Notes and various readings on Chapter I of Job

V. 1. ^A, [e]Θ[/e]., "there was a man in the land of Uz." Thus the Colbert manuscript, where Uz is written with a smooth breathing. Drusius, however, notes that Aquila translated it as "one." He also adds that the aspiration of Uz is incorrectly preferred against the custom of the ancients, who did not aspirate the *aleph*. This matter is treated in the preliminaries of this edition, col. 50. The preceding words, "there was a man," according to Aquila and Theodotion, as in verse 8. Ibid. ^A, [e]Θ[/e]., "simple," [e]Σ[/e]., "blameless." Thus, besides Drusius, the Orat[ian] and one Regius [manuscript]. And that which others have more fully, without the interpreter being indicated: "simple, and upright, and fearing [God]," we do not doubt is the work of Aquila and Theodotion, as below, v. 8. V. 3. The readings of Aquila and Symmachus are fuller in the Orat[ian] and one Regius than in Drusius, who reads "servitude," [e]Σ[/e]., "household." Ibid. [e]Σ[/e]., "greatest of all the men of the East." Thus the Orat[ian] and one Reg[ius]. V. 4. Thus one Regius with Drusius. V. 5. "Another," "his own day." Drusius with this note: "That is, [original-script column: see facsimile]." The opposite of this is in the LXX, [e]ὡς ἂν συνετέλεσαν[/e]. Our text has, "when [they] pass into the circle," and it is better. Ibid. ^A, "they cursed," etc. Drusius. This is placed there for [e]κατηράσαντο[/e], that is, "they blessed" instead of "they cursed": for it signifies both, just as in Latin, *sacer* means both "holy" and "accursed." V. 6. "Another," "the sons of God." Thus Drusius and the manuscripts. Furthermore, this seems to be the reading of the other translators: for the Hebrew letter sounds that way. The LXX has, "the angels of God," and so also Deut. xxxii, 43. Ibid. ^A, "and Satan," etc. The reading of Aquila and Theodotion is in Drusius and the mss. Aquila renders *Satan* in Num. xxii, 22. V. 8. Thus one Reg[ius] and the silk Colbertinus. Ibid. ^A, [e]Θ[/e]., "a man simple," etc. Drusius. This translation seems to be that of Aquila and Theodotion, who above at v. 1 translated it "simple." V. 9. ^A, "fears God." This interpretation is offered by Drusius as a scholium. But one Reg[ius] and the Colb. attribute it to Aquila. V. 11. Thus Colb. and one Reg[ius]. Drusius does not have "if."

JOB CHAPTER II

1. Sons of God. Before the Lord. 2. And he said. 3. And still he holds fast to his perfection. The Hebrew, and he still clings to his perfection. ^C And you provoked me against him to swallow him up without cause.

^D 1. Sons of God. In his sight. 2. And he responding said. 3. And still holding fast to innocence. You, however, moved me against him, to afflict him in vain. And you provoked me against him to precipitate him without cause.

Notes and various readings on Chapter I of Job

V. 13. This word "ate" was marked with an asterisk, as may be seen in the Latin edition of Job in Jerome, vol. I. V. 14. A[quila], "And behold, a messenger," etc. (Colb.) V. 15. So one Regius manuscript and Colb. But the former has a fuller reading and the following note. The Colbertine manuscript indeed has it thus. Both therefore say that the Sabaeans are the same as the Saracens. Who that Hebrew is, whose readings both bring forward, we inquire in the preliminaries. V. 16. A[quila], O[rigen], "that this was speaking," etc. (Colb.) Drusius brings forward this reading as a kind of scholion. Ibid. A[quila], O[rigen], "fire of God." (Colb.) Drusius. It seems, however, to be an interpretation of Symmachus. That passage was marked with an asterisk because it was missing in the LXX, as may be seen in the Latin edition of Job, mentioned above. Ibid. (Colb.) V. 17. A[quila], "the Chaldeans," etc. (Colb.) This interpretation, however, Drusius brings forward without the name of the interpreter and as a kind of scholion. Another, he attributes to Aquila (Roman edition). Ibid. A[quila], "a great wind." (Colb. and Reg. 1, and also Drusius.) V. 20. A[quila], "his garment." S[ymmachus], "his mantle." Th[eodotion], "his over-tunic." V. 21. "As to the Lord," etc. To this the Colbertine codex adds: These words, therefore, do not lie in the Hebrew, seeing that they were absent from the Hebrew; they were marked with an obelus in the Hexaplar edition of the LXX, as may be seen in the Latin edition of Job, concerning which see above. V. 22. The Colbertine codex and two Regius manuscripts have the former reading of the Hebrew interpreter with Drusius. One Regius manuscript, with Drusius, has the other reading of Symmachus. ^D

^A V. 1. "Others," "sons of God." It is undoubtedly the version of the other interpreters. In the Latin version of the book of Job, which was composed according to the faith of the Seventy interpreters (as mentioned above), it reads: sons of God. Ibid. These things are read twice in the same verse, and finally they are marked with an asterisk in the Latin version so that it might stand before the Lord. But in the Colbertinus codex, these words are read: the rest is as it stands. That is, "A.", "Th.", whatever is marked with an asterisk is not of the Seventy Interpreters, but was introduced from another edition because, naturally, the Hebrew is thus. V. 2. The others, "and he said." The Hebrew, "and still to cast him down." V. 3. Symmachus, "skin for skin." Aquila, "if he will not curse you to your face." The Hebrew, "if he will not blaspheme you to your face." V. 6. Symmachus, Theodotion, "Thou shalt not touch his soul." For those suffering from elephantiasis are not permitted to live in cities with others, and are commensal with none. Thus the Colbertinus, from Apollinarius, and the Oratorianus. V. 8. The Hebrew, "the scraping within him." In the ashes. Symmachus, "on the ashes." ^B These passages make me suspect that Aquila rendered it *apolesai*, "to destroy," which is now *katapontisai*, "to cast down," in the Vulgate edition and the LXX, meant to signify "to cast down": however, I do not assert this. I wish it to be considered as a matter of opinion, not as certain. So far Drusius, and modestly indeed. But the readings of Aquila and the LXX rely too much on the authority of the ancient codices to make it permissible to propose others. And, moreover, Aquila is accustomed to translate the term *katapontizein*. Wherefore, one must stand entirely by this reading. V. 4. etc. Thus one Regius and the Oratorianus and Drusius. V. 5. Colbertinus. One Regius. Drusius presents this reading as Symmachus's. Two Regii, however, as Theodotion's. V. 7. "Others," "elephantiasis." Colbert. But this reading is noted below in a scholion of the same codex, where it is said of Job, that he was sitting on a dung-heap outside the city. For those who suffer from the disease of elephantiasis are not permitted to live in the cities. Thus the Colbertinus, from Apollinarius, and the Orat. Ibid. Aquila, Drusius. Colbert. and one Regius, but Drusius, *in the ashes*.

Notes and various readings on Chapter III of Job

Regarding V. 12: Colbert brings only the last part, "and may it not be to endure in darkness." V. 12: "And I increased the wickedness." Colbert. See the scholion. V. 15: Σ., "of those building ruins (sic, for ruins) for themselves." Another, "they built." Σ., "buried." Θ., "not seeing the embryo (sic, for seeing) light." Colbert. V. 17: Α., "they ceased from shaking." Sic Colbert and one Regius. Drusius, "to shake." Symmachus and Theodotion’s reading is exhibited by the same codices. Drusius had inverted everything. Ibid: The rest, "with strength." V. 18: Α., "together prisoners were straightened," etc. Thus we borrow the full readings from Colbert and others. In the Latin edition of Job, for what Aquila has, it is read "they abounded," with an asterisk. V. 19: The rest, "free," etc. Thus Colbert and one Regius. In the LXX, before "fearing," is missing in the Roman edition. V. 23: Θ., "whose way," etc. Thus Colbert, with an asterisk. Here indeed the LXX are vacant, but in some Bibles these are added, as Colbert notes in the same place, "from whom the way was hidden." Ibid: Σ., "he blocked." Α., "because to the face," etc. Colb. and Drus. Another, "and his roaring shall be poured out," etc. Drusius. It seems, however, to be Aquila, who is accustomed to translate *ruaring*. V. 26: Α., "I was not at ease." Drusius. Ibid: Α., "a shaking." Colbert. Drusius, however, brings the word here as a scholion. *Montfaucon incorrectly brought to this place this version of Symmachus, which pertains to the other part of verse 14: "who build ruins for themselves." DRACH.*

CHAPTER IV OF JOB

^ASYMMACHUS. 2. If thou shalt take up a word, thou wilt bear it painfully. 4. The stumbling. 5. 6. 8. 11. A lion without substance has perished. 12. And to me a word was spoken secretly as if by stealth. And my ear received a whispering from Him. 13. In horror from nocturnal visions. 15.

^BLXX INTERPRETERS. 2. Has it been spoken to thee often in weariness? 4. The infirm. 5. Thou hast hastened. Another, troubled. 6. Thy hope, and the simplicity of thy ways. 8. The absurd (things). 11. The ant-lion has perished because it had no food. 12. If now any true word has been in thy words. Shall not my ear receive wonderful things from Him? 13. In fear and nocturnal sound. 15. Upon my face. Another, through my face. It came upon me. And my hairs and flesh shuddered. Another, the fear breaths opposite to me.

^CTHEODOTION. 2. If we shall take to speak to thee, wilt thou labor? 4. 5. 6. Thy patience, and the simplicity of thy ways. 8. 11. Prey. 12. 13. 15.

Notes and various readings on Chapter IV of Job. V. 2. Thus all manuscripts. Drusius, however, reports the readings of Symmachus and Theodotion mixed and truncated thus: if we should take to speak to thee, if we should take up a word. S., thou art in haste to cast away, not bearing it. V. 4. *sphalentas*. Thus the Colbert and one Regius. V. 5. *Allos*, *ethorybothes*. Thus Drusius. The Colbertinus, however, adds this scholion: *so* vain he weaves a syllogism, which latter words are undoubtedly a scholion. However, that interpretation, thy patience etc., the Oratoriensis codex and Drusius attribute to Aquila. The Colbertinus, however, and one Regius, to Theodotion. We think it belongs to both. V. 8. A., *anopheles*. The Colbert and one Regius. Thus Aquila is accustomed to translate the word. The Colbert adds: A= *gr.* *atopa*. I.e., written in the Tetrapla: absurdities. See in the notes on ch. II, v. 9. V. 11. A., *lis oleto* etc. Thus Drusius, and one Regius, which has *leis* (*). The Colbertinus, however, *lis*. (*) *Lis*. Thus without discrimination of the word, and with the same letters, Aquila renders the word of the Hebrew fount. It is true that this word occurs not rarely even among profane authors, but marked with a circumflex accent. Hesiod, *Shield* 172: *megas lis*. Theocritus often. Homer, *lin oinen ei lis hēgĕneto*, *Iliad* A 480, O 275. And others whom it would be too long to name. DRACH.

Notes and variant readings on Job Chapter V

V. 10. 'A.' [Aquila]: "upon the face of the most remote." Colbert and one Reg. manuscript. Drusius, however, brings this forward as if it were a scholion.

V. 11. "In salvation." So the Colbert manuscript with an asterisk. In the Latin version it is read as "in salvation," also with an asterisk, because it had been omitted in the Septuagint.

V. 12. "Making void." So the Colbert and one Regius manuscript. But Drusius and Nicetas, from Olympiodorus, read: 'A.' [Aquila]: "making void." Σ. [Symmachus]: "shall loosen." Θ. [Theodotion]: "shall scatter." Also "making void." Σ. [Symmachus]: "loosening," "scattering." Olympiodorus seems to have recorded the final readings of Symmachus and Theodotion in such a way that they would harmonize with the reading of Aquila. The Colbertinus manuscript is more trustworthy because it was copied from another manuscript which had been prepared for the Tetrapla itself.

V. 15. Σ. [Symmachus]: "but a crooked counsel shall be disturbed." Nicetas, and Drusius, and the Colbertinus, the last of whom is silent as to the name of the interpreter.

V. 16. 'A.' [Aquila]: "in weakness." Σ. [Symmachus]: "for the poor man." Drusius. The Colbert manuscript, however, has only "the poor," without the name of the interpreter.

V. 18. 'A.' [Aquila]: "and he shall bind up." Σ. [Symmachus]: "he shall bind." Drusius.

V. 19. 'A.' [Aquila]: "in six." 'A.', Θ. [Theodotion]: "and in seven." Another: "for you shall conceal." Drusius. It seems this also belongs to Theodotion, as does the following reading.

Ibid. 'A.' [Aquila]: "from slander." Drusius.

V. 21. Another: "from the booty of those coming upon [one]." So the Colbertinus. I suspect it was taken from another place. The same Colbert manuscript.

Ibid. 'A.' [Aquila]: "from those coming upon." So all.

V. 23. The Latin edition of the book of Job carries this verse with an asterisk because it is not read in the Septuagint.

V. 24. 'A.' [Aquila]: "and you shall look upon your comeliness, and you shall not sin." And "and you shall not err." Σ. [Symmachus]: "you shall not suffer misfortune." Drusius and one Regius manuscript, which last has "Drusius."

V. 26. Another: "heap." One Regius manuscript.

V. 2. Σ., "would that," etc. Drusius. V. 3. 'Α., "on this account my words have been trodden underfoot." Drusius, who adds this note: *katepatēthēsan*, "have been trodden underfoot," i.e., despised and held in great contempt. It is possible that I am mistaken. I incline to believe that this interpreter wrote *katespōthēsan*, i.e., "they have been swallowed." That is what the Hebrew word denotes. I willingly agree with the conjectures of Drusius: since a change of words of this kind is very easy. So all the manuscripts. In Drusius, the phrase "on this account" is missing. Th. [Theodotion], "weary." Thus the Colbert, one Regius, and Drusius. V. 4. 'Α., "the Sufficient." The Hebrew text, Σ., *Saddai*. It is truly noted by the Scholiast of the Colbertine codex, who has it thus: "instead of the Lord, *Saddai* is placed in the Hebrew, which is interpreted *hikanon* (the Sufficient)." Drusius notes the following regarding the word *hikanon*: "I suspect, I do not affirm, that it is Aquila's. In the Roman edition, Symm., *Saddai*. The Scholiast, "instead of, the Sufficient." My suspicion is helped, or rather strengthened, by the fact that Exod. VI, 3, *bet-el-Saddai*, A., [reads] *en theo hikanō* (in the sufficient God). Jerome in Com. Ezech. 1: "Saddai, Aquila, Symmachus, Theodotion have translated 'the Sufficient,' which signifies strong and powerful." The same in Epist. 136: "Aquila interprets *Saddai* as *alkimon* (valiant), which we can call robust, and sufficient to accomplish all things." Philo of Byblos certainly did not grasp this name of God in the History of the Phoenicians, which Sanchuniatho composed in his native tongue, when he rendered *Saddai* into Greek, saying it signifies an "acre" or "farmer." For he clearly confuses *saday*...

Notes and various readings on Chapter VII of Job

V. 8. ^A, [Th], "he will not be looked upon," etc. These are marked with an asterisk in the Colbertine codex, so as to indicate that this which was formerly lacking in the Seventy, had been taken from Aquila and Theodotion. They are also marked with an asterisk in the Latin version with which we are often concerned. In the Tetrapla, as we think, it was read instead of [the previous text]; "he will not perceive," as the Colbertine notes. But this reading seems to have been transferred here from cap. IX, v. 24. The Coislinianus (a bombycine manuscript of the 4th century, which begins from the end of chapter VI) has "the others," "a runner." Ibid. [S], "my days," etc. Thus one Regius and Drusius. I suspect, however, that that "my days" was not repeated by Symmachus, but was added later so that the sentence might balance. Ibid. "Your eyes," etc. These likewise are marked with an asterisk in the Colbertine and in the Latin edition. V. 9. [S], "as," etc. Thus three manuscripts, Nicetas, and Drusius. V. 11. ^A, [Th], "therefore." Colbertine and one Regius. Ibid. [S], "I shall be consumed," etc. Thus four manuscripts, Nicetas, and Drusius.

Notes and various readings on Chapter IX of Job

V. 3. Symmachus, Theodotion: "that he may not answer him." See Colbert. with asterisk. Moreover, the version of Symmachus and Theodotion was prefixed to the version of the LXX Interpreters in the Hexapla; so that both might remain later. The LXX however have it thus, so that he may not answer. But the interpretations both of Symmachus and Theodotion, as well as the LXX which are both in modern Bibles, respond to these Hebrew words []. Colbert notes that in the Tetrapla is read "not contradicting," in the version namely of the LXX, this note being placed customarily, etc. Ibid. Symmachus, Theodotion: "his staff." See one manuscript.

V. 4. Aquila: "he was peaceful." Symmachus: "he completed."

V. 5. Symmachus: "removing mountains, and making them uncertain."

V. 6. The rest: "they shall be overturned." The Hebrew: "and all."

V. 9. Aquila: "wonderful." Theodotion: "very great." Another: "nor shall I perceive."

V. 12. Symmachus: "behold he snatches away." See one Regius. Colbert has "sees."

V. 13. Symmachus: "God, whose wrath is not to be turned away." Origen and Colbert (the latter of which has "of him" instead of "of which" wrongly). This version is exhibited by Nicetas and Drusius, who read "of whom."

Ibid. Symmachus: "under him," etc. See all; but Colbert and one Regius have "pride/arrogance" wrongly, as it seems. Aquila, Theodotion: "with him." Colbert and one Regius. The Hebrews, however, bring forth the interpretation of the interpreter, all except Drusius.

V. 15. Theodotion: "who am righteous." See Colbert and one Regius.

Ibid. Theodotion: "I will pray for his judgment." See one Regius and Colbert, the latter of which has Theodotion with an asterisk, to note that these were introduced from Theodotion into the text of the LXX Interpreters, which was lacking here. The old Latin version also, of which above, refers to these with an asterisk, as we edit.

V. 17. Symmachus: "through a storm." Colbert and one Regius.

Ibid. Aquila, Theodotion: "and in vain." See Colbert and one Regius. This Drusius brings forth as a scholion.

"Another," "even if I be innocent, I will not know." Thus one manuscript of the King; but that phrase pertains to something else, namely to verse 21, where [Hebrew text] etc. Drusius. V. 23. S., Th., "suddenly [he slays] the innocent." Thus one codex. V. 24 and 25. Jerome’s Latin version of Job marks these four verses with asterisks. Colbert. marks only two verses, namely [Greek text]. Regarding which he says, "from [the Seventy] i.e., two verses from Theodotion." But because the Colbert manuscript not infrequently omits verses marked with an asterisk, we follow Jerome’s Latin edition. Note, however, that in the Bibles one reads, for [which is the last reading, both the Hebrew text and that Latin edition of Jerome prepared according to the faith of the LXX with obeli and asterisks argue to be true.

14. And do not let iniquity dwell in your tents. 18. You shall sleep in confidence. 20. But the eyes of the impious shall fail, and their hope shall be the expiration of their soul.

[AQUILA] 14. Let not iniquity dwell in your shelter. 18. In hope he shall sleep. 20. ^A For their hope is destruction.

Notes and various readings on Chapter XI of Job: V. 2. Σ., "Not he who talks too much." Another: "But would that it were somehow." "And he will open his lips with you." ^B V. 6. 'A., "The secret things of wisdom." ^C V. 7. 'A., "Can you discover the investigation of God?" ^D V. 8. Another rendering: "heights." V. 12. Σ., "He is emboldened to no purpose."

(⋆) This passage of Symmachus concerns the first part of the preceding verse of the Hebrew text: "Can you discover the investigation of God?" Corrected as follows according to Schleusner: "How would you attain the way of God?"

CHAPTER XII OF JOB

[HEBREW TEXT] And with you shall wisdom die. 7. And speak to the earth, and it shall teach you. And the fish of the sea shall tell you. 9.

JOB CHAPTER XII

SYMMACHUS. 2. Is perfection of wisdom with you? 7. And he shall declare to thee. 8. And converse with the earth, and he shall indicate to thee. 9. 10. 12. 14. 16. 17. Leading away counselors into folly.

O. 2. Shall wisdom end with you? 7. If they tell thee. 8. Let the earth tell thee, if it speak to thee. 9. ✻ And the fishes of the sea shall describe to you. Who among all these knows not that the hand of the Lord has made these things? 10. Meat. 12. In much time is wisdom. 14. Against men. 16. And strength. 17. Leading counselors captive.

THEODOTIO. 2. 7. 8. 9. ✻ And the fishes of the sea shall describe to you. Who among all these knows not that the hand of the Lord has made these things? 10. 12. 14. 16. And salvation. 17.

18. He shall make them foolish, and bind a girdle upon their loins. 20. Removing the speech of the faithful, and he shall take away the understanding of the elders. 23. Multiplying the nations, and destroying them: he extends the nations, and leads them into error. 24. A remover of the way. 25. They shall grope without light, and he shall make them wander about.

Notes and variant readings on chapter XII of Job. V. 2. Aquila: "And with you is the perfection of wisdom." Drusius: He has "perfection of wisdom" only. Symmachus: "Or with you is the perfection of wisdom." V. 7. Aquila: "And he shall enlighten you." Symmachus: "And he shall declare unto you." So the Colbert manuscript. One royal manuscript has "he shall enlighten, and he shall declare unto you." V. 8. Symmachus: "And speak," etc. So the Colbert and one royal manuscript. Ibid. and v. 9. Those [passages] which are marked with asterisks were introduced into the text of the Seventy Interpreters from Theodotion, as the Colbert manuscript notes with these words: "The three verses, i.e., three verses or little verses, were taken from Theodotion." For "verses" were called sections or periods, which were led from a line; so that these three verses lay in this manner in the ancient exemplars: And the fishes of the sea shall describe to you. Who among all these knows not that the hand of the Lord has made these things? The Latin edition of Jerome also marks these with asterisks. V. 10. Aquila, the Septuagint: "flesh." Colbert with an asterisk, and similarly in the Latin edition, "flesh" with an asterisk. V. 12. Aquila: "In ancient [men] is wisdom." Symmachus: "In long-lived [men] is wisdom." So the Oratorian and two royal manuscripts. V. 14. Aquila: "upon a man." Colbert. The Latin edition has "around a man," with an asterisk, perhaps from Theodotion, who in Greek had "concerning a man."

CHAPTER XIII OF JOB

2. I am not inferior to you. 3. I desire to argue with God. 4. You are all forgers of lies and cultic practitioners of perverse doctrines.

LXX INTERPRETERS. ^B He cast into fear. 18. ✻ And he girded them with a belt about their loins. 20. Who changes the lips of the faithful. And he knew the understanding of elders. 23. ✻ Leading nations astray and destroying them, laying low nations and guiding them. 24. Leading aside. 25. In a way which they did not know. Let them grope. Another: Let them wander.

THEODOTION. ^C Exposing. 18. 20. 23. ✻ Leading nations astray and destroying them, laying low nations and guiding them. 25.

The Colbertinus manuscript has here: from Theodotion, that is, these two verses are taken from Theodotion. These two verses are: Leading nations astray and destroying them, laying low the nations and guiding them. The Latin edition also notes this with an asterisk. V. 24. †, taking away. Symm., turning over. Theod., removing. Colbert reads according to Aquila, removing. Drusius incorrectly, he removes. †, †, removing. Ibid. †, through an untrodden way. One Reg. V. 25.

Drusius, however, and Colbert join the reading of Aquila and Theodotion, and attribute it to Aquila alone thus: V. 9. [See facsimile]. Two mss. and Drusius from Polychronius have this: the one [see facsimile] Ille vero Hellenicus, or Greek, seems to be some interpreter, namely Aq., Sym., or Theodotion; the Hebrew, however, as we have said elsewhere, seems to be a certain Greek interpreter from the Hebrews. But the matter is not free from doubt, and Drusius thinks otherwise, who believes the Hebrew text itself to be sometimes cited by Olympiodorus, sometimes by Polychronius, and that they render the Hebrew words into Greek. See in the Preliminaries. V. 11. S., as waters slip from the sea. So all mss. and printed editions. Two read [see facsimile]. Ibid. The Hebrew, and a torrent. All mss. Drusius adduces that as a scholion. V. 12. A., Th., until heaven is worn away, etc. From the Colbertine and one Reg. The Seventy, Roman edition, do not have the ^D "not" before "shall not." Ibid.

LXX INTERPRETERS: 12. And the flood. 12. Until there is heaven, they shall not be joined together, and they shall not awake. [*] He shall not be awakened from his sleep. 14. Shall he live? 14. I will wait until I am again. 15. Do not reject. 16. The rest, my steps. 17. You have sealed my iniquities in a purse. 18, 19. [*] For truly a falling mountain shall fail, and a rock shall be worn away from its place. Waters have smoothed stones, and waters have flooded the surface of the earth's soil; and you have destroyed the patience of man. 21. [*] Concerning them.

Waters have smoothed stones, and waters have flooded the surface of the earth's soil; and you have destroyed the patience of man. 21.

Notes and various readings on Chapter XIV of Job. The Greek issues from the Colbertine; the Latin from the Latin edition of Jerome. V. 14. Aquila, Theodotion, "Shall he live?" Colbertine. Ibid. Aquila, Theodotion, "I will hope," etc. All manuscripts and printed editions possess the following readings of Aquila, Theodotion, and Symmachus. Furthermore, that which is Symmachus's, "my holy nature," seems thoroughly corrupted. Should it be read "my change," so that it corresponds to the Hebrew word [original-script column: see facsimile]? V. 15. Theodotion, "You shall desire." Colbertine and one Reg[ius]. V. 16. The rest, "my steps." Colbertine and one Reg. V. 17. Symmachus, "For you shall heap up," etc. The same. V. 18, 19. The Colbertine manuscript notes that these five verses here are taken from Theodotion, i.e., five verses from Theodotion. Now those verses were: The translation of which we have transcribed from the Latin edition of Jerome, where they are marked with asterisks, just as they are in the Colbertine. But the Latin differs slightly from the Greek. Ibid. Symmachus, "The omitted things." Colb[ertine] and one Reg. Ibid. Symmachus, "thus you shall destroy the expectation of a man." Thus Colbertine. Drusius, however, "You shall destroy the expectation of each man." V. 21. "Concerning them." Thus Colbertine with an asterisk, and the Latin edition likewise with an asterisk, because it is wanting in the LXX.

Those things which are marked with an asterisk were brought into the Septuagint from another interpreter, for instance from Theodotion, as elsewhere passim.

V. 1. Another: I am killed by my thoughts. Colbert. V. 2. Symmachus: I am deceived. Colbert. V. 3. The Colbert manuscript has, *From Theodotion.* Those are four versiculi, or verses, from Theodotion. It notes hereafter after the first verse, that Symmachus then concurs with Theodotion. Thus, there were four verses in the Hexaplar edition of the Seventy: ^C * Theodotion: Who is this? Let him be bound with my hand. * Symmachus, Theodotion: Because their heart they have hidden (correct for: you have hidden) from understanding. Because of this, you shall not exalt them. * In their portion he shall announce (correct for: he will announce) evils. The Latin edition also marks these verses with asterisks, as we have published them. In the Colbert manuscript, after *From Theodotion*, an *alpha* is placed, which signifies, I think, that Theodotion alone is held in the first verse; afterward, it indicates Symmachus for the second, third, and fourth, in this manner, C marked with asterisks. (*) (*) It is certain that the other siglum, the Greek letter *rho* combined with *eta*, signifies not *pros* but *Theodotion*: thus indeed are untied all the difficulties from which the restorer of the Hexapla could not extricate himself, as he ingenuously confesses in [the work].

These are marked with asterisks in the Latin edition of Jerome. V. 11, 12. *Another*, "Many about the feet," etc. We obtain these readings from the codices and from Nicetas. V. 13. *Symmachus* and *Theodotion*, "An early death." So one Regius [codex] and Colbert, with an asterisk at the word "early." In the Latin edition of Jerome one reads, "matura mors" (ripe death), with an asterisk at the word "ripe." V. 14. *Theodotion*, "From out of his tent." One Regius [codex] attributes this to Symmachus, Colbert to Theodotion. Ibid. *Aquila*, "And there shall come upon him," etc. So all the manuscripts and published editions.

V. 15. *The Hebrew*, "he shall dwell," etc. So Colbert, one Regius [codex], the Oratorian, Nicetas, and Drusius. *Theodotion*, "he shall dwell in his tent." Nicetas and Drusius. The LXX, "he shall dwell in his tent in his night," or, as other copies have, "in his body." Those who translate thus must read it as a compound. Thus far, indeed, everything agrees. But the Colbertine codex causes great confusion here, which adds a note of this kind at this place, omitting the asterisk, "From Theodotion the rest of the verse," where I imagine that the 'A' mark is erroneously placed for the 'Lambda', that is, *the rest*; and then it will mean, "from Theodotion the rest of the verse." Indeed, it is not difficult to gather which those remaining verses are; namely, those that are placed subsequently, before he adds the commentaries of the various authors, as is customary—which the scribe also indicates when he has a little note with an asterisk by the final verse, to indicate that the asterisks end here. Those verses are, moreover...

three in number, namely: *He shall dwell in his tent in his night; *His comely things shall be scattered with brimstone; *His roots shall be dried up from beneath.

The Latin edition of Jerome prefixes a single asterisk to these three verses, as it stands: *He shall dwell in his tent in his night, *His comely things shall be scattered with brimstone, *His roots shall be dried up from beneath.

Hence it may be seen that those three verses were introduced into the edition of the Septuagint from Theodotion according to custom, because the former was lacking. Nevertheless, another version of the first verse of Theodotion is brought forward above from Drusius and Nicelas, namely: *He shall dwell in his tent in non-existence. This version, however, neither the Colbertine nor other codices possess; whence arises the suspicion that that which lies as “in his night” was translated hither from the version of Aquila, the preceding verse: and that Theodotion did in truth translate the original, wherefore we do not deem this difficulty to be of such great importance.

But a greater difficulty arises from the Colbertine codex itself, which, after it has placed that note, immediately subjoins for the following verse, with an asterisk prefixed, [Θ.], where it is read in today's edition of the Seventy, and where it reads: *He shall be winnowed upon his comely things with brimstone, *His comely things shall be scattered with brimstone. From which it would follow that the version which is read among the Seventy was not taken from Theodotion, contrary to what is said in the note of the Colbertine codex, since the Colbertine itself and the remaining codices bring forward another version of Theodotion, one far different from that which the LXX prefer, which in the time of Jerome was the same, as may be seen in the Latin version above. I would willingly believe that the name of Theodotion had been substituted here for the name of another interpreter, which certainly does not happen infrequently: for because only the first letter of the name is prefixed, it is easy for it to be changed into another letter. Nevertheless, it does not rarely happen that his...

diverse readings, but also interpretations, are reported: concerning which matter [see the] Preliminaries.

Furthermore, that [clause], "that there is judgment," is marked with an asterisk in the Latin edition of Jerome, because as it was lacking in the LXX, it was taken from Aquila and Theodotion.

Theodotion, God shall hide etc. Colbert., Reg. one, Nicetas and Drusius. Ibid. Theodotion, He shall recompense etc. Colbert with asterisk. Also the Latin edition has that, He shall recompense him, and he shall know, with an asterisk. V. 20. Symmachus, a fall. All. V. 21. Here the Colbert manuscript, with an asterisk prefixed, and [the words] 'that he' instead of 'the God' as [noted] from the Hebrew, [is] 'for what does he need of his house with himself.' I.e. two verses taken from Theodotion, which also in the Latin edition, whence we have excerpted the translation, are marked with asterisks. But [as for] what follows, they seem to indicate that in the copy used by the one who wrote these [things], for [the text] 'the will of God'—'the will of God' [was read]. However, I do not sufficiently perceive in what way the final words with the sign are to be understood. (*) Ibid. A., 'they were halved'. So all except...

(*) Nor did the illustrious Montfaucon sufficiently perceive the first part, as it seems to us. Undoubtedly it existed in the Hexaplar LXX, as testified by the Latin version of St. Jerome and the annotations of the blessed Augustine on Job: 'For no will of his' (that 'his' is omitted in the Montfaucon edition of the Hexapla) 'in his house after him.' What...

does this 'his' mean? Augustine and Nicetas reply that this pronoun refers to God (who is mentioned at the end of the preceding verse). The meaning, therefore, as they explain, becomes clear: 'While the impious man lives (in his house), he in no way complies with the will of God (no will of his), such that he might cling to God (after him, or as it now stands in the Septuagint text, with him).' Therefore, the Colbertine codex rightly observes concerning the first 'his': that is, Thus, of God; as if to say: This 'his' should not be expunged for the sake of the other 'his' occurring immediately afterward; for the first refers to God, but the second to the impious man, namely, 'in his house' (the house of the impious man himself), as Jerome and Augustine intentionally translate it, and not 'in his house' as some wrongly do. After a caution of this kind, the codex continues thus: etc. That is, Theodotion alone prefers these things from the Hebrew source, 'for what,' etc. Cf. what we have said above at XVII, 3.

They went out to their work, rising early for prey. Solitude is bread for him for his youths. 8. From the inundation of the mountains they grow moist. 9. And they will take a pledge for the poor. 12, 13. And God will not put the foolish; they were between the rebels of light. 14-18. And by night he will be as a thief: and the eye of the adulterer has watched the twilight, saying, The eye will not see me, and he will put a hiding of faces. He dug houses in the dark, in the day they signed for themselves: they did not know the light. For at once in the morning to them is the shadow of death. When he has known the terrors of the shadow of death: he himself is light upon the face of the waters. And he will put my word to God.

They go out to their work: watching for prey. They prepare bread for their children. 8. Which the showers of the mountains moisten. 9. And they have despoiled the poor crowd. 12, 13. And God does not allow it to go unpunished. They were rebels to the light. 14-18. But by night he will be as a thief. The eye of the adulterer observes the darkness saying, No eye will see me: and he will cover his face. He digs through houses in the dark, as in the day they had agreed among themselves, and they did not know the light. If the dawn suddenly appears, they think it the shadow of death: and thus in the darkness they walk as if in the light. He is light upon the face of the water. And to put my words before God.

But he who had fallen, they have humiliated. 12, 13. But He, why does He not make visitation of these things? Since they were on the earth and did not know. 14-18. * And at night he will be as a thief. And the eye of the adulterer watched for darkness, saying, "No eye will perceive me." And he set a hidden place for his face. He dug through houses in the dark. By day they sealed themselves. They did not know the light.

Moreover, the last verse is missing: and after that, at the consumption of light, you should add, with darkness, as with the Hebrew *with darkness*. Ibid. A. [Aquila], *Rephaim*. Σ.

(*) There is nothing in the Hebrew text to which this reading can correspond, which Montfaucon presents to us as a fragment of an uncertain interpreter.

Now, the hemistich is called the word *esaleuthesan*, whose Latin translation is *commoti sunt* (they were shaken); it is marked with an asterisk also in the Latin edition of Jerome, as are the nine following verses, as we represent them. Where you should also note that these three verses, which pertain to verses 3 and 4 of this chapter: *And he himself found every end, The stone of darkness and the shadow of death, The division of the torrent from the ashes*, are marked with asterisks in the same Latin edition. But since the Colbertine manuscript does not mark these at all, and full confidence should not be placed in the same Latin edition, let it suffice to have warned of this. ^B V. 10. Theod., *fortifications*. So the two Royal manuscripts, the Oratorian, and Drusius. Likewise Nicetas: *malum* (evil); for that version of Symmachus pertains to the following word, as is indicated in the same manuscripts, and the thing itself teaches. ^C V. 11. Aquila, Theodotion, *he searched out*. The two Royal manuscripts and the Oratorian attribute it to Aquila; the Colbertine, Nicetas, and Drusius to Theodotion. I think it belongs to both. Likewise Symmachus, *and again regarding* etc. The Colbertine and one Royal manuscript. ^D V. 12. The rest, *it shall be found*. The Royal, Colbertine, Oratorian, and Drusius manuscripts. V. 13. Aquila, *order* etc. So all. V. 14-19. The Colbertine has, *From Theodotion: the twelve*, that is, *These twelve verses are taken from Theodotion*. These verses are marked in the same codex with asterisks, as they are also in the Latin edition of Jerome, in which, however, some asterisks here and there have been omitted through the negligence of the scribe.

Ibid. *Of the others*, *with the dogs* etc. The same. V. 2. *Orat.*, the other *Reg.*, Nicetas and Drusius. In the Latin edition of Jerome these are read with an asterisk: "In them perished all life." Which perhaps belong to the version of Symmachus. The text of the LXX in the Alexandrian manuscript with an asterisk. V. 3. In the Latin edition it is read with an asterisk: "In egestate et fame instabiles" (In poverty and famine unstable). He who translated thus seems to have read [*astatoi*], for [*agonos*], as it is held today in the Hebrew.

V. 4. So the two *Reg.*, *Orat.*, Nicetas and Drusius. In the Latin edition it is read with an asterisk: "who were gnawing the barks of trees": which correspond to the version of Symmachus: but the LXX express very different things. Ibid.

That word, *I rejected*, is to be ascribed to Aquila, as all the Mss. prove: but I think the other reading, *I despised*, is Symmachus’s. V. 14.

We publish the interpretations rendered to their own authors as they are found in the Colbert and two Regius codices. The Colbert manuscript, indeed, displays these according to custom with asterisks placed beside them, such as they were in the ancient exemplars. Thus, however, it has from Olympiodorus: Other copies, after *For I shall speak, as you are hearing*, contain also these verses: ✱ *Lo, I hearkened to your words, I gave ear unto your understanding*. But others, the interpreters, have rendered it thus: Th., *Lo, I have waited for your words*. S., *I have hearkened as long as you were considering, as long as you were examining words, and I was considering until I reached your understanding*. The version of Theodotion, however, respects these words: ✱ *Lo, I have waited for your words*. Ibidem, A., *he will find out*. Colbert and Regius 1. Here, however, the Colbert manuscript marks four verses with asterisks, and says they belong to Theodotion. The Latin edition of Jerome likewise marked them with asterisks. The scholion of the Colbert codex, however, has it thus, with an asterisk prefixed: > *From Th. The others, only Th., i.e., "Those four verses have been taken from Theodotion, who alone has them."

V. 6. A., Th., "And concerning judgment," etc. Thus Colbertinus. But Drusius attributes this version to Symmachus and Aquila. Ibid.

^B Notes and various readings for Job chapter XXXIV.

The middle part of the verse, and the following verse. These are also marked with asterisks in the Latin edition of Jerome; so that the phrase, "nor is there any shadow of death," is the middle part of the preceding verse, and that, "for the hiding of those who do lawless things," is the following verse. The Colbertine manuscript notes in the current text, as it represents it, that the full reading is not held as it had been restored by Aquila and Theodotion. For it is read there, "nor is there (or shall there be) a place," when it is certain that Aquila and Theodotion read, "nor is there any shadow of death": both because they are accustomed to translate [Hebrew script] thus, and especially because the Latin edition with an asterisk has, "and there is no shadow of death."

V. 23. That of Symmachus, "For not," etc., had been inserted with an asterisk into the version of the LXX Hexapla: for which reason in the Colbertine manuscript, because of the asterisk, it is placed ^C as Σ. According to the reading of Symmachus, it is translated into Latin in the edition of Jerome, with an asterisk placed before it as well.

V. 24. Θ., "for causing to be brought forward," etc. Colbertine and one Regius manuscript.

To a man like you is your wickedness, and to a son of man is your justice; by reason of the multitude of the oppressed they shall cry out, they shall shout against the arm of many. And he has not said, Where is God my Maker? Who gives songs in the night. 11. Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth, and makes us wise more than the fowl of the heavens. 15.

By reason of the multitude of calumniators they shall cry out: and they shall wail because of the violence of the arm of tyrants. And he has not said, Where is God who made me? Who has given songs in the night. 11. Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth. And more than the birds of heaven he instructs us. 15. For now he does not bring his wrath.

Notes and various readings on Chapter XXXVII of Job. V. 1. These eleven verses, being taken from Theodotion, are marked with asterisks in the Colbert manuscript; also in the Latin edition of Jerome, where, however, the asterisks are sometime placed differently, and the version does not always square with the Greek.

Ibid. Σ., *καὶ περὶ τούτων πτήσσει ἡ καρδία μου* (And at these things my heart trembles). Orat., Nicetas and Drusius. ^B Ibid. Σ., *ἄχρων* (without color/extremity). Colbert. Ibid. Σ., *καὶ οὐκ ἂν* etc. Thus all. Drusius omits *ἂν*, and for *αὐτοῦ* reads *αὐτῆς*. Ibid. 'A., *καὶ φθογγῇ* (and with a cry). Thus all. Ibid. 'A., *ἐφεδρεύεις αὐτοῦ* (you lie in wait for him). Colbert. One royal manuscript, however, *ἐφεδρεύει εἰς αὐτό* (he lies in wait for it), he sits in it. Ibid. 'A., *ὑπερφερείας αὐτοῦ* (of his excellence/excess). One royal manuscript, Orat., Nicetas and Drusius. Ibid. *Ἄλλος*, *ποιῶν μεγάλα* (Another, doing great things) etc. One royal manuscript. V. 6. *Οἱ λοιποί*, *χιόνι ἐρεῖ* (The rest, he shall say to the snow). Colbert and another. It is to be noted that four verses, which are marked with an obelus in the previous chapter, v. 28, are here also repeated in the Colbert manuscript, and in the copy which Olympiodorus used, who notes these things: I.e., these four verses marked with obeli, in certain copies lie behind before the twenty verses, after the statement: *But the cloud overshadowed with ineffable lightnings*; as we find in the Tetrapla of Origen.

Ibid. Σ., *καὶ χειμὼν* (And a storm) etc. Thus the mss. Drusius reads, *καὶ νέφη ἐπὶ ἀμυθήτων βροντῶν* (and clouds upon unspeakable thunders), as we also found in the Tetrapla of Origen. Σ., *ὄμβρους* (rains), male. ^C

V. 7. *Ἄλλος*, *τὰ πάντα τοῦ ἀνθρώπου* (Another, all things of man). Colbert and one royal manuscript. Here the Colbert manuscript has: *Ex θ. οἱ δ'*, i.e., these two verses from Theodotion, with asterisks according to custom. [But these words refer to the Hebraic text: *עזו ביד - כל - אדם יחתום* and in Latin they sound thus in the edition of St. Jerome: *And the storm of rains of power (not power, as the Montfaucon edition carries) of his. He seals by the hand of every man, (but not "shall be signed," as the same edition carries). Furthermore, we suspect that *δεσμῶν* (of bonds) should be read.*]

V. 9. 'A., *σεισμοί* (earthquakes). Thus Drusius. But the Colbert and one royal manuscript have *συγκλεισμός*, conclusion.

Symmachus, but he himself in a circle, etc. All. This and the two following verses were introduced from Theodotion into the LXX, as testified by Colbertinus, "from Theodotion the three," and the Latin edition which renders this passage thus, without asterisks: and it is itself turned round in the rudders, to work all things which He shall command them. Ibid. Aquila, in a steering. Colbertinus. Ibid. Symmachus, in the government, etc. All.

Notes and various readings on Chapter XXXIX of Job. V. 1. Theodotion, *nebron en petra*. Colbert and one Royal codex, which add this scholion: *anti tou, aigagron*, i. e., as if he were saying, wild goats. V. 2. Symmachus, *ērithmēsas de* etc. Drusius. However, in the Colbertine [codex] it is read: Aquila, Theodotion, *selēnēs*. V. 3. Symmachus, *apoballontai ta* etc. Colbert and one Royal codex. Theodotion, *ean dōsousin* etc. All are thus; but they vary in the first and second word. Drusius, *ean dōsōsi*. Nicetas, the Orator, one Royal codex, *ean dōsousin*. Colbert and the other Royal codex, *endōsousin*. Ibid. Aquila, Symmachus, *ōdinēsan, apoleipousin*. Two Royal [codices] and Nicetas. This verse with the three following, taken from Theodotion, are marked with asterisks in the Colbertine codex, where it is read: "From Theodotion, the four." V. 4. Symmachus, *plēthunein en agrōtēti*. Colbert and one Royal codex. Ibid. Symmachus, *exelthonta ouk* etc. The same. V. 6. Drusius thus has the readings of the three. The Colbertine meanwhile, Aquila, [Symmachus], *oikon aoikēton*. Ibid. Symmachus, *gēn autou*. One Royal codex. This verse, with an asterisk placed before it, is said to be from Theodotion in the Colbertine. V. 7. Aquila, *eisprakton*. Drusius. See Exodus v, 13. V. 9. Aquila, *rhinokerōs*. One Royal codex and Drusius. So also Jerome and Santes Pagninus. V. 10. *hē omalisei* etc. Colbert and one Royal codex. V. 11. Theodotion, *mē egkataleipsis* etc. Colbert and one Royal codex. V. 12. Symmachus, *apokatastēsei* etc. Colbert. The same. V. 13. Aquila, *pterugion* etc. The readings of Aquila and Symmachus are exhibited by the Orator, one Royal codex, Nobilius, and Drusius. Nicetas, however, adduces the interpretation of Symmachus alone. Jerome, *penna struthionis mixta est*. Ibid. Aquila, *erōdios*. Thus one Royal codex. *ei enagkalizetai* etc. Drusius. Polychronius, however, in Nicetas: "Actually, there is also the *asida*, a very large bird, but stupid, which Aquila interpreted as 'heron' and 'hawk'." Jerome, *alas herodionis et accipitris*. The following verses are marked with asterisks here and in the Colbertine codex and in the Latin edition of Jerome, because they were introduced into the Septuagint from Theodotion.
