter of Putiphar, priest of Heliopolis, as his wife." Although this name in Hebrew denotes "a discoverer of hidden things," nevertheless, because it is placed in Egyptian, it ought to have the rationale of that language. Therefore, it is interpreted in the Egyptian tongue SAPHANETH PHANEE; or, as the Septuagint wished to translate it, "Psomthom-Phanech," that is, "Savior of the world," because he delivered the orb of the earth from imminent ruin by famine. ^C It must be noted, however, that he took as his wife the daughter of his former master, who was at that time the high priest of Heliopolis. For it is not lawful for there to be priests of that idol without them being eunuchs, so that that true suspicion of the Hebrews regarding what I already said is confirmed. This last point about Putiphar is explained thus by Origen in the manuscript catenae: "That is: Putiphar was the name of the father of Joseph's wife. Someone will think he is different from the one who bought Joseph. But the Hebrews do not think so; rather, they say in the apocrypha that he is the very same person who was his master and father-in-law. And they recount that that Aseneth accused her mother to her father, saying that she had laid snares for Joseph, and that she had not been tempted by him. Upon which, he gave her as a bride to Joseph, so as to declare to the Egyptians that nothing of this sort had been perpetrated by Joseph against his house."

V. 49. A., S., "He did not cease." Thus the Coislinian. V. 51. A., "of my sorrows." From the same.

V. 2. "Another [reading], 'and buy for us.'" Thus certain manuscripts, silently omitting the name of the interpreter. The Coislinian manuscript, after that "he acted as a foreigner," added in the margin "he was feigning his appearance," that is, he was simulating an appearance, which seems to be a scholion.

V. 4. "Aquila, 'a misfortune.' Symmachus, 'a danger.'" Thus [does] Drusius [record this] with the names of the interpreters. But the two Royal codices do not attribute the names of the interpreters.

V. 7. "Another, 'he acted as a foreigner.'" The Coislinian manuscript.

V. 9. "Aquila, 'scouts.'" Thus the same Royal codices, silently omitting the name of the interpreter, but it is attributed to Aquila in Drusius and the Roman edition.

Ibid. "The hidden things of the land." Royal codices without the name of the interpreter. But the Coislinian attributes it to the name of Symmachus; and the passage is in truth from [both] Aquila and Symmachus, as [is shown] below in v. 12.

Without the name of the interpreters. But the Roman edition ascribes names. ^B Ibid. Thus two manuscripts, with the names usually omitted. The Roman edition ascribes the name of Aquila.

Notes and various readings for chap. XLIII Genesis. V. 8. A., *little ones of ours*. So the Coislin codex. V. 9. A., *I guarantee*. From the same. V. 11. On this passage Origen in the manuscript catenae: "From the fruits of the land, gifts are brought to Joseph, which Egypt does not possess; namely resin, honey, incense, stacte, turpentine, ^B walnuts." And above, it is also said that the camels were laden with aromatics, resin, and stacte; but not also with honey, and turpentine, and walnuts. That is: From the fruits Joseph is brought gifts which Egypt has not; resin, honey, incense, stacte, turpentine, nuts. Above also the camels are said to be loaded with aromatics, resin and stacte; but not honey, and turpentine and nuts. Jerome, however, in his *Questions*: "And bring down to the man gifts, some resin, and honey, and incense and stacte, and turpentine and nuts." Or, as Aquila and Symmachus translated, "almonds." For this reason we have set out this chapter, so that we may know where in our codices there is "incense," in the Hebrew it is NECOTHA, which Aquila translated as "storax." From which "the house of Necotha," which is read in Isaiah, is most clearly understood as the chamber of incense, or of storax, because in it diverse aromatics were stored. Isaiah xxxix, 2, Aquila and Symmachus translated, "the house of aromatics."

V. 23. On the word "I keep," etc., which is read in the LXX, the Coislinianus had a note, which subsequently perished as leaves were cut out; what remains is torn, and runs thus: The Hebrew is *ba’elah*, which is, "he came to me"... in the same book we have, for the *B*... *Ber*... *bamma* from ... *Barkathar* said by Isaac, it signifies, "the brother came in assault, and took your blessings and..." and rightly with the paradoxical... of the house of Joseph the money having come to him.

V. 5. And came to Egypt to Joseph, Jacob and his sons, and Pharaoh king of Egypt heard: “And Pharaoh said to Joseph, saying: Your father and your brethren have come to you. Behold the land of Egypt is before you. In the best land settle your father and your brethren.” ^A First later, and later first, to come to be—which was found to have suffered even here. For this reason, we have set it in order: it is this. To “We will dwell, your servants, in the land of Gesem,” is joined that which, “Pharaoh said to Joseph: Let them dwell in the land of Gesem.” But if you know that they are among them... Since in the Tetrapla, from which also the copy was transcribed according to the arrangement in the Hebrew and the other editions, the edition of the Seventy is shown in some places to have been transposed, so that those things which were prior were placed later, and those which were later, prior; which is found to have happened to it in this place as well; therefore we have set the true series here, which is thus. With these words: “We will dwell, your servants, in the land of Gesem,” is subjoined that: “And Pharaoh said to Joseph: Let them dwell in the land of Gesem.” If, however, you know ^B these things thus in the Coislin codex. They are marked first with obeli, then with asterisks, because these had formerly been translated in another place out of order. Concerning which matter, see the note of Origen below at v. 6.

Notes and various readings on Genesis ch. XLVII. "What may be in them," etc. Concerning those passages in the Septuagint version that are placed in reverse order, more is treated in the Preliminaries. V. 9. This reading of Aquila is found in all mss. and in the Roman edition. V. 12 A., [variant Greek text]. We have extracted this reading from the manuscripts. Therefore, Aquila, serving the letter according to his custom, had translated [Hebrew word provided] as "at the mouth of the little ones," that is, from the great to the small; or to individuals, as our Vulgate translates. The Coislin manuscript offers the reading of Aquila quite differently: "a provision corresponding to the crowd" (perhaps better: "appropriate to the crowd"). V. 22. A., "accuracy," etc. Thus the Roman edition.

Aquila is accustomed to translate the word [Hebrew word] as "accuracy," "a standard," "exactness," that is, something to be kept accurately and strictly, as you will observe below in many places. The Coislin manuscript, for "accuracy" [ἀκριβασμός], has: "because of accuracy" [ὅτι ἀκριβ.], V. 27. Thus the Roman edition presents the version of Aquila. V. 31. Thus all mss. and the Roman edition have the version of Aquila and Symmachus, which did not present the version of Symmachus in full, as it is found in the ms. codices. On this passage Jerome says in *Quaestiones*: "And in this place some vainly pretend that Jacob adored the top of Joseph's scepter, that, namely, he adored the power of his son by honoring him; whereas in the Hebrew it is read much otherwise.

Notes and various readings on Genesis ch. XLIX

V. 2. "Others: gathered together." So our mss. and some editions. I think it is a diverse interpretation. V. 3 and 4. Our mss. have the full readings, but most suggest reading individually "Reuben," [and] Combefis's notes "Reuben," which reading agrees with the Hebrew. Two royal codices, interpreting that of the Syrian, "do not remain," add from Diodorus: "instead of 'do not live'," as if to say, "do not exist." The interpreters vary wildly; they correctly explain this LXX [reading] "the beginning of the children," or "first in offspring": for this form of speech is likewise taken in this sense in Deut. xxii, 27; Ps. lxxvii, 51, and civ, 16. The interpretation of the whole passage is clearly stated thus: "Reuben my firstborn, my strength and the beginning of my seed, excelling in dignity, excelling in strength. Thou wert poured out like water: do not increase." Jerome reports this interpretation or one nearly similar, paraphrastically, in his *Questions on Genesis*, in these words: In the Hebrew it is written: "Reuben my firstborn, thou art my strength and the head among my children, greater in merit, and greater in power: thou wast poured out like water, do not add. For thou hast ascended thy father's bed, and hast defiled the couch in ascending." The sense is this: Thou art my firstborn, greater among my children: and thou oughtest, according to the order of thy birth, to receive the inheritance which was due by right to the firstborn, and the priesthood, and the kingdom: for this is demonstrated in the bearing of the burden and in the strongest power. But because thou hast sinned, and like water which is not held in a vessel, thou wast poured out in the impulse of pleasure: therefore I command thee, that thou sin no more: and be in the number of thy brethren, paying the penalty for sin, because thou hast lost the order of the firstborn. V. 5. A[quila], "instruments of iniquity," *anaskaphe*. So Coislin. The last word seems entirely corrupted. For although *anaskaptein* might square with the Hebrew word *mekerothen* [?], that *anaskape* is corrupt and in no way can correspond to the Hebrew. V. 6. Coislin reports: "they dug up a wall." The Roman edition brings this as a sort of scholion. But the Basilian codex, which was mutilated by ill-fated men to our loss in the whole book of Genesis up to chapter 48, has it thus: A[quila], S[ymmachus], "they rooted out [sic] a wall." V. 7. Where the LXX have *menis*, in the margin of Coislin is noted: *orge epimonos* (wrath persistent). V. 8. We borrow this Hebrew reading from one Royal codex, indeed Aquila’s from Coislin. V. 9. The first part of this verse according to the version of Aquila and Symmachus is found in Eusebius's *Evangelical Demonstration*, page 378, without distinction. Jerome here has "for captivity" instead of "for the prey." For he translates according to the Hebrew: "For captivity, my son, thou hast ascended." Ibid. A[quila], "will rise up." From Coislin. V. 10. Thus Eusebius *Demonstr. evang.*, p. 370 and 372. So I found it written in my notes; but I do not know why it should appear without [proof], wherefore I have enclosed it in brackets. "The things reserved for him." A[quila], "to whom it is reserved." This last reading was found in certain of our editions. Wherefore the Holy Fathers use now one reading, now another. Justin, however, in the *Dialogue with Trypho*, contends that "to whom it is reserved" is the true LXX reading, and not "the things reserved for him."

GENESIS CH. XLIX

21. ^A A supple shoot yielding beauty in its produce.

23. And the lords of arrows contended with him.

24. And their bows were broken with might.

26. Of the mountains.

27. He gives food. He will eat in the morning still, and at evening he gives food.

33. Gathering.

Notes and various readings on Genesis ch. XLIX

V. 12. Thus our two manuscripts, which however have *katakharoi*—a mistake, where *katharoi* should be read. For in Proverbs XXIII, 29, Aquila translates the same term as *katharoi*, whereby it is suggested that in this passage also the version *katharoi* is Aquila’s. In the same place in Proverbs, Symmachus translates *kharopoì* (graceful), the LXX *pethonai* (livid). Cyprian, in the first book of *Testimonies to Quirinus*, has *formidolosi* (terrible); this is how the famous Stephen Baluze reports that all manuscripts of the works of St. Cyprian read. In the published editions it reads *formosi* (beautiful). But the aforementioned gentleman prefers the other reading, *formidolosi*, to the latter: which also squares perfectly with that Greek reading which we cited from an uncertain interpreter, *phoberoi*. 'A., *kharopoì*. Coislin. It is read in another codex without a translator's name as *katakharoi*, a reading which I previously suspected and considered to have been substituted for *katharoi*, since for the most part Aquila translates that same Hebrew word elsewhere as *katharos*. Now, however, I confess I am at a loss both regarding the authenticity of the word and regarding its meaning.

V. 13. 'A., *mēros autou*. Thus the Coislinianus.

V. 14. 'A., *onos ostōdēs*. Coislin.

Ibid. 'A., *ana meson* etc. Thus Drusius. *Viciniarum* (of neighborhoods), that is, *geitonōn*, as we have placed between the two brackets. Concerning this passage, Jerome writes: "In the Hebrew it is written thus: 'Issachar is a bony ass resting between the borders, and seeing that the rest is good, and the land that it is beautiful, he bowed his shoulder to bear and became a servant under tribute.'" In Judges V, 16, Aquila translates the word *mishpthayim* as *klēron* (pasture); Symmachus, *metaichmion* (area between two armies). See there.

V. 15. Thus the Roman edition and Drusius. The later reading, without the translator's name, seems to be Symmachus’s. The Coislin, however, exhibits another reading of Aquila: *Kai esti eis phoron douleuōn*, "And he is serving for tribute."

V. 19. 'A., *euzōnos*. Σ., *logos*. Thus the Roman edition. Symmachus is accustomed to translate *logos* in this way, as would appear elsewhere. On this passage Jerome says: "Gad is a raider, and he himself will raid the heel." We have interpreted according to the Hebrew. But where we have placed *latrunculum* (a small raiding party), there it is written *GEDUD*, so that it might allude to the name *GAD*. The LXX interpreters translate *peirastērion*. It is translated, moreover, as *tentatio* (temptation), but perhaps better as *cohors latronum* (a band of robbers), from *peiratēs*. Cod. Coislin. exhibits a fuller reading of Aquila: *euzōnos, euzōnistheisetai*.

Ibid. 'A., *euzōnistheisetai ptērnan*. From Coislin.

V. 20. 'A., *truphas*. Thus Coislin.

Ibid. *Allos*, *trophēn*. It is likely that *trophēn* (food) was substituted in place of *truphēn* (luxury/delight) due to the fault of the scribes; for I would not believe any of the interpreters translated *ma'adan* as *trophēn*.

V. 21. 'A., *elaphos* etc. Coislin.

V. 23 and 24. The Roman edition prefers these Samaritan readings.

V. 26. 'A., *bounōn*. Aquila translates the Hebrew word *bounōn* in Deut. XXXIII, 2, and Symmachus and Theodotio do likewise; the LXX translate *athynei*. But elsewhere the LXX translate the same word as *bounos* (hill), and indeed very frequently.

V. 27. The Basle codex thus: 'A., *merisei labhyra*. Σ., *merisei skyla*. But the following reading of the Syrians the catenae provide from Apollinarius.

V. 35. 'A., *synlexen*. Σ., *synagagōn*. From Coislin.

[original-script column: see facsimile]

ADMONITION ON EXODUS.

In [the book of] Exodus, we have collected a good many readings of the ancient translators from various manuscripts, the greatest part of which had not been observed before. The rest, brought forward by Drusius, if they are compared with others now published for the first time, are very few in number, and in most places they are either emended or amplified with the help of the manuscripts. Furthermore, these codices, both manuscript and published, were the resources available to us for preparing these materials: The Royal Codex 1825, of the eleventh or twelfth century, on parchment. Codex Regius 1871, of excellent quality, of the tenth century, on parchment. Codex Regius 4888, on cotton paper, of the eleventh century. Codex 1889, recent, containing [the text] from the beginning of Exodus to chapter XI.

Notes and various readings for Chapter L of Genesis.

Among those who have supplied a greater abundance of readings are the Basilian [manuscript], the form of which we have described in the Forewarning on Genesis, and the Royal 1871, of about the same age (a). Furthermore, besides those readings of the ancient interpreters, we present these items worthy of note in various places—namely, at chap. XXVIII, where there is a great variety of editions; from the Basilian codex we provide six verses marked with asterisks, because in the edition of the Septuagint they were long missing. Whose interpreter these verses might be, which were brought forward from the Basilian [codex] with asterisks, we do not yet know with sufficient certainty. At chapter XXXVI, v. 8, from the same Basilian codex, a lengthy annotation is exhibited.

(a) Add the Coislinian [manuscript], whose readings Montfaucon [has included] in the appendix, having judged that they had come into his hands too late. *Editor of the Fathers.*

Notes and various readings on Chapter I of Exodus.

V. 5. Thus the Royal Codex 1871, of excellent note. The word *exelthousai* is marked with an asterisk because it had been omitted by the LXX Interpreters. The following word *metron*, which is also missing from them, ought to have been noted in the same way; unless perhaps it has fallen out: for almost infinite changes have been introduced into that edition. V. 7. A., S., *exerrosan* (erroneously, it seems, for *exerrisan*), *exerrisan*. So our manuscripts and the Roman edition, which nevertheless omitted the reading of an uncertain source, perhaps Theodotion’s, *eplēthynthesan*. Regarding this, Procopius says: "Wherefore, in order that he might explain that diction more clearly, Aquila says: They were spread abroad after the manner of an inundation over the whole land of Egypt." As for the rest, Symmachus, in order to denote in a similar way the manifold increase of the Hebrews, says: "They grew by germinating," having taken the metaphor from herbs which the earth brings forth in great abundance. Ibid. A., *eplērōthē hē gē ex autōn*. Thus the Royal Codex 1871. But Procopius says: "Aquila interprets it, and the earth was filled by them." V. 8. Thus our manuscripts and the Roman edition. The Royal Codex 1871 mentioned above has this reading; but whose it is, is unknown. Ibid. A., *osteinos*. The reading lies in doubt, because the Royal Codex already cited having been cut for binding, the letters of the final word have fallen away, so that *oste...* remains. Doubtless one should read *osteinos*: because Aquila thus translates the word *‘atzim*; Deut. ix, 1. Elsewhere it is read *osteōdēs*. V. 11. S., *ergodiōktas*. The Roman edition brought this reading as if it were a scholion; but the Basilian codex, by the aid of which many things are restored, attributes it to Symmachus. Ibid. A., S., *en tois bastagmasi*. Thus Royal [Codex] 1871. Symmachus translates the word *bastagmon* in Psalm lxxx, 7. Ibid. A., S., *poleis skēnomatōn*. Thus the same codex itself. Procopius says, "Aquila translates, tabernacles." V. 12. A., *estichaionto*. That word is not infrequent...

NOTES AND VARIOUS READINGS ON CHAPTER I OF EXODUS

...uses [original-script column: see facsimile]. But the Royal codex 1871 has that reading. The following is in the Syriac and all the Royal catenae with the Roman edition.

Ibidem. ^A Δ., *in enjoyment*. Σ., *in mockery*, that is, in illusion or derision; the translator of the Vulgate followed these, who translates, *mocking them*. The Coislinian codex has: Σ., *reveling*, Θ., *in mockery*... we have followed. For Symmachus is accustomed to translate the word [original-script column: see facsimile] as *mockery* or *a mockery*.

V. 16. Another, *provoked*. Thus the same Royal codex. I suspect the version *it provoked* is by Symmachus.

V. 15. Another, *little bird*, and afterwards *red*, thus the proper names, Sephora and Phua, seem to have been translated by Symmachus, who very often translates those [names] into Greek according to the meaning that they may bear. These come from the same Royal codex.

V. 16. Another, *and you shall see*. Thus the same Royal [codex]. This version seems to be Aquila’s.

V. 17. From the same Royal [codex].

V. 19. Thus our manuscripts and the Roman edition. On this passage Diodorus in the catenae [writes]: "The translation of the Seventy seems to signify the swiftness of the Hebrew women, the bearing outstripping the arrival of the midwives. But the edition of Symmachus and Theodotion [signifies] that the Hebrew women knew the art of midwifery and did not need the presence of the midwives; wherefore it grants to them that they saved the males alive." That is: the version of the LXX Interpreters seems to indicate the speed in childbearing of the Hebrew women, which forestalled the arrival of the midwives. But the edition of Symmachus and Theodotion declares that the wives of the Hebrews were skilled in midwifery and did not have need of the presence of midwives. Wherefore it attributes to them the fact that they bore the males lively and unharmed.

V. 21. Thus all our manuscript catenae. But all the interpreters, except Theodotion, seem to have read [original-script column: see facsimile] which they translate *they made*. The Vulgate interpreter, however, follows Theodotion.

Notes and variant readings on ch. II of Exodus.

V. 1. *And she saw him.* This addition, which many manuscripts—and indeed very ancient ones—possess, seems to have been marked in olden times with an obelus; for in the Hebrew it does not exist. V. 2. *S., and seeing*, etc. Thus the Regius 1871; it is better, for it refers to the mother of Moses. Ibid. *that*, etc. Thus the Basiliensis codex exhibits the readings of Aquila and Symmachus: The Roman edition holds: So indeed it is read in the Roman exemplar, in order that these words correspond with the reading of the LXX, *comely*. Ibid. *S., she covered him*. Thus the Reg. in the singular, as above, *and seeing*. The LXX have it in the plural. V. 3. Thus the Basiliensis and Reg. 1871. But on this passage this scholion is read in the Royal chains and in the Combefisian papers: *It is: A chest of papyrus; a box or water-vessel; or a broad container which some call Stitin.* Ibid. *A., in the papyrus-marsh.* Thus the Basiliensis and the Regius 1871; the former has *in the papyrus-marsh*, mistakenly. V. 5. Thus the Basiliensis. Ibid. *A., in the midst of the papyrus-marsh.* The Vulgate interpreter follows the reading of Aquila, who translates, *in the papyrus-marsh*. V. 8. These variant readings exist in many manuscripts; neither seems to hold well. It is to be read thus: Ibid. *Another, going forth.* Thus the Reg. 1871. So the same Regius codex; nor does it indicate whose reading this is. V. 13. *A., S., contending.* Thus the same Reg. V. 14. In the same Reg., that *as a man* is omitted by the LXX, and taken from another edition, it is marked with an asterisk. Ibid. *Another, you say.* The same Reg. It is not known whose translation it is, because, since the extreme edges of the leaves were cut away for binding, the names of the translators were often cut away. V. 15. *Another, out-cast.* Either it is a translation of Symmachus, or the meaning of a proper name, such as

the Hebrew word *Madiam*, which signifies "judgment" or "casting out."

V. 16. *Another, pouring-troughs.* A word nowhere observed by me, meaning troughs or channels prepared for the watering of flocks, from *potizein*, to give to drink. It is produced from the same Royal Codex, although it is not known whose translation it is.

V. 17. *Another, they cast out.* So certain manuscripts have it.

V. 19. *Drawing*, missing in the LXX Interpreters, is marked with an asterisk in the Royal Codex 1871.

V. 21. We take this notable passage of Symmachus and Theodotion from the Royal Codex 1871. The reason for the variation in interpretation arises from the fact that Symmachus, thinking the word *ishba* is derived from *shaba* (to swear), translated it *ōrkise* or "he adjured," as it is placed in the *Hiphil* conjugation; Theodotion, however, deduced it from *yaal*, which in *Hiphil* signifies *ērxato*, "he began." The Vulgate translator appears to have followed Symmachus, but rendered it intransitively as "he swore."

Ibid. *Another, a little bird.* Thus the same Royal Codex, as in the preceding verse 15.

V. 22. So the Royal Codex, likewise the Coislinian. *And the name of the second he called Eliezer, "For the God of my father is my helper, and He rescued me from the hand of Pharaoh."* And the name of the second he called Eliezer: "For the God of my father is my helper, and he delivered me from the hand of Pharaoh." The Vulgate: "And the other she bore, whom he called Eliezer, saying: For the God of my father is my helper, he delivered me from the hand of Pharaoh." However, these things were in the Hexapla, as the asterisks note, and perhaps had been translated from some Hebrew exemplar; yet they are not found in the Septuagint; hence a suspicion might arise that the asterisks were added by the error of copyists.

Ibid. *Another, in a strange land.* Thus the Royal Codex. The same.

V. 24. *Another, Symmachus, of their wailing.* Thus the Coislinian. In the Royal Codex and in the Alexandrian Chronicle, p. 65, with the name of the interpreter omitted.

Notes and various readings on Chapter III of Exodus. V. 1. A., of his bridegroom. S., of his father-in-law. These we borrow from the Royal [codex] 1871, where the reading of Aquila, as well as many others, was cut out, so that only the last syllable *tou* remains. But there is no doubt that it should be read *nympheutou autou*, because below, in chapter XVII, v. 1, where the subject is Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses, Aquila translates *nympheutes*, that is, literally, "a bridegroom's man"; although I think Aquila understood "father-in-law": for he could not have been ignorant that Jethro was Moses' father-in-law. Ibid. A., he was grazing. From the Coislinian. V. 2. The Basilian codex renders the reading of Symmachus thus, *phleyo*, better, if I am not mistaken, than *phlegomenos*, as the Roman edition has it. V. 3. S., the sight, from the Coislinian. In the Royal codex the word has dropped out. V. 4. A., Th., Behold me. Thus the same Royal [codex]. V. 5. A., Draw off, etc. So the Basilian codex and the Roman edition, in which *hypolyson* is read. V. 6. A., he hid. So the Basilian codex alone. The Coislinian has: A., he hid. This is marked in the margin of the Coislinian manuscript, which note is repeated below at verse 15. V. 8. This reading appears to be Aquila's or Symmachus's, or that of both; but the margin having been cut out, the name has dropped out in the Royal [codex], from which it arises. V. 9. A., and indeed, etc. Thus the Basilian codex brings forward the readings of the three interpreters. The Roman edition has only Aquila, and *othlibousi* is read there. But *apothlibousin* is better, as the Basilian has it, and it refers to... V. 12. S., when you bring out. Thus the Royal 1871. Procopius has it; Symmachus reads: "When you lead out." Ibid. Another, in Horeb. Thus the same codex. But...

Notes and various readings on chapter III of Exodus.

That in Horeb is uncertain whether it be scholion or another interpretation. ^A V. 13. Reg. 1871. It seems to have fallen out, and should be read: "I shall be who I shall be," that they may correspond with the Hebrew. ^B V. 16. So the Roman edition. Coislin. We, with the Roman edition, read above, "elders." ^C V. 18. The readings of this verse, and likewise of 19 and 21, are taken from the oft-mentioned Regius codex 1871. ^D V. 22. So Coislin. The LXX and the Roman edition have this reading. Coislin, however, as also the Alexandrian, prefers in the text; in others, the reading of Symmachus is exhibited differently: "But on this passage Drusius thus discourses: 'Spoliate,' which is also said, and from whence it is said in old books, 'edit LXX, while in others it is "prepare," than "remain." Theodoret recognizes the reading, question 23 in Exodus, writing thus: "In the fragments which I once collected, Symmachus—I think it is true what I have set down." In the notes to the Roman edition, thus LL. VV. In others it is, "prepare." So far Drusius. Procopius, however, has it thus: 'The Syrian translates, Excute, vacate.' Ibid. Σ., of his station. So Reg. 1871.

Thus he, along with the Roman edition, ascribes to Symmachus the reading which all other codices attribute to the Syrian. An error could have arisen from the initial letter Σ, being the same in both.

So the Coislinianus. The Basilian codex, omitting as often elsewhere the name of the interpreters. The same interpreters also are accustomed elsewhere to render *loimon* (pestilence), just as below in ch. ix, [v.] 15. The Vulgate interpreter has followed this reading, pestilence or sword. V. 4. A., *apotaxete*, etc., so the Basilian codex, in which the reading of Symmachus is thus held, *apotrepete*. But in the Chronicon Alexandrinum it is read better, if I am not mistaken, *apostrephete*. Here note that I would like the word *par* elsewhere rendered by Aquila, *skedasthesetai*, it shall be scattered. But nevertheless the sincere reading of this verse of the same is *apotaxete*, which is also found twice below in Exod. xxxii, 25, by the same interpreter Aquila. Coislin. has: S., *apotrepete*, just as also the Basilian. Chronicon Alex., *apostrephete*; choose whichever reading you may prefer. V. 7. So the Basilian codex, better as it seems than the Roman edition and Drusius, who for Aquila have, towards Symmachus, [read] *according to yesterday and the third day*.

Thus the Basilian, with the name of the interpreter not indicated. V. 16. Thus the Basilian. Drusius did not bring forward Theodotion's reading, but mixed it with the interpretation of Symmachus, whom he mentions alone after Aquila. V. 18. *Another: having departed*.

For it is forbidden to them to pronounce it with the tongue. It is written with four letters, which is why they call it the Tetragrammaton. This was also inscribed on the golden plate which was placed on the brow of the high priest, fastened to the headband. The Samaritans call it *Jabe*; the Jews, however, *ia*. These are the words of Theodoret, but other Greeks, following the Hebrews, read the word thus: *iao*, or *iou*; others *kou*. V. 5. Thus in the *Demonstratio Evangelica* of Eusebius, p. 210, and the Roman edition. Aquila, *hikanō*, to the sufficient. *Hikanos* is an epithet of God. Hence among the ancient ecclesiastical authors

"Another", "he spoke". v. 19. A. [Aquila], "upon the streams". So the Regius Codex 1871, which also has the following reading without an interpreter’s name. v. 22. This verse, exactly similar to the eleventh, is found in the Roman edition without the names of the interpreters, with the exception of Aquila. But the names are carried in the Basilian. v. 24. Thus the Basilian Codex brings forward the readings of all three interpreters; the Roman edition, however, has only that of Aquila.

And Moses said to the sons of Israel: You have come as far as the mountain of the Amorite, which the Lord our God gives to us. See that the Lord thy God hath given the land before thy face; go up, inherit it, as the Lord the God of thy fathers hath spoken to thee; be not afraid, nor hesitate. And they came to Moses and said: Let us send men before us, and let them spy out the land, and let them return word to us concerning the way by which we shall go up. And the word was pleasing in the eyes of Moses. i.e. Moses recalls these things at the beginning of Deuteronomy: which we have translated from the Hebrew of the Samaritans, congruently to the version of the LXX Interpreters, which is carried in Deuteronomy (1.20). And Moses said to the sons of Israel: You have come as far as the mountain of the Amorite, which the Lord our God gives to us.

Notes and various readings on Chapter IX of Exodus. ^A V. 2. Symmachus, [Greek text]. This reading is supplied by the Royal MS. 1871. Ibid. From the unique Basilian codex we borrow the reading of Aquila and Symmachus. V. 3. Aquila, Symmachus, [Greek text]. Thus the Basilian. V. 4. "Another", [Greek text]. From the Coislinian. V. 9. Thus the Basilian and the Roman edition, where [Greek text] is translated as "volatica"; but "expansæ" is better, for [Greek text] always signifies to expand and to extend. The Royal MS and one Colbertine codex have the same readings of Aquila and Symmachus without distinction. Coislinian, Symmachus, [Greek text]. The Basilian, [Greek text] as it is in the LXX. I would believe the Coislinian reading to be more genuine, and that Symmachus translated the word [Hebrew] with a different noun than the LXX in the neuter gender. V. 14. [Greek text]. Thus the Basilian. V. 15. All the readings of verses 15, 16, 17, and 22 likewise come from the same Basilian codex. V. 16. Where the LXX have [Greek text], the Coislinian at the margin has [Greek text]. ^B V. 17. The Coislinian in the text has [Greek text], and in the margin [Greek text], which last reading is in the Roman edition. Aquila, however, and Symmachus exhibit the readings as we have published them. V. 20. Symmachus, [Greek text]. From the Coislinian. V. 23. Thus the Colbertine codex, which has these ^C things at... ^D

the margin: The Lord gave forth a voice, another says, the sound of winds, another, thunders. That is, the Lord gave a voice; another says, the sound of winds; another, thunders.

V. 24. The Basiliensis and the aforementioned Colbertine codices have these readings of Aquila and Symmachus.

V. 27. "Another, *I have sinned in time unto now*." Thus the Regius 1825 and the Roman edition have it, without the name of another interpreter.

V. 32. A., *zea*. Thus the Roman edition. Regarding this passage, Drusius has the following: "'Zea' or 'zeia', that is, spelt (far)." Jerome, Is. xxviii, 25: "For spelt, which the Greeks call *zean*, some understand vetch (viciam)." The same in Ezek. iv, 9: "Which we have translated as vetch, for which in Hebrew it is said *kussim*, the LXX and Theodotion have placed *oluran*, which others think to be oats, others rye: but Aquila's first edition and Symmachus have translated *zeas* or *oluran*, which we call either spelt (far), or in the vernacular of Italy and Pannonia, *spica* or *spelta*." The ancient lexicon: "far, zeia, sitos, olura." Fatinas, *zeia*, *olura*. Hesychius also explains *zeias* as *oluras*. Pliny says otherwise—see him if you wish. R. David in the Book of Roots (under *kussim*) says *spelta*. The same in his commentaries which he composes on Ezekiel, *kussim*: "commonly," he says, *seigle*, that is, rye, if I grasp it correctly." So far Drusius.

V. 33 and 35. We borrow the readings of these verses from the Basiliensis codex.

Notes and various readings to Exod. Chap. XII

V. 5. 'A., without blemish. Thus one codex and the Roman edition. V. 7. 'A., the lintel. So the Basilian codex. V. 8. Coislin. at the word of the LXX, they shall eat, in the margin, "they shall eat". V. 10. Another, "not of—". Thus the Basilian codex and others. Ibid. Another, "not" etc. Thus the Basilian. This clause, "not shall you break of it," exists in the Hebrew in verse 46 only; but in the LXX it is present twice, namely in verse 10, by which it seems to have been transferred by copyists; and in verse 46, which is its proper place. V. 11. The readings of this notable passage are found mutilated and mingled in Drusius. For it is read: "Philov interpreted Pascha as *diabatēria* [passover-offerings], that is, sacrifices which occur in transit; but Josephus [interpreted it as] *hyperbasis*, that is, transgression; and Symmachus [as] *hyperbasai*, that is, transgressions; Theodotion [as] *Phasech*, having set down the Hebrew word." But I suspect that Theodoret's passage is mutilated, and that he omitted Aquila in his enumeration of interpretations. For I would not believe that he, while seeking out all even foreign interpretations, would have passed over Aquila, who was at hand. I think, therefore, one should read thus: "But as it was, the two mentioned manuscripts support it; but the Basilian has *en thambōi* [in astonishment] for *en to* [in the]; erroneously; and for *en epideixei* [in display], by the fault of the copyist, as it seems." Coislin.: "Where it says *en epideixei* [in display] it is likely *en epixei* [in urgency] for the 'A." *Akribeian* [exactness]. S., command. V. 13. 'A., *thrausma* [fragment], thus the Basilian. The same Aquila turns it to *thrausis* [breaking] above, 14. V. 14. 'A., exactness. S., command. Ex Basil. So also both translate Levit. XXIII, 40, where see if convenient. V. 15. Thus the same Basilian. V. 19. It shall not be seen. Thus the Basilian, with the name of the interpreter not cited. Ibid. From the same Basilian.

V. 19. A., S., to the proselyte, from the Basilian codex. Here Theodoret calls him "Gioram the proselyte." V. 20. Alius, in every, etc. So from the Basilian [codex]. V. 27. The same Basilian [codex] has this reading, and likewise the following one at verse 28, as also at verse 29. V. 36. S., to prepare. Certain codices from Theodoret adduce this reading, whose words are: "Why do some complain that God commanded the Hebrews to ask the Egyptians for vessels of gold and silver, and garments, and to despoil the Egyptians? For thus did Symmachus interpret 'to prepare' [σκευάσασθαι]," that is: "Why do some complain that God commanded the Hebrews to ask for golden and silver vessels and garments from the Egyptians, and to despoil them? For thus Symmachus interpreted it: to plunder vessels." V. 37. Alius, the healing, etc. So the Basilian; but it is either the reading of a certain interpreter, or a gloss on personal names, of the kind Origen indicates existed. Ibidem. A., without a little one [child]. Thus the Basilian [codex] provides the reading with a serving letter [article], better than the Roman edition, which has "without children." Symm., of the crowd. Thus both translate the word above, Exod. x, 10. V. 40. Thus the Basil[ian] has both readings for "of the other." V. 41. One codex, without mentioning the interpreter, adduces this reading, "And every army came out," etc., which the Vulgate follows. V. 42. A., the night of observation. Thus the Basilian and the Colbertine, as well as the Royal catena. Regarding Aquila, the Roman edition has "observation [genitive]," the Basilian "of observations [genitive plural]," which is better, [as it is] in the Hebrew סִמֻּרִים, for Aquila is not accustomed to express the Hebrew plural by a singular. V. 46. Alius, not to be left over. The Basilian codex has these readings, which are not expressed in the Hebrew (*). The Coislin[ian] notes in the margin on these words of the LXX, "you shall not leave," etc.: "It shall not be left from the meats until the morning." Which reading agrees with the other one placed in the same location. (*) In the Alexandrian text and the Aldine edition, after these words "in a house it shall be consumed," which are the beginning of this our verse, there is added: "you shall not leave of the meats until the morning," where this addition is better placed than in the Basilian and Coislinian codices.

Notes and variant readings for chapter XIII of Exodus. V. 3. "Another, you shall not eat leavened bread." So the Basilian manuscript. V. 4. "Another, in the month of the dead." Another, "a fixed thing or a command." V. 5. "Another, as it may be." From the same Basilian manuscript. V. 10. The first reading seems without doubt to be Aquila’s; the second Symmachus’, for they are wont to translate the word [Hebrew omitted] so. Both exist in the Roman edition. In the Coislin, "Aquila, [Greek]..." The first reading is held by Drusius, which indeed seems preferable, namely from *tenon*, *tenontos*, the nerve of the neck. *Tou tenontos* is read below at Job xvi, 12. The second is held by the Regius codex 1871. And below, Exodus xxxiv, 20, in the Basilian is read *tenontokpeseis*, "you shall behead." The readings of the others, namely Symmachus and Theodotion, contain the Basilian codex and Drusius. Samaritan: *paradoseis*. Thus the Colbertine and two Regii. In the Coislin, with this note: "Using a different meaning, those who are with the Seventy say: For if, he says, you cannot exchange it, you shall kill it, so that what had been consecrated to God might not serve man; nevertheless the Seventy devised it more beautifully, 'you shall redeem it,' as if they were saying, 'you shall give its price'; for thus in the very words it is said below, chapter LIV, and even at the end of Leviticus." V. 16. The reading of Aquila is varied in the manuscripts. The Roman edition has: "Aquila, and that which was brought," which truly signifies nothing. The Basilian here has "and they were brought," from which you can extract no greater knowledge. The same Basilian below at Deuteronomy vi, 8, at the word [Hebrew omitted] has "Aquila... brought," which likewise signifies nothing. I think all these readings are corrupted, and I opine it should be read "and into..."

V. 17. *Ἄλλος, πτώσεως δισσῆς*. Thus the Basilian [manuscript] to the word *ἐνοπλισάμενοι*. V. 18. These come forth from the Basilian codex, from Drusius and Jerome. Moreover, regarding these readings, Drusius says: "id est, sive armati. I once thought it should be read *ἐνοπλισάμενοι*, that is, armed, or equipped." Jerome, epistle 125, which was written to Damasus: "For Aquila, who does not interpret contentiously, as some think, but rather studiously, interprets the word word-for-word, in the place where the LXX placed, 'But in the fifth generation went up the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt,' he translated, that is, 'and armed went up the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt.'" Although for that which we have called "armed," according to the ambiguity of the Greek language, "instructed" or "fortified" on account of the goods with which they despoiled the Egyptians, might be understood. The same a little later: "That Aquila, indeed, as in other matters, so in this place especially, translated properly, all Judaea proclaims, and all the chairs of the Synagogues agree." *Πεμπταΐζοντες*, in the number of five, a word deformed from *πεμπτάς*. Jonathan, "Each with five infants or little boys," etc. Thus far Drusius. We deem the rest of the Rabbis' commentaries to be omitted. See there if it is lacking. It is to be noted that Diodorus in the catenae reads for Aquila *ἐνωπλισμένοι*, to Symmachus, however, *ὁπλῖται*. But the Roman edition [of the LXX] just as the Basilian codex, A., Σ., *καθωπλισμένοι*. I think it read better to Aquila, *ἐνωπλισμένοι*. Coislin, A., *ἐνωπλισμένοι*. The reading of Aquila is that which we, with Drusius, have thought should be restored. Of Symmachus, *ὁπλῖται*. The Basilian codex, and others, *καθωπλισμένοι*.

From the Basiliensis, without a name. V. 16. We borrow the reading of Symmachus from Procopius, p. 266: "Symmachus has, because an allotment befits each." Ibid. "The omer." A double note is held in the manuscripts for this place. One of an anonymous writer thus: "The omer, fifteen modii, the tenth part of the three measures." That is: "Gomor, fifteen modii: the tenth part of three measures." The other of Epiphanius in these words: "The omer, the tenth part of the great measure, that is to say of the artaba, which contains seven sextarii and a fifth." V. 20. "Another, it climbed." This reading is held in the Basiliensis and in the Roman edition, and it seems to be Aquila, who uses this word above, chapter xiv, 27. V. 21. "Another, everyone that which is sufficient." Thus Drusius. However, it seems to be the reading of Symmachus, who looks more to the sense than to the words. V. 22. "Another, they brought." Thus some codices and the Combefisian papers. V. 29. "Another, with himself." Thus the Basiliensis. However, it seems to be the reading of Aquila or Symmachus, which the vulgate interpreter follows, who translates, "by himself."

R. 1888, *amylon* in oil, *amylon* in oil of honey. V. 35. S., *eos* etc. So one codex prefers the reading of Symmachus. But the interpreter of Procopius, p. 266: *Symmachus translated, "Unto the ends of the land of Canaan."* Ibid. "Another, the tenth of the ephi." So our manuscripts and the Roman edition without the name of the interpreter. Here Drusius has thus: *Jerome, tenth part of the Ephi; LXX, Noster,* in another place renders "three modii." Therefore "measure" is *modius*, with the name of the genus restricted to a certain species. Onkelos and Jonathan *of three satums*. To this must be accommodated the word *modius*, which they use for *satum*. Now a *satum* is a Hebrew measure, which the Epha contained three times.

Notes and variant readings on ch. XVII of Exodus. V. 12. 'A., "The hands" etc. In this way the Basilian text puts forward the reading of Aquila, where for *fides* (faith), it understands "his faith," that is, the hands of Moses were held erect faithfully and were not let down. — Coislin. 'A., "supported." But I think the reading of the Basilian is more genuine, namely *fides* for the Hebrew term. This method of translating is familiar to Aquila. Perhaps "supported" was taken from another version of Aquila.

NOTES AND VARIOUS READINGS TO CHAPTER XIX OF EXODUS.

V. 10. *Oi λοιπ., ἁγ*-. So the Roman edition and Drusius. V. 12. *’Αλλος, ὀρθ*-. So the Basle edition and the Roman edition. *Οροθετήσεις*. Which reading Drusius surmises to be that of the other three; but whose it is, or of whom it is, is uncertain.—Coislin. *οἱ λοιπ., ὀροθετήσεις*. V. 13. So the Roman edition and the Basle edition, which has *’Α., ῥυΐξει* incorrectly: but *ῥοῑζήσει* here is the dative case of *ῥοῖζησις*, "ejaculation with stridor," not the future of the verb *ῥοιζέω*, as Drusius seems to have thought, who translated *τὸ ῥοῑζήσει*, "with a great noise and stridor he shall be killed." Therefore, Aquila translated *יָרָה יִרָּאֶה ῥοῑζήσεται*, as he is accustomed to interpret such a Hebraism. The same Aquila in 1 Reg. xxxi, 3, *בּוֹרִים, ῥοῑζοῦντες*, translated. Similarly Coislin., *’Α., ῥοῑζώσει σὺν βέλεσι*, erroneously for *ῥοῑζήσει*. Symm., *βέλεσι*, as is argued from other manuscripts. V. 18. Basle edition, *ὡσεὶ ἀτμίς*, with the interpreter left unstated. V. 22. These readings are in the Basle edition and other manuscripts. V. 24. *’Αλλος, ἐξ αὐτοῦ*. So the Basle edition.

NOTES AND VARIOUS READINGS ON CHAPTER XX OF EXODUS.

V. 7. *’Α., εἰς εἰκῇ*. So the Basle edition and the Roman edition. In Psalm clxxxvii, Aquila translated the same word *εἰς εἰκῇ*. Symm., *ματαίως*. V. 21. These, Maximus Schol. in Dionysius, *Lib. De mystica theologia*, cap. 1: "The Seventy and Aquila and Theodotion gave *’Αραφέλ*. Symmachus, however, *ἀμίχλην* (mist)." That is: "LXX, Aquila and Theodotion issued *Araphel*; Symmachus, *a mist*." Note that the LXX today have *γνόφον*; but in this edition almost infinite changes have been introduced, as is related in the Preliminaries. V. 25. *’Α., ὅτι μάχαιραν σου* etc. So our chain and the Roman edition. One Royal manuscript for the reading of Theodotion has *ἐπ’ αὐτόν*. Ibid. *’Αλλος, καὶ ἐβηλώσας αὐτό*, from the Basle edition, which does not indicate the interpreter.

Notes and various readings on Chapter XXI of Exodus.

V. 2. *Another*, “You shall send him away.” ^A Thus the Basilian [manuscript] and others of our [manuscripts], without naming the translator; but it appears to be the version of Symmachus, who interprets with greater freedom.

V. 3. *Another*, “And the woman,” etc. Thus two manuscripts.

V. 6. Thus all our manuscripts and the Roman edition. ^B *Aquila*, “To the gods.” Drusius on this passage: “This passage exists more fully in my manuscripts...” ^C “And he shall lead him to the gods.” Thus Drusius, who borrows these things from Theodoret’s *Questions on Deuteronomy*, where it is read thus: “He calls the judges gods. For you shall not, he says, speak evil of gods, nor shall you curse the ruler of your people. And where the Seventy said: ‘You shall bring him to the court*’—Aquila and Symmachus translated: ‘You shall bring him to the gods.’* ^D One codex and a sheet of Combefis contain this scholion: *Aquila and Symmachus say, ‘to the gods’; they call the judges gods, and the tribunal of God, their judgment.*”

V. 7 and 8. We borrow this notable passage in full, according to all versions, from the Basilian codex. In the Roman edition it exists in a mutilated state; the name of Aquila does not appear, and his version is presented in a truncated form.

You shall not afflict a stranger or oppress him: for you yourselves were strangers in the land of Egypt. 21. He shall not be afflicted. 28. You shall not curse. 28. You shall not curse. 28. He shall not be dishonored.

Notes and various readings on Chapter XXII of Exodus.

V. 10. *Another*, “And let no one see.” Thus the Basilian, without naming the translator. V. 11. *Another*, “Of not having shared in them.” Thus the Basilian, without naming the translator. V. 12. Thus the Basilian. V. 19. The same Basilian [manuscript] provides this reading of Theodotion. V. 20. *Aquila*, “He who offers sacrifice to gods shall be devoted to destruction.”

Notes and various readings on Chapter XXI of Exodus.

The text of Symmachus is corrupted: for there it is read *ou proseleusetai proeleusin douliken*, "he shall not approach as servants approach;" this produces a meaning contrary to Scripture, for it is not about an approach, but about a departure that is treated here: wherefore the reading of the Basilian [manuscript] is altogether preferable, *ou proeleusetai proeleusin*, "he shall not depart with a departure." One King’s [manuscript] in the reading of Aquila expresses *pōlēsei anēr, pōlēsei patēr*, "a man shall sell, a father shall sell."

V. 9. S., *kata to dikaiōma tōn eugenōn*, "according to the right of the well-born." We have arranged the Greek according to the interpreter of Procopius, who has it thus: Symmachus in his version placed "according to the right of daughters, according to the right of nobles." V. 11. Another, *panta tauta*, "all these things," thus the Basilian, without indicating the interpreter. V. 12. Another, *thanat.*, "death." Likewise from the Basilian and another King’s codex. V. 15. A., *kai hos* etc., "and he who" etc. Thus the Basilian, one King’s [manuscript], and the Roman edition. Ibid. A., S., *apheken*, "he abandoned." The Roman edition attributes this version to Symmachus alone; the Basilian, however, to Aquila alone. I would believe it to be of both. V. 17. Another, *thanatousthō*, "let him be put to death." Thus the Basilian. V. 18. A., S., *ean de diamachōntai*, "but if they contend." The Roman edition attributes this to Aquila; the Basilian to Symmachus; two King’s [manuscripts] do not provide the name of the interpreter. Ibid. Another, *kai pataxē tis ton plēsion*, "and if someone strikes his neighbor." One King’s [manuscript] which does not indicate the interpreter. V. 22. Another, *embryon echousa*, "having an embryo." Thus the Basilian, without the name of the interpreter. V. 32. Coislin. S., *statēras*, "staters." All others have A., S., *statēras*. But each is accustomed to translate thus.

CHAPTER XXII OF EXODUS

[alt-version omitted]

Notes and various readings on Chapter XXII of Exodus.

*autos*, "self." The Roman edition produces this reading as a scholion. Other codices attribute the fuller text to Aquila. And he [Aquila] is accustomed to translate the word *anathemetizein* thus. So Deut. III, 6. — Coislin. *oi loipoi, anathematisthēsetai*, "the rest, he shall be cursed." V. 21. A., *ou kakouchēsetai*, "he shall not be maltreated." Coislin. Ibid. Another, "you shall not humble a proselyte," etc. Thus one codex. V. 28. Thus the Basilian codex.

Notes and various readings on Chapter XXIV of Exodus. V. 6. *Alius*, "he placed," etc. So the *Basiliensis*. But that which we translate "in basins" signifies vessels for receiving blood; as Tully in his *Brutus* [De claris oratoribus], "to receive blood in a basin"; and in his book *De Divinatione*: "Mercury was seen pouring blood from a basin." Ibid. *Alius*, "he sprinkled." So one codex and the Combefisian sheets. V. 9. *Alius*, "of the elders of Israel." So two mss. V. 10. *Alius*, "and they saw," etc. So the *Basiliensis*. Here the Vulgate interpreter follows Aquila. V. 12. *Alius*, *Symmachus*, *Theodotion*, "and I will give thee the tables of stone."

Notes and Various Readings to Chapter XXIII of Exodus

It is probable that *thymiāmatos* [incense] is an error for *thymiama*. V. 19. S., "you shall not form," etc. Thus the Colbert and one Regius manuscript, from Cyril, and likewise the Roman edition. V. 20. "who shall go before thee." Thus the Basilian manuscript. The Vulgate interpreter, however, followed this reading of Symmachus when he says, "who shall go before thee." V. 21. A., "you shall not challenge," etc. Thus the Basilian manuscript, which has it under Aquila's name. But it should be read "you shall not embitter": for Aquila translates the same verb in other places. Coislin; one Basilian. This version appears to be Aquila's, who translates elsewhere "a childless state." Ps. XXXIV, 12. Ibid. A., "of your years." Thus one Basilian manuscript. Thus Coislin. But one Regius and the Roman edition omit the names of the interpreters. V. 28. So certain Regius manuscripts and the Combefisian leaves. Where note those who translated as *ekbaleis* [you shall cast out], they must have read *geres* [exile]; regarding *ekbalō* [I shall cast out], the change is a simple one.

CHAPTER XXIV OF EXODUS

6. "Poured into the basins." Another, "poured out." 9. "The elders of Israel." 10. "And they saw the place where the God of Israel stood." 12. "And I will give to thee the stone tables." "To show to them." "To lay down laws for them." 13. "His minister." 14. "Be quiet." 16. "Descended."

Notes and Various Readings to Chapter XXIV of Exodus

...the tables. Thus the Basilian manuscript. The LXX interpreters also translate "tables" almost always. Ibidem. A., "enlightening them." Thus the Basilian manuscript. See the note above at Exod. xv, 25. V. 13. A., S., Th., "his minister." Thus the Basilian, one Regius, and the Roman edition. See Proverbs xxix, 12. V. 14. "Sit down." S., "wait," etc. The Vulgate interpreter follows the reading of Symmachus. These things we learn from the Basilian codex. Coislin, under Symmachus, has "wait." V. 16. A., "he tabernacled," etc. Thus the Basilian manuscript. The Vulgate adheres to the version of Aquila.

V. 2. A., *aphairema*. So the Basiliensis. The LXX frequently use this word to express what is translated into Latin as "exemption" or "separation." But I do not know if we ought better to call it "elevation." Coislin. A., *aphairemata*. But the reading of the Basiliensis codex is preferred, *aphairema*, for the Hebrew word is in the singular. — *pheks*. From Coislin. Horace, Carm. II, ode 16: *Te bis Afro murice tinctæ vestiunt lanæ*.

V. 5. Thus the Basiliensis and other codices. A., Σ., Θ., "Skins of rams dyed red." — Coislin., "the others," *ianthina*. So also ibid., "the others," *ianthina*. Ibid., A., Σ., Θ., "Skins of a violet color." So the Basiliensis and others. The Vulgate interpreter has followed this version.

V. 7. A., Σ., Θ., "Onyx stones." So the Basiliensis. Hence the Vulgate interpreter, "Onyx stones." See above on chapter II of Genesis. Ibid., A., Σ., Θ., "of completion," so the Basiliensis. Ibid., A., Σ., Θ., "an outer garment," from the same Basiliensis. Thus Aquila and Symmachus are accustomed to interpret the word *'ephod*. Ibid., A., Σ., "for the breastplate," so Coislin.

V. 8. A., Σ., "I shall dwell," so the Basiliensis. That version the Vulgate interpreter follows.

V. 10. A., Σ., Θ., "a small chest," from the Basiliensis. The LXX interpreters also in Paralipomenon translate *'aron* as "a small chest." — Coislin., Basilica, truly, A. ... Ibid., Coislin.

V. 11. Σ., "of a chaplet," so Coislin.

In the following chapter, v. 16, Aquila and Symmachus translate the same word, םירזש, as *paratanysma*. Interpretations of this same word are found in chap. XXXVI, v. 35. A., *parapetasma* (curtain). The Seventy, *katapetasma* (veil). Another, *paratanysma*. Another, *kalymma* (covering). Regarding this passage, a certain anonymous writer in the MS catenae says: "The *katapetasma* was a type of covering into which the ark would enter, as an *epispastron* (curtain). Indeed, this same thing was also called *katapetasma*. But the *katapetasma*, strictly speaking, is hung in the manner of a veil; the *epispastron*, however, is made in the likeness of a tent-chamber. Both of these cover entirely what is within. The *epispastron* is called the curtain which has rings, so that through these it might be drawn, and through these it might be completed." That is: "The veil was a sort of cover into which the ark would go, as if it were a tent. In truth, this same veil was called [a curtain]. But a veil, properly speaking, is let down after the manner of a veil. A tent, however, is fashioned after the manner of a bridal chamber. Or it is called a tent, [being] a veil having rings, so that by their help it can be drawn and arranged."

28. And the breastplate shall be bound from his rings to the rings of the superhumeral with a thread of hyacinth, so that it may exist above the craft of the superhumeral, and the breastplate shall not be lifted from upon the superhumeral. And it shall not be lifted.

27. Moreover, [make] two other gold rings, which are to be placed on both sides of the superhumeral downwards, which looks toward the face of the lower junction, so that it may be able to be fitted with the superhumeral.

28. And let the breastplate be bound with its rings to the rings of the superhumeral with a ribbon of hyacinth, so that the artfully made junction may remain, and the breastplate and the superhumeral may not be able to be separated from one another. So that they may not be separated.

Notes and variant readings on chapter XXVIII of Exodus. ...scripture, *or according to another writing*. Does this indicate a different reading or another edition? There are indeed those who interpret *misnepheth* as a mitre. The same *tsaniph* signifies this. Jerome, in Commentary on Zechariah III: *tsaniph* is a cidaris, or according to others, a mitre. The same [author], in the letter which he wrote to Fabiola concerning the priestly garment: "The fourth type," he says, "is of a garment, a round cap, such as we see depicted in Ulysses, as if a sphere were divided in the middle, and one part were placed upon the head. This the Greeks and our own call a tiara, and some call it a helmet; the Hebrews call it *migba'ah*. It does not have a point at the top, nor does it cover the head entirely down to the hair, but leaves a third part from the forehead uncovered; and thus it is bound with a band at the occiput, so that it does not easily slip from the head. It is, moreover, of fine linen, and so skillfully covered with linen cloth that no traces of a needle appear on the outside." Thus far Drusius. Ibid. A., *eependyma*. Above, chapter XXV, verse 7, the same reading is held, at the word *me'il*, and is attributed to Aquila, Symmachus, and Theodotion. Jerome, in his letter to Fabiola on the priestly garment and in Hosea III, 4, testifies that Aquila translated it *eependyma*. V. 5. The Basilian codex displayed the readings of the three interpreters here, but this exemplar, when I was residing in Rome and without my knowledge, was rebound and mutilated at the edges of the leaves; by which it happened that the [readings] of the interpreters

were lost. Now, by conjecture alone, we can say to whom each individual interpretation belongs. The first, therefore, seems to be a variant reading of the LXX interpreters. The second, ^A *tò kókkinon tò diáphoron*, is thought to be Theodotion’s. The third, it seems, is entirely Aquila’s, who follows the letter with scrupulous care, and in the very same words interprets the same Hebrew terms below, in chapter xxxv, 35. In Drusius, it is erroneously read as *diáphanon*, infra, verse 8. The fourth, or more accurately the third, is Symmachus’, as infra, verse 8. Moreover, I would have you observe that manuscripts, when they bring forward interpretations, generally hold no order, but sometimes bring Aquila first, sometimes second, and then the third, and so on for the rest.

Verse 6. *Et facient*, etc. The Roman edition brings forward this reading without the name of the interpreter.

Verse 7. *Duo superhumeralia*. On these words these notes are read in the manuscripts, and in the papers of Combefis from an anonymous source: "Id est: Duabus utroque humero impositis; vel duo humeri conjuncti erunt." Also, another [note] of an anonymous author: "Duo superhumeralia ambobus humeris imposita, habentia in summitatibus suis aspidiscas aureas tenues in modum cinguli; quibus ex una parte humeris jungebantur; ex altera ante pectus pendebant, utrinque rationali colligata."

Verse 8. The Roman edition erroneously has *diáphanon* attributed to Aquila. The remaining readings are from the Basilian [manuscript].

Verse 9. Thus the Basilian. Jerome to Fabiola concerning the priestly garment: "In both shoulders he has individual stones enclosed and set in gold, which are called *soom* in Hebrew; by Aquila, Symmachus, and Theodotion they are translated as *onychini* (onyx), by the Septuagint as *smaragdi* (emeralds). Josephus calls them ^B *sardonychas*, agreeing with both the Hebrew and Aquila: so as to demonstrate either the color of the stones or their native land." Thus Jerome agrees with the Basilian codex. Whence Drusius is refuted, who wishes these words of Jerome to be spurious in Symmachus and Theodotion, and the reading to be ascribed to Aquila alone. Coislin.: *oi loipoi* (the rest), etc. In the Basilian it is read: A, S, Th, *onychion* only.

Verse 11. The prior reading, etc., is in the Roman edition; the latter, *Allos*, *epi tōn ōmōn tēs ōmidos*, etc., from the Basilian codex.

Ibid. Th., *kai synesphigmenous*. A, *metestrammenous*.

Verse 13. A, *sphigktēras* from the Basilian; Coislin. A, S, *sphigktēra*.

Verse 14. *sphigktēra*. So the Basilian. O, *krossōta*. On this word this note of an anonymous author is reported in the manuscript catenae and in the Combefis papers: "We say those are *krossōta* (fringed/tasseled) which are decorated, having the appearance of colors. For by 'flowers' he meant these same colors; for it was byssus and purple." Heb, A, S, *catenas* (chains). LXX, Th, Vulg, *catenulas* (little chains). In another book I found, A, S, *constricia*. These readings are genuine: Heb, *opere funis* (work of a rope). A, S, *opus laqueatum* (netted work). LXX, *opus plicaturae*. Vulg, *sibi invicem cohaerentes*.

Ibid. *ergon brochōton*. Hither, without doubt, belong the versions of A, S, as established by the Coislin, namely [referring] to *ma'aseh chosheb* (work of a designer), but not to *ma'aseh roqem* (work of an embroiderer) which follows, as the Basilian and all other manuscripts have it.

Ibid. Anonymus: "Ac si diceret, aureis filis texta: flores quippe aderant, cujusmodi sunt rosae, lilia et similes."

Verse 15. A, S, *brochōton* from the Basilian, and from all our other manuscripts. The Colbertine adds: *ho Hebraios*, etc. So two Royal manuscripts, one of which proceeds thus: *anti tou dia-*

^A lapidem, opus lapillis coagmen- ^B tatum. Ibid. Σ., ceraunium. Hieronymous on the priestly vestment to Fabiola: "Symmachus differs regarding the emerald, translating it instead as ceraunium." Verse 20. 'Α., Ο., chrysolithos. Σ., iacinthus. From the Roman edition. Verse 22. Basiliensis, οἱ λοιποί, ἁλύσεις, "chains." Ibid. So Drusius and the Roman edition. Verse 23. This and the twenty-fourth verse are contained in the Roman edition; but they differ greatly from the Basilian, and from another interpretation of theirs which is contained in the Complutensian: furthermore, that part of the twenty-fifth verse which follows is absent from that edition; but in the Basilian codex, it is read as if it belonged to the Septuagint Translators. From this point up to the thirtieth verse, five verses are missing in the Roman edition, which are contained in the Complutensian edition as we present them after the Basilian interpretation, beginning with the twenty-third, which differs greatly from the Roman edition, just as the twenty-fourth does. In the Basilian codex, the verses from the twenty-third to the twenty-eighth inclusive are replaced by another edition, I know not which, and are marked with asterisks in the usual way as they were in the Hexapla, and as we represent them. Verse 26. So the Basilian codex, which offers the version of the LXX Translators here, even though that version is deficient here, as it itself testifies, regarding which matter I treat at length in the Preliminaries. Ibid. The Basilian codex brings forth these interpretations of Aquila and Symmachus. We have already seen more than once above that Aquila and Symmachus often translate the term ^C τεκτονικὸν by "joined." A note appears in the margin: "Other, 'dia-zomatos' (girdle or belt)." But it seems it cannot pertain to this verse. Ibid. "Another, 'kataskeuasmatos' (of construct), etc." Here, while they were binding the Basilian codex, the names of the translators fell out, as above. Verse 28. "Another, 'kai ou saleuthesetai' (and it shall not be shaken), etc." The same thing happened in this place. These versions are of the ancient translators, whose names have been cut out. ^D Verse 30. "The others, 'tous photismous kai tas teleiotetas' (lights and perfections). O' (Theodotion), 'ten delosin kai ten aletheian' (manifestation and truth)." So all our manuscripts, some of which have this note: "The rest of those who translated the divine Scripture from the Hebrew into the Greek language and tongue, interpreted 'lights' and 'perfections' as 'the manifestation and the truth'." Ibid. The Basilian codex brings forth this version without the interpreter's name; but it seems to be Aquila. Verse 32. Thus the Basilian codex, which is the only one we have here. Ibid. 'A., 'prosploken' (interweaving), etc. So Basiliensis. — But Coislin. The Vulgate translator followed the version of Symmachus, "ad pedes" (at the feet). Ibid. "epi tou domatos" (upon the roof), so the same Basiliensis, with the interpreter remaining silent. Verse 35. 'A., Σ., 'epi tou Aaron' (upon Aaron), so Basiliensis and the Roman edition. Verse 36. 'Agiasma Kyriou' (Sanctification of the Lord). Basiliensis cod. → Coislin. But this reading of Aquila and Symmachus does not seem to be able to square with the Hebrew word. Verse 37. 'A., Θ., 'epi tes kidares' (upon the mitre). So the Roman edition. Verse 39. 'A., Σ., 'ai sysfigxeis' (the fastenings). "Another, 'oi kot...'." From the Basilian codex and the Roman edition. Ibid. 'A., Σ., 'kitrin' (citron-yellow). Θ., 'hypsoma' (exaltation/peak). Σ., "calls it a mitre"; Θ., "hypsoma," showing that they had the turbans stretched or raised upon the head. The "pilos" (cap) was of fine linen, ending in a point, which is the shape of the heavens. Therefore he bore the name of God upon the head of the priest on account of the head of the universe. Verse 43. 'Kai hotan' (And when). So Basil. Ibid. "Another, 'eis ton aiona' (forever)," in the same codex.

Notes and various readings on chapter XXIX of Exodus.

V. 1. Thus the Basilian codex. V. 2. We borrow the reading of Aquila from the two Royal codices and from the Roman edition. But there the name of the interpreter is passed over in silence: and likewise from the Basilian, which names Aquila. The reading of Theodotion, *anatenoiomenous*, is found in one Basilian copy. V. 5. The reading of Symmachus and Theodotion exists in the Basilian and in the Roman edition. Indeed, the Basilian sets forth the reading of the LXX Interpreters thus, *kai ton chitona kai ton poderē tou ependumatos* (and the tunic and the talar of the over-garment). Aquila also is wont to translate the word *tōn* as *ependyma* (over-garment), as we have often noted already. V. 6. A., *to petalon to hagion* (the holy plate). Thus the Basilian, which attributes the same reading in that place to the LXX Interpreters. S., *aphorisma* (separation/excommunication). Thus also Aquila translates [it] in Ps. CXXXI, 19, and the LXX in Exod. ch. XXXIX, 50. Jerome to Fabiola, *On priestly vestments*: "The third kind of garment, which they call ABANET, we can call a girdle, or belt, or zone. The Babylonians call it by the new word HEMIAN." V. 9. A., *diazōnē 'Aarōn* (girdle of Aaron). Thus one Royal codex and the Basilian. The Roman edition, less correctly, *dia zōnēn 'Aarōn* (by the girdle of Aaron). The Basilian and the two Royal codices have the reading of Symmachus thus: Theodotion [likewise]. Thus our manuscripts and the Roman edition. V. 14. A., Th., *peri hamartias* (concerning sin). Thus the Basilian, which sets forth the reading of the LXX Interpreters thus: *hamartia gar estin* (for it is sin).

Notes and Various Readings to Chapter XXIX of Exodus.

V. 18. From one Royal [ms] and from the Roman edition. Aquila and Theodotio usually translate *pyrron* (reddish/fire-colored), as you may see passim in Leviticus.

V. 20. A., *ton antidaktylon* (the thumb). Thus the Basilian. The Roman edition presents this as a kind of scholion, without the name of the interpreter.

V. 21. "Another," *kai proscheeīs to haima*, etc. (and you shall pour out the blood), etc. Thus the Basilian. But it seems not to pertain to this place; rather, it was translated from elsewhere.

V. 22. *To stear kai ten kerkon* (the fat and the tail). Thus the Basilian, without citing the name of the interpreters.

Ibid. *Ten knemen* (the leg). Thus one Royal [ms], which has *hoion ten knemen* (such as the leg). The Roman edition [has] *ten knemen* only, and likewise the Basilian.

V. 36. A., S., Th., *exilasmou peri hamartias* (of expiation for sin). Thus one Royal [ms] has the fuller passage. The Roman edition [has] *exilasmou* only.

V. 37. "Others," *exilase* (shall expiate). Thus the Basilian, one Royal, and the Roman edition.

Ibid. "Others," *hagion ton hagion* (holy of holies), from the Basilian.

V. 40. Thus certain manuscripts and the Combefisian scholia, with this note: "Ain," a Hebrew measure of wine and oil; it holds, as Josephus says, two Attic *choas*: to whom, as one who knows the measures of his own nation perfectly, we must give credence.

There is no voice of the cry of might, and there is no voice of the cry of weakness; it is the voice of singing that I hear. ^A The Samaritan [text]: It is no longer a voice of a response of strength, and it is no longer a voice of a response of defeat, but I hear a voice of sins. 25. And Moses saw the people that it was unrestrained, for Aaron has caused it to be cast off for a reproach among those who rose up against them. 31. And he returned.

The Samaritan [text]: It is no longer a voice of a response of strength; and it is no longer a voice of a response of defeat; but I hear the voice of sinners. 25. And Moses saw the people, that it was stripped, because Aaron had stripped them for the ignominy of [their] filth, and had set them naked among their enemies. 31. And he returned.

That is: Another says, in art he fashioned the gold, having molded the calf and finished it: since the Egyptians worshipped this, and they called it Apis. For indeed Jeroboam also, after he went out of Egypt, for the same purpose made the golden calves. V. 9. This verse, omitted by the LXX interpreters in the Basilian codex, is brought forward at the margin.

Notes and various readings on Chapter XXXII of Exodus, from the versions of Symmachus and Theodotion

V. 13. [Aquila]: I will give to your seed. Thus one codex. V. 18. In this verse, the manuscripts of the Samaritan version vary greatly. For the Colbertinus and two Regii have "it is not" twice instead of "not". The Colbertinus reads the same, "it is not of a voice." Another has "from judgment" twice, with a double word instead of "answer." The Colbertinus has "judgment" only. The Roman Edition has "the voice of sins," others "the voice of sins," both of which are good. Drusius also suspects "the voice of sins." But it is wrong, for all the manuscripts have it thus. V. 25. We borrow this notable passage from the Basilian codex according to the three interpreters. V. 31. Thus the Basilian codex.

The word [Hebrew omitted] is rendered by Aquila and Symmachus above, Exod. xxx. 7.

8. And every wise man did, etc. In the margin of the Basilian manuscript these things are noted: When you arrive here, you will discover much dissonance between this Scripture and that which is borne in the Hexapla regarding the version of the Seventy Interpreters; and I do not say this only concerning how that [version] differs from this one regarding those things which are marked with asterisks, since even in these matters it often diverges from this one; nay, in fact, it abounds much more than the other text of Scripture [in those things marked by asterisks]; but also in those things which the asterisks do not mark as having been omitted by the LXX Interpreters, no minor difference is detected. For in this place the present edition concerns itself with the holy vestments; but that one, departing from the present continuity,

This is not contained in the Hebrew, nor are those things which are cited in the Roman edition in the same verse; but they were patched together from elsewhere and perhaps from other versions. From here on, however, the version of the LXX until the end of the book of Exodus is either lacking or confused, as will be noted below. ^D V. 21. From the Basilian codex. Coislin. The Roman edition has "willing heart," without the name of the interpreter. V. 23. Thus the Basilian codex brought forward this verse according to three interpreters; it also added a fourth, whom it does not name. Thus it is accustomed to translate Aquila: for so it is below in V. 35, and above in ch. XXVIII, v. 15. See the note there. V. 24. From the Basilian. V. 54. Also from the Basilian. – Coislin.

All these things, partly placed out of order, and partly differing in phrasing, yet in some manner correspond in series. But from this clause it agrees with this edition, though with some slight difference; yet it agrees as far as that, "And their capitals were silvered around." Thereafter, however, it proceeds without difference as far as that, "who wrought the woven works, and the embroidered, and variegated in hyacinth, and purple, and scarlet, and linen." Afterwards, it turns back again to those things which are held here, speaking of the garments of the holy ones, and proceeding somewhat in the same series as far as: "And they brought into it the hyacinthine border, that it might lie upon the mitre at the upper part," as ^D

Notes and critical readings on Chapter XXXVI of Exodus.

V. 8. This notable annotation of the Basilian codex teaches how great a difference existed between the text of the Septuagint Interpreters, such as it was circulated in the commonly available copies, and that which, under the name of the LXX Interpreters, held a place in Origen's Hexapla. For since, even before the time of Origen, the final chapters of Exodus from the present XXXVI to the end (for the divisions of chapters were not of such a kind at that time) were completely confused, placed out of order, and in not a few places vitiated; nor did they square with the Hebrew; Origen himself arranged such a version of the LXX Interpreters, that it might correspond with the Hebrew placed alongside: adding obeli and asterisks wherever there was need. By what method he did this, each reader may be able to discern in the course of the work; and especially in the Preliminaries, where this matter is treated at greater length. Moreover, we have deemed it right to replace this note of the Basilian codex in the text, because it concerns the text itself in its entirety. We add, furthermore, a fragment from that Hexaplar version of the LXX Interpreters, such as it is found in the Colbertine codex no. 3084, of the most remote antiquity, written about 1200 years ago, in a square and round script, without accents and breathings; an example of which we have given in the Palaeographia.

CHAPTER XXXVII OF EXODUS.

And Bezalel made the ark ⋇ of incorruptible woods, of two cubits and a half its length ⋇, and a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height: And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without. 2. And he made for it a golden moulding around. 3. And he cast for it four golden rings in its four sides: two rings on the

one side, and two rings on the second side ^A with belts. 4. And he made staves of incorruptible wood, and overlaid them with gold: 5. And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry it with them. ^B

...[The] Greek, page 188. But this codex presents the following chapters as you will see shortly. V. 35. Thus the Basilian codex. But the other versions, whose interpreters they are, it does not indicate. — Coislin. A., *parapetasma* [veil]. O' [Theodotion], *katakalyma* [covering]. Here the text of the LXX is wondrously confused, as you may see in its place in chapter xxxvi; the Basilian ibid. has A., *parapetasma*. In the same chapter, Coislin. A., *parapetasma*. O', ... I do not know what this refers to: for the word ... occurs often in this last part of Exodus, [sometimes] expressed by various Hebrew words, and the chapters and verses are intermingled. V. 36. Thus the Basilian. Where you should note that the version of the LXX, which is reported first, is either taken from the Vulgate [common version], and in no way squares with the Hebrew, as we said above; nay, it even seems to be corrupted. The following reading also seems to me suspect and transferred hither from elsewhere. The third is that of the version of the LXX which was in the Hexapla, and it agrees with the Hebrew. V. 58. From the Basilian. The reading of the O' is brought forward as it was in the Hexapla.

One cherub on the one end of the mercy-seat, and one cherub on the other end of the mercy-seat ✥ from the mercy-seat he made the cherubim from the two sides (at the margin: extremities) of it. 9. And the cherubim were spreading out their wings, overshadowing from above with their wings over the mercy-seat, and their faces were toward one another; toward the mercy-seat were the faces of the cherubim.

And he made the table ✥ of proposal of pure gold; and he cast for it four golden rings, two on the one flank, and two on the second, ✥ broad so as to carry with the girdles themselves; and the girdles of the ark and of the table he made and overlaid with gold from incorruptible wood, ✥ two cubits its length, and a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height. 11. And he overlaid it with pure gold, ✥ and he made for it a golden border round about. 12. ✥ And he made for it a crown of a palm's breadth round about, and he made a golden border for its crown round about. 13.

And Moses was not able to enter into the tabernacle of testimony, because the cloud overshadowed it, and the tabernacle was filled with the glory of the Lord. 36. And whenever the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, the children of Israel journeyed with their baggage. 37. But if the cloud did not go up, they did not journey until the day on which it went up. 38. For the cloud of the Lord was upon the tabernacle by day, and there was fire upon it by night, before all the house of Israel in all their journeys.

THE HEXAPLA THAT REMAINS: LEVITICUS CHAPTER I

1. And the Lord called Moses, and spoke to him out of the tabernacle of witness, saying: 2. Speak to the children of Israel, and you shall say to them: If any man among you offers gifts to the Lord from the cattle, from the oxen and from the sheep, you shall offer your gifts. 3. If his gift is a whole burnt offering from the oxen, he shall offer a male without blemish; he shall offer it at the door of the tabernacle of witness, acceptable to himself before the Lord. 4. And he shall lay his hand ^A upon the head of the whole burnt offering; it is acceptable for him, to make atonement for him. 5. And they shall slaughter the calf before the Lord. And the sons of Aaron the priests shall offer the blood, and they shall pour the blood round about on the altar, which is at the doors of the tabernacle of witness. 6. And having flayed the whole burnt offering, they shall divide it into its limbs. 7. And the sons of Aaron the priests shall put fire upon the altar, and they shall lay wood upon the fire. 8. And the sons of Aaron the priests shall lay the divided limbs, and the head and the fat, upon the wood that is upon the fire, which is upon the altar. 9. And its intestines ^B and its feet he shall wash with water; and the priest shall place the whole upon the altar: it is a whole burnt offering of sacrifice, an odor of fragrance to the Lord. 10. But if his gift is from the sheep to the Lord:

[alt-version omitted]

from lambs and from kids for a whole burnt offering, he shall present a male without blemish. 11. And he shall place his hand upon its head; and they shall slaughter it at the side of the altar toward the north before the Lord, and the sons of Aaron the priests shall pour out its blood upon the altar round about. 12. ^A And they shall divide it into its parts, and its head and its fat. And the priests shall stack them upon the wood which is upon the fire which is upon the altar. 13. And the entrails and the feet they shall wash with water. And the priest shall bring all these, and shall place them upon the altar; it is a burnt offering, a sacrifice, an odor of fragrance to the Lord.

14. And if from the birds he should present his gift to the Lord, he shall present from the turtle doves, or from the pigeons, his gift. 15. And the priest shall bring it to the altar, and shall wring off its head, and shall place it upon the altar, and shall drain its blood at the base of the altar. 16. And he shall remove its crop ^B along with its feathers, and shall cast it by the altar toward the east into the place of ash. 17. And he shall break it from the wings, yet shall not divide it. And the priest shall place it upon the altar, upon the wood which is upon the fire. It is a burnt offering, a sacrifice, an odor of fragrance to the Lord.

Notes and various readings on Chapter I of Leviticus.

Origen has this note on the name of this book in the Royal Chains (Catenis Regiis) manuscripts: It is named Leviticus because the ritual of the priesthood and the things concerning sacrifices, and all such things as God commanded, are contained in it. The book of Exodus also has God's ordinances, but how the priests were consecrated and anointed, and how the tabernacle was constructed and took its harmonious configuration, Leviticus recounts, as well as many other things. And if it contains other things as well, it is no wonder, for the superscription of each book signifies what is most proper to it. That is: It is called Leviticus because it contains both the rite of the priesthood and those things concerning sacrifices and similar matters prescribed by God. Exodus indeed has the laws of God. But the manner of initiating the anointed priest, the manner also by which the tabernacle was adorned and how it received its appropriate construction, and many other things, Leviticus narrates. And if it also embraces various other things, it is not strange, for the title of each book indicates what is most particularly its own. The same Origen states in the Psalms that this book is called in Hebrew Vayikra.

We have taken care to edit the first chapters of this book, and certain other fragments, as they were in the Hexapla from the version of the LXX Interpreters with asterisks and obeli, as they are held in the often-mentioned Colbertine codex no. 3084. Here, truly, the obeli and asterisks are far fewer than in the final chapters of Exodus, because the text of Leviticus was far more sincere than that final part of Exodus.

V. 2. Thus the Basilian codex, from which we borrow the greatest part of the readings in this book. Coislin. A., S., the others, "offering." So also in verse 4. Th., "burnt offering." In the margin, "whole burnt offering." V. 5. Another, "whole burnt offerings." Thus the Basilian. V. 5. Another, "the son of a heifer," from the Basilian.

V. 6. Another, "having flayed." Another, "he will skin." Thus the Basilian; this last reading, however, appears to be Aquila's. V. 7. Another, "they shall place," from the Basilian. Another, "they shall pack," so the Basilian; likewise Colb. 5084 has this as a variant reading in the margin. V. 8. The Hebrews O', "the dissections." Coislin. in margin, "limbs." And ibid. O', "fat" in margin, "body." V. 9. Another, "the bellies." Basilian. Ibid. Another, "whole burnt offering." Basil. A., S., "gift." Coislin. Ibid. Another, "resting place." Basil. So also below, cap. xxiii, 18. A., S., "resting place," we have restored from Coislin. V. 10. From the Basilian. V. 11. This passage is marked with an obelus in Coislin. 3084 and exists in the Hebrew. A., "upon the thigh." Which reading ^B the Basilian presents without the name of the interpreter. V. 12. Another, "they shall cut limb by limb." From Basil. V. 13, 14. Thus Basil. Ibid. Another, "young of doves." Thus the Basilian. Hence the vulgate interpreter drew it. V. 14. O', "of doves." In the margin of Coislin, "of the sons of the doves," with this note: "It ought to say, 'of the doves,' because it means the young doves." From this, it follows that the reading "young of doves," which the Basilian—with the interpreter left silent—presents, is Symmachus'. V. 15. Thus one Royal codex and the Roman edition. The Samaritan, "shall twist back." The following readings, "shall pluck," "shall make bald": it is not noted whose interpretations these are. I wish you to notice that in the Roman edition and in one Royal codex, the same interpretations are attributed also

to the voice of ^B, which is read in verse 17, below. But incorrectly, as Drusius senses. Ibid., "near the wall." Thus Basil. V. 16. The Basilian [codex], very well, from Symmachus and Theodotion. In the Roman edition, it is read incorrectly, "the nature," for "the bladder," since here it is concerned with the bladder of the throat, not with nature. "A.," [i.e., Aquila], "the nourishing [part]," as if you might say a receptacle of grain, that is, the bladder for grains of fruit.

CHAPTER II OF LEVITICUS

1. If indeed a soul should offer a gift of sacrifice to the Lord, fine flour shall be his gift, and he shall pour oil upon it, and he shall place frankincense upon it. 2. And he shall bring it ^C to the sons of Aaron the priests: and taking from it a full handful of his: of the fine flour itself: with his oil: and all his frankincense: and the priest shall place its memorial upon the altar: a sacrifice of odor of sweetness to the Lord. 3. And the remainder of the sacrifice is for Aaron and his sons, a holy of holies from the sacrifices of the Lord.

4. If however you offer a gift of sacrifice cooked in an oven, of fine flour, unleavened loaves mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil.

5. If however the sacrifice of the pan is your gift, fine flour, unleavened, mingled with oil. 6. And you shall break them into pieces, and you shall pour oil upon them: it is a sacrifice to the Lord.

7. If however the sacrifice of the gridiron is your gift, fine flour made in oil shall it be. 8. And he shall offer the sacrifice which he shall have made of these to the Lord: and he shall bring it to the priest. 9. And the priest, approaching the altar, shall take from the sacrifice its memorial: and he shall place it ^D upon the altar, a sacrifice of odor of sweetness to the Lord.

**Notes and various readings on Chapter IV of Leviticus.**

Chapter IV of Leviticus according to the version of the LXX Interpreters, as it was in the Hexapla, we borrow from the Colbertine manuscript often mentioned, number 3084. But in some places it is torn and at the end mutilated.

V. 2. A, Σ., *in ignorance*. Thus two Royal catenae. The Roman edition attributes it to Aquila alone. The Basilian manuscript, however, adds *in ignorance* without naming the interpreter. — O', *of the commandments*. The Coislin manuscript in the margin [has] *of the commandments*, and ibid., where the LXX has *a calf from the herd*, in the margin [it has] *a bull calf*.

V. 3. A., *for the trespass of the people*. Thus Eusebius in the *Psalms*, p. 586. The Basilian manuscript does not indicate the interpreter.

Ibid. *Another: for the sin*. Thus the Basilian manuscript, with silent interpreter, whom I suppose to be Aquila.

V. 4. *He shall bring*. From the Basilian manuscript.

V. 6. *Another: with the face of the veil*. Thus the Basilian manuscript without the name of the interpreter, whom I take to be Aquila.

V. 7. *Another: of the spices*, from the Basilian manuscript. For ^B thus Aquila translated above, Exod. xxx, 7; Symmachus, Exod. xxxv, 8, and Theodotion in both places.

Ibid. We borrow these readings from the Basilian manuscript, the interpreters being silent.

V. 8. *Another: he shall raise up*, perhaps Aquila, for he follows the letter immediately. From the Basilian manuscript.

Ibid., the Basilian manuscript brings forward the two following readings, *the belly* and *into the bellies*, with silent interpreter.

V. 10. *Another: of the peace-offerings*; that is, A., S., and Th., as we have often seen above, whom the vulgate interpreter follows. From the Basilian manuscript. — O', *of the...*

But the version in verses 26 and 35 in the margin [reads] "of perfection." V. 11. "Another, with his feet." Thus the Basileensis, without naming the interpreter, whom Jerome or the vulgate interpreter follows. V. 13. "The LXX, *he should overlook the word*." This is another reading of the LXX Interpreters, which both the Roman edition and the Royal codices observe. V. 14. "Another, the congregation." So the Basileensis. The LXX interpreters translate the term *Qahal* sometimes as "synagogue," sometimes as "congregation." Ibid. "Another, they shall offer." From the Basileensis. V. 15. "The LXX, the elders." The Coislin, in the margin, [has] "wise men." V. 17. From the Basileensis. "Of them." Thus all the manuscript codices and the Roman edition. But the Hebrew has neither reading. Ibid.

Notes and various readings on Chapter V of Leviticus.

V. 1. "Another, 'anomēma' (transgression)." From the Basilian codex. V. 2. "A., S., 'herpetou' (reptile)." From Isychius, who relates it as follows: "Or any reptile, that is, whatever is dragged upon its belly," which nonetheless Symmachus and Aquila rendered as "reptiles," but the LXX as "abominations." Thus he, who does not report the classes and cases as they existed in the Hexapla, but adapts them to the series of his own discourse, as is clear, just as other Fathers very often did. However, he errs in this, that he thinks the word 'bdelygmatōn,' ("abominations"), which is read in the LXX, corresponds to the word of Symmachus and Aquila, 'herpetou' ("reptile"), or the Hebrew [Hebrew text removed]. For the LXX express these words of the Hebrew text [Hebrew text removed] thus: "of the dead bodies of unclean cattle," where [Hebrew text removed] is expressed by "cattle" (*). V. 4. "Another, 'plemmelēsē' (he shall trespass)." From the Basilian [codex]. O[rigen], "pro ophthalmōn" (before the eyes). Coislin., in the margin, "ex ophthalmōn" (from the eyes). V. 9. O[rigen], "peri tēs hamartias" (concerning the sin). Coislin., in the margin, "hilasmou" (propitiation), and similarly v. 11. V. 10. "Another, 'kata tēn krisin' (according to the judgment), [Hebrew text removed]." It seems, however, to be Aquila's, who follows the letter 'kata poda'.

(*) In this our verse, [Greek text omitted] of the LXX Interpreters corresponds to the word [Hebrew text omitted] of the Hebrew text; but in reality they render [Hebrew text omitted]. The Greek text, however, has suffered some transposition, which the author imprudently did not notice. — DRACK.

See above, Levit. v, 15. — Coislin. in the margin, “he shall deceive.” *Aquila*, “he shall deny,” which reading the Basilian has without the name of the interpreter. Moreover, in verse 5, where the Seventy have *he shall be convicted*, Coislin. in the margin has *he shall be benefited*. Ibid. *Another*, “he shall deny.” Thus the Basilian [manuscript], without the name of the interpreter, whom the Vulgate follows. Ibid. *Another*, “in a matter of hand.” Here it seems to be Aquila, who follows the letter. *Another*, “in a matter of hand.” This is thought to be Symmachus. From the Basilian [is the] first; but the second from the Roman edition, and from two Royal Catenae. Ibid. “By necessity.” Thus one Royal [manuscript] and the Roman edition, without the name of the interpreter being indicated. Ibid. *Aquila, Symmachus, Theodotion*, “he has slandered.” Thus two Royal codices and the Roman edition. On this passage, Hesychius. The other interpreters, Aquila, Theodotion, and Symmachus, where they said [in agreement with] the LXX, “If he has harmed his neighbor in anything,” these rendered, “If he has slandered anything.” V. 4. *Aquila, Symmachus, Theodotion*, “slander.” Thus the Basilian or the Roman edition.

V. 10. *Another*, twofold. From the Basilian manuscript. Thus a certain interpreter, who is nowhere named, is wont to translate the word. See below, chapter XVI, passim. Ibid. *Another*, concerning the flesh. Thus the Basilian, not indicating the interpreter, who appears to be Aquila. Ibid. Where the LXX [has] the body, Coislin. in the margin, the flesh. Ibid. *Another*, fatness. From the Basilian. The Seventy, the whole burnt-offering. Fatness. Coislin. adds afterwards, the ashes, as above. V. 12. *Others*, of peace-offerings. From the Basilian. Thus always the three interpreters, whom the Vulgate follows. The Seventy, of the salvation. Coislin. in the margin, of the peace-offerings, of the completions, as above. V. 14. *Another*, they shall offer. Thus certain manuscripts. V. 16. [Hebrew: *be'e*], the Seventy, it shall be eaten. In the margin of the Coislin. manuscript, to be eaten. V. 17. Of my fire. From the Basilian. It appears to be altogether Aquila. The Seventy, as that of sin. Coislin. in the margin, as an atonement and as a ransom. V. 18. *Another*, it shall be defiled. We borrow this reading from the place of Origen in the manuscript Royal Catenas, where it is read thus: "Some express 'it shall be sanctified' as 'it shall be defiled,' not because of the sacrifice, I think, but because of the boldness of him who touches it. For Haggai says: 'Whoever shall touch it, shall be defiled.'" (That is: "Whatever that, it shall be sanctified, they express as 'it shall be defiled.' Not on account of the sacrifice, as I suppose, but on account of the boldness of [one] touching. For Haggai saith: 'Whosoever shall touch, shall be polluted.'")—The Seventy, of the burnt-offerings. Coislin. in the margin,

^A *offerings.* Aquila: *hot*; Symmachus: *flattened.* Regarding the word *flattened*: in Greek characters, [the Hebrew reads: את האליה ואת חלב המכסה את הקרב, הכסלים, יאכל, איש, הקריב, במרחשת, איש כאחד, זבח השלמים, על תודה, חלות מצות, וסלת מרבכת, על חלת לחם חמץ;* [original-script column: see facsimile].

^B V. 21. Basil. and from Hesychius, who has it thus: "He added also, 'conspersion' [conspersam], which the LXX rendered thus: 'He shall bring the conspersion as morsels, a sacrifice of a sweet savor unto the Lord'; calling the same thing both 'a sweet savor' and 'conspersion,' [and] 'morsels.' And they are understood to have said 'morsels' [buccellas] as something proceeding in a manifold way, on account of the passions, coming forth in parts; but [they called it] 'conspersion' as something gathered into one; whence, in place of 'morsels,' Symmachus ^C issued/published 'dilated' [dilatatam]: but certain copies have *elixta*, that is, 'complex' or 'connected,' because the Lord's passions cohere with one another." Thus far Hesychius, who thinks that the word "morsels," that is, *elixta*, as it is read in the Greek text of the Seventy Interpreters, corresponds to the word of Symmachus; but this is incorrect, as both reason itself and the Basil ^D codex demonstrate: for to the word *peplatumenen* [flattened], by which the Seventy express the Hebrew word, the Basil codex applies the version of Aquila, *zestēn* [hot], and that of Symmachus, *peplatumenēn*. The word following in Hebrew, set in the plural number *haloth*, is expressed in the plural.

Theodotion: *an offering of morsels*. Ibid. Another: *Ereikta*, or *Hrikta*. From the Roman edition. This seems to be a various reading of the LXX interpreters. The Vulgate: *but he shall offer it hot*. These are not clearly referred to the Hebrew words.

V. 1. *Others*: *Trespass offering*. Coislin. in marg., *redemption*, and similarly v. 5 and v. 32. V. 3. *The rest*: *The tail, the fat that covereth the inwards*. Thus in two Royal mss. and the Basilian, which has only the last part: *The rest, the tail*. Others have the fuller passage, as above; but it is nonetheless mutilated there: for it should read, *the tail and the fat that covereth the inwards*. V. 6. *Another*: *It shall be eaten*. Thus the Basilian. However, this word seems to be taken in the active sense. V. 7. *Others*: *The priest that shall make atonement*. Coislin., *the priest making atonement for him, his shall it be*. V. 8. *Another*: *Man*. From the Basilian. Ibid. *Another*: *He brings*. *Another*: *He offers*. From the same Basilian. V. 9. *Another*: *It shall be cooked*.

Notes and various readings on chapter VII of Leviticus

Judges book 1, chapter 19; Jerome book, Hebrew Questions. ^B A name is said to be from the confession of a confessor, that is, of Judah. However, here "confession" is taken for thanksgiving, or for praise, as frequently occurs in the Psalms and in the Gospel. Drusius noted these things.

Ibid. "Unleavened breads of fine flour." Others, small round cakes. Others, round cakes. We borrow the first two from the Roman edition; the last from the Basle edition. Drusius has these things on this passage: A *collyra* is a diminutive, *collyra*, whence *collyrides*, 2 Samuel xiii, 6, "two collyrides"; and 2 Samuel vi, "a collyris of bread," a round cake of bread. Jerome here translates as "breads," as the LXX do, *artous*; but shortly after, *collyriadas* of bread mixed with oil. Similarly in chapter vi, 16, *undecimi*...

Ibid. "Fine flour" [coiled/twisted]. Other manuscripts read "baked." We have already seen above, chapter vi, 21, that Aquila translated "boiling" (hot).

A cake sprinkled with oil. Aelius Antonius Nebrissensis incorrectly puts *collycidam*. Ambrose also makes mention of a *collyris* in his epistle to the Vercelli clergy: "Elias, whom the Lord was training for the journey of virtue, found at his head a *collyris* and a vessel of water." For which 1 Kings xix, 6, has *uggah*. Now *uggah* is bread baked on hearth ashes. Augustine, *On Genesis according to the letter*: "for one peace-offering cake [baked on ashes], which they call *collyra* by another name." — The LXX, "breads of fine flour." Coislinian in the margin, "upon round cakes of unleavened bread," which, as being erased, are doubtful.

V. 13. Others, "upon round cakes of bread," from the Basle edition. Coislinian in the margin, "the rest, of peace-offerings."

^A The same is: a taking away, a separation, an imposition, and the offering of fruits, which are separated from the sacrifices to God, which become the portions of the priest. These readings are taken from various interpreters.

V. 15. The Septuagint, "he bestows." ^B The Septuagint, "reaches forth." A. S., "it is to be rejected." Theodotion, "it shall be a phaggōl" (an unintelligible word).

V. 18. The Roman edition omitted it. A. S., by [the] interpretation [of the Hebrew], expresses the version of Theodotion thus: "it lacks" *phanggous dēetai*, that is, "splendor." Drusius, amazed at such an interpretation, exclaims: "What did that interpreter see, when he translated it thus?" He does not notice, forsooth, that that interpretation of Theodotion does not look to these Hebrew words, as he himself thinks, but to those immediately following. Where Theodotion did not understand the word *gibul*, as is his custom, he expressed it with Greek letters.

Notes and various readings on Chapter VIII of Leviticus.

V. 2. The skins: The Coislin manuscript in the margin [has] “shields.” As above, not once.

V. 7. One Royal codex has it thus: A., the garment, the under-garment, the ephod, the robe. Aquila therefore, who is accustomed to translate *ephod* [as] *ephenduma*, here translates it as *enduma*.

V. 8. Thus the two Royal [codices] and the Roman edition. But in Exodus XXVIII, 30, for the same Hebrew words, the others have *photismous* and *teleioseis*. You may see it there. Concerning this passage, Drusius [says]: “Ezra 11, 65. The Septuagint, that is: ‘doctrina and veritas’ [Urim and Thummim]. Our translator here has ‘doctrina and veritas.’ Which he drew, unless I am mistaken, partly from Aquila (as *photismos* can be rendered ‘doctrina’). Truly, he uses *photizo* for *didasco*, that is, ‘I teach’; partly from the edition of the Septuagint, in which *emet*, *aletheia*, that is, ‘veritas,’ is used, which is more accurately called *diorthosis*: but *thummim* is ‘integritas’ or ‘perfectio.’” Thus Drusius. But I think the Vulgate translator expressed both from the Septuagint version, for *diorthosis* approaches ‘doctrina’ more than *photismos* does. It should be noted that the Basilian manuscript here reads *tous photismous* and *tous teleious*.

V. 9. Others, *kidareis*. As above. But the two Royal codices draw the reading of the Samaritans thus: The Samaritan edition for *cidari* [has] *pileos*. Now in chapter XXXV of Numbers, it calls the *cidareis* ‘lineas.’ I suspect [this] is to be read as *anti tes kidareōs pilia*. We have already seen not once that the Samaritan version, as it is cited by Greek writers, translates *mitzan* as *pilion* or *pileum*. O., *petalon*. The Coislin manuscript in the margin [reads] *stephanon*. Ibid. O., *to kathegiasmenon*. The Coislin manuscript in the margin [reads] *E.*, *agion*: what these refer to, I cannot sufficiently grasp.

V. 10 and 11. We borrow these full readings from the Basilian manuscript, where the Aquila version alone omits the Hebrew for the tabernacle. The Vulgate, however, expresses everything.

V. 15. Thus all our manuscripts, some of which express the three names in full. In the Roman edition, Symmachus is omitted. For it is read A. Th., *hypodutas*, *chiton*. Concerning this word, Jerome, *On the Priestly Garment to Fabiola*: “The second [garment] is a linen tunic, *chethon*, that is, *talaris*, of double linen, which Josephus himself calls ‘byssinam’: and it is called CHOTONAT, that is, *chiton*, which in the Hebrew language is turned into *lineum*. It adheres to the body, and is so tight and with tight sleeves, that there is no... in the garment.”

wrinkle, and it descends as far as the shins. I wish, for the ease of the reader, to make free use of common parlance. Soldiers are accustomed to have linen garments, which they call *camisiae*, so fit for their limbs and tight to their bodies that they are ready for running or for battles, for aiming a javelin, for holding a shield, for wielding a sword, and for whatever necessity may arise. Therefore, priests also, prepared for the ministry of God, wear this tunic so that, while having the beauty of the garments, they may move about with the agility of the naked. ^B O', *kidaris*. Coislin. in the margin, *pilia*, which is the reading of the Samaritan v. 9, where see it.

V. 15. *Oi loipoi*, *periēmartēsen*. Thus the Basiliensis; the royal manuscripts do not indicate the interpreters, but have this note: "The Samaritan has, *and he made propitiation* (kai hilateusen). Another edition, *he committed sin* (periēmartēsen), that is, he sanctified it through the anointing of the blood, in order to make propitiation for them, and that the transgressions of those asking might not be reckoned." Id est: the Samaritan has, *and he propitiated*. But another edition, *he expiated*, or *he sanctified it* through the anointing of the blood, that he might be propitious to them, and that the sins of those asking might not be reckoned.

V. 16. *All.*, *epi tēs koilias*. Thus the Basiliensis, as above.

V. 17. *A.*, *S.*, *O'*, *eneprēsen*. Thus the Basiliensis, which mentions another edition of O'. Concerning this matter see above and in the Preliminaries.

V. 19. O', *exereanomēse*. Coislin. in the margin, *dieilen kata melē autou*. This is perhaps a scholion.

V. 21. *Alloi*, *pyrrhon*. From the Basiliensis, as above very frequently.

V. 24. *Yitrum*, *tous lobous*. Coislin. in the margin, *ta hypsēla*.

V. 25. *All.*, *knēmēn*. Basiliensis, as above, cap. VII, 32.

V. 26. *All.*, *apenanti*. From the Basiliensis.

Ibid. *All.*, *kollyran*. *All.*, *laganon*. The Basiliensis has the first reading; three royal codices have both.

Coislin. has certain things in the text which are not in the Roman edition, or they are transposed; and it adds various readings in the margin, for example in the text *tēs teleiōseōs*, in the margin *oi loipoi*, *tōn azymōn*. In the text ^C *arton*, *oi loipoi*, *kollyran*. In the text O', *arton ex elaiou*, in the margin, *psōmon ēleimmenon*. In the text *laganon*, in the margin, *hapalon*.

V. 27. *All.*, *epithema*. See above the note to verse 14 of the seventh chapter.

V. 28. *Yiqtōr*, *anēnenken*. Coislin. in the margin, *aphōrisen* and for *karpōma*, margin, *prosphora*.

V. 33. *All.*, *heōs hēmera plērōthēi*, etc. From the Basiliensis, which does not name the interpreter. ^D

These readings exist in the Basilian [manuscript]. But the name is Mishael, as another codex has it. V. 6. "Another [reading], the Lord set on fire." From the Basilian [manuscript]. Gen. iv, 10, Theodotion, "God set on fire." Where the Hebrew has [Hebrew text] - The Septuagint, "you shall uncover." Coislin [manuscript]. V. 9. These words, "of those going forward," are shown by Procopius in Leviticus, p. 341, to be marked with an obelus or, as it is stated in the same place, an obelisk. And in truth they do not exist in the Hebrew. V. 11. "Another [reading], I will enlighten." So the Basilian; this interpretation seems to be entirely Aquila’s; for thus in Exodi ch. iv, 12, 15, he translates "I will enlighten." — "Another [reading], accurate things." This is, as it appears, Aquila's.

... Symmachus, to wit, and Theodotion seem to have looked more to the Hebrew word ℵרב than to the sense. For while the Hebrew word ℵרב commonly signifies "a multitude" (*). Yet here is indicated the name of a certain insect. V. 31. Thus the same Basiliensis. Readings from the Coislin codex. These names of animals are confused and mixed. We here collect the readings which are noted on the margin of the Coislin codex, omitting only those which have already been exhibited. V. 5. LXX, the hare. Aquila, the rabbit, which is cited in the edition without the name of the interpreter. V. 14. LXX, the like. In the margin, "into [its] genus." V. 15. The ostrich, m. the ostrich [camelino]. V. 17. LXX, the cormorant, m. the *ton trea* (sic). V. 19. LXX, the hoopoe, m. the *agritectona*. Ibid. LXX, the bat, m. the swallow and the *aphapaga*. V. 22. LXX, the devouring locust, m. the *goba*. LXX, the *attaken*. Aquila, Theodotion, *polun* (many). The Basiliensis on the same verse, Theodotion, *polun*. I rather follow the Coislin, because such a fastidious version as that of Aquila is better suited to Symmachus. Ibid. LXX, the *oriomachēn*, m. the *attakida*. V. 32. LXX, whatever work may be done. Coislin in margin, "in which work is done." V. 33. LXX, they shall be cleansed, m. they shall be taken away. V. 40. LXX, he who eats, m. he who skins. V. 44. LXX, being moved, m. creeping. V. 47. LXX, to distinguish, m. to separate. Ibid. LXX, of the vivifying, m. of the animals that are eaten.

(*) The illustrious Benedictine has fallen into the most manifest error in a wonderful manner. Since *multum* (many) is said in Hebrew ℵרב. It is rather to be concluded that Symmachus and Theodotion read ℵרב instead of ℵרב, and indeed through imprudence. Drach.

Or, as the LXX: *she shall be unclean according to the days of her menstrual purification*. But as to what this may be, other interpreters have set it forth more plainly: Symmachus indeed saying, *according to the days of the separation of her affliction*; Aquila, *of the separation of her misery*; Theodotion, *of the separation of her pain*. We do not have the Greek of these interpretations, with the exception of Theodotion, whose reading—*dounes* [pain], in which word alone those various authors of the versions differ—the Basilian manuscript has brought forward.

V. 4. So the Basilian. But three Royal codices have it thus: *one...* Perhaps it is better read *sitting until the purification*; for it treats of a woman. The Hebrew has it thus: ℵרב, she shall sit in the blood of purification, which [is] not so...

But if the touch has spread in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in the skin, according to all that is made of skins in the work; it is a persistent leprosy, the touch is unclean. 52. He shall burn the garment, or the warp, or the woof in the wool, or in the linens, or in any vessel of leather, in whatever there is a touch in it; because it is a persistent leprosy, it shall be burnt in the fire. 53. But if the priest sees, and the touch has not spread in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any vessel of leather; 54. and the priest shall command, and he shall wash that in which the touch is; and the priest shall separate ⁜ it for seven days.

Notes and various readings on Chapter XII of Leviticus. They agree with the version of the three. Even the interpretation of the Basilian codex is not without suspicion. But because that is repeated twice in the same codex, we have set it down, albeit doubting. Coislin. in the margin, but Basil., others, others, we think it approaches the truth more closely if one reads "She shall sit until the purification." Yet this reading, so restored, does not entirely agree with the Hebrew, where is read: “She shall sit in the bloods of her purification.” V. 5. This is the Basilian. It seems to be Theodotion’s, as above. Ibid. This is the Basilian. See what we have said at verse 4. V. 6. Coislin. in the margin, a nestling. Ibid. Coislin. in the margin, into atonement.

LEVITICUS CHAPTER XVI, FROM THE SAME COLBERT CODEX 5084

^B 1. And the Lord spoke to Moses after the two sons of Aaron died when they offered strange fire before the Lord, and they died. 2. And the Lord said to Moses: Speak to Aaron thy brother, and let him not enter at any time into the holy place within the veil before the propitiatory, which is over the ark of the testimony, lest he die. For I will appear in a cloud over the propitiatory. 3. Thus shall Aaron enter into the holy place with a calf from the herd for sin, and a ram for a holocaust. 4. And he shall put on the sanctified linen tunic, and the linen breeches shall be upon his flesh, and he shall be girded with a linen girdle, and he shall put on a linen mitre: they are holy vestments. And he shall wash his whole body with water, and shall put them on. 5. And the congregation of the children of Israel shall take two goats for sin, and one ram for a holocaust. 6. And Aaron shall offer the calf, which is for his own sin: and he shall make atonement for himself and for his house. 7. And he shall take the two goats, and set them before the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony. 8. And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats: one lot for the Lord, and one lot for the scapegoat. 9. And Aaron shall offer the goat upon which the lot fell for the Lord, and shall offer it for sin: 10. But the goat upon which the lot of the scapegoat fell, he shall set it living before the Lord, that he may make atonement over it; so that he may send it forth for the sending away, and let it go into the desert. ^C 11. And Aaron shall offer his own calf, which is for sin, and he shall make atonement for himself and for his house. And he shall slaughter his own calf, which is for sin. 12. And he shall take the censer full of burning coals of fire from the altar, which is before the Lord. And he shall fill his hands with incense of subtle composition, and shall bring it inside the veil. 13. And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the Lord: and the vapor of the incense shall cover the propitiatory, which is over the testimonies, and he shall not die. 14. And he shall take of the blood of the calf: and shall sprinkle with his finger upon the propitiatory towards the east, according to the face of the propitiatory. And he shall sprinkle seven times with the blood with his finger. 15. And he shall slaughter the goat for sin, which is from the people, before the Lord: and he shall bring of its blood inside the veil. And he shall do with its blood as he did with the blood of the calf: and shall sprinkle its blood upon the propitiatory according to the face of the propitiatory. 16. And he shall make atonement for the holy place from the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and from their injustices for all their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of testimony, which is established among them, in the midst of their uncleanness. 17. And every man shall not be in the tabernacle of the testimony, when he enters to make atonement in the holy place, until he comes out: and he shall make atonement for himself, and for ^D

his house, and for all the congregation of Israel. 18. And he shall go out to the altar that is before the Lord, and shall make atonement upon it, and shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and shall put it upon the ^B horns of the altar round about. 19. And he shall sprinkle upon it of the blood with his finger seven times, and shall cleanse it, and shall hallow it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel. 20. And he shall complete the making atonement for the holy place, and the tabernacle of the testimony, and the altar, and shall purify it for the priests: and he shall bring the live goat. 21. And Aaron shall put his two hands upon the head of the live goat, and shall confess over it all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their unrighteousness, and he shall place them upon the head of the live goat: and he shall send it away by the hand of a man who is ready into the wilderness. 22. And the goat shall take upon itself all their unrighteousness into a desert land; and he shall send the goat into the wilderness. 23. And Aaron shall enter into the tabernacle of the testimony, and shall put off the linen robe which he put on when he went into the holy place; and he shall lay it up there. 24. And he shall wash his body with water in a holy place, and shall put on his garments, and coming out he shall perform his burnt offering, and the burnt offering of the people; and he shall make ^C atonement for himself and for his house, and for the people. 25. And he shall put the fat of the sin offering upon the altar. 26. And he that sends away the goat that is set apart for release shall wash his garments, and shall bathe his body with water; and after that he shall enter into the camp. 27. And the bullock for the sin offering, and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, he shall carry forth out of the camp; and they shall burn with fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung. 28. And he that burns them shall wash his garments, and shall bathe his body with water; and after that he shall enter into the camp. 29. And this shall be a law forever to you: in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall humble your souls, and you shall do no work, neither the native, nor the proselyte who resides among you. 30.

And for the Basilia, which names the interpreters only once, namely at v. 8, specifically Aquila and Symmachus, of whom there are undoubtedly all other interpretations of this kind in this chapter.

V. 7, 8, 15, 18, 20, 27. "Ram" and "rams."

V. 8. A., "One lot held fast, and one departing." "To one held fast." S., "To one departing." A., "To the he-goat released into the wilderness." S.; "To the goat departing." ^B S., "One lot for the leader [he-goat] departing." A., "To one held fast, held fast." Another, "To the goat being released." S., "To one being released." "To the goat being released." Thus the Catena Regia and the Roman edition. Where the interpretation of two seems to have coalesced into one. For the Basilia has it thus: A., [This interpretation, however, so distinct, does not agree with the other placed before it, which Theodoret, the Roman edition, and the Catena Regia prefer, and it has it thus: "A., to the goat being released into the wilderness. S., to the goat departing." But for this latter reading of Aquila there are several [authorities]. But I would prefer to follow the Basilia were it not standing alone. To this place Procopius says thus: Symmachus translated the present passage thus: "One lot to the departing goat." The versions of A. and S., which we gave from the Basilia, the Coislin [manuscript] thus expresses: S., "One lot for the leader [goat] departing." A., "To one held fast, held fast." A., "To the goat being released." These are better and fuller in the Basilia, as you see.]

V. 10. "Another, to the goat being released." Thus the Basilia, which does not name the interpreter: but it could be ^C Theodotion. Coislin. S., "To the released one." The Basilia, however, without the name of the interpreter. In the same place the Coislin manuscript has this whole verse thus: and...

FROM CHAPTER XVII OF LEVITICUS, AS IT IS IN CODEX COLBERT. 3084.

1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2. Speak to Aaron and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: This is the word which the Lord has commanded, saying: 3.

In order that the sons of Israel may offer their sacrifices, whatever they may slaughter in the fields, and bring them to the Lord at the doors of the tabernacle of testimony to the priest: and they shall sacrifice them as a sacrifice of salvation to the Lord. 6. And the priest shall pour out the blood upon the altar ^A in circuit before the Lord at the doors of the tabernacle of testimony. And he shall open the fat for a soothing odor to the Lord. 7. And they shall no longer sacrifice their sacrifices to vanities, after which they go whoring. This shall be a perpetual statute for you throughout your generations. 8.

Ye shall not do iniquity in judgment; thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor admire the person of the mighty; in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbor. 16. Thou shalt not go about with deceit among thy people; thou shalt not stand against the blood of thy neighbor. I am the Lord your God. 17. Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart; thou shalt surely rebuke thy neighbor, and not receive sin on his account. 18. And thy hand shall not be avenged, and thou shalt not bear anger against the children of thy people, and thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. I am the Lord. 19. Ye shall keep my law; thou shalt not cause thy cattle to gender with a different kind, and thy vineyard thou shalt not sow with diverse seeds, and a garment of two sorts, woven together, shall not be put upon thee; it is an abomination.

20. And if any man lie with a woman for the purpose of seed, and she is a bondwoman reserved for a man, and she has not been redeemed with ransoms, and liberty has not been given to her, there shall be an examination for them; they shall not die, because she was not made free. 21. And he shall bring for his trespass to the Lord, to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, a ram of trespass. 22. And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass before the Lord for the sin which he has sinned, and his sin shall be forgiven him which he has sinned.

Its fruit for three years shall be to you unpruned; it shall not be eaten. 24. And in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, praiseworthy to the Lord. 25.

On this passage Drusius discourses thus: *Super domate*, that is, upon the roof, [original-script column: see facsimile]. Jerome in his epistle to Sunia: *Dôma* is called in oriental provinces that which among the Latins is a *tectum* (roof). For in Palestine and Egypt, or where the divine books were written or translated, they do not have ridges on their roofs, but *dômata*, which at Rome are called either solaria or ^D mediana, that is, flat roofs, which are sustained by transverse beams. He writes the same in his Commentary on Daniel, VI. So much for *domate*. As regards this passage, it is corrupt even in the LXX, who read [original-script column: see facsimile], *ἐπὶ τῶν ὀρέων*, that is, *Resch* instead of *Daleth*. Our author is better with *sanguine*. And the sense is, you shall not eat flesh with the blood. Jonathan, you shall not eat of the flesh of any victim, until the blood has stood in the basins. Indeed, the Talmudists note that sacred flesh is not to be eaten before the blood. If there is room for divination, I would think that in the Roman edition, from which I copied this, *αἵματος* (blood) should be read instead of *δώματος* (roof). For *αἷμα* (blood) has no affinity with *δῶμα*, or roof. The more I think about it, the more this emendation proves itself to me. So far Drusius: however, whatever may be the truth of his conjecture, it is certain that various interpreters read it variously. Namely, the LXX, *mountains*; or rather, with no letter added, *high place*, to wit, *mountains*. Others, *blood*. But the former reading is not to be spurned, for here the subject is the superstitions of foreigners, of which one that was frequent was to sacrifice on high places. Ibid. *All.*, οὐ κληδονισθήσεσθε. From the Basilian.

V. 27. Thus we borrow the full readings from the Basilian manuscript, with the name of Symmachus, which was missing from Drusius. The Royal manuscripts variously render the reading of Aquila.

CHAPTER XX OF LEVITICUS

[original-script column: see facsimile]

[index: entries preserved]

^A you shall say: for they have *klēma* instead of *klima*, a slight change; *klēma* meanwhile is a palm branch, *klima* a slope. If we follow the first reading, the sense will be: You shall not surround your head with branches or a garland of palms; if the latter: You shall not surround the slope of your head, that is, you shall not surround it by shaving; choose whichever you prefer. Two Royal manuscripts add this scholion to the place in Aquila: Τριχῶν δὲ ἀφαίρεσις δόξης ἀφαίρεσις. That is, the loss of hair is the loss of glory. We borrow the fuller reading of Symmachus from the Basilian manuscript. There, indeed, to the words τὴν πρόσοψιν τῆς κεφαλῆς σου, the Royal manuscript adds this scholion: μᾶλλον δὲ σισόην, ὅ ἐστιν ὁ κρόβυλος. That is, rather *sisoēn*, which is *crobylus*. *Crobyli* were hair arranged in a certain way not so well known. On the version of Symmachus, Hesychius says thus: ‹ Furthermore, do not cut the hair in a circle, that is, do not shave the round aspect of the head, as Symmachus also published, just as those also have been accustomed to do who study barbarian hairstyles. › In the following words of Symmachus, *tō phath sou*, I think *phaath* should be read for *phale*, so that it agrees with the Hebrew *phath*: for in manuscripts with uncial characters, as all were of old, *lambda* and *alpha* are easily interchanged. See *Palaeographia Graeca*, p. 188, where you will observe the form of these letters is very similar. Theodotion likewise translates *phaath*, retaining the Hebrew word. The Coislin manuscript has it thus: Θ., οὐ κυκλώσετε τὸ φαάθ τῆς κεφαλῆς. Σ., οὐ περιξυρήσετε κύκλῳ τὴν πρόσοψιν τῆς κεφαλῆς ὑμῶν. Compare these with the one edited above, where there are small differences.

V. 29. O’, ἀνομίας. Coislin. in margin, *pāpā* is. V. 30. Ἄλλ., τὸ ἀκρίβασμά μου. Basilian. It seems to be Aquila’s. V. 31. Ἄλλ., μὴ ἐκκλίνητε πρὸς τοὺς θελητὰς καὶ τοὺς γνώστας. So all manuscripts. However, I think it is Aquila’s, for he translates thus in the following chapter, v. 6, *eggastrimythois* (ventriloquists). Coislin. marg., *manteis* (soothsayers). V. 32. O’, πειθοῦ. Coislin. marg., *presbyterou* (elder). Ibid. Τὸν O’, *presbyterou*, marg., *sophou* (wise). V. 33. Ἄλλ., οὐ κακώσετε. So the Basilian. V. 34. *Hager*, *proselyteuōn*. Coislin. marg., *proselyteuōn*. Ibid. *Ger*, *prosēlytos*, marg., *geōras*, *paroikoi*. V. 36. *Tsedeq*, *zyga dikaia*, etc. Coislin. marg., *lithous dikaious kai oiphi dikaion*. Ibid. Ἄλλ., *stathmia dikaia*. So the Basilian. Ibid. The LXX and Theodotion translate the word *stathmia* in Prov. xvi, 11. Ibid. Ἄλλ., *oiphi dikaion*. Basilian. This interpretation had been transferred into the hexaplar LXX version, as you may see above.

V. 5. Another, "after Molech." From the Basilian. V. 6. "To those who know." We have already seen this reading in the previous chapter. From the Basilian. V. 8. "Accurate." This reading from the Basilian seems to be Aquila's, as we have often said. V. 9. Another, "he shall be cursed." So the Basilian. See above on chapter XIX, v. 14. Ibidem... [Greek fragment]. Blood of his in himself. Basilian. I think it is Aquila's... V. 11. "He who lies with." So the Basilian, without the interpreter's name. Ibidem.

Notes and various readings on Chapter XXI of Leviticus. V. 6. "Another," *that the fire offerings of the Lord, etc.* From the Basilian manuscript. This version seems to be entirely that of Aquila, who always translates *fire offerings* as *πύρρα*, as we have often seen at the beginning of this book. V. 10. "Another," *shall not defile*. So all manuscripts and the Roman edition. In the Coislin variant, in the margin, *shall not uncover*. Ibid. "Another," *shall loosen*. From the Basilian manuscript. V. 11. "Another," *upon dead souls*. Basilian. So also the Coislin manuscript in the margin. V. 12. "Another," *from the sanctuary*. From the Basilian manuscript. Ibid. This verse, according to the interpretation of Aquila, Symmachus, and Theodotion, is found in the *Demonstratio Evangelica* of Eusebius, p. 549, where, for the reading of Theodotion, the manuscripts read *the anointed*.

V. 6. "Another," *phagesthai* (eat). Thus the Basiliensis [manuscript], without naming the interpreter. V. 8. "Another," *pyrixon* (fiery/burnt). Thus Aquila and Theodotion are wont to translate, as we saw above on chapter II. Sometimes, however, for this word, 'A., or Θ., is placed in the Basiliensis; at other times, and indeed more frequently, the names of the interpreters are silent, as here and in verses 15, 18, and 37. Sometimes in the same Basiliensis it is written *pyron*, erroneously. Ibid. "Another," *douleuton* (servile). Thus the Basiliensis, without naming the interpreter, here and in verses 21, 25, 36. V. 11. "Another," *anapherein* (to lift up/offer). Thus the Basiliensis, without naming the interpreter. Ibid. "Another," *tou Sabbatou* (of the Sabbath). Thus the Basiliensis. I do not know what the LXX read, who translated *tēs prōtēs* (of the first). V. 14. "Another," *anaxa*. Thus the Basiliensis. Perhaps it should be read better *abada*, "dried up, parched"; which interpretation agrees extremely well with the word [Hebrew omitted]. V. 15. "Another," *aphorismata* (separate/offering). Thus the Basiliensis. ^D Drusius, however, reads with the Roman edition *aphorismata*, and thinks this word corresponds to the Hebrew [Hebrew omitted], but incorrectly: for it corresponds to the following [Hebrew omitted]. Ibid. "Another," seven Sabbaths without blemish. Thus the Basiliensis. In one Royal codex this note is read: *Kat' etymologian tou Sabbatou estin idein, hoti sabachtha kaleitai he aphesis. aphiasi de autēn hieran tō Kyriō, hoti hebdomē estin: ho esti sabaa.* (It is possible to see according to the etymology of the Sabbath, that *sabachtha* is called "a release." But they release it as holy to the Lord, because it is the seventh: which is *sabaa*.) (*) *Sabactha*, in Syriac. Whence *Sabachthani*, Matth. XXVII, 46; Marc. XV, 34. *Sabaa*, in Hebrew, [Hebrew omitted]. V. 16. Thus Basiliensis, without naming the interpreter. V. 17. "Another," *aphairesis* (a taking away/offering). Thus the Basiliensis, without naming the interpreter. V. 18. "Another," *aixa*. Basiliensis. V. 22. "Another," *echthizontōn hymōn* (of you being enemies). From the Basiliensis. Ibid. *To phath*. From the Basiliensis. It seems, however, to be Symmachus or Theodotion, as above, c. XIX, v. 27. Ibid. "Another," *syllēgmata* (gleanings). From the Basiliensis, without naming the interpreter. V. 24. "Another," *sabbaton*. Thus the Basiliensis, without naming the interpreter, whom the Vulgate follows. Ibid. "Another," *salpismos*. From the Basiliensis. Two Royal manuscripts, however, and the Roman edition, add *tēs skēnophēgias*.

We borrow the whole passage, according to the version of the three interpreters, from the same Basilian [manuscript]. The former version of the LXX Translators is that which is read in modern Bibles: the latter is brought forward in the Basilian in the margin, mutilated, taken from the ancient *koine* [text], as we suppose: which edition, as we relate more fully in the Preliminaries, has been restored in many places from the versions of other various interpreters. V. 11. "Another," blasphemed. From the Basilian [manuscript]. It seems, however, to be Aquila's, who uses the same version a little later. Ibid. *naqab* O', having named. Coislin. m., cursed.

Drusius brought forth the version of Aquila from an interlinear gloss in Latin only: Hesychius brings forward a somewhat different Latin interpretation, namely: 'When a man blasphemes his own God, and takes iniquity upon himself, and names the name of the Lord, let him die the death.' But from Symmachus, the same Hesychius [says], 'A man who has reviled his God.' We thought we could restore the Greek of Aquila from the Latin, and we have enclosed it in brackets according to custom; but we have not dared to do so for Symmachus, since we do not have a clear understanding of which Greek word that 'reviled' is expressed from.

Samaritan, of thy dry lands, and indeed that which is left. Thus two manuscripts of the King and Drusius, who not unjustly suspects this word: "Dry places," he says, "are desert and uncultivated places: but what has this to do with the matter? Or perhaps grapes, those of the 'dry lands,' which grow in rough and uncultivated places?" I would believe that either the word was corrupted, as are many others, or that the word for "dry lands" has another meaning not hitherto observed, for the series of Scripture does not allow this to be understood of grapes that grow in desert places. Ibid. Another, the separation. Thus the Basel manuscript here at verse 11; so also the Roman edition. But on this passage Drusius: "Separation," of separation. Hebrew noun: Greek declension, Nazir, Nazirae.

Notes and various readings on Chapter XXV of Leviticus

Naziraia. From this it is, that it is written more correctly thus, than Naziraeos or Nazaraios. For Nazaraeus is something else. The LXX here have "of the sanctuary." Onkelos [Hebrew script omitted], "the grapes of thy gleaning," that is, things left by art in the vineyard. Ibid. "Another, of Sabbaths." Thus the Basel manuscript. It is probable, however, that this word belongs to the other interpreters, namely A., S., Th., as Hesychius indicates below at verse 8. V. 6. "Another, for food." "Another, eatable." "Others, Sabbaths." From the Basel manuscript. But Hesychius on this passage: "But the others of the translators," he says, "gave 'Sabbath' for 'rest'." V. 9. "Another, 'paravivaseis' [passing-overs] with a horn." From the Basel manuscript. V. 10. "Another, 'you shall call dabôr'." Thus in the margin of the Coislin manuscript. Which reading agrees with the Hebrew word [Hebrew script omitted], see

how it is accustomed elsewhere to express the word in Greek letters. Ibid. "Another, 'of the scattered' (paraphorōn)." From the Coislin. Therefore, Aquila may have read [Hebrew script omitted], and perhaps the Greek word *paraphoron* is to be read better. Ibid. "Another, 'Iôêl'." From the Basel, as also verses 11, 13, 15, 28, 30, 31, 50. In the two King’s [manuscripts] this scholion is read: *Iôêl* or *Iôbilaios*. Ibid. "Another, 'possession' (kataschesin)." Thus the Basel. Ibid. "Another, 'into the fatherland' (eis tēn patrida)." From Drusius. V. 12. "Another, 'of the birds'." I do not know what he saw who thus translated the word [Hebrew script omitted], which everywhere signifies *field*; but either a mistake is hidden underneath, or he who translated it thus had read something else. V. 14. "Another, 'let not the man do evil'." From the Basel. V. 15. "Another, 'the one who is delivered up'." The Basel. V. 19. "Another, 'its fruit'." The Basel. V. 25. "Another, 'but if it falls'. Symmachus, 'but if it is humbled'." We borrow these readings from the Basel, and the Latin interpretations from Isychius. We have enclosed the reading of Aquila, being doubtful, in brackets. Ibid. "The *Samaritan*, 'redeemer'." From Drusius, who adds this note: "But one of the Chaldean interpreters has [Hebrew script omitted], another [Hebrew script omitted]. Both signify the same, *his redeemer*, *lytrōtēs autou*. The LXX preferred *ho eggizōn* (the one near), and following them, Jerome, *his kinsman*." This from Drusius. V. 30. "Another, 'a year without blemish'." From the Basel. V. 33. "Aquila, Symmachus, 'and whoever is drawing near from the Levites'." We borrow this version in Greek from the Basel manuscript, but in Latin from Isychius. V. 35. We read the readings of Aquila and Symmachus as imperfect in the Basel. Isychius, however, brings forth the full place of Aquila in Latin, as we exhibit it. V. 36. "Another, 'an augmenting'." From the Basel. The King’s Catenae have it here: "The others, 'no doubling'." V. 42. "Another, 'of a servant'." From the Basel. V. 43. "Another, 'you shall not instruct in it with mockery'." Thus the Basel here and in verse 46. It seems, however, to be the interpretation of Symmachus, who [renders] the word [Hebrew script omitted] *paideueis* (you instruct)...

Notes and various readings on Chapter XXVI of Leviticus.

V. 15. Another: "that they may not be slaves to them." From the Basiliensis. Ibid. Another: "green herb." From the Basiliensis. V. 15. Hesychius has this passage thus: "Therefore, it is found that Aquila and Theodotion and Symmachus have edited plainly. For the one says: 'If you have rejected my ordinance;' but the others say: 'If you have rejected my subtilties,' that is, the way of the field. Where for *agri viam* [way of the field], you should read *acriviam* [subtility, or exactness], or... but this last version is that of Aquila and Theodotion: for Aquila, as...

we have often noted, is wont to translate the word by *akribasmos*, *akribasma*, etc. The other is that of Symmachus, who according to his custom translates it as *prostagma*, that is, settled, precept.

HEXAPLORUM QUÆ SUPERSUNT. Notes and various readings on Chapter XXVII of Leviticus.

V. 2. A., Θ., *Thavmastêse* [Thou wilt wonder]. From the Basilian codex: which is the reading of Aquila and Theodotion, as Hesychius indicates, whose words are these: "On account of which Aquila and Theodotion, for that which was said..., but Symmachus, if he shall have exceeded, have published. For it is truly wonderful, and very close to blessedness for someone to offer his entire self to God." The passage in the printed editions is mutilated, and truncated of the version of Aquila and Theodotion, as is evident; for it should be read thus: "Aquila and Theodotion, for that which was said, *shall have made a vow*, shall have done a wonderful thing; but Symmachus, *shall have exceeded*, have published." For that which follows, *For it is truly wonderful*, etc., suggests that that word, *wonderful*, was in the cited versions, as is also argued by the *thavmastêse* [thou wilt wonder], which we have taken from the Basilian. I also suspect the reading of Symmachus is corrupted, and perhaps it might better be read *separaverit* [he shall have separated] instead of *superaverit* [he shall have exceeded]. Ibid. *be'erek nephašôt*, O', *ste timên tês psychês* [to the value of the soul]. Coislin. in margin, *taxasthai en diatimêsei sou psychôn* [to set in thy valuation of souls]. V. 3. *šeqel*, O', *didrachma* [didrachma]. Coislin. m., *sikloi, stathmia* [shekels, weights]. V. 8. A., *kai ean ekpesê* [and if he shall fall]. Thus above from the Basilian, ch. xxv, v. 35. Hesychius: A. *et si excessit* [and if he shall have exceeded], better, *exciderit* [he shall have fallen], as you read in the same place in ch. xxv, v. 35, among the works of Hesychius. V. 10. S., *deteriori* [to the worse]. Thus Hesychius, whence we have placed *cheironi* [worse], and enclosed it in brackets. Ibid. *ya'alip*, O', *allaxeis auto* [thou shalt change it]. Coislin. m., *epilexetai* [he shall choose]. V. 13. *'al 'erekh*, O', *pros tên timên autou* [toward his value]. Coislin. m., *epi tê diatimêsei* [at the valuation]. V. 14. *To Samar*, *kai diatimêsetai autên ho hiereus* [and the priest shall value it], *eite kalê, eite sapra* [whether good, or bad]. Thus the Roman edition and Drusius.

IN THE BOOK OF NUMBERS Readings of the Book of Numbers taken from the following manuscripts and printed books. From the Royal codex 1825. From the Royal codex 1872. From the Royal codex 1888. From the Basilian codex of the X century, of excellent note. From the Colbertine codex 5084, from which we have extracted some fragments with obeli and asterisks.

Ibid. ^B, according to his seed. m. revenue. V. 17. ^C, of the Iodel [Jubilee]. Ex Basiliensi. V. 21. ^D, the field of the anathema. Ex Basil. It seems to be Aquila's. V. 23. ^A, shall sanctify. Ex Basiliensi. Ibid. ^B, he shall calculate. ^C, he shall reckon. ^D, the end, the full amount. V. 24. ^A, shall be redeemed. Ex Basiliensi. ^B, of remission. Coislin. m., of freedom. V. 25. ^C, the didrachma. Id. m., the weight. V. 26. We borrow the full readings of all the interpreters from the Basilian codex. We have also transcribed the version of the LXX Interpreters from the same; in present-day Bibles it is held thus: "And every firstborn, whatever may be among your cattle, shall be the Lord's, and no one shall sanctify it; whether it be a calf, or a sheep, it is the Lord's." V. 27. ^D, he shall change. Coislin. m., it shall be redeemed. V. 28. ^A, he shall devote. Id. m., he shall anathematize. V. 30. ^B, of wood. Id. m., of a tree. V. 33. Isychius thus renders this passage of Aquila in Latin: "An affinity shall not be effected." Ibid. ^C Coislin. m., "He shall not examine between good and evil, and you shall not change it." And m., "And you shall seek out between good and evil, and you shall not select it."

ADMONITION. Finally, from the Coislin codex of the Heptateuch and Kings, a very ancient one, of about the seventh century. From Jerome's book, *De locis Hebraicis*. From Theodoret's edition published in the year 1612. From Procopius on the Heptateuch. From the Roman edition and Drusius. The one which provided more is the Basilian codex, as usual.

Otherwise, and above everyone going out in virtue. [v. 21] The numbered ones of their rod of Reuben. Otherwise, their numbering from the tribe of Reuben. [v. 45] And every numbering of the children of Israel with their virtue occurred. [v. 47] But the Levites from the tribe of their family were not numbered among the children of Israel.

Notes and various readings on Chapter I of Numbers

V. 1. So one codex. V. 18. "Another, *they were scrutinized*. Roman Edit. The three interpreters below use this word at v. 47. "Another, *they were inspected*. Now, these things are read in the notes of the Roman edition regarding this passage: '*They provided an account*.' 'Axones' were once called public tablets, from which it seems to have been made, *episonousan*, and to mean the same as to assess and to enter a count and census into public ledgers. It is said, however, *epesonousan*, in the same manner as in Gen. vi, *they gave birth*. Other codices partly have *they were inspected*, they have recognized, partly *they were inspected*, they have been recognized. The Coislin codex has in the text *they assembled*, as in the Alexandrian, but in the margin, *they gathered*. V. 19. "Another, *according to what he commanded*. From the Basilian codex. This interpretation seems to be that of the other interpreters, as in Exod. XL, 16 and 27. V. 20. This passage, according to the versions of all the interpreters, comes forth from the Basilian codex. I suspect, however, that in the version of Aquila, *that*, *from the tribe*, had been substituted for *from the staff*, for he himself below...

713 Notes and various readings for Chapter I of Numbers. v. 47. He did not translate the word [Hebrew omitted] as *rhabdos* (rod). The passage of the Septuagint translators itself suggests this, which the Basilian codex presents as it was in the Hexapla. There, however, *rhabdon* is read, which seems to have been transferred here from Aquila, for in the *Koine* it is read: "of the tribe." Ibid. In the Basilian codex, these notes are in the margin: "The Hexapla places the lineage of Gad immediately after the lineage of Simeon. Then it places that of Gad." The Hexapla attaches the lineage of Gad immediately after the lineage of Simeon, and attaches the lineage of Gad to this. This note warns that in the Hexapla the version of the LXX had the same order of tribes as existed in the Hebrew, unlike in the Vulgate or *Koine*, where Gad is placed after Benjamin; in the Hebrew, however, it is after Simeon. v. 45. We have taken this passage according to the three translators from the Basilian. v. 47. Likewise, we have borrowed this whole passage from the Basilian.

Notes and variant readings to Chapter II of Numbers. V. 9. "Another: Counted." Thus the Basiliensis here and at verses 16 and 24. Ibid. "Another, They shall depart." Thus the Basiliensis, here and at v. 16. V. 10. "O, to the south." Some, "to the Liba." Thus the Basiliensis, which has in the text "to the south." In the Roman edition of the LXX Interpreters, however, it is read "to the south." V. 17. The Basiliensis codex provides the readings of the three interpreters; therein the version of Symmachus appears to be in some degree redundant. Coislin. in the text, "according to order," as also the Alex. manuscript; in the margin, however, "according to command." That "according to order" is in the version of Symmachus, as you see.

THEODOTIO. 41. 44.

Notes and various readings on Chapter IV of Numbers. Exodus XXXIX, 34, corresponds to the word 𐤌𐤊𐤄, as also in this place, otherwise than Drusius thinks, who applies it to the word 𐤊𐤐. Ibid. and v. 26. These verses, according to the interpretation of Aquila and Symmachus, issue from the Basle codex. We borrow the earlier reading of the version of the LXX Interpreters from the Basle codex, the latter from the Roman edition. V. 37 and 41. "Another, this is the number." Thus the Basle [codex] without the name of the interpreter, as is common in the preceding. V. 44. "Another, of their kindred." The Basle [codex] brings forward this reading of an uncertain source.

CHAPTER V OF NUMBERS

LXX INTERPRETES. 2. Every leper. And every one who suffers from a flow of seed. The others, and every flowing one. 7. He did. Another, he sinned. 22. Let it be, let it be. 23. Of suspicion, that induces a curse. The others, bitter. 28. Innocent, he shall be declared righteous. 29. Of jealousy. Another, that has been subjected to jealousy.

THEODOTIO. 2. 7. 22. 23. 28. 29.

Notes and various readings on Chapter V of Numbers. These readings are found in the Psalms not once. V. 23. "The others, bitter." So the Basle [codex]. V. 28. "Another, he shall be declared innocent [lit. innocent he shall be]." From the same. V. 29. "Another, that has been subjected to jealousy." From the same.

Notes and various readings to Ch. VI of Numbers. V. 3. A. and S., every infusion of grapes. Thus the Coislin codex. The Basilian manuscript presents the same interpretation without the author's name. V. 5. A., magnifying. S., increasing. Ex Basil. V. 6. "Another," having died. Ex Basiliensi. V. 18. A., the separated one. S., Nazaræus. Ex Basil.

AQUILA 2. 3. Six covered vehicles. 85.

Notes and various readings to Ch. VII of Numbers. V. 2. "Another," upon the numbering of the people. Thus two Regii mss. and the Roman edition. This reading appears to be of Symmachus and Theodotion, who elsewhere translate *tpq* (p-q-d) in this way. V. 3. A., constructors/covered ones. Thus the Basilian. Two Regii mss. have "coverers," and Drusius reads it thus. Another likewise "constructors." Furthermore, this note is read in three Regii codices: "Another, joined (supp. chariots) in the form of a wagon, namely as those veredia (post-wagons), as it lies in book I of Kings." But the Samaritan has "of power." It must not be omitted that the very same codices that have the note in one place, have it in another note in the margin. Thus the Basilian. Regarding "constructors," "coverers": S., "service-vehicles," Thus the Basilian.

Notes and various readings on Chapter VI of Numbers. Perhaps *Naziraeus* is better. V. 19. *Upon the soles*, etc. Thus two manuscripts. Ibid. *Another, to be shaved*. From the Basilian manuscript. Ibid. *Another, head*. Thus the Basilian manuscript, the interpreter being passed over in silence, whom the Vulgate follows.

LXX INTERPRETES. 2. Upon the numbering of the people. 3. Six wagons for service. 85. The one. In the shekel. Alius, didrachma.

THEODOTIO. 2. 3. 85.

Notes and various readings on Chapter VII of Numbers. We have supplied the individual items *out of wagons*, because the manuscripts note those points in which the interpreters differ, but not those words which are the same among all. Concerning *wagons*, the Septuagint is accustomed to translate *wagons* [where the Hebrew has *‘ăgâlōṯ*], the *lampenicae* [covered wagons]. Eusebius Emisenus says *the rolling ones*, which some call *berotia*. Drusius [interprets] *birotia* wrongly. The meaning is: "Lampenica wagons," he says, "which are fitted with wheels, which some call *berotia*." V. 85. *The one*. The Basilian adds in the margin: *silver* (namely, the patella). Ibid. Thus the same Basilian manuscript. Severus and Cyril, above in the note to chapter III, v. 47, say that the same thing is a didrachma and a shekel.

Notes and various readings for Chapter VIII of Numbers. The Basle [manuscript] brings, as was in the edition of the Septuagint hexaplar, where those things which were missing were restored from the version of Theodotion, as is supposed. ^B V. 26. We borrow the reading of the three from the same Basle [manuscript].

Notes and various readings for Chapter IX of Numbers. It is read better *phasech* than *phasek*. For *pe* is never expressed by *chi*, but by *chi*. V. 14. Thus one codex. Thus Aquila is accustomed to translate "proselyte." V. 21. "Another: of day or of the month." Thus some exemplars, but it seems to be transposed from the following verse, where in Hebrew is read [original-script column: see facsimile]. V. 21. [sic] This place [is marked] with an asterisk, because it is missing in the edition of the Septuagint; we borrow it from Ernest Grabe.

V. 4. "Another, 'with one trumpet they shall sound.' So certain exemplars, as the Roman edition testifies. Ibid. "Another, 'the princes and the thousand-leaders.' From the Septuagint, 'princes, thousand-leaders.'" Ibid. ". Coislin in the text, 'south,' in the margin, 'a crust/crystal.'" V. 6. "Aquila, 'a shout/jubilation.' From the same Coislin manuscript. Which reading the Basilian manuscript has without the interpreter's name." V. 9. "Coislin. The Septuagint, 'you shall sound.' In the margin, 'a sign.'"

Notes and various readings on Chapter XI of Numbers

V. 7. "The others, 'bdellium.' From the Basilian and one Royal manuscript. In the former, it corresponds to the word 'crystal,' correctly: unlike the Roman edition, where it is wrongly applied to the word 'bdellium,' as Drusius noted. Thus the other interpreters translate the word [Hebrew], Gen. 11:12, where the LXX translate 'men.' See there." V. 8. "The Basilian codex properly distinguishes the versions of Aquila and Symmachus, which in other codices and in Drusius are thus referred to mixed together. Aquila, Symmachus, 'Another,' 'But that,' 'from honey,' the Basilian manuscript joins to the interpretation of Symmachus: although in the Hebrew there is no mention of honey in this place. But manna is called similar to the taste of honey above, Exod. xvi, where see in the notes.—Coislin in the reading of Symmachus has it thus: 'of the breast,' and afterwards with a blank space left, it resumes from the line, 'oil into fat from honey.' Whence the suspicion may arise that these final words do not pertain to the version of Symmachus."

Another, however, explicitly renders the sub-understood word 'son': namely, 'the son of.' The father's name follows in the genitive case. - DRACH.]

V. 11. A., the wrath. S., the weight. O'., the anger. This is also found below in Deut. 1, 12, in the note. Symmachus is accustomed to translate the word *masa* as *lemma* (burden). O'., the anger. So also the Alexandrian manuscript has it. The Roman edition, however, has the anger, which is here said to be the reading of Theodotion. V. 15. Om., mercy. In the margin of the Coislinian, grace and mercy. V. 20. Thus the two Royal codices and Drusius from Theodoret: whose note is added herein, "For excessive satiety brought on the disease, and to many the plague brought death." That is, "For excessive satiety brought on disease, and the plague sent by God brought death to many." V. 25. The Basilian manuscript offers the readings of three. V. 34. *Kibroth-hattaavah*.

Notes and variant readings on ch. XIII of Numbers.

V. 1. *Marginal note of the Basel manuscript.* Moses remembers these things in the beginning of Deuteronomy: which we translated from the Hebrew of the Samaritans in accordance with the version of the LXX Interpreters, which is recorded in Deuteronomy (1, 20). And Moses said to the sons of Israel: You have come as far as the mountain of the Amorite, which the Lord our God gives to us. See that the Lord your God has given the land before you. Go up and take possession as the Lord the God of your fathers has spoken to you; do not fear, nor be hesitant. And they approached Moses and said: Let us send men before us, and let them scout the land, and they shall bring back word to us concerning the road by which we should go up. And the saying pleased the eyes of Moses.

Notes and various readings on ch. XIII of Numbers.

[The text continues:] ...gives to us. See that the Lord your God has given the land before you. Go up, take possession, as the Lord God of your fathers has spoken: Do not fear, neither be sluggish. And they approached Moses and said: Let us send men before us, and let us scout the land, and they shall bring back to us word concerning the road by which we should go up. And the saying pleased the eyes of Moses.

This note seems to be Origen's, although the Basilian codex, from which we borrow it, does not indicate it. However, it warns that the things which follow are in the Samaritan [text], taken from Deuteronomy, ch. I, v. 20. And indeed they exist also in the modern Samaritan text, and in the Samaritan version, and in no way disagree with this Greek version. With those things, however, which are read in Deuteronomy, they differ only in this, that here Moses speaks in the third person: And Moses said to the sons of Israel, etc., but there in the first: I said to you, etc. Origen, however, says that he translated these things in agreement with the Septuagint version.

[Regarding] the interpreters, what is brought forward in Deuteronomy. But there is some difference between the two, as anyone can see. Regarding the Samaritan text, see the Preliminaries.

V. 22. A., *eisodos Emath*. Jerome, *On the Hebrew Places*: "Laboemath, for which Aquila interprets, *ingressus Emath*." Ibid. The Greek of Eusebius reads thus: *Laboemath*. A., *eisodos Emath*. Drusius reads: *eisodous Emath*. Incorrectly, if I am not mistaken, for *eisodos*. — V. 33. The Samaritan has *Samur.*, *oneidos*, etc.

[Regarding the variant readings appearing in the notes:] Two Royal manuscripts and Drusius have the reading: [the word].

Symmachus: *terastious* (monstrous/portentous). Basil. It seems Symmachus translates the word [Hebrew word] as *terastious*, as if from [Hebrew root]. For he translates *terastia* (wonders) in Ps. LXXVII, 6. See also Ps. LXXVI, 12, and LXXXV, 11. Ibid. So Ern. Grabe [marks it] with an asterisk, because it was lacking in the version of the LXX. Ibid. "Another: we have become." Basil. Ibid. "Another: before them." Basil.

V. 2. Thus the Basilian [manuscript], which has in the text [Greek: ὃ ὤφελον ἀπεθάνομεν], as if it were a reading of the LXX. In the Roman edition, however, [Greek: ὠφελον ἀπεθάνομεν] is held. V. 7. The Basilian manuscript offers this uncertain reading, which best agrees with the Hebrew. V. 14. We learn this reading of Aquila and Symmachus from Eusebius, *Demonstratio evangelica*, p. 244. A., [in the] lowest [part]. Thus also Aquila translates the word [Hebrew: קְרָאִי] [at] Exod. III, 18. [Reading of] [Greek: πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν], etc. From Drusius. V. 30. Another, Except Caleb.

Notes and various readings on ch. XV of Numbers.

V. 3. Another, Scent of rest. Thus one codex. See above, Levit. I, 9, and XXIII, 18. V. 6. From two manuscript exemplars. It appears to be [that of] Aq., Sym., and Theodotion, as above, Levit. II, 4. V. 13. Another, The local dweller. The Basilian manuscript thus offers another reading of the LXX. In the Roman edition, it is read as *autochthon* (native). But either reading appears to be taken from another interpreter. On which matter consult those things which [have been said elsewhere].

Symmachus, *terrible*." [V. 43.] "Another, *with you*. Another, *to meet them, and they chased them just as bees do*." (The reading of the manuscript M: *they turned back*. Coislin margin: *they thrust away*.)

CHAPTER XV OF NUMBERS

Notes and various readings for chap. XV of Numbers. [V. 28.] That addition, *and it shall be forgiven him*, which corresponds to the Hebrew, certain exemplars have, as is stated in the Roman edition, and it is likely that it was marked with an asterisk in the Hexapla.

CHAPTER XVI OF NUMBERS

[original-script column: see facsimile]

HEBREW TEXT 18. And each man took his censer, and they put fire upon them. 30. And if the Lord creates a new thing. 31. Under them. 38. Censer/Offertory. 39. They were consumed. 46. To the congregation.

VULGATA LATINA 18. And each man took his censer, and covered them with fire. 30. But if the Lord creates a new thing. 31. Under them. 38. And let him fasten. 39. Whom the fire consumed. 46. To the people.

AQUILA 18. 30. 31. Under their feet. 38. And let him fasten. 39. Whom the fire consumed. 46.

Notes and various readings on Chapter XVI of Numbers. V. 2. *Another*, *called to a time*. Thus the Royal codex. V. 3. *Another*, *they say*. *A.*, *Th.*, *Too much for you*. *S.*, *let it suffice*. V. 6. *Another*, *thus*. V. 7. *Another*, *let it suffice*. It seems without doubt to be of Symmachus, as above. From the Basil codex. V. 13. *Another*, *from a land flowing*. *S.*, *for you play the tyrant over us violently*. Ibid., *for you rule over us violently*. Thus the Coislin codex. The Basil codex has this reading without the name of the interpreter. V. 15. *A.*, *S.*, *a gift*. From the Coislin codex. The Basil codex exhibits this reading without the name of the interpreters. But all these interpreters thought the word *hamor* (asinus) was derived from *hamad* (*desideravit*), with the *r* changed into *d*. Moreover, this note of the interpreters is suspect to me.

CHAPTER XVII OF NUMBERS

HEBREW TEXT 5. Against me. 8. Almonds.

VULGATA LATINA 5. Against me. 8. Almonds.

AQUILA 5. 8.

Notes and various readings on Chapter XVII of Numbers. V. 5. *Another*, *from you*. Thus certain copies. V. 8. *The others*, *almonds*. Thus the Royal, the Basil, and Drusius without a name: and thus they translate *A.*, *S.*, Gen. 43:11. On this passage Drusius has these things: *So also Jerome. Before in the LXX was "nuts," that is, nuts. For in the census of the nuts [is the] almond. It is said—*

CHAPTER XVIII OF NUMBERS

HEBREW TEXT 2. And they shall minister to you.

VULGATA LATINA 2. And they shall minister to you.

AQUILA 2.

And let them serve you. SYMMACHUS 2. And let them serve you. THEODOTION 2. And let them serve you.

NOTES AND VARIOUS READINGS ON CHAPTER XVI OF NUMBERS

V. 18. *Another*, "having taken," etc. From Basil.

V. 30. *Another*, "in a chasm." This is how the Roman edition edits it, following Augustine. The LXX, "in a vision," thinking it derived from the word [vision], but he who translates "in a chasm" seems to have looked toward the things which happened afterwards, when he was swallowed up by the opening of the earth.

V. 31. *Another*, "beneath their feet." Thus Basil, without mentioning the interpreter, whom the Vulgate follows.

V. 38. *Another*, "to encompass." Basil.

V. 39. *Another*, "burnt." Basil.

V. 46. *Another*, "to the congregation." From Basil. It seems to be that of the other interpreters, who translate the word *edah* as *congregation*, Leviticus III, 7.

5. Version of the Hebraic Text: 7. The service of a gift. The service of a gift will I give as your priesthood. Samar., I will give gifts as your priesthoods. 9. Concerning the holiness of the holy things.

Notes and various readings on Chapter XVIII of Numbers. V. 1. [Hebrew characters]. Where the Roman edition has *aparchas* (first fruits), the Coislinian [manuscript] exhibits *amartias* (sins) in the text, and in the margin it exhibits [the word] with this note: "That is to say, the *ARENATA* (gifts/contributions), originating from the priests, as in chapter eleven of Leviticus." What *arenata* might mean, I am entirely ignorant.

Notes and various readings for chap. XVIII of Numbers. All, however, add this note: "In place of: 'You must guard your ministries,' since the priesthood was given to you as a gift and by special privilege." That is, as if to say, "You must keep your ministries, since the priesthood has been given to you in place of a gift and a prerogative." V. 8. ℶ. — [Hebraic script omitted] — *geras* (prize). In the margin of the Coislin codex, *timen* (honor). V. 9. S., from the sanctified, etc. We borrow all these readings from the Basilian codex.

CHAPTER XXI OF NUMBERS

Notes and variant readings on Chapter XXI of Numbers. V. 1. From Eusebius and Jerome, *On Hebrew Places*, p. 390, where the passage is corrupt: for it is read thus: *Achtharitham, assembly of the spies*, etc. But from a slight mutation and the genuine division of the syllables, you may restore the whole thus: *Atharim*. Aquila and Symmachus: *the way of the spies*. In the Latin of Jerome, however, it is read *Abetharim*; without doubt for *A tharim*. The Latin passage stands thus: *Abetharim*; for which Aquila and Symmachus have interpreted *the way of the spies*. [Thus in a note to this passage of Eusebius. Consult Migne. But rather, restore *Haetharim*; for thus the Hebrew text stands. Drach.] V. 5. "Aquila, he loathes." So all the manuscripts, and both translate it thus; Gen. 27:46. Coislin in margin: *vain, dry*, the others: *light*. Ibid. "The others, light." Thus Basiliensis and Coislin. V. 8. From Basiliensis. But Coislin, Symmachus, *of the height*. We publish both readings. V. 11. "In Achelgai." Thus Basil in the margin, *in Achelga, from the beyond, which is in the settlements of the Hebrews*. Ibid. Jerome, *On Hebrew Places*, p. 389, where the Greek of Eusebius reads thus: *Die*, which is also *Achelgai, in the hills*. Supply Symmachus, *in the hills*; for in the Latin of Jerome it is read thus: *Alia quae et Achalgai, for this Symmachus interprets, in the hills*. For *Achelgai*, Coislin in margin, *Achelgsin*. V. 12. Basil in the margin: *And the Lord said to Moses: Do not show enmity to the Moabites, and do not join yourselves with them; for I shall not give you anything from their land as an inheritance. For to the sons of Lot I have given the mountain as an inheritance*, i. e., And the Lord said to Moses: Do not have hostilities with the Moabites, and do not con-

connect yourselves with them; for I will not give you any of the land of the sons of Ammon as an inheritance, because I have given it to the sons of Lot as an inheritance. And they departed from the valley of Zared, and encamped. And Moses mentions these in Deuteronomy: which we have found only in the Samaritan [texts].

NUMBERS CHAPTER XXI.

^A SYMMACHUS. THEODOTION. 10. Opposite the rock. Another, toward the Lord. 13. This is the water of reproach. 21. And he did not consent. 24. Upon the water. Another, in the water.

Notes and various readings on Chapter XX of Numbers. V. 13. Another, "this is the water of reproach." Thus in some copies. V. 21. Another, "and he did not consent." From the same Basil. V. 24. Another, "in the water." From the same.

Notes and various readings on Chapter XXI of Numbers. V. 15. Basil. And the Lord said to Moses, saying: You shall pass by today the borders of Moab, Arnon; and you shall bring yourselves near to Ammon. Do not have hostilities with them, and do not connect yourselves with them; for I will not give to you of the land of the sons of Ammon as an inheritance, because I have given it to the sons of Lot as an inheritance. And they departed from the valley of Zaret, and encamped. And Moses makes mention of these things in Deuteronomy: which we found only in the Samaritan copies, i. e., And the Lord said to Moses saying: You shall pass over today the borders of Moab, Arnon; and you shall bring yourselves near the Ammonites: do not have hostilities with them, and do not connect yourselves with them. For I will not give you of the land of the sons of Ammon that which is their portion; because to the sons of Lot I have given it as an inheritance. And they departed from the valley of Zaret, and encamped. Deut. 11, 19. Also Moses mentions these things in Deuteronomy: which we found in the Samaritan books alone. We have taken these three verses from the Basilian [manuscript] as they were in the Samaritan Hebrew text, which Origen adapted to this place according to the version of the LXX Interpreters: they are, however, excerpts from the book of Deuteronomy, which the Samaritans had introduced into the series of the book of Numbers, as is found also in the modern Samaritan, where many other things which are not observed in the Basilian are found translated from the same Deuteronomy into the book of Numbers. See in the Preliminaries. V. 17. A., S., Enumerate. Thus Coislin. Which reading the Basilian [manuscript] provides with a silent interpreter. V. 20. From Eusebius and Jerome On Hebrew Places, at the word Phasga (Φασγά), which the LXX Interpreters also render as "the hewn one." Deut. IV, 49.

CHAPTER XXII OF NUMBERS

Against the adversary. 34. If it be evil in thine eyes. 35. Take care not to speak anything other than what I shall command thee.

Notes and various readings for Cap. XXII of Numbers.

V. 1. Eusebius in *On Hebrew Places*, in the Hieronymian edition, page 392, has it so: *Araboth Moab*, where the people were counted a second time toward the plains of Moab, upon the tableland of Moab. Which is certainly flawed, and should undoubtedly be restored: *Araboth Moab*, where the people were counted a second time. A., toward the plains of Moab. S., upon the tableland of Moab. Thus, it is clear that it should be read according to the version of Jerome, which has it thus: *Araboth Moab*, where the people were counted a second time: which Aquila interprets as "humbled," or "equalities of Moab": having this habit, that he interprets "desert" on account of the level, *homalen*, that is, equal and plain. Finally, Symmachus, for *Araboth Moab*, translated "the fields of Moab." This reading is also confirmed by those things which we state below regarding chapter I, verse [xxxi] of Deuteronomy.

V. 5. "Others," Balak from the face. Thus Basil. V. 6. "Others," this one is stronger than we. From the same. V. 11. "Others," to fight. From Basil. V. 22. The reading of Aquila, *Satan*, is translated in Latin as...

Notes and various readings for chap. XXIV of Numbers. From the Basilian. V. 1. *His appearance.* V. 7. Procopius, page 420, notes this: "In place of what is said, 'He shall produce a man,' Symmachus placed, 'waters watering, and increments aiding.' What the LXX, who translated in this way, intended is not easy to divine. But neither do we have the version of Symmachus, whose Greek is lacking, so it is easily perceived. Ibid. *A*, *Σ*, *Over Gog*. Thus the Coislinian. Basil attributes this to Symmachus alone, who has the full reading. And he shall be exalted over Gog his king. And he shall be exalted over Agag his king. Thus correctly from our manuscripts. Drusius read: And he shall be exalted over Gog his king." ^C

Chapter XXV of Numbers

the Israelite man and the woman, through her womb. And the plague ceased from the children of Israel. 9. And those who died in the plague were twenty-four thousand.

10. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 11. Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned back my anger from the children of Israel by being jealous with my jealousy among them, and I did not consume the children of Israel in my jealousy. 12. Therefore say: "Behold, I give to him my covenant of peace: 13. And it shall be to him and to his seed after him a covenant of an everlasting priesthood, because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel." 14. The name of the Israelite man who was struck down with the Midianite woman was Zimri, the son of Salu,

a prince of a patriarchal house among the Simeonites. 15. The name of the Midianite woman who was struck down was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur, who was head of the people of an ancestral house in Midian. 16. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 17. Be enemies to the Midianites, and strike them: 18. for they are enemies...

In the Coislin codex, [we read] *myethentas*—the reading which the Basilian manuscript attributes to Aquila; for it contains the word *amythentas* erroneously, as is clear, instead of the reading of Aquila, *myethentas*.

CHAPTER XXVIII OF NUMBERS.

*Notes and various readings on Chapter XXVIII of Numbers.* V. 1. Basilian codex in the margin. *And he said to him. Your eyes have seen all that he did to the two kings; so shall the Lord do to all the kingdoms into which you are about to pass; do not be afraid. The Lord your God himself will fight them with you. And these things are set down in Deuteronomy.* i.e., And he said to him: "Your eyes have seen whatsoever he did to the two kings; so shall the Lord do to all the kingdoms into which you are about to pass; do not fear. The Lord your God himself shall fight for you." These things also lie in Deuteronomy (III, 21). This passage, transferred hither from Deuteronomy, we borrow from the Basilian codex, with the note of Origen subjoined. Although he does not here warn why he has transferred this passage...

into the Hexapla, it is clear from the preceding notes that, as we warned above at chapter XIII, v. 1, these and similar passages were read in the Samaritan text as having been transferred from Deuteronomy into the book of Numbers. Origen, moreover, described them in the book of Numbers according to the version of the LXX Interpreters in their proper place, as they were in the Samaritan text; and indeed, as it appears, he placed them in the margin of the Hexapla. This passage, however, is not found in the modern Samaritan Scripture of Numbers.

V. 2. בְּמֹעֲדֹו, in his time. The LXX, *in my seasons*. Coislin. marg., *in my seasons*. V. 5. Another, *in wine*. This reading, as well as the following ones in this chapter, come from the Basilian codex.

^A 12. You shall celebrate this feast to the Lord for seven days. 13. And you shall offer whole burnt offerings, a sacrifice for a sweet-smelling savor to the Lord. On the first day, [you shall offer] thirteen calves from the herd, two rams, [and] fourteen yearling lambs; they shall be without blemish. 14. Their sacrifices [shall be] fine flour mixed with oil, three tenth-parts for one calf, for the thirteen calves; and two tenth-parts for one ram, for the two rams; 15. a tenth-part for one lamb, for the fourteen lambs. 16.

Notes and various readings on Chapter XXIX of Numbers. We borrow a portion of this chapter, as it was in the Hexapla, from the Colbertine codex 3084, as it is there with obelisks and asterisks. V. 1. ^D "Day of hearing." So all the Royal MSS and the Roman edition. However, the Royal MSS have this note: "That is, the Samaritan [reads] day of hearing," [and] we find the signification in many places used for the clanging of trumpets. A translator of Origen, Hom. 23, calls it "the festival of the memorial of trumpets." Drusius thought it worthy of consideration, because the Hebrew text seems to require the nominative case. We preferred to express it as it stood in all the manuscripts. V. 8. "Another, offer." Basil.

^A 23. On the fourth day, ten bullocks, two rams, ^B fourteen yearling lambs without blemish: 24. Their sacrifices and their drink offerings, for the bullocks and for the rams and for the lambs, according to their number, according to the rite of them: 25. And one kid of the goats for a sin offering, besides the continual burnt offering, their sacrifices and their drink offerings.

26. On the fifth day, nine bullocks, two rams, two yearling lambs without blemish. 27. Their sacrifices and their drink offerings, for the bullocks and for the rams and for the lambs, according to their number, according to the rite of them: 28. And one kid of the goats for a sin offering, besides the continual burnt offering, their sacrifices and their drink offerings.

29. On the sixth day, eight bullocks, two rams, fourteen yearling lambs without blemish: 30. Their sacrifices and their drink offerings, for the bullocks and for the rams and for the lambs, according to their number, according to the rite of them: 31. And one kid of the goats for a sin offering, besides the continual burnt offering, their sacrifices and their drink offerings.

32. On the seventh day, seven bullocks, two rams, fourteen yearling lambs without blemish: 33. Their sacrifices and their drink offerings, for the bullocks and for the rams and for the lambs, according to their number, according to the rite of them. 35.

Notes and various readings on ch. XXIX of Numbers

V. 35. Samaria, perfection of restraint. Thus all Royal manuscripts with the notes of the Roman edition. But the manuscripts of Cyril ascribe it [to this]. On this passage, Drusius has thus edited: "the perfection of retention or of inhibition, that is, a perfect retention or inhibition. *Atsar*, he restrained; *Atsereth*, a restraint. It signifies a festival in which the people are restrained from work. Thus I say *Atsereth* is a day of cessation from work, when men are free for prayer and divine things. Thus *heorte*, from restraining. Properly and antonomastically it is called the twenty-second of Tishri, which is the eighth of Succoth, that is, the Feast of Tabernacles. Pentecost, however, is also called by this name. From the same thought the ancient Greek Church said *synaxis*, that is, a gathering, and the Latin, *collectam* (collect)."

V. 16. *Samar., dia logou Phogōr.* So say two Royal manuscripts, which have this note: *Tō Samareitikon saphesteron phesi: dia logou Phogōr*. That is, "The Samaritan says more clearly: by the word of Phogor." A Roman scholiast, and after him Drusius, ascribe this note to a certain Anesperos. Namely, the Roman editors, as I suppose, having prefixed a small, abbreviated note to this scholion, thought that *an* meant *Anesperos*, which doubtlessly signifies *anepigraphou*, that is, "anonymous," or literally, "without the author's title," such as many such scholia are found in all the chains. By ignorance of this note, they introduced that fictitious Anesperos into their commentary. V. 17. *’Allos, spermatos.* Thus the Basilian [manuscript], without the interpreter's name. V. 18. *’Allos, egnōsen.* From the Basilian. V. 21. Basilian, in the margin. And Moses said to Eleazar the priest: Say to the men of war who are coming from the battle. This is the ordinance of the law which the Lord commanded, except for the gold and the silver and the bronze and the iron, and the tin and the lead, every thing which shall pass through the fire, make it pass through the fire, and it shall be purified; but it shall also be purified by the water of purification.

ADMONITION ON DEUTERONOMY

Drusius provided very few readings for Deuteronomy, which we here present augmented in many parts, using especially the Basilian and Coislinian codices, which supplied far more than others: although in the Pentateuch, where the same things are generally repeated, and often a long series of proper names of tribes and families is woven, our manuscripts observe many fewer interpretations than in other books of Scripture. Besides the Basilian, we have also employed the following codices and printed books. Royal Codex 1825 Royal Cod. 1872.

V. 1. ^A AQUILA, SYMMACHUS: In the plain of the Red Sea. SYMMACHUS: In the plain of the Red Sea. So are called the middle plains situated between the mountains of Arabia and Judea. "A., in a plain for plain." ^B AQUILA, SYMMACHUS, THEODOTION: Unto all the sons of Israel. Thus also the Basiliensis.

Ibid. ^C AQUILA: His neighbor. Coislin. Ibid. ANOTHER: Inhabitants. From the Basiliensis. Ibid. Eusebius, ^D *De locis Hebraicis* in the Hieronymian edition, p. 395, has it thus: *Araba, Akenomalaeou*. You see the depravation: but the restoration is easy and indubitable, if you aptly join the syllables and render the separated parts into their own words. Thus, therefore, it seems certain that it should be read: 'Araba, Akeno, malaeou. Where you should note that in the corrupted word *omadeiou*, the diphthong *ou* has been made from *SY*, that is, *Symmachus*, due to the similarity of the letters *C* and *O* in Greek manuscripts written in uncial characters, such as were all before the ninth century, as we have said in *Palaeographia Graeca*. Our reading is confirmed by the version of Jerome, which has it thus: *Araba*; Aquila translated this as *plain*; Symmachus, sometimes *campestrem* (flat-land), sometimes *inhabitable*; ^A Theodotion, *western*. For thus those same interpreters are accustomed to translate the word *Arabah*, namely Aquila, *plain*, as above v. 1, also below ch. III, v. 17; Joshua XI, 2; Job XXXIX, 6, and elsewhere, Symmachus: *plain*, or...

Notes and various readings on Chapter III of Deuteronomy. V. 3. Aq., *we devoted to destruction*. So editions Rom. and Drusius. But I suspect this reading, and I opine it was translated here from verse 6, where in the Hebrew it is written [Hebrew omitted], which word Aquila is wont to translate *anathemaizein* (devote to destruction). The reason for doubting arises from here, that all the Royal codices, three in number, which at verse 6 have: Aq., *we devoted to destruction*, have nothing at this verse 3. For those codices, as can be seen in the preceding pages, almost always agree with those which the Roman editors used. V. 4. Symm.; *perimetron* (circumference). From Eusebius, *On Hebrew Places*: "It is called even now 'Erga," he says, "which Symmachus interprets as *perimetron* (circumference)." Jerome, "which is called Arga, which Symmachus interprets as measure." Ibid. "Another, *basileias* (of the reign)." From the Basilian codex, with the interpreter cited, whom the Vulgate follows. V. 5. In the Coislin. [codex] is read, Aq., *erēmoi* (desolate / deserted) (sic). V. 6. Aq., *we devoted to destruction*. So our mss. and the Rom. edit. V. 8. "Another, *apo tou orous* (from the mountain)." From the Basilian [codex]. V. 9. Symm., Theod., *Sidonioi onomazousin* (Sidonians name [it]). All the interpreters...

except the Seventy use "Phœnicians." V. 10. Coisl., *tēs eutheias* (of the straight [land]). V. 14. See above at v. 4. Ibid. The others, *kai tou Machaei* (and of the Machaei). From the Basilian [codex]. Erroneously, as it seems, for *Machathi*, on account of the similarity of the letters Θ and E in manuscripts [written] in uncial characters, such as all were before the eighth and ninth centuries.—Coisl., The others, *tou Machathi* (of the Machathi). Ibid., *Thavōth*. Al., *Auōth*. V. 17. A., *kai homalē kai Iordanēs* (and level and Jordan), etc. Martianæus brings forward all these readings in Vol. II of the works of Jerome, p. 842. Ibid. O., *Machenered*. Another, *Machanareth*. From the Basilian [codex]. The third reading *Machanarad* is found in the Roman edition. V. 18. *Enoplismenoi* (armed). Coisl., *enōplismenoi*. V. 26. A., *hyperetheto* (postponed). From the Basilian [codex]. V. 27. A., *phasga* (Pisgah). From the Basilian [codex]. Aquila translates the Hebrew word *הַפִּסְגָּה* above as *laxeutē* (hewn), Num. xxi, 20. See the note. Ibid., *Allos, noton* (Another, south). From the Basilian [codex]. V. 28. "Another, *proporeusetai* (will go before)." Basilian.

*Notes and various readings on ch. IV of Deuteronomy.* The readings of the three interpreters are distinguished. In the Roman edition and in Drusius: A., S., Th., *which the Lord your God has adorned for all the peoples under the whole heaven.* It is clear that, because there was little difference between the version of Aquila and Theodotion and the interpretation of Symmachus, they mixed them all together, as do the Royal codices. One of these has, *which he adorned*, without the name of the interpreter. The same in another place, Aquila, *for all the peoples under all the heaven.*—*they were cast out.* Coislin, according to the LXX, *led astray.* Ibid. Coislin, A., Th., *underneath*, the rest as in the edition above. V. 28. "Other, *they shall speak.* I know not what he who thus translated may have read: or [is it reading Hebrew]? V. 36.

Notes and various readings on chap. VII of Deuteronomy. V. 1. And it shall be when he brings you [in], etc. This prior reading in the Basilian codex is held in the text. The other, which is now read in the Roman edition, *if he shall bring you in*, is written in the margin of the same codex. In the Roman edition, it stands: *if he shall bring you in*. Ibid. Another: *many*. Another: *strong*. V. 2. Other: *in your hands* (*). Ibid. Another: *thou shalt devote to destruction*. It is, as it appears, a reading of Aquila, who translates the word *cherem*, *to devote to destruction*. (*) Namely, they read *biyad*, or according to the marginal reading, *beyad*, for *biydecha* which our Hebrew text has. Drach. Ibid. Coislin. marginal reading: *miserable shall you be for them*. V. 9. Another: *ye shall know*. Ex Basil. V. 13. Your grain, and after, *vintage*, and then *brightness*. Jerome without doubt respects this location when he says in his Epistle to Pammachius concerning the best manner of interpreting: "But Aquila, a proselyte and contentious interpreter, who not only translates words, but also the etymologies of words."

The Basilian manuscript has the following reading of the Septuagint: "Another, *great and bony [ossified/strong] more than thou*." This reading seems entirely to be that of Aquila, who is accustomed to translate the word *‘atsim* as *osteinon* (bony) or *osteivon*. See Gen. xviii, 18, and Exod. ^B 1, 9. The third reading is the Septuagint of the Roman edition. V. 5. *For the iniquity of them*. The Basilian manuscript thus presents the reading of the Septuagint, while the other—which is that of the Roman edition—it places in the margin. Ibid. ^C *On account of uprightness*.

Notes and variant readings on chapter X of Deuteronomy. V. 2. “Another: And I shall write upon the two tablets.” This reading is in the Basilian text, as also in some other copies. The former is of the Roman edition. V. 4. “Another: In the day of the gathering, etc.” Some copies say this. These, however, are wanting in the edition. The readings of Aquila for verses 3, 4, 8, 16, 17, 21 come from the Coislin codex.

The version of the LXX Interpreters in the Roman edition differs in some respects from that which the Basilian prefers in the text, where it reads *sitting* (plural) in the house and *walking* (plural), etc., just as is also held in certain printed copies. See Walton's various readings. V. 20. Other, *and in your gates*, etc. Basil. This version seems to be of the other interpreters. V. 24. The others, *the last*. Thus Coislin., but Basil, *of the last*. V. 30.

From the Coislin [codex], as also the two readings of the same interpreter [for] verse 16. Ibid. *Another [rendering]*, "let us walk." This reading, which the Roman edition has in the text, the Basilian codex presents as a variant interpretation in the margin: here, however, it has in the text that it seems to be of the three [other] interpreters, as in Exod. iv, 18.

Notes and various readings on Chapter XIV of Deuteronomy. The readings of verses 1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 14, 15, 21, 26, are preferred by the Coislin codex. V. 2. "Another, [he chose]." Basil. This is, perhaps, Symmachus, who translates the word [he chose] in Job XXIX, 25. Ibid. "Another, that it may be." Basil. Ibid. "Another, peculiar." Basil, with an unmentioned interpreter, offers this. Coislin, however: "excellent." So also Symmachus translates the word [peculiar] in Exod. XIX, 5. V. 5. "Another, wild goat." Coislin. Basil. V. 7. "Another, the two clefts." Ex Basil. V. 12. "A., Vulture." Coislin. But Basil seems to refer this to the word [in the following verse], placing before it an asterisk or the name of the interpreter: and this is supported by the Vulgate, which renders [the Hebrew word] as 'ixion'.

Notes and various readings on Chapter XIV of Deuteronomy.

They say "vulture"; but all are conjecture. V. 14. Aquila: "and every raven." The Seventy: "all the raven." *Coislinian*. This is wanting in the Roman edition. V. 21. "Of his mother." Basil adds: "For he who does this, shall sacrifice as if it were a mole, because it is a defilement (another reading: an irritation) to the God of Jacob"—that is: for the one who does this is as one who grinds a mole, because it is a profanation (another reading: an irritation) to the God of Jacob. This clause, which exists neither in the Hebrew, nor in any manuscript or version, is read in the Basel codex in the text itself. V. 24. Another: and the way be far from thee. From Basil. V. 29. Another: they shall rejoice. From the same.

22. 23. (And when there is in a man a sin for a judgment of death, and he shall be put to death, and you shall hang him upon a tree, his dead body shall not remain upon the tree, but you shall surely bury him on that day. For he that is hanged is a curse of God, and you shall not defile your land, which the Lord your God gives you for an inheritance.)

^B HEBRAIC TEXT VERSION. 3. To the slain. 4. And they shall take away the necks. 5. He chose. To minister to him. 14. You have oppressed her. 17. His strength. The right of the first-born. 20. Turning away. And rebellious. And a wine-bibber. 21. And all Israel shall hear and fear.

22. and 23. And when there shall be in a man a sin of the judgment of death: and he shall be to be killed, and you shall hang him upon a tree, his corpse shall not remain over night upon the tree, but you shall bury him in that same day, because the suspended one is the curse of God: and you shall not defile your ground, which the Lord your God gives you for an inheritance.

22. and 23. When a man shall have committed a sin wherewith he is to be punished with death, and being condemned to die he shall be hung on a gibbet, his corpse shall not remain on the tree, but shall be buried the same day, because he is accursed of God who is hung on a tree: and you shall in no wise defile your land, which the Lord your God shall give you in possession.

Notes and various readings on chap. XXI of Deuteronomy.

V. 3. Aq., “slain.” The Coislinian codex. An illustrious codex, of the sixth or seventh century, in uncial character, square and round, with accents and spirits, but not everywhere placed: for they are very often omitted: so that you may sometimes find pages almost entirely devoid of them, and in the marginal notes of the first hand they are never found. V. 4. Aq., “they shall stretch the necks.” The same Coislinian. Elsewhere Aquila reads, “they shall cut the necks.” V. 5. Here the exemplars vary, for some have *ἐξελέξατο*, others *ἐπελέξατο*. The Roman edition has *ἐπέλεξεν*. Ibid. Aq., “to minister.” The Coislinian. V. 14. Aq., “you have afflicted.” These and the remaining readings up to verse 21 proceed from the same Coislinian. V. 21. *Another*, “and all Israel hearing shall fear.” From the Basilian codex. V. 22. We have excerpted all these full readings in Latin only from Jerome’s Commentary on the Epistle to the Galatians, ch. 3, where he also brought forward the Latin version of the LXX Interpreters, such as we give. Furthermore, lest too much empty space be left, we have harmonized the Greek from the Latin according to the custom of translating.

CHAPTER XXI OF DEUTERONOMY.

^{A B C D} [The text occupies three parallel columns for the three translators: Symmachus, the LXX, and Theodotion. The content is essentially a synoptic comparison of their variant readings for Deuteronomy 21:3–5, 14, 17, 20–21, 22–23.]

Notes and various readings on chapter XXI of Deuteronomy.

...of the three interpreters, and we have enclosed them in brackets, lest anyone should think them taken from elsewhere. Moreover, Jerome continues after having presented the version of the four interpreters: "Furthermore, *ADAMA*, meaning earth or humus, is so called in the Hebrew language. In that place, however, where Aquila and Theodotion have translated similarly, saying: 'Because the one who is hanged is the curse of God,' in Hebrew it is put thus: CHI CALALATI ELOIM THALUI. This phrase Ebion, that semi-Christian, semi-Jewish heresiarch, interpreted as: ὅτι ὕβρις Θεοῦ ὁ κρεμάμενος, that is, 'because the one who is hanged is an injury to God.' I remember having found in the disputation of Jason and Papiscus, which is written in the Greek language, the following: λοιδορία Θεοῦ ὁ κρεμάμενος, that is, 'the curse of God is he who is hanged.' A Hebrew, who instructed me in the Scriptures to no small degree, told me that it could also be read: 'Because God was contumeliously hanged.' We have gathered these things because this is a most famous question, and it is often thrown at us by the Jews as a matter of madness, that our Savior and Lord was under the curse of God. First, therefore, it must be considered that not everyone who has hanged on a tree is cursed before God, but only the one who has sinned and, on account of a crime, has been adjudged to death and lifted up onto a cross, etc."

Notes and various readings on Chapter XXIV of Deuteronomy. "Thou shalt not glean," for a *phyllis* is a small cluster of grapes, or the falling berries found under the leaves. That is: Aquila says, "thou shalt not glean." For a *phyllis* is a small cluster, or dropping grapes that are found under the leaves. Here Drusius notes: "Epi-phyllin, a small raceme which lies hidden under the leaves, or lies beneath a large raceme: likewise, the gleaning in Obad. 5. Hence the verb *epiphyllizein*, to glean; which the Seventy also used in Lamentations 1:22, *epiphyllison autois*, glean for them. The old lexicon: *epiphyllis*, a raceme. In Obad. 5, for *epiphyllin*, which they render as gleaning, see whether it should be read *epiphyllidas*, that is, racemes: just as Jerome also translated, and the Hebrew truth has *‘ôlēlôt*."

Notes and various readings on chap. XXVI of Deuteronomy. V. 13. "A., *I have chosen*." Symmachus and Theodotion translated the word *bi'arti* as *epilexeis* [and you shall choose/select], see above XXIV, 7. V. 14. "A., *in my mourning*." From the Coislin [manuscript]. The same interpreter translates the word *be-onì* [in my sorrow or mourning] as *en en dype mou* [in my mourning]. Gen. XLVI, 3, he translates *re'shyth oní* as *arkhē lypēs* [beginning of sorrow]. Ibid. S., *en penthei mou*. [According to the] Coislin [manuscript], which version the Vulgate follows: *in luctu* [in mourning].

*Notes and various readings on chapter XXVIII of Deuteronomy* V. 1. "Another: take heed." Basil.

V. 15. "Another: if you should hear by hearing." From the same. Ibid. "And the," etc. From Ern. Grabe. Ibid. "Another: to you." Basil. V. 20. The Coislin codex has: "A., scarcity and phagedaena," better than Basil; "A., scarcity and phagedaena. S., the shortage." Thus all the Royal MSS, Basil and Drusius, who holds only the reading of Symmachus. — The LXX "one." In the margin of the Coislin codex, "it shall dry up." V. 21. "A., pestilence." The same interpreter translates the word *deber* as pestilence, Exod. ix, 5 and 15. V. 22. "A., with inflammation. S., Th., with burning." From Basil. V. 23. "A., shattering. S., turning. From the same Basil. See Exod. ix, 14. Thus translates Symmachus, II Kings xi, 17. — The Coislin codex has, "S., Th., Shepherd." V. 25. "Another: driving away." Thus the Roman edition, silently passing over the interpreter, whom the Vulgate follows. V. 27. "S., into the hidden things." From Basil, as are the following readings, except for those we have taken from the Coislin codex. The Roman edition has "to the throne." — Coislin. "S., itch."

Ibid. "Another," in panic. From Basil.

V. 32. "Another," they are lifted up. Thus Basil.

Ibid. Coislin.

V. 34. S., wavering. Thus Coislin. But the Basilian without the name of the interpreter.

V. 4. *Coislin.* has *A., hypomata* (“heights”), most correctly; for the Hebrew word is plural. Others, *hypsoma*. We have borrowed the readings of Aquila for verses 2, 4, 6 (the first and second), 10 (the second), 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18, 21, 24, 25, 30, 33, 35, 41, 42 (the second), 50, 51 from the Coislin manuscript. V. 4. In the Basilean [manuscript]. In the published [editions] *‘en auto* is wanting. But in the Old Itala it was read: *there is no iniquity in him.* V. 40. *A., O., found him as a grape in the wilderness.* Thus, however, one Royal [manuscript] of the eleventh century has it; the LXX, *sufficed him in the desert.* Theodotion, however, seems to have read *found him as a grape in the wilderness.* Unless perhaps one might say that this version was translated hither from Hosea ix, 10, where it is thus read in Hebrew: *I found Israel like a grape in the desert.* [The Coislin manuscript exhibits the spelling *heuren* for Aquila’s reading. For such form, consult the Thesaurus of Stephanus recently published by M. Didot. DRACH.] V. 5. *A., they destroyed him,* etc. Drusius presents these readings of Aquila and Symmachus after the Roman edition: *Vetus Itala: they have sinned, not toward him his children stained.* Thus the Basilean [manuscript], which, however, has it erroneously: *A., sons of Israel.* Royal Mss. and Drusius: *A., S., Th.,* and the Roman Scholiast: *according to the number of the sons of God.* Thus the other interpreters have given it, *according to the number of the sons of Israel.* For it is usual for such scholiasts, when there is little difference of importance, to report them all together, neglecting the small variety of readings. All the Royal codices add the Samaritan as the other three have given it. — *Coislin.* Ibid. *A., in a vacuum of howling*... *in a waste, uninhabited, destroyed:* — *Dieis. Diistas.* ^C *A., upon the height of the land he made them ascend;* the three Royal codices. The word *A.* often translates as *hypsoma*. Thus 1 Kings ix, 22.

HEXAPLA THAT REMAIN. CHAPTER XXXIV OF DEUTERONOMY.

[original-script column: see facsimile]

ADMONITION ON THE BOOK OF JOSHUA

The Basel Codex, of which we have spoken frequently above, provided us with a great number of readings from the Book of Joshua; by its help, it is also generally determined from which interpreter or interpreters those things originate which are marked with asterisks in the edition of the 70 interpreters of the Hexapla. For even if they were mostly taken from Theodotion, yet sometimes they were adopted as taken from others also, namely Aquila, or Symmachus, or from all of them at once. Besides the Basel Codex, the following manuscript and also printed books were of assistance: Codex Regius 1825. Cod. Reg. 1872. Cod. Reg. 1888. Eusebius and Jerome on Hebrew places. Theodoret, published in the year 1642.

Notes and various readings for Chapter XXXIV of Deuteronomy: — *chelōnia* (lips). — Ibid. The others, "his jaw." Thus the Basilian [manuscript]. — V. 8. See Num. 22:1. — V. 9. *Hokhmah* (wisdom). The Septuagint, "of understanding." Coislin marginal note, "of wisdom." — V. 12. "Another," in the presence of. Basilian [manuscript].

Procopius on the Heptateuch. Andreas Masius on Joshua. Jo. Ernesti Grabe’s edition. Notes of the Roman edition and Drusius. Furthermore, the learned reader will often observe no small difference between those things which Masius and Grabe denote with asterisks, and those which are found in the Basilian manuscript. But what the cause of such variety is, has been investigated in the Preliminaries.

(Editorial note: The notes and various readings which Montfaucon subsequently extracted from the Coislin codex, we have restored each to its proper place.)

Symmachus: 1. After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord spoke. 2. 4. Septuagint: 1. And it came to pass after the death of Moses, the Lord spoke. To the minister.

Notes and various readings on Chapter I of Josue. Interpretation. σ', minister. In the margin of the Coislinianus, minister, it is added there also, the LXX, land, the siglum of whose note see in Jud. 1, 14, in the note, and in the Preliminaries, chapter x, number 4, at the letter n. These furthermore are marginal notes. In the Coislinianus, they are for the most part found in the text of the Alexandrinus.

V. 2. *Oi loipoi*, "this Jordan." Thus the Basiliensis: that is, *touton*, which Masius places with an asterisk. V. 3. *0'*, "your feet." Coislin. marg., *Th.*, "upon it." V. 4. *All.*, "all the land of the Hittite." For the Basiliensis. Masius, however, places with an asterisk, "all the land of the Hittites." I do not know whence he fished it out: for the Greek interpreters are accustomed to express *Hittite* by prefixing *chi*, i.e., *Hettaion*. Coislin. *0'*, "the Antilibanus," marg., *oi loip.*, "that." Ibid. Id. *oi loip.*, "all the land of the Hittite." We have often warned that that note *oi loip.*, which occurs here and there, is not always to be understood as applying to all the remaining interpreters, but is also used where either two, or even one interpreter, provides the reading which is proposed. V. 5. *All.*, "no one against your face." Thus the Basiliensis.

V. 6. *All.*, "you shall divide." *All.*, "you shall distinguish." Basiliensis. In the Roman edition these readings are annotated. The Alexandrinus codex has *apodiastelleis*. V. 7. *Andrizou*. The Basiliensis adds to the margin *sphodra*, "exceedingly." Masius likewise and Grabe have it with an asterisk. Ibid. *Oi loipoi*, "according to all the law." So Basil. Masius, however, and Grabe place it with an asterisk. It is probable that the seventy elders expressed all the Hebrew words which we have brought forth, *kathoti eneteilato* ("as he commanded"): but that Origen supplied other things from the three interpreters with an asterisk; for in all these things which are noted with an asterisk, it seems more to pay regard to the words than to the sense. Ibid. *All.*, "you shall walk." Basiliensis. Ibid. Coislin. *0'*, "be strong," marg., *Th.*, *oi loip.*, "exceedingly." Ibid. in the text, "or to the left," marg., *Th.*, "neither." Ibid. Id. *0'*, "you shall walk." *Th.*, "you shall do." V. 8. *All.*, "that you may be wise in all things." These are all the readings.

Coislin. *0'*, "he gave to you"; *m.*, "the others," "Moses beyond the Jordan." V. 15. *All.*, "and you shall inherit it." So the Basle codex and Masius with an asterisk. Ibid. *All.*, "the servant of the Lord." This version is perhaps that of Symmachus, as above in v. 1. Masius and Grabe have with an asterisk, "the boy of the Lord." Ibid. Coislin. *0'*, "Moses"; *m.*, "the others," "servant of the Lord." V. 17. *0'*, "we have heard Moses." Coislin. *m.*, "the others," "thus."

V. 3. Another: men. Basilian. Ibid. Another: those who have entered unto you, who have come into your house. From the Basilian; and so likewise Grabe with an asterisk. Masius, however, reads: those who have entered unto you, who have come into the house. — The rest: unto you, who have come. V. 4. Theodotion: and I knew not whence they were. From the same Basilian; Masius reads with an asterisk: and I knew not whence they were. V. 5. Another adds: quickly. So the Basilian, and in the same way Masius with an asterisk. — Coislin. O', pursue [quickly], the rest: quickly. — V. 6. Another: upon the stalks of flax. So the Basilian. Ibid. Coislin. m., Theodotion: upon the wood, only. V. 7. Another: and they shut the door, etc. These things [are from] Drusius, which agree word for word with the Hebrew. V. 9. We borrow the reading of Aquila and Symmachus from the Basilian, that of Theodotion from Drusius, which the latter also exhibits with Masius, with an asterisk. Ibid. Coislin.

Grabe, however: "if you do not report this matter of yours." Ibid. "And it shall be as the Lord delivers to us," etc. From the Basiliensis. These also are wanting in the LXX, and in their place is put: "And she said, As the Lord delivers the city to you, show me mercy and truth." i.e., And she said, as the Lord shall have delivered the city to you, show mercy and truth to me. Ibid. Coislin. m., "the others," if you do not report this matter, and it shall be as the Lord delivers the city to us, you shall do with you [sic], which [is] with a silent interpreter in the Basiliensis. V. 15. Theodotion, "in a rope." "Another," "in a cord." So Basil. Masius also reads "in a rope," with an asterisk. ^A For in the *O* it is wanting. Coislin. m., "the others," "and her house was in the wall, and she was sitting in the wall." Ibid. Theodotion, "that her house was in the wall, and she was sitting in the wall." Basil. Masius, for "was sitting," puts "was dwelling." V. 17. The others, "by which you swore to us." Basiliensis. V. 21. "Another," "and they bound the red sign in the window." From the Basil. Masius and Grabe better, "and she bound." ^B V. 23. "Another," "until the pursuers returned." Basil. Masius and Grabe, "the pursuing ones." V. 23. "End of three days," and afterwards, "the Jordan." Those things which are brought forward in the Basiliensis are not extant in the Hebrew. Coislin. m., "the others," "the Jordan, and they came." V. 24. O', "the Lord."

Notes and various readings on Chapter IV of Joshua V. 11. Theodotion, and the priests first. From Basil. The LXX interpreters who translate as "stones" seem to have read *ebanim* instead of *priests*. Coislin., "the others," and the priests first. V. 12. Another, equipped [with arms]. Thus the Basiliensis [manuscript], without the name of the interpreter whom the Vulgate follows. However, as Coislin. testifies, it is Aquila, who in Exodus XIII, 18 translated "equipped," or perhaps better "armed," as here. V. 13. [Aquila], Arboth Jericho, etc. Drusius presents these readings. V. supra, ch. II, v. 1. V. 17. Another, out of the midst of the Jordan. Basil. V. 18. Another, on dry land. From Basil. V. 21. Another, and he said to the sons of Israel. From Basil.

Basil. So also Masius and Grabe read. The Roman edition, "in work." Coislin. in the text, "at all times," and in the margin, "the others," "all," by which he signifies that all the other interpreters have "at all times."

Another: and this is the people whom Joshua circumcised, all the people who were coming out of Egypt, the male [part], all the men of war, who had died in the wilderness on the way, when they had come out from the land of Egypt. Because all the people who had come out were circumcised, and all the people who were born in the wilderness, on the way, when they had come out from the land of Egypt, they were not circumcised. 7. Because of them being born in the way, uncircumcised. 9. Vacat. Another, until this day.

LXX INTERPRETERS 1. Vacat. Others, by the sea. 4-6. These all Joshua circumcised. Another, and this people whom Joshua circumcised, all the people who had come out of Egypt of the masculine gender, all the men of war who had died in the desert on the way, when they had come out from the land of Egypt; because all the people who had gone out were circumcised, and all the people who were born in the desert, on the way, when they had come out from the land of Egypt, had not been circumcised. 7.

V. 1. *All.*, "beside the sea." So Basil. Also Masius and Grabe with an asterisk. — *Coislin.*, for *others*. V. 4-6. We borrow this whole passage, where the LXX are missing, from the Basel manuscript. Drusius also brings it forward, but in some respects it is different and not infrequently mutilated, as it was in the notes of the Roman edition. Masius follows the Complutensian, with asterisks added, as does Grabe. V. 5. *Coislin.* in the margin, "and this word." *Ibid.* *Id.* The LXX, "it has been turned," etc. V. 6. The LXX, "the disobedient," etc. On these words it is noted in the margin of the *Coislin.*, "in other copies: as the rest of the translators have rendered it, these things are carried." V. 7. "That they were uncircumcised." So Basil and Drusius. However, this version of Theodotion corresponds only to these Hebrew words: "because they were uncircumcised." Masius and Grabe [place] these with an asterisk. V. 9 and 10. Here the LXX are missing in the Roman edition. However, the Basel [manuscript] gives warning [about] these in the edition.

But Masius: "once," as it is in the following reading. Ibid. "Another: and you shall encompass," etc. From Basil. Masius brings forward the same with asterisks, but with some difference. In the Ern. edition, Grabe clearly sees that some things are missing here. Ibid. "Aquila: trumpets of release." Symmachus: "horn-trumpets." Drusius in Latin: Aquila, "trumpets of remission"; Symmachus, "ram's horns." Ibid. "Men of war." Coislin. in the text, "fighters"; *m.*, "warlike men." V. 5. "Another: of the jubilee," etc. From the Basilian edition. So too Masius and Grabe with an asterisk. Coislin. *m.*, "of the jubilee," etc. Ibid. "Another: underneath them." Basilian. Masius and Grabe have this reading with an asterisk. But the reading "they of their own accord," which is that of the LXX Interpreters, seems to be another interpretation of the word "underneath," for it rarely happens that a reading already translated is brought forward again in another interpretation with an asterisk. V. 6. "Another: and he said to them," etc. From Basil. Drusius and Grabe have these with an asterisk. Coislin. *m.*, "the rest," "and said to them, Take the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests take seven jubilee trumpets before the ark of the Lord, and let all the men of war march around the city once.

Notes and various readings on Chapter VIII of Joshua

V. 1. *Kai tēn gēn*, etc., from the Coislin [codex]. Ibid. "Another, *kai ton laon* [and the people], etc.," Basil., so Masius and Grabe with an asterisk. V. 2. "Another, *kai tō basilei autēs*." Basil. and Grabe with an asterisk. V. 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13. All these are supplied in the Coislinian and Basilian codices from another interpreter, and for the most part from Theodotion, as also elsewhere throughout the book of Joshua, where the Septuagint frequently fails. Masius, Grabe, and Coislin. with asterisks. At verse 7, Grabe reads *ekthripsete*. And at verse 8, Masius and Grabe, *emprēsate*. Basil., *emprēsate*. At verse 12, Basil., *Bēthaun*. Masius, Grabe, *Baithēl*. V. 14. "Another, *eis ton kairon kata prosōpon Rhaba*." Masius, *kata prosōpon tēs Arabah*, reads likewise, and also Grabe. V. 15, 17. The defects of the Septuagint Translators are supplied from the Basilian. V. 18. "A., *syn tō gesō*. S., *syn tē aspidi*." Thus the three Royal [codices], which have this note from Didymus: The lexicographer Diogenianus says it is an *embolion* (a tip) made entirely of iron; others say a javelin; the Romans, a *hyssos*. Id est, it was weapons not like javelins which the Romans call... Hesychius also, *embolion holosidēron*. Pollux, *dory holosidēron*. And Appianus, *De Celtis*, c. 1. *ta de dora...* Procopius on this passage: Symmachus says it was with a shield; another, with a staff. Others, however, with an iron strap. In the Iberian tongue, *acontion*, which the Romans call *gaesum*. Nor should those things be passed over ^{B C D}

Another: "Until the time of evening." "Into the pit." Another: * "At the gate of the city." 31. "It was not cast upon them." 34. "In the law of Moses." Another: "In the book of the law of Moses." 35.

LXX INTERPRETERS. 26. Vacat [Nothing]. 26. Another: And Jesus [Joshua] did not withdraw his hand, which he had extended in the spear, until he had anathematized all the inhabitants of Gai. 29. Until evening. Another: until the time of evening. Into the pit. Another adds: * at the * gate of the city. 31. It was not cast upon them. 34. In the law of Moyses. Another: in the book of the law of Moyses. 35. Moyses to Jesu. Another: the same. Another: the Lord to Jesu.

Notes and various readings on Chapter VIII of Joshua, which Drusius has in this place. Symm., *aspis* (shield). Similarly also Josephus. 1 Sam. XVII, 6, [Hebrew: *kidon*], LXX, *aspis*. Hieronymus, *Clypeus* (shield). Glossary of proper names: *Chidon*, a dart. Here the LXX render: *en gaisō* (in the spear). Theodoret interprets *gaison* as *aspis* (shield), as does Symmachus likewise. *De gaiso* alias. The Chaldean interpreter translates [Hebrew: *ridon*], that is, a spear, or a lance. The Latin version, which we call the Vulgate, says *clypeum*. Jesus Sirach: *romphaian* (sword), *frameam*. The old law: *romphaia*, *framea*, *gladius* (sword). There are those who interpret *romphaia* as *gladium*; such is the use of this word in Ennius. Hesychius: *romphaia*, *machaira* (knife), *xiphos* (sword), or *akontion makron* (long javelin): *Machæra*, sword, or long dart. Livius, book 1, mentions that the Thracians were also hindered by the *romphæa*. Hence those are reinforced who write that it is a Thracian weapon. Be that as it may, I do not doubt ^B that that Jesus (Sirach xxi, 4) intended to signify a sword, *romphaia distomos* (two-edged sword), which is the same as a double-edged sword.

V. 20, up to 26, everything is from the Basiliensis [manuscript]. But at verse 26, notes Drusius, those words, *heōs anethematise* (until he had utterly destroyed), belong to another interpreter, and he suspects Aquila, who translates thus elsewhere. However, it can also be Theodotion’s, who uses this interpretation in Exod. xxii, 12. The readings of verse 29 come from the same Basiliensis. Moreover, from 29 to the end of this chapter, the LXX readings are supplied in the Basiliensis, and in other manuscripts, and in the Anglican Polyglot, and appear to have been added from the edition of Theodotion. The following various readings from v. 29 are found in the margin of the Basiliensis, without the name of the interpreters. V. 31. Coislin. O, *ouk eblēthē* (it was not cast), m., *ep’ autous* (upon them).

The third reading, Someron, is found among the variants of the Roman edition. V. 2. A., the smooth one. Σ., the level one. Thus Drusius. In the smooth, in the level. Ibid. Σ., in the seacoast of Dor. Drusius presents the reading of Symmachus thus, the shore of the sea of Dor—I know not whence he fished it out. I think that the true reading is the one that is found in Eusebius and Jerome, *De locis Hebraicis*. The former has, where that is, *naparig Dōra*, and Jerome teaches that the interpretation of Symmachus in the Latin version is Nepheddor, which Symmachus interprets as maritime. The name of Symmachus seems to have dropped out of Eusebius.

Masius varies somewhat, and follows the Hebrew reading closely, but to the individual kings he appends ‘one,’ as is in the Hebrew.

Symmachus, *the floor*. Thus Eusebius, *On Hebrew Place-names*, for *Acharka*. Symmachus, *the soil*, where Jerome translates *pavement*. Drusius had read *to the earth*, erroneously, as he himself suspects. V. 4. "Another, to the south." From Basil. V. 5. "Another, to the side of the Jordan." Basil. V. 6. Symmachus ("in places according to the uninhabited"). Here the Greek of Eusebius, *On Hebrew Place-names*, is lacking. Jerome, however, translates it *Betharaba*, for which Symmachus translated, "in places which are near the uninhabited." Drusius, Symmachus: "in the plains or the uninhabited," and it is a double version which Symmachus is accustomed to use to interpret the word [Hebrew: ערבה], as we saw above, using now one, now the other. Ibid. Aquila, Theodotion, *Boen*. Thus the Basilian manuscript. V. 7. Aquila, Symmachus, Theodotion, *the fountain of the sun*, from Eusebius and Jerome, *On Hebrew Place-names*, at the word *Sames*.

Aquila, The Interpretation of the Seventy, "and it extends to the villages of the mountains of Ephron." This reading of the LXX Interpretum in the Hexapla was taken from Aquila.

And he shall dwell in that city until he may stand before the face of the congregation for judgment, until the high priest dies, who shall be in those days. Then the homicide shall return, and shall come to his city, and to his house, and to the city whence he had fled.

When he shall have fled to one of these cities, he shall stand before the gate of the city and speak to the elders of that city those things which may prove him innocent: and thus they shall receive him, and shall give him a place to dwell. 5. And when the avenger of blood shall have pursued him, they shall not deliver him into his hands: because he struck his neighbor in ignorance, nor was he his enemy before today and yesterday. 6. And he shall dwell in that city until he stands before the judgment seat rendering the cause of his action, and the high priest dies who shall be in that time: then the homicide shall return and enter into his city and his house from which he had fled.

Notes and variant readings for chapter I of Judges.

V. 1. "Another: from the Lord." "Another: in the Lord." Thus the Basle codex. It should be noted, however, that these Basle readings very frequently agree with the Alexandrian manuscript. Ibid. The Basle text has "in him." In the margin, however, "in them," as the reading of another interpreter. V. 5. "Another: we shall fight against the Canaanite." Thus Basil. It seems, however, to be a reading of Theodotion, who follows the letter strictly here, as below, v. 5. V. 4. "The Seventy, Theodotion: in their hand." This reading, we think, had been corrected from the Hebrew truth according to Theodotion by Origen in the edition of the Hexapla. But the old reading of the LXX Interpreters was: "into their hands." Ibid. "The Seventy, Theodotion: they struck them." "The Seventy (another): they cut them." Thus Basil. The former had been amended according to Theodotion in the LXX. V. 5. "The Seventy: and they overtook." "Theodotion, The Seventy (another): and they found." Basil. Ibid. "Theodotion, The Seventy (another): they fought against him." See above, v. 2. Ibid. "Theodotion, The Seventy (another): they struck." Basil. V. 7. "Another: and they brought him." Basil. V. 8. "The Seventy (another), Theodotion: in Jerusalem." Basil. V. 9. On these words, "and the lowland," Basil notes this, "none of the four, 'the prolonging ones' and 'those toward the east,'" by which it is signified from the four interpreters (Aquila, Symmachus, Theodotion, the Seventy) that no one has "the prolonging ones" and "those toward the east," which reading was evidently carried in some edition. V. 10. Basil has, "the former," in the text; in the margin, however, "in front." V. 11. "Another: and they went." Basil. Ibid. "Another: Cariassophar." "Another: city of letters." Basil, silent as to the interpreters. V. 13. "Another: to put him." Basil. V. 14. "Another: in her entering." Ibid. "Another: upon the donkey." Thus the Basle, which adds this note to these words, often repeated below, in this form: ^A *diorth(oth)*... ^B which we do not yet have sufficiently understood how to read or interpret. For notes of this kind are never explained in the Basle codex, where they were only observed by us. What we were able to arrive at by conjecture regarding them, we explain here briefly: *diorth(othe)*, that is, *diorthosa*, "I have corrected," "it has been emended." Thus it is read in the Scholiast manuscript of the Jesuit Fathers, Ezek. cap. XLV, v. 12. *Ou* is *houtōs*, "thus"; *pan* is *pantes*, "all"; *chō* is *chōris*, "without." So that the complete note reads: "I have emended thus: all without..." it means that the Scholiast himself emended it thus, and that all the editions have it separately, that is, placed apart, and not those which were collected in the Hexapla, where some mutations seem to have been introduced, as we said more loosely in the Preliminaries (a). V. 15. "Symmachus: irrigation of water." See the note following. Ibid. "Aquila: the upper Golgoth etc." Here in both, namely in Aquila and Symmachus, a diversity of readings occurs. For the Basle codex presents the reading of Aquila silently thus: "the upper Golgoth, and the lower Golgoth." In Procopius, however, page 497: "Aquila (sic) says: 'upper Gollath, and lower Gollath.'" Procopius therefore must have read *Gollath* or *Gollath* (sic), which reading squares better with the Hebrew *Gullōth* than *Golgoth*. But Theodoretus edits the reading of Symmachus thus: "Those around Symmachus interpreted 'irrigation of water' and instead of 'lowland,' 'plain'." Hence Drusius thinks that *Gullōth* (Hebrew) should be interpreted according to Symmachus as "irrigation of waters." But the Basle codex exhibits a far different and fuller interpretation of Symmachus: "Symmachus: a possession in the higher places, and a possession in the lower places." Which reading is confirmed by Procopius, whose interpreter translates it thus: "Symmachus explained: a possession in the superior, and a possession in the inferior." This reading pleases more. Coislin. to the margin: "Symmachus: a possession. The Hebrew..." (a) Chap. 10, num. 1, near letter II, where the author's opinion varies somewhat. Ed.

At the word, *of Bethel*, in the Basilian manuscript there is read in the margin: [... symbols ...], that is, Theodotion, Theodoret.

Notes and various readings on Chapter V of Judges.

V. 1. The Basiliensis, as also the Alexandrine codex, has in the text, *kai hōsen*. Basil. in the margin, O', Θ., *kai hōsan*, which reading the Roman edition has in the text. V. 2. Basil renders the reading of Symmachus. O', Θ., *en tō arxasthai archēgous*. Basil., and so also the Alex. The Alexandrine codex therefore follows O', and almost everywhere Θ. If it happens otherwise, we shall give notice. Ibid. A., *en ekousiasmō laou*. O', Θ., *en proairesei laou*. Basil. V. 3. Another: *huparchon*. Basil. The readings of the following verse are likewise from Basil. V. 5. Σ., that is to say, Sinai. Basil. V. 6. Σ., *epausthesan hodoi*. Basil. Ibid. A., Θ., *tribous*. Basil. V. 7. Another: *katoikountes en Israēl*. The same. V. 8. O', Θ., *hēretisanto*. So Basil. The Alex., however, *hēretisan*. Ibid. Another: *hōs arton krithinon*. So Basil. The variety of interpretations is marvelous. But here the interpreter took *ha-hem* for bread, and *se'orim* for barley. Ibid. A., *horōn*. Basil. Ibid. Another: *skepē sanidōn seiromastōn*. So Basil. But the Alex. codex, *skepē neanidōn seiromastōn*. Ibid. Another: *meta tessarakonta* etc. Basil. V. 9. A., O', Θ., *tois akribazomenois*. Σ., *eis ta prostagmata*. See what we have said at Gen. XLIX, 10. Ibid. Another: *hoi dunatoi tou laou*. So Basil, and it is so read in the Alex. codex. V. 10. Σ., *onadōn*. Θ., *hupozugiōn*. Basil. The Alexandrine codex has the reading of Theodotion. Ibid. Σ., *stilbousōn*. Another: *lampousōn*. These Basil. Another: *mesēmbrias*. For this one Hebrew word, the Roman edition has *rereph*. V. 11. A., *kataleigontōn*. Σ., *sumpinontōn*. Basil. O', *hudreuomenōn.* Alex., *euphrainomenōn*. Ibid. A., O', *phrazōn*. Σ., *ateichistoi*. Θ., *enischuson*. Basil. The Alex. codex likewise has *enischuson*. Aquila expressed the Hebrew word in Greek letters, wherefore it is perhaps better to write it even in Latin as *Phrason*. V. 12. Θ., *exanistato*. Basil. V. 13. Another: *tote emegalunthē hē ischus autou*. Σ., *leipsanon*. Basil. The Alex. codex, *pote emegalunen hē ischus*. Ibid. A., *tois sōzomenois*. Basil. Ibid. Another: *epikatebē autois* etc. Basil. V. 14. O', Θ., *ho laos Ephraim etimōrēsato autous en koiladi*. Basil. So likewise the Alex. Theodotion translates as if he had read *poy*. Ibid. Σ., *akolouthēsō soi* etc. Basil. Ibid. A., *akribastai*. Σ., *epitassontes*. Basil. Ibid. Σ., *didaskontes meta rhabdou gramma* etc. The last reading, *enischuontes en skēptrō*, is perhaps Aquila’s, who translates "scepter" at Gen. XLIX, 10 and Jos. I, 12. V. 15. Another: *kai archontes*. Basil. Ibid. Σ., *apelusen tous podas autou*. O', Θ., *exeteinen*. Basil. This Alex. does not follow O', Θ., if one trusts the Walton edition. Ibid. Another: *en diairesei Roudēn megaloi ekribasmoi kardias*. Basil. Ibid. A., *dialogismoi*. Σ., *akribeiai*. So Basil, who in the same place has O', *akribasmoi*. But I believe that here the names of the interpreters have been transposed, and the reading cited, namely *en diairesei Roudēn*.
