ADMONITION ON THE BOOK OF PSALMS

In the recovering and emending of the readings of the Psalter, these books, both manuscript and published, have been employed by us: Codex Regius no. 1807, of excellent quality, of the tenth century, to which a manuscript in the Vatican is exactly similar and written by the same hand; so that not only pages, but even individual lines end with the same word. Codex Regius no. 1876, of the tenth century. Codex Regius no. 1877, of the eleventh century. Codex, tenth century, no. 1878, most elegantly transcribed, with depicted margins. Codex Colbertinus no. 646, recent. Another Colbertine codex, *stichēros*, or written with distinct verses, no. 5995, written in the year 1070. Codex Vaticanus no. 754, of the tenth century, from which we were able to obtain only sixteen readings of the Psalms. Codex Coislinianus, of the ninth or tenth century. Another older Coislinianus codex.

Notes and various readings on Psalm 1

V. 1. ^B 6., Ε', Γ', perfect junior, etc. From the notes of the Roman edition. It is truly strange that the translators rendered the word אִישׁ as they did, which they commonly and sometimes translate as man. Another reading, etc., which the Vatican codex produces without the name of the author, seems to be that of Symmachus. Where it is to be noted that the Vatican places the reading ^C Ε', Γ' before it, but not Theodotion. Indeed, the note of Theodotion prefaced there is suspect to me. Psalm 126:5, A., S., Th. translate אֲשֶׁר as blessed. Ibid. A., in the assembly of the ungodly. Thus one has it. Drusius. But Euthymius is thus in the Latin edition: Or otherwise, the counsel of the ungodly is to be understood as council and assembly, just ^D as Aquila and Theodotion have interpreted. Therefore Theodotion would not have translated "in counsel," unless there is an error in Euthymius regarding "the lawless." Thus the Vatican, without the name of the author; but it seems to be that of Symmachus. Ibid. A., And in the seat, etc. Drusius, and likewise the Vatican, has the readings of these translators thus. Jerome follows Aquila, which is very often observed in the Psalms. V. 2. The Vatican codex has it thus: A., Σ., Ε', Γ', where...

the words which intervene seem to have been omitted due to similarity. The word ἡμέρευσις is very rare.

V. 3. A., "And it shall be," etc. Thus one Royal codex from Origen. Jerome follows Aquila. Ibid. A., "Upon the outlets," etc. The Vatican codex exhibits these readings. Ibid. A., "And the leaf," etc. Thus the Vatican. But of the Colbertine codices, one has in the margin, ἀποπεσεῖται, without the name of the interpreter.

V. 4. Origenes, "Neither did the Hebrew double the word, nor did any of the interpreters." That is, Neither did the Hebrew duplicate the reading, nor any of the interpreters. The same thing, which Origen notes, Theodoret also annotates. However, in two Royal codices this note is read: "The second, 'not so,' is found in no one in the Hexapla." That is, that "not so," said a second time, exists in none in the Hexapla. Ibid. "Another, as dust." Vatican, without the name of the interpreter.

V. 5. A., Th., "In the gathering." Thus two manuscripts and Eusebius on the Psalms. Drusius, however, has: A., "In the gathering." Th., "In the assembly." S., "In the congregation." Another codex has the reading of Symmachus thus: ἐν ὁμίλῳ, in conversation. But as for the final reading, ἐν ὁδῷ, we preserve it from the Colbertine codex written in stichometry of the XI century: and it is perhaps a scholion.

HEXAPLA WHICH REMAIN: PSALM II

[The Hexaplaric Psalm II is provided in the synoptic table below, reproducing the Hebrew original (in Hebrew script and transliterated into Greek letters), the Septuagint translations, and the Latin versions provided by Migne.]

[alt-version omitted]

Notes and Various Readings on Psalm II

^A Regarding this Psalm, Origen notes the following in many manuscript codices: "I have encountered two Hebrew copies; in one, I found these to be the beginning of the second Psalm, but in the other, it was joined to the first. And in the Acts of the Apostles, the verse 'You are my son, today I have begotten you' is said to be from the first Psalm. For as it is written, he says, 'in the first Psalm, You are my son.' But the Greek copies signify that this is the second. In the Hebrew, however, in none of the Psalms is the number [of the Psalm explicitly written]."

PSALM II.

^A SYMMMACHUS. 1. Why do the nations rage? 2. And the prefects take counsel together. 3. Let us tear asunder. 4. He shall hold them in derision. 6. And I have anointed my king. 7. Announcing the command of the Lord. 9. You shall break them. 10. And now, O kings, understand. 12. Worship purely, lest He be wrathful.

SEPTUAGINT. 1. Why did the nations rage, And the peoples meditate vain things? 2. The kings of the earth stood by, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against His Christ. 3. Let us tear asunder their bonds. 4. He shall hold them in derision. Diapsalma. 5. He shall speak to them in His wrath, and in His fury He shall disturb them. 6. But I am appointed king by Him, upon Sion, His holy mountain, proclaiming the commandment of the Lord. 7. The Lord said to me: You are my Son, today I have begotten you. 9. You shall break them with a rod of iron. 10. And now, O kings, understand; be instructed, all you who judge the earth. 12. Lay hold of instruction, lest the Lord be wrathful, and you perish from the righteous way; when His wrath is suddenly kindled. Blessed are all who trust in Him.

THEODOTION. 1. Why did the nations rage? 2. The kings of the earth stood by, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against His Christ. 3. Let us tear asunder. 4. He shall hold them in derision. 5. He shall speak to them in His wrath, and in His fury He shall disturb them. 6. But I am appointed king by Him, upon Sion, His holy mountain, (V. and I have established my king, VI. and I have saved my king). 7. Proclaiming the command of the Lord (VI. announcing into God the covenant). The Lord said to me: You are my Son, today I have begotten you. 9. You shall break them. 10. And now, O kings, understand. 12. Lay hold of instruction, lest He be wrathful. Another: receive wisdom.

^B Notes and various readings on Psalm II. I.e., when we chanced upon two Hebrew copies, in one we found the beginning of the second psalm at this place; in the other, however, it was joined to the first. And in the Acts of the Apostles, that [saying], "You are my Son, today I have begotten you," is said to be from the first psalm. "For as it is written," he says, "in the first psalm, You are my Son." But the Greek copies indicate that this [psalm] is the second. In the Hebrew, indeed, no number is affixed to any of the psalms, whether first, or second, or third.

^A V. 1. Ἀ., why have they made an uproar, etc. The Vatican and Drusius have these readings of Aquila and Symmachus. Concerning this passage, Origen notes in one [codex of the] Kings: "The word indicates an indistinct sound of those making an uproar. But if the others had not interpreted it as 'upheaval,' one could say 'they behaved arrogantly.'" That is: It represents an unruly crowd of those rioting: but if the rest had not interpreted it concerning the tumult, one could say, "they acted arrogantly." But in Aquila, Origen reads, *ethorybēsan*, they have made a noise: which reading is not to be despised. Ibid. Ἀ., and [the words] *phyla*, etc. Vatican and Drusius. Jerome here seems to follow Aquila.

PSALM III

V. 2. Σ., they stand together, etc. Vatican and Drusius. V. 3. Σ., let us cut through. Vatican. V. 4. Ἀ., he will mock them; better, *mychthisei* [he will sneer]. Σ., he will laugh them to scorn. Vatican. Ibid. *Diapsalma*. The Origenian codices bear this note: "It does not exist in Symmachus and Theodotion." That is, it does not stand [in the text] of Symmachus and Theodotion. In some copies of the LXX, *Diapsalma* had been placed incorrectly. V. 5. Ἀ., he will call out. Vatican. Ibid. Ἀ., he makes haste. Vatican. V. 6. Ἀ., Ε' (The Quinta), and I, I was saved. Thus the Vatican and Drusius. But the Colbertinus codex [is] one, and [I]...

PSALM III

[Original-script column: see facsimile]

Notes and variant readings on Psalm III

V. 2. Ἀ., "Many were rising up against me." From the Vatican, which adds: Σ., Θ., "in like manner to the LXX," that is, Symmachus and Theodotion have [it] as the LXX. V. 3. Ἀ., "In God," etc. The Vatican has it thus: Ἀ., "In God." Σ., "by/through God." Θ., "in like manner to the LXX." Ibid. The Vatican has this note: Θ., Σ., *Diapsalma*, the E' (Quinta), *dia pantos* (continually). And throughout the whole book, they have translated the *diapsalma* in the same way. Origen deals with this matter more at length in the Treatise after the Preliminaries, where he adduces all the versions of the word *Selah*. V. 5. Ἀ., "I will call," etc. The same Vatican exhibits all these readings. Ibid. Ἀ., Ε', Γ', "and he will answer me." Vatican. But Theodoret says that Aquila translated [it as] "he answered me." Ibid. Ἀ., "out of the mountain of his holiness," etc. Thus the Vatican and Theodoret, who has "holy," as does Drusius. All exhibit the reading of Symmachus in like manner.

^A *I* shall save myself. Σ., And I have anointed, etc. (Vatican and Drusius). V. 7. Ἀ., announcing a tightening of the Strong One. Drusius and the Vatican present this reading without the name of the interpreter. But the latter, having cited it after the interpretation of the Seventy, appended a note indicating that it should be preferred over all others. Moreover, it is undoubtedly Aquila's, as is clear from the word *akribasmon*, which is much used by Aquila and peculiar to him. Other interpretations are held in the same Vatican and by Drusius. Ibid. Ἀ., The Lord said to me: "Thou art my son," etc. Thus two Royal manuscripts. Indicating in what way Aquila differs from the Seventy Interpreters, they note that Aquila has "my son, I have begotten." V. 9. Ἀ., Thou shalt smite them. (Vatican and Drusius). V. 10. Ἀ., And now, O kings, be instructed. One Royal manuscript, Vatican, and Drusius. The Vatican, however, does not provide the name of the interpreter. V. 12. Thus from the Vatican we derive the readings of Aquila and Symmachus, which are fuller than those of Drusius. The third reading, "take hold of instruction," comes from two Colbertine manuscripts, without the name of the interpreter. (*) The reading "I shall save myself" is worthless, proceeding from an unskilled scribe. *Ediasamēn* is indeed from the verb *diazomai*. Cf. the reading of Aquila in Judges 16:13.

PSALM III

SYMMACUS. 2. O Lord, why are they multiplied who harass me? Many rise up against me. Diapsalma. 5. In God. Diapsalma. 5. I cried out. From his holy mountain. Diapsalma. 8. For thou hast struck all my enemies on the jaw. 9.

LXX INTERPRETES. 2. O Lord, why are they multiplied who harass me? Many rise up against me. Diapsalma. 5. In God. Diapsalma. E., ever. G., to the end. And he heard me. E., G., and he will hear me. 5. From his holy mountain. Diapsalma. 8. For thou hast struck all those who hate me falsely. 9. Vacat. E., ever. G., to the end.

9.

^B Notes and various readings for Psalm III. Ibid. Diapsalma. Others, however, as above. V. 8. One Royal manuscript has the readings of Aquila and Symmachus. Eusebius remarks on this psalm that the sense of the Hebrew word is "jaw." But the Seventy, he continues, rendered it "falsely," either because the ancient copies had it otherwise, as some of the Hebrews say, or to avoid the baseness of the word, i.e., the Seventy Interpreters edited "falsely" either because the older copies varied, as some of the Hebrews testify, or to avoid the vulgarity of the word. Eusebius borrowed this from Origen, as you can see in the catena of Daniel Barbaro on this verse (*). V. 9. Sel. See above at verse 3. But the LXX do not place the *diapsalma* here; because, it seems, according to the meaning of the word, *diapsalma* is a certain pause placed in the middle of a psalm. It is also probable that Symmachus and Theodotion omitted the *diapsalma* here following their example.

(*) It is more likely that the LXX interpreters read [Hebrew text] instead of [Hebrew text]. Drach.

^B Notes and various readings to Psalm IV.

V. 1. Thus the Vatican [manuscript], Drusius, and other codices. The Vatican, however, reads "to the victor David." But others: "to David." Theodoretus puts forward the reading of Theodotion in this way: "to the victor-maker," etc. All others: "to the victor," rightly. At this point, it is fitting to adduce the note of Drusius: "The victor-maker," that is, "to him who makes the victory." Macarius the Egyptian, I know not where, says "makes victory for you" instead of "makes you to conquer," that is, *poiei se nikan*.

^C "To the victor." To this it is also attributed, "the victor-maker," as is clear from our fragments, "victor." Jerome cites it thus, and Eusebius in book x, *Demonstratio*. One must see Jerome in the Preface to Daniel. Furthermore, Habakkuk 3:19, in the Vulgate, is "to make me conquer."

^D A "victory song" is an ode which is sung on account of a victory obtained. Jerome, in the Preface to Daniel, says that it properly signifies a triumph or a palm. Moreover,

Sic illi. Now to Symmachus, from whom we departed. *Epinikion* is a type of song which was sung to victors, also called by another name, *kallinikos*. Gregory of Nyssa speaks of it in the Oration which he wrote on the Meeting of the Lord. But as for us, let us sing the victory hymn to the God who loves mankind. Victories and crowns are received from the King. *Epinikios* (victory song), *epinikia ago* (I celebrate victory), *triumpho* (I triumph). Thus far Drusius.

V. 8. “From the fruit of the wheat,” etc. The Vatican [manuscript] here notes, i.e., the three interpreters similarly. That it should be read “a tempore” [from a time] is certain, and Origen in [his commentary on] Daniel warns that it was formerly so positioned in the LXX from the beginning. In Hebrew, he says, “a tempore” is found. Even so the Septuagint composed it, so that the meaning of the whole expression might be: “In the time when the harvest of wheat, barley, and all legumes occurs, they have been multiplied.” Augustine likewise reads, “a tempore.” From Origen, therefore, we gather that, on account of a similarity in [the Greek], it was changed. That [passage], however, is marked with an obelus, because it is not in the Hebrew, nor in the other interpreters. V. 9. [See] Vatican and Drusius. Jerome follows Aquila, who translates, “specifically.”

Notes and variant readings for Psalm V.

V. 1. 'A., for the victor. S., epinikios [Triumphal]. Vaticanus, which adds, "and through the whole of Scripture," etc., i. e., and through all of Scripture. Naturally, they translate it thus in the entire book of Psalms. Th., for victory, as above in Psalm IV. Ibid. etc. Drusius. But it is probable that Aquila and Symmachus translated that, according to their custom, as in Psalm IV. From the Vaticanus. V. 3. The others, "I will pray." So the Vaticanus has it. Drusius, however, "I pray." V. 4. [Another], "and I will look," etc. So Chrysostom. [Another], "and I will look far." Vaticanus. Hesychius, however, in Daniel Barbarus has it thus: "I will see." Some have recorded, "you will see"; Aquila, "I will consider, and look," etc. Hence it is clear that one or the other of the cited Greek interpretations is Aquila's. V. 5. Vaticanus and Drusius. V. 6. The Vaticanus has it thus: "The LXX, the Three," etc., "neither shall they remain," by which it is signified that the LXX and the three Interpreters, namely A., S., Th., have it so. V. 7. Vaticanus. V. 8. "A., and I will worship," etc. These readings are exhibited [there].

Notes and various readings on Psalm V.

V. 9. The readings of Aquila and Symmachus are held by the Vatican [codex] and Drusius. Ibid. The readings of the three are exhibited by three manuscripts together with Drusius. Jerome, however, in his epistle to Sunnia and Fretela, [writes]: *Transtulerunt, Dirige in conspectu meo viam tuam* [They translated, Direct in my sight your way]. For which there is in the Greek, that is to say, *dirige in conspectu tuo viam meam* [direct in your sight my way]. Which neither the Septuagint nor Aquila, nor Symmachus, nor Theodotion possess; but only the common edition. Finally, I have also found it written thus in Hebrew: OSER LAPHANAI DARCHACH. Which all render with a similar voice: *Dirige in conspectu meo viam tuam* [Direct in my sight your way].

V. 10. Another of them [is] *insidiantem* [the plotter]. Thus one codex.

V. 11. Aquila, *proseriserant in te* [they have contended in you]. Vatican [codex].

V. 12. Aquila, *gauriabuntur* [they will rejoice]. Vatican codex and Drusius.

V. 13. The reading of Aquila is contained in the Vatican, one Royal [codex], and Drusius. Of Symmachus, one Royal [codex]: but I think it to be a scholion of Chrysostom, who says the following: that is, *You have walled us in with the best alliance*. But this explanation of Chrysostom was later taken by some for a reading of Symmachus. Perhaps because of the word *symmachia* [alliance].

PSALM VI

SYMMACHUS: 1. A triumphal song via psaltery. Canticum ipsi David [A song to David himself]. 2. Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger. 3. 6. A remembrance of you. 8. [I was] inflamed from bitterness. I was worn out because of those who afflict me. 9. 11. Greatly.

THE HEBRAIC TEXT: NOTES AND VARIOUS READINGS ON PSALM VI

V. 1. For the title, see above. V. 2. The Vatican edition presents the readings of Aquila and Symmachus for the whole verse, and it likewise sets forth the readings of Aquila and Theodotion for the following verse. (*) V. 3. "Another [reading], 'grant me'." The Vatican [Codex] seems to be Aquila entirely, for he translates it thus further down in Psalm IX and elsewhere in the Book of Psalms. V. 6. [...] (*) It is certain that either Aquila read 1271, with the letter Pe, or [the text] in Aquila himself should be read as *kolō* or, which is more probable, in the sense of the word [...]. See the word [...] or [...]. Drach.

Notes and various readings on Psalm VII.

V. 1. A., a psalm concerning ignorance etc. So Drusius and our Martianæus. Corderius and Drusius proffer the readings of Symmachus, *anognoma* (ignorance) to David. Martianæus brings forward the whole title according to Symmachus as we provide it. The word *psalmus* prefixed in some places seems suspect to us; it is more likely that Symmachus translated the word *anognoma*. In the Breviary which is attributed to Jerome, we read: A., for the ignorance of David, which he sang to the Lord for the words of the Ethiopian. S., for the ignorance of David, which he sang to the Lord for the words of Chusi, son of Jemini.

V. 5. A., if I have snatched etc. We borrow these readings from the Vatican, which notes that Theodotion has them as the LXX does.

V. 6. The Hebrew, page A., always etc., as above Psalm I, verse 3.

V. 7. A., in non-endurance etc. These readings come from Drusius and from mss. Drusius and the Vatican have, A., in non-endurance, which reading the Hebrew text confirms. Two read: in non-endurance. Ibid. Another: in judgment. Drusius.

V. 8. S., let it encircle you. So one. But Drusius brings this forward without naming the translator.

Ibid. One Colbertinus manuscript, The Hebrew, Oualsa, so it is expressed in the Hebrew word in Greek letters. The same codex brings forward the readings of Aquila and Theodotion, which Drusius had likewise brought forward, but without the name of the translators.

V. 9. Another, the Lord shall judge the peoples. So Drusius without naming the translator.

Ibid. A., according to my justice etc. Three codices and Chrysostom have the reading of Aquila. Drusius reads: O., that is, all, according to justice. Likewise one codex, A., S., O., Th., according to justice. Drusius was deceived by a similar mark; for, as has already been noted, when slight distinctions are found between interpreters, sometimes copyists, or even the authors themselves, neglect to note it. We borrow the reading of Symmachus from Drusius.

V. 10. We have restored the readings of the three interpreters from the mss., which were mangled and mutilated in Drusius.

Ibid. S., test the hearts and etc. So one Colbertinus manuscript. Another, *dokimazon* (testing). Coislin. parchment codex of the 11th or 12th century. It is, as it seems, the reading of Aquila, who is accustomed to translate the word in this way.

V. 12. The interpretations of Theodotion and the VI edition. One Colbertinus manuscript exhibits it thus in this same place.

PSALM VIII

[HEBREW TEXT] 1 [GREEK IN HEBREW CHARACTERS] 1. Lamanasse, al aggethith. HEBREW VERSION TEXT. 1. To the victor concerning the wine-presses. Hieron., to the victor concerning the wine-presses.

VULGATE LATIN. 1. Unto the end, for the wine-presses.

AQUILA. 1. To the victor concerning the wine-presses.

^A SYMMACHUS. 1. Triumphal song for the wine-presses. 1. Unto the end, concerning the wine-presses. 1. In victory concerning the getthitide.

Notes and various readings on Psalm VII.

Agellius discourses correctly: *God is a righteous judge, strong and patient: does He show anger every day?* This verse is more obscure, and the obscurity, if I am not mistaken, has been caused by a congestion of various interpretations, which is wont to happen in the edition of the LXX. For the word *fortis* [strong] is not in the LXX: for nowhere in the Psalms are they accustomed to render the Hebrew name ^B אֵל *el* in this way, but it is taken from the interpretation of Aquila, who is accustomed to translate it ἰσχυρόν, *strong*. Furthermore, the second name which follows, [and patient], flowed from another interpretation, comprising two Hebrew words אֵל זֹעֵם *el zoem*, *not being angry*, which is the same as *patient*, who is called in Greek μακρόθυμος. A third interpretation has also been added. *Does He show anger every day?* Which, whether the LXX or anyone else interpreted it, he understood not as if by interrogation, but by negation, thus: *And He does not show anger every day*; and Basil, Theodore of Antioch, Theodoret, and among our own writers, Augustine, etc., appear to understand it without an interrogation.

Ibid. A., *threatening* etc. So Drusius. Jerome follows this version of Aquila, as he very often does elsewhere in the psalms. He brings forward the following reading, *fretting* etc., without the name of the interpreter. ^C Drusius [notes it] as Symmachus; but it seems to be Symmachus'. Our Martianæus attributes the second version to Aquila, but attributes the first, which he assigns to Aquila, to Symmachus: I know not whence borrowed. Our manuscripts offer nothing here. Certainly I would believe the earlier version to be Aquila's, because in Ezek. xxi, 31, he translates דַּעַם *da'am* as ἀπειλή. In the Breviary of Jerome: *Which Aquila also translated, and he well says: Threatening and gnashing in every day*—the Coislin codex, [in the margin], *os, ζωών*, read *ζωώμ*.

V. 15. S., *the sword* etc. Vatican and Drusius. Ibid. S., *he will extend*. Thus I found it written in my papers, I know not from where; for which reason I have enclosed it in brackets. Furthermore, it seems to be Symmachus': for it is said in the future, as in the preceding reading of Symmachus. V. 15. *He shall bring forth*. Thus one Colbertine manuscript expresses the word יָלַד *yalad*. Ibid. A., *and he brought forth falsehood*. S., *and he conceived* etc. ^D We have culled the readings of Aquila and Symmachus from three manuscripts. V. 16. A., *in corruption* etc. S., *into corruption* etc. Two manuscripts.

Notes and various readings on Psalm IX. V. 1. Four manuscripts bring these various interpretations of the title with slight differences. For Aquila, Corderius alone reads: *neotetos*; for Symmachus, one Royal codex has: *huper tou huiou tou thanatou*, wrongly—for Theodotion, the same Royal codex [has]: *huper aichmes*. The Vatican codex brings the Hebrew words written in Greek: *al mwth bn*. [In the sixth reading, Montfaucon edited *neaniketos*, but in Latin, *juvenilitatis*. But without doubt, *neaniketos* must be read. Schleusner, in his *Opusc. crit.*, brings the following variety of readings from Origen’s *Selecta* on the Psalms: Symmachus, *huper tou thanatou tou huiou*. Aquila, *huper tes neotetos*. DRACH.] V. 3. A., Σ., *kai gauriaso*. Drusius. Corderius, however, has *allos, kai gauriasomai*, and thus Chrysostom in a certain Coislinian parchment codex. Ibid. and v. 4. Σ., *aso* etc. Thus one Royal [codex], Drusius, and Corderius, who reads *anastraphenton*. [Schleusner ibid.: In the version of Symmachus it ought to be restored: *proskopsanton*. For *proskoptein*, not *prokottein*, corresponds to the Hebrew verb *ksl*.] V. 5. A., *hupedikasas* etc. One Royal. V. 7. Hebr., *hgbwth*. Colbertinus, who assigns the last reading, marked in the Vatican and Drusius as Σ, to Theodotion. Ibid. *Allos*, *dinaneko*. Coislinian parchment. Ibid. Σ., *apolesas*. Thus one codex. Drusius, *apoleias* only, without indicating the interpreter. Ibid. Hebr., *emmh*. Drusius. Chrysostom had read *em*: but *emma* must be read. V. 8. Hebr., *ytysb*. Drusius from Chrysostom. A., *kathedeitai*. One Colbertine. Drusius however [does so] with the interpreter passed over in silence. Ibid. A., *hedrasen eis krisin* etc. Thus Colbertine and one Royal, from Apollinarius on Psalm LXXXVIII. Σ., *edrase krisei* etc. One Royal. V. 10. Drusius brings these readings of Aquila and Symmachus without the name of the interpreters; but one Royal assigns them to Aquila and Symmachus. Ibid. A., *eis kairon*. Σ., *epikairos*. One Royal and Corderius. V. 11. A., Σ., *kai pepoitheisousi*. Thus Theodoret: "Aquila and Symmachus used *pepoitheisousi* in the indicative mood instead of the imperative." Aquila and Symmachus, confident, said, using a verb of indicating instead of commanding. Ibid. *Allos*, *ou gar* etc. Thus one. V. 12. A., *to kathemeno*. Drusius. Ibid. A., *enallagas autou*. Σ., *tas mechanas autou*. Thus certain manuscripts with Agellius, Corderius, and Drusius. Chrysostom for Symmachus reads *mechanemata*. V. 14. A., *edoresato* etc. Thus one Royal. We already have seen Aquila very often translate the word *ntn* by *doreisthai*. V. 15. Σ., *tas dumnaseis* etc. One Colbertine. V. 16. *Allos*, *ebaptisthesan*. Drusius. It seems to be Symmachus, who translated the word *tby* as *ebaptisthen* in Psalm LXVIII, 3. V. 17. *Allos*, *egnosthe* etc. Drusius. Ibid. *Allos*, *tarson autou*. Drusius without the name of the interpreter. But it is, as it seems, Aquila, who translates the word thus in Psalm LXXVII, 72, and CXVIII, 119; Isaiah XLIX, 16. Ibid. Hebr., *hgywn sl*. One Colbertine. The Vatican, Colbertine, and Drusius have the readings of Aquila and Symmachus. The Colbertine [has that] of Theodotion, as also the following, *melodema*. V. 18. A., *anastrefousi*. Colbertine. V. 19. *Allos*, *ou gar eis* etc. Drusius. Ibid. *Allos*, *he prosdokia praeon*. The same.

V. 20. A., let not man be bold. Corderius, and likewise Drusius, but with the interpreter passed over in silence. Ibid. *Allos*, before your face. Corderius. V. 21. A., put O Lord etc. Three readings from the Vatican, one Colbertine, and Drusius. But the Colbertine ascribes that which is Theodotion’s to Aquila. Ibid. Hebr., etc. See above, Psalm III, 3. V. 1. The Hebrews divided this psalm into two; why they did so, see Theodoret on Psalm CXV. Concerning this matter, Agellius speaks thus: That which a certain most learned man of our age has written, that this division of the psalm was done by more recent Hebrews and not recognized by the ancients, is incorrect, since the Hebrew distinction is in the Hexapla of Origen, and the other interpreters, and even the Syrian, have numbered the tenth psalm from this place, and have divided it from the former: which also the Greek scholion in the Greek catena testifies in these words: thence the edition takes the beginning of the tenth psalm. Ibid. A., etc. From the Vatican and from Drusius. V. 2. A., it burns. Drusius. The Vatican, however... In the verb *burning*, the most frequent omission is in the oldest Greek codices, as we have often observed in the Commentaries of Eusebius on the psalms. S., it is scorched. Vatican and Drusius. Ibid. A., let them be caught. Chrysostom. V. 3, 4. We have restored this passage, which was mutilated and lacked the names of the interpreters in Drusius, from one Regius, one Colbertine, and the Vatican. Chrysostom, however, attributes the first reading to Symmachus, the second to Aquila. Ibid. A., etc. Colbertine. Drusius, however, has brought it forward without the name of the interpreters. [From the catena of the Fathers, ed. Corderius, p. 185, add this reading: *according to the multitude of his high-mindedness*. DRACH.] Ibid. Drusius. It seems, however, to be that of Symmachus, who translates *ennioia* (counsel) in Job XXI, 27. There is also another version in Drusius. V. 5. Drusius. Colbert. *sticheros* written. Ibid. etc. One Regius. V. 6. We borrow this full passage of Symmachus from the Colbertine and from one Regius. V. 7. etc. Colbertine *sticheros* written. Ibid. A., useless. Drusius.

Another, the impious will walk about in a circle. Thus one codex. Ibid. We borrow the Hebrew reading from Chrysostom. ^D We learn the authors of the remaining versions from the Vaticanus. Drusius, however, had brought them forward without the name of the interpreters. (*) The Hebrew reading in St. Chrysostom, Montfaucon edition, sounds thus: *charm zollo lebi adam*. But Drusius reports the same thus: *charm zolloth lebi adam*. And adds: I think it should be read *chrym*, or certainly *chram*. But this is less genuine. DRACH.

PSALM XII. SYMMACUS. 1. A triumphal canticle of David. 2. Until when, O Lord, will you forget me to the end? LXX INTERPRETERS. 1. For the end, a psalm of David. 2. Until when, O Lord, will you forget me to the end? THEODOTIO. 1. For the victor, a psalm of David. 2.

Until when, O Lord, will you forget me to the end? Until when will you turn your face from me? 3. Until when will I put counsels in my soul, and sorrow in my heart by day? Until when will my enemy be exalted over me? 4. Look upon me, hear me, O Lord my God; enlighten my eyes, lest I sleep in death. 5. Lest my enemy should say, "I have prevailed against him." Those who afflict me will rejoice if I am moved. 6. But I have hoped in your mercy; my heart will rejoice in your salvation; I will sing to the Lord who distributes good things to me, and I will chant to the name of the Lord the Most High.

PSALM XIII

VERSION OF THE HEBREW TEXT 1. To the victor, a psalm of David. Hieron., to the victor, a psalm of David. He said, the churl. Hieron., he said, the fool. 4. Had not all who work iniquity known? Hieron., had not all who work iniquity known? They have eaten bread. Hieron., as food of bread.

AQUILA 1. To the victor, a psalm of David. He said overflowing. 4. Did they not know, all who work useless things?

Notes and various readings on Psalm XIII. V. 1. Thus one codex as above for all interpreters. See Psalm VI. Ibid. A., He said overflowing. See the note above 1 Kings XXV, 25. Vatican in these words: "Their throat is an open sepulchre," to "before their eyes," which are at the margin and not written in the text, these it notes, being nowhere placed among the Psalms. Where the Apostle took them from is to be sought, id.

[Notæ et variæ lectiones ad Psalmum XII.]

In the Hebrew, the same things are found in the notes of the Roman edition, and likewise the scholion of Hesychius, which regards the former words of this verse, namely: "I will sing to the Lord," etc., and it has it thus: "I will sing to the Lord," this verse, two orders of the seventy-two translators, I said; because the sign made by ink lies beside it, which is called a lemniscus: by the middle line it signifies the verse: by the two points, one above and the other below, it indicated the two orders of the interpreters themselves. Concerning this matter, it is treated in the Preliminaries.

PSALM XIII

SYMMACHUS. 1. A triumphal song of David. 4. Shall not all who work iniquity know it? As bread.

LXX INTERPRETES. 1. To the end, a psalm of David. The fool hath said. 4. Shall not all who work iniquity know it? By eating of bread.

PSALM XIV

THE HEBREW. 4. נשבע להרע ולא ימיר

VERSION OF THE HEBREW TEXT. 4. He swore to afflict himself, and will not change. Jerome, He swore to afflict himself, and will not change.

THE HEBREW (in Greek characters) 4. AQUILA. 4. Swearing to afflict and not being tripped.

VULGATA LATINA 4. He who swears to his neighbor, and does not deceive.

AQUILA 4. He who swears so that he might afflict himself, and does not fail.

Note. Upon this psalm we borrow these few things from Drusius and from the Vatican. The latter, after he had brought forward the reading of Symmachus, namely, *ho mosas etairos* [swearing to a companion], adds, "and not changed," A., Th., "to afflict," and consequently, A., S., "not being tripped." That, however, *ou sphalē* [not being tripped], these Hebrew words undoubtedly look to, which are translated above by Symmachus thus: *kai mē allageis* [and not changed].

Jerome, it is not well with me without you. 3. And the glorious ones, all my desire is in them. Jerome, and in the magnificent ones is all my desire in them. 4. They shall be multiplied, their idols; those who run after others. Jerome, their idols shall be multiplied: after the backward ones following. I will not pour out their libations of blood. Jerome, id. 6. Lines have fallen to me. Jerome, id. In pleasant things. Jerome, in the most beautiful. 9. My glory. Jerome, id. 11. A sufficiency of joys. Jerome, a fullness of joys. With your faces.

LXX INTERPRETERS. 4. Who swears to his neighbor, and does not deceive.

Note. That two versions of Symmachus are brought forward in the same place; unless perhaps that 'A., where 'Σ' is, and 'οὐ σφάλῃ' for 'A., Θ., οὐ σφάλῃ' has been set down. We have observed above in the books of Kings that two versions of Symmachus had been edited, and indeed not infrequently.

PSALM XV.

^B SYMMACUS. 1. Of the humble and innocent David. Guard me, O God, for I have hoped in thee. 2. There is no good to me without thee. 3. In the great ones is all my will. 4. Their idols were multiplied, they hastened backward. 6. The lines have fallen to me. In the most beautiful. 9. 11. A fullness of joys. With thy face.

HEXAPLORUM QUÆ SUPERSUNT. Notes and various readings on Psalm XV.

V. 1. We derive all these readings from the Vatican codex. Jerome follows Aquila here, as he very frequently does elsewhere. Ibid. ... etc. Thus the two Royal [codices]. The Vatican, however, [reads] ὡμοίως τοῖς Ο'. The LXX have, however, Lord (Κύριε). But the Vatican overlooked this small difference. V. 2. The Vatican, Theodoret, Eusebius, and Drusius have the readings of Aquila and Symmachus. The lattermost reads toward Symmachus, but the Vatican, Theodoret, and Eusebius [read] *agathon moi*, which is better. Jerome follows Symmachus here. V. 3. The Vatican and Drusius have the readings of these three. V. 4. Here is a great variety of exemplars. The Vatican and Drusius [read] ... Agellius reads in this same way.

[Notes and various readings for Psalm XVI.] V. 1. The Vatican manuscript has it thus: [A, Σ, of the David.] That is, Aquila and Symmachus: "of David."

Notes and various readings to Psalm XVII V. 1. We have recovered the titles of the versions partly from Eusebius on the Psalms, and partly from two manuscripts. V. 2. A., S., "my rock." One codex, the Regius, and Eusebius. V. 7. This note is contained in two Regius manuscripts: "hail and coals of fire." Thus one Regius. It is to be noted, however, that this verse did not exist in the version of the LXX, but was added from the edition of Theodotion. Regarding which matter, Jerome to Sunias and Fretela says: "But it must be known that it was added in the Septuagint Translators, from the Hebrew and from the edition of Theodotion, under an asterisk."

Notes and various readings concerning Psalm XVIII

V. 1. The interpretations of the titles are derived from the Colbertine codex, and likewise from Eusebius and Theodoret. V. 3. "Day unto day," etc. Thus one Royal manuscript. In the interpretation of Symmachus, there are those who read "will announce," it will indicate. V. 4. Aquila, "For there are no speeches," etc. From one Royal manuscript. The version of Symmachus, however, is from two Royal manuscripts. V. 5. "Of them." Thus Drusius. [Hebrew word] is *kanon*, standard, line. Symmachus: "But into all the earth is gone out their sound." It seems Symmachus read [Hebrew words]. For often he translates *echos* (sound), and certainly the second part of the verse seems to favor this reading and interpretation: "and unto the ends of the world their words." Ibid. Readings of Aquila, Symmachus, Theodotion, and the Vulgate edition, from four manuscripts and from Eusebius in the Psalms.

^A ...one [manuscript] has, Symmachus and Theodotion similarly to the Septuagint, "deliver me from the gainsayings." Symmachus, "they shall be dishonored." ^B ...and so Theodoret. Another Royal [manuscript], "they were dishonored." V. 47. LXX, "and blessed be my God." V. 48. Symmachus, "the God who provides," etc. Eusebius. V. 49. LXX, "my deliverer," etc. Thus two manuscripts.

Notes and various readings on Psalm XVIII

...we give sincere ones. Drusius presents the Syriac Interpreter from the *Questions* which circulate under the name of Justin Martyr. V. 6. "All, to run a way." Thus two codices. But the word "his," following in the LXX, because it is not in the Hebrew, is marked with an obelus, as Jerome notes. V. 8. "Blameless." Another, "pure." One codex and Eusebius. V. 9. "Ordinances." Another, "exact ordinances." Another, "statutes." One Coislinian. V. 10. "Holy." One Coislinian. V. 13. "Offenses." Drusius. Coislinian 1. V. 14. And from the proud, etc. Drusius attributes this version to Symmachus. But the Colbert, one Royal, Eusebius, and Corderius ascribe it to Aquila. It seems to be of both. ^D

Aquila: 1. Victor, a psalm of David. 2. 4. Semper. 7. 8.

Notes and variant readings on Psalm XIX. V. 1. Regarding the inscription, it has been treated frequently above. V. 2. "Another," may he place before you, etc. Coislinianus. Indeed, these three readings seem to be Aquila, Symmachus, and Theodotion. V. 4. Symmachus, and may he make your offering fat. Thus one codex. Another reads, "fat," but less correctly. The remaining readings are from Drusius. Ibid. Heb. Selah, etc. See above Psalm III. V. 7. Symmachus, unexpectedly. Thus one codex.

THEODOTION. 1. In victory, a psalm of David. 2. 4. Diapsalma. 7. 8. But we shall call upon the name of the Lord our God.

Notes and various readings on Psalm XIX. Symmachus rendered the Hebrew word that is at Ps. LXXXIX, 10, with the same sense, i.e., "beyond expectation." The Coislinian manuscript has in this place, "In power of salvation is the right hand." But the other reading seems preferable, unless there were two versions of Symmachus, as elsewhere. V. 8. Daniel Barbarus cites the version of Theodotion, such as it is expressed today in our Vulgate.

For you shall place them as a back in your remnants; you shall prepare your face against them. Jerome, for you shall set them shoulder; your cords you shall establish against their faces.

VULGATE LATINA. 9. May your hand be found by all your enemies: may your right hand find all who hate you. 12. For they have declined evil toward you. They have devised counsels which they could not establish. 13. For you shall place them as a back; in your remnants you shall prepare their face.

AQUILA. 9. 12. 13. For you shall place them as a shoulder, with your cords you shall establish [them] upon their face.

Notes and various readings on Psalm XX. V. 1. Much has been treated regarding the title. V. 5. The Septuagint, and the desire. Another, a prayer. The former reading once placed in the Bibles was changed into prayer from another copy. V. 5. Thus from manuscripts and Drusius. V. 7. You will make glad, etc. Thus manuscripts. But Theodoret and Corderius read, from your face. Drusius. V. 9. Symmachus, he will overtake, etc. Thus Theodoret, two manuscripts, and Drusius. One codex has, all the.

My God, I will cry to you by day, and you will not answer, and by night, and not for lack of understanding of me. 4. But you are holy, dwelling in the praises of Israel. 13. Many bulls have surrounded me; fat bulls have beset me round. 14. I have been poured out like water, and all my bones are scattered; my heart has become like wax melting in the midst of my bowels. 15. My strength has dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue is glued to my throat, and you have brought me down to the dust of death. 16. For many dogs have surrounded me; a company of evildoers has beset me round; they have dug my hands and my feet. 17. They have numbered all my bones; and they have stared and looked upon me. 18. They divided my garments among themselves, and upon my vesture they cast lots. 21. Deliver my soul from the sword, and my only one from the hand of the dog. 24. For he has not despised nor abhorred the supplication of the poor, neither has he hid his face from me; but when I cried to him, he heard me. 26. My praise is of you in the great assembly; I will pay my vows before those who fear him. 28. All the kindreds of the nations shall worship before him. 30. All the fat ones of the earth have eaten and worshipped: all those who go down to the dust shall bow before him. 31.

Notes and various readings for Psalm XXI

V. 1. Thus we have elicited the readings of the titles from the manuscripts. Agellius has [this] for Symmachus. Thus the manuscripts and Eusebius in *Demonstratio evangelica*. Drusius attributes the former reading to Symmachus, but erroneously. Ibid. We have elicited this note from two manuscripts: [...] i.e., "attend to me," which does not exist in the Hebrew, but only in the Septuagint. Vulgate: "look upon me." Ibid. Aquila, Septuagint: "Why have you forsaken me?" Thus Drusius from Eusebius's *Demonstratio evangelica*. Ibid. Aquila: "far off," etc. We have excerpted all these readings from our manuscripts and from Drusius. Corderius, on Aquila, has "of my roar," erroneously. Theodoret says this about this place: It is manifest that the Seventy Interpreters read *sha'agathi* ("my roaring") for [the Hebrew text]. That is to say, it must be known that none of the other interpreters made mention of a fault; but Aquila has "my roaring"; Symmachus, "my groanings"; Theodotion, "my cry" (*). V. 3. Aquila, Symmachus, etc. Thus in the codex of Eusebius's *Demonstratio evangelica*. Ibid. Aquila, "and by night and there is no silence." And "by night and you will not be silent." But note that "there is no silence" is to be added. Our Martianæus reads [this]. Martianæus himself has the same for Symmachus and Theodotion. Another [manuscript]: "not for folly." Two Coislinian [manuscripts]. Ibid. Aquila, Symmachus, Theodotion: "a hymn." The same.

(*) It is manifest that the LXX interpreters read *sha'agathi* for [Hebrew text]. Drach.

^B Notes and various readings on Psalm XXI. V. 13. Aquila otherwise: Bulls, fat ones enclosed me. Another way: Powerful ones of Bashan set themselves as witnesses against me. Heifers, bulls, fat ones—which he never paraphrases. Our manuscripts exhibit these various readings of Aquila. The first, as it stands, does not seem to be Aquila's; for he would not have translated one word with three, which he is not wont to do. The second reading seems more genuine; the third reading is attributed in two manuscripts to Aquila, and in others to Theodotion. Two manuscripts have the reading of Symmachus thus. V. 14. Aquila, Sim, etc. Colbertinus and Eusebius have these readings of Aquila and Symmachus. V. 15. I was poured out, etc. The most ancient Codex Regius exhibits this note: "I was poured out with the 8th [letter/marker] lies in the Hexapla among all," and Eusebius and Apollinarius write likewise.

Notes and various readings on Psalm XXIV. The [standard text] is written lineally, in the King’s copy and the Theodore [copy]. But others [read differently], and Daniel Barbarus reads so: Aquila translated "secret of the Lord"; Symmachus, "dialogue of the Lord"; Theodotio and the Quinta edition, "secret of the Lord." The same [reading is found] in Eusebius, who has it thus in our edition: which reading is confirmed also in other places, where Symmachus translates the Hebrew word *sod* as "utterance." Thus Psalm LIV, 15, and Job XV, 8.

Ibid. A., and the covenant, etc. Drusius. But in that place it should rather be read "make known," for the sake of making it known. However, Corderius’s copy and one Coislinian copy have the reading of Symmachus. And another Coislinian [copy] has for the word […], Aquila, Symmachus, Quintan, omit "to them"; Theodotio and B., omit "of them." But what that B. means, we do not know. V. 16. A., monk. Symmachus, alone. A., Theodotio, I am. Symmachus, broad places from my constraints. Ibid. A., etc. Drusius. V. 17. etc. The same. Ibid. A., one Colbertine and Drusius.

Notes and various readings on Psalm XXV

Regius and the Coislinianus manuscripts. The interpreter of Theodoret translates "palace." But, as Schleusner makes clear, this version pertains to the following verse, which the LXX rendered as "the beauty of your house." Behold the words of Theodoret: "Instead of beauty, Symmachus has placed 'palace,'" i.e., for "beauty," Symmachus put "palace." [Drach.] V. 9. S., "and with men." Regius one and Coislinianus from Theodoret. V. 12. S., "in the plain." Drusius.

11. Teach me, O Lord, Thy way. 12. There have risen up against me false witnesses; and falsehood is uttered. 13. Had I not believed to see the good things of the Lord.

^B Notes and various readings to Psalm XXVI. V. 9. The readings of Aquila and Symmachus are in the two Royal codices, one Colbertinus, and Eusebius; but Eusebius and Theodoret have another reading from an anonymous source, namely the one they record in the text: as does also one Coislinianus, in whose margin is read, Theodoret, Drusius and certain MSS. (*) V. 12. A., they stood against me. Thus Theodoret. Colbertinus, however, has it written verse-by-verse, they rose against me. Ibid. A., false witnesses. Same codex. Drusius, however, has, S., false witnesses. A., S., and injustice appeared. Ibid. A., ^C and injustice appeared. Corderius attributes this version to Aquila, but Drusius to Symmachus. Drusius rendered Aquila's version only in Latin in this way: and injustice appeared. But Corderius translated it: and injustice was abolished. V. 13. Colbertinus and Eusebius have the version of Aquila and Symmachus. (*) In Drusius's Miscellanea, cent. 1, chap. 65, we read: "In the Theodoretean readings, Ps. XXVI; for 'Set a law for me,' Aquila and Theodotion said 'Enlighten me.' The passage is suspected of corruption. For in Euthymius, it is quoted as Aquila, who here translated it 'Teach me'." And afterwards Drusius cites the actual words of Euthymius. DRACH.

Notes and various readings on Psalm XXVIII. V. 1. Two royal [manuscripts] have this note in the title: "I did not find this inscription in the Hexapla, but in certain copies." Ibid. The Seventy Interpreters present two versions here. The prior is, "Bring to the Lord, O sons of God," which was marked with an obelus; the other, "Bring to the Lord the sons of rams," was taken from other interpreters. Eusebius has these words on this psalm: "But the sons of the rams." And I say this according to the Hebrew recollection, according to which the phrase "Bring to the Lord, O sons of God" is not produced. Wherefore it is marked with an obelus among those of the Seventy as not existing either in the Hebrew exemplar or among the remaining interpreters. From this, indeed, it is clear that [not]...

To you, O Lord, I will cry, and to my God I will pray. What is the utility in my blood, while I descend into corruption? Shall the dust confess to you, or announce your truth?

PSALM XXIX.

^A Notes and various readings on Psalm XXVIII. Only those things which were entirely extraneous, and which had not been translated from the Hebrew, were marked with an obelus; but sometimes also those things which were thought not to be correctly expressed from the Hebrew by the LXX Interpreters, as may be seen in this example.

Ibid. Drusius. V. 2. We borrow the readings of Aquila and Symmachus from Eusebius and from two manuscripts. Corderius reads it twice [which seems to be the true reading, for both Interpreters almost always make use of that word to express elegance. DRACH.] V. 6. So the manuscripts and Drusius. However, the edition of Corderius [reads] *quante*. Ibid. Eusebius, who says the word signifies princes. Drusius. V. 8. The readings of this verse were supplied by Drusius and one codex. V. 9.

Shall the dust confess to you, or will it announce your truth?

13. That glory may sing to you, and may not be silent. Jerome: That glory may praise you, and may not be silent.

Notes and various readings on Psalm XXIX. V. 2. A., you have saved me. Thus one of the Kings, and Jerome also appears to have read this way, who very often follows Aquila, and translates, you have saved me. Daniel also, the Barbarus, reads, you have preserved me. Drusius. A., you have caused me to ascend. Corderius in the Catena, A., you have renewed me. V. 4. Drusius. V. 5. The readings of Aquila and Symmachus are held as follows by Drusius. V. 6. A., that a gathering in his wrath. Thus in the manuscripts. Drusius, gathering only. However, this word is better translated here as hastening, if I am not mistaken, than as accumulation. Ibid. E., in his reconciliation. Agellius brings forward this reading. V. 7. E., in my desolation. Drusius. V. 8. The reading of Symmachus is extracted from Drusius, and from manuscripts, one of which has "he stood." Ibidem at the word—

Notes and various readings on Psalm XXIX. Three interpretations are observed from the variety of reading. Aquila and the V edition, which Jerome follows, read *to my mountain*, as it is read today in the Hebrew text. Symmachus, who translated *to my forefather*, no doubt read *li-hori* (genitori meo), from *hor*, a begetter. The LXX Interpreters, who translated *to my beauty*, read *li-yofi*.

V. 13. Manuscripts, Drusius, and Theodoret, who reads *keep silence*, offer the reading of Symmachus. The Colbertine manuscript has the reading of Theodotion. Agellius offers the final two readings without the name of the interpreter.

VERSION OF THE HEBREW TEXT. 20. How much is your good, which you have hidden for those who fear you. Jerome: How great is your kindness, which you have hidden for those who fear you. 21. In a hut. Jerome: In shadow. 22. Blessed be the Lord, for he has made his mercy wonderful to me in a fortified city. Jerome: Blessed be the Lord, for he has made his mercy wonderful to me in the fortified city. 23. And I said in my haste. Jerome: And I said in my amazement.

VULGATA LATINA. 20. How great the multitude of your sweetness, O Lord, which you have hidden for those who fear you. 21. In the tabernacle. 22. Blessed be the Lord, for he has made his mercy wonderful to me in the fortified city. 23. But I said in the excess of my mind.

AQUILA. 20. How much is your good, which you have hidden for those who fear you. 23. And I said in my amazement.

Notes and variant readings to Psalm XXX. V. 1. Eusebius in Psalms: It is not in the Hebrew text, nor does the description contain any "excess." One manuscript of the Royal (Library) notes on this psalm: "We have learned the moderation of his mind from all the translators." I.e., By all the interpreters we have learned the modesty of his mind. V. 2. Symmachus, *in the mercy*. So Eusebius and one codex. V. 4. Aquila, Symmachus, *my rock*. Drusius. Ibid. Aquila, *and you shall sustain me*. One Colbertinus. V. 10. Aquila: *that it is narrow for me*. So the manuscripts. Others, truly, *narrow to me*. Ibid. Aquila: *I have been darkened* etc. Theodoret, one Colbertinus, and Drusius have these readings. V. 11. Symmachus: *it was consumed*. Drusius. Eusebius, two manuscripts, and Drusius exhibit the following readings of Aquila and Symmachus. V. 12. Aquila. Drusius. V. 14. Aquila. The same. V. 16. The Hebrews and... of the other translators.

VERSION OF THE HEBREW TEXT. 2. Nor is there guile in his spirit. Jerome: Idem. 3. For I was silent, my bones grew old in my roaring all the day. Jerome: For I was silent, my bones were worn away: in my roaring all the day. 4. My moisture was turned into the dryness of summer. Jerome: I was turned in my misery, when the summer was burning. Selah. Jerome: Continually.

SYMMACHUS. 20. How much is your good, which you hid for those who fear you. 21. In shelter. 22. Blessed be the Lord who made his mercy glorious to me as in a fortified city. 23. But I said in my consternation.

LXX INTERPRETERS. 20. How great is the multitude of your sweetness, O Lord, which you have hidden for those who fear you. 21. In a tabernacle. 22. Blessed be the Lord, for he has made his mercy wonderful in a city of fortification. 23. But I said in the excess of my mind.

THEODOTION. 20. 21. 22. 23. I said in the excess of my mind.

Notes and various readings on Psalm XXX. To Symmachus. V. 21. S., in shelter. Drusius. V. 22. Eusebius, etc. But others, the one who made glorious. So four manuscripts, Theodoretus and Drusius. I judge this reading to be preferable: for it agrees with the Hebrew. And Eusebius's reading appears to have been corrupted by copyists; for after he brought forward the reading of Symmachus, he added an explanation congruent to the word. V. 23. Thus the mss. Drusius, however, has the reading of Aquila and Symmachus; others also that of Theodotion.

V. 18. One Colbertinus, Eusebius and Drusius. But the first two have hades. V. 20. Theodoretus and Daniel Barbarus attribute this version to Aquila and Symmachus, and rightly so, I think. Two manuscripts and Drusius ascribe it to Symmachus alone. Theodoretus, however, reads, "that deposit," is another version which perhaps pertains...

6. For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found; surely in the flood of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him. Hieron., For this shall every merciful one pray unto thee, finding a time, that when great waters have flooded, they may not approach him.

8. I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way wherein thou shalt go; I will guide thee with mine eye. Hieron., I will teach thee, and will show thee the way by which thou shalt walk. I will consult over thee with mine eye. Hieron., I will think of thee with mine eye.

11. And shout for joy. Hieron., and praise.

^B 5. [THE HEBREW] 5. I said, I will confess my transgression unto the Lord, and thou hast taken away the iniquity of my sin, perpetually. 6. For this shall every godly one pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found; surely in the flood of great waters, they shall not reach unto him. 8. I will instruct thee and teach thee in this way wherein thou shalt walk. I will advise thee, mine eye [being] upon thee. 11. And shout for joy.

^C VULGATE LATIN 5. I said, I will confess against me my injustice unto the Lord. And thou hast remitted the impiety of my sin. 6. For this shall every saint pray in an opportune time. But in the deluge of many waters they shall not approach unto him. 8. I will give thee understanding, and I will instruct thee in this way in which thou shalt walk. I will fix mine eyes upon thee. 11. And rejoice.

Notes and various readings to Psalm XXXI. V. 2. From Jerome, Letter to Sunnia and Fretela. V. 3. Eusebius has a part of the reading of Aquila. The manuscripts and Drusius present the whole. Eusebius and the manuscripts bring forward the reading of Symmachus. One Colbertine manuscript and Agellius read *apesigesa*; the others read *apesiophesa*. We borrow the reading of Theodotion from the Colbertine manuscript. V. 4. The manuscripts and Drusius have the readings of Aquila, Symmachus, Theodotion, and the Fifth [version]. Regarding the word, see above, Psalm III. V. 5. Sigma, O', *eipa* etc. From Agellius. Ibid. The manuscripts and Drusius have the reading of Aquila thus. But the reading of Symmachus is reported variously. Drusius has it; one Colbertine manuscript and also Eusebius [have] *ten amartian*. But the same Eusebius, with some things inserted, has it thus: which reading Agellius favors, who rendered the version of Symmachus into Latin thus: that thou mayest take away the impiety of my sin.

Notes and various readings for Psalm XXXI.

There is, however, some suspicion that [i]anomian[/i] (injustice) was read for [i]asebeian[/i] (impiety) formerly in Symmachus: for he translates the word thus later in Ps. XLVIII. And the reading of Drusius above seems to suggest that [i]anomian[/i] had been changed into [i]anomon[/i] (unjust), and as Eusebius brought it forward, so he composes his own exposition like the reading of Symmachus above, so that he appears to have read [i]anomian[/i]: hence one might conjecture that copyists transferred it from the version of the Seventy into the version of Symmachus.

V. 6. Symmachus, "concerning this he will pray," etc. Thus Eusebius and the mss. But Drusius, *concerning this*. Below, Drusius omits *you*, but it is read in the mss. and is expressed from the Hebrew.

V. 8. We borrow the reading of Aquila from the mss. In Drusius it is omitted. In the version of Symmachus one reads "you will teach," another "afterwards," another "you will walk." Ibid. Symmachus, "I will take counsel," etc. Thus Eusebius, two mss., and Drusius.

Notes and various readings on Psalm XXXII. Eusebius in the Psalms: "According to the Hebrew reading, and according to the other interpreters, this psalm lacks an inscription." I.e., according to the Hebrew reading, and according to the other interpreters, this psalm is without an inscription. V. 1. One royal manuscript has: "Everywhere, rejoice." Aquila says, "Praise," and Symmachus interpreted, "Acclaim." Ibid. Aquila, "to the upright," etc. Drusius and the MSS. V. 3. Symmachus, "diligently play," etc. One codex.

Notes and various readings on Psalm XXXII

V. 8. A. [Aquila], "they shall be withdrawn." Thus Theodoret and two manuscripts. Daniel Barbarus and Drusius have provided only the Latin version of this word, as "they shall be formed"; but it is better, if I am not mistaken, to translate it as "they shall be restrained."

V. 14. All manuscripts have the version of Aquila in this way; but Drusius brings forward the interpretation of Symmachus thus: "from the seat of his dwelling." Others have, "from the stable dwelling," etc., which reading I think should be preferred [to the other].

V. 15. S. [Symmachus], "He who fashions separately." Thus Eusebius and one manuscript. In place of this, Drusius has "separately," and he cites this single word of Symmachus. It is also read as "together," "separately."

V. 16. S. [Symmachus], "nor the strong man," etc. We borrow this reading from one Royal manuscript.

Because he has smoothed to himself in his own eyes, to find his iniquity to hate it. Heb. int. ... in his eyes he has acted deceitfully, to find his iniquity and to hate it. Hieron., the wicked man said in the midst of his heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes. Because he has acted deceitfully against him in his own eyes: that he might find his iniquity to hate it. 4. He has ceased to understand to do good. Hieron., he has ceased to think to do good. 5.

4. He refrained from understanding that he might do well. 5. He will not reject evil. 6. Thy firmness is even to the ether.

LXX INTERPRETERS. 2, 3. The lawless man says to sin in himself; there is no fear of God before his eyes. For he has dealt deceitfully before Him, to find his iniquity and to hate [it].

4. He did not wish to understand to do good. 5. But he has not hated evil. 6. Thy truth [is] even to the clouds. 7. Thy justice [is] as the mountains of God. Thy judgments. Others: Accurate statutes. Others: Precepts.

THEODOTION. 2, 3.

[VARIOUS READINGS:] V. 17. The others: O Lord, how many... My lonely soul. S.: My solitude. A.: They who hate me without cause. S.: Not to be quiet. V. 23. S.: Unto the justice. A.: He will celebrate thee. S.: All the day. V. 28. Idem. Ibid. Idem.

Notes and various readings on Psalm XXXV. V. 1. Eusebius’ note: "Neither a psalm, nor an ode, nor is aught of this kind inscribed." I.e., neither a psalm, nor a canticle, nor is anything similar inscribed. V. 2 and 3. Eusebius produces the reading of the Hebrew. Eusebius and Drusius [produce] the reading of Symmachus: at the end of which Eusebius and one Colbertinus read [Greek], but Drusius, [Greek]. V. 4. S., "he refrained," etc. Thus the Colbertinus is written "stichadically." V. 5. Certain manuscripts and Drusius produce all these readings. But one Regius for "he will reject" has "he will reject." V. 6. S., "Thy steadfastness [reaches] unto the ethers." Thus one Regius, one Colbertinus, and Eusebius. Dru-

Notes and various readings for Psalm XXXVI. V. 1. "Others," of David. Thus one [manuscript]. Ibid. Aquila, do not contend, etc. We draw these readings of various interpreters from many manuscripts, from Eusebius, and likewise from Theodoret and Drusius. V. 2. Symmachus, that as it were green things. Thus the manuscripts and Drusius, in whom "that" is missing. V. 5. Aquila, and feeding [on] faithfulness. Eusebius and Drusius; but in the latter "and" is missing from both. V. 5. Aquila, be silent, etc. Drusius. V. 7. Aquila, be silent before the Lord, etc. Thus all, except one, who placed "and entreat him" from the version of Symmachus next to Aquila. But Eusebius reads, "and entreat him," according to Symmachus. Drusius, and entreat him. V. 12. The impious considers, etc. Thus one Colbert. V. 13. Symmachus, and the Lord will laugh him to scorn. Thus two Colbert manuscripts. Another, however, reads, and the Lord will mock him. V. 17. Symmachus, he supports, etc. Drusius. V. 18. Symmachus, the Lord foreknows that sinners will perish. Thus Eusebius and the manuscripts. Drusius, however, the Lord foreknows, etc. V. 20.

Notes and various readings for Psalm XXXVI

A reading, which begins with the conjunction *ka*. I would think that Aquila or Symmachus, or both, translated this here, and that the copyists transferred the word from the LXX into these interpreters. For Jerome, who follows either one or both, translates here *impii*, and thus they are accustomed to translate the Hebrew word *rasha*. Drusius.

Ibid. *etc.* Idem.

V. 22. S(ymmachus), *they who are blessed by him*. Idem.

V. 25. S(ymmachus), *and his way is made to prosper*. Idem. Corderius for *is well-pleasing* reads *is made to prosper*. But the former reading seems to be better, because it squares with the Hebrew word.

V. 25. S(ymmachus), *I was young*. So Eusebius.

Ibid. S(ymmachus), O', *and I have not seen* etc. Eusebius.

V. 26. 'A., *all the day* etc. Drusius.

V. 27. [Sigma], *and you will rest forever*. Eusebius.

V. 28. 'A(quila), *his pure ones*. One Coislin. Thus Aquila translates above on Psalm XL, 2. Drusius.

V. 32. *Another*, *he watches*. Drusius.

V. 33. 'A(quila) ..., *when he is judged*. Lections of Aquila and Symmachus from one Colbertine manuscript.

V. 35. Γ', *I saw an impious man* etc. Drusius.

V. 37. S(ymmachus), *keep simplicity* etc. So the manuscripts. Drusius brought forward a truncated version. Eusebius and two manuscripts have *for there is a remnant for a man of peace*. But two other manuscripts have *... to a man of peace*, but these seem to have been borrowed from the LXX version by a scribal error. Drusius.

V. 38. S(ymmachus), *but those who reject* etc. So Theodoret and two manuscripts. Drusius. 'A(quila), *and the end*.

THE HEBREW 8. For my loins are filled with ignominy. 9. I roared from the moaning of my heart. 12. My lovers and my friends stood over against my plague; and my kinsmen stood afar off. 13.

S(ymmachus), *gloomy* I walked. So Drusius. One Regius codex has [Greek text] by the first hand; but then it was corrected, [Greek text]. V. 8. The manuscripts and Drusius have the reading of Aquila thus: *for* the loins of me are filled with ignominy. One Regius codex, however, has *or ignominy*, which is like a gloss taken from the version of Aquila: for which reason we have expunged these words, *or ignominy*, from the place of Symmachus. [I roared. Thus sometimes the interpreters, for *I was filled*. DRACH.] V. 9. A(quila), *I roared* etc. So the mss. and Drusius. Two codices have *I roared*. V. 12. S(ymmachus), *my friends* etc. So Theodoret and [the manuscripts].

Notes and various readings on Psalm XXXVII. Two Royal [manuscripts] have, *stood against me in my plague*. Drusius has this, less correctly. Ibid. S., *and my nearest ones stood afar off*. One Royal [manuscript]. V. 13. Drusius has, A., *my evil*, [and] *my malice*, and he rightly suspects the first to be Aquila's, the second Symmachus'. See below, Psalm XXXIX, 15. V. 17. S., *they magnified themselves against me*. Thus the Colbertinus one, better than Drusius, *they are being magnified*. V. 18. S., *for halting*, etc. Drusius. V. 20. S., *the living are stronger*. Idem. V. 21. S., *they stood against me*. Idem. Ibid. The others, *goodness*. Thus one codex.

I was speechless in silence, I was silent from good things, and I was troubled. 4. My heart grew hot within me; in my musing, fire was kindled. 6. Lo, thou hast given my days as a span.

LXX Interpreters: 2. I said, I will keep my ways, that I may not sin by my tongue. I set a guard upon my mouth, while the sinner was standing against me. 3.

[Notes and various readings for Psalm XXXVIII.] We have extracted the readings of the titles from manuscripts. V. 2. Eusebius has the full reading of Symmachus in his *Commentary on the Psalms* as follows. V. 5. The Colbertine manuscript, which is corrupt, brings forward this reading of Aquila, thus: Symmachus, Eusebius. In the version of Aquila, *siopē*, the last letter C was E, and it belonged to the following word *esigēsa*. But the final letter A was omitted by an unskilled copyist, because of the repetition of the letter A in *ap' agathou*. V. 4. Thus the manuscripts give the reading of Symmachus. But two Colbertine manuscripts have *anapolan* instead of *anapolein*. V. 6. Symmachus, "Behold as a span," etc. Eusebius and Drusius. Ibid. Aq., "And the," etc. Eusebius, Theodoretus, two MSS., and Drusius have the readings of Aquila and Symmachus. Ibid. Sym., "For only," etc. Eusebius. Ibid. Quinta. See Psalm III.

PSALM XXXIX

[VERSIO HEBRAICI TEXT.] 2. Waiting I waited for the Lord, and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. Hieron., waiting I waited for the Lord, and he was inclined unto me, and heard my cry. 3. Out of the pit. Hieron., from the pit. 6. Many things hast thou done, O Lord my God, thy wondrous works, and thy thoughts towards us, that there is no comparison unto thee. Hieron., many things hast thou done, O Lord my God, thy wondrous works, and thy thoughts for us, I find no order before thee.

[VULGATA LATINA.] 2. Waiting I waited for the Lord, and he attended to me, and heard my prayers. 3. Of the pit. 6. Many things thou hast done, O Lord my God, thy wondrous works: and in thy thoughts there is none that is like unto thee.

Notes and various readings on Psalm XXXIX

The first exhibits one [reading] of both, then brings forward another reading of Symmachus. This prior reading, however, seems to have been introduced first by Didymus, and then by Theodoretus. Eusebius, however, ascribes to each, namely to Aquila and Symmachus, his own peculiar version, such as we have edited; whom some manuscripts follow, even of those that had brought forward the prior reading. I would believe that Didymus, and from Didymus Theodoretus, through a lapse of memory ascribed to Aquila and Symmachus that reading which belonged to Aquila alone. Corderius, who had brought forward in his notes the one reading of Aquila and Symmachus from Didymus, agrees with our opinion and distributes their own to each, as above. V. 9. One manuscript has the reading of Aquila;

V. 14. "Another," *Show favor*. Colbertinus is written stichometrically. Ibid. "A.," *to help*. Thus one codex. See Jerome to Sunias and Fretela, where he adduces the word *σπεῦσον* without the name of the interpreter. V. 15. *They shall be turned*, etc. Eusebius. But

PSALM XL

SYMMACHUS. 1. A triumphal song for David. 2. Upon the needy. In the day of affliction. 3. The Lord will preserve him and save him; He shall be blessed on the earth, and He will not deliver him into the souls of his enemies. 4. 5. As I said, Lord, have mercy upon me, heal my soul, even if I have sinned against Thee. 6. My enemies spoke evil of me, saying: When will he die, and his name perish? 7. And if he comes in to see me, his heart speaks vanity; he gathered iniquity to himself, and going forth outside, he spoke.

THE SEVENTY INTERPRETERS (LXX). 1. To the end, a psalm of David. 2. Blessed is he who understands concerning the needy and poor. In a day of evil. 3. The Lord will preserve him and keep him alive. He shall be blessed on the earth, and He will not deliver him into the hands of his enemy. 4. The Lord will help him. 5. I said, Lord, have mercy upon me, heal my soul, for I have sinned against Thee. 6. My enemies have spoken evil to me: When will he die, and his name perish? 7. And if he comes in to see me, his heart speaks vanity; he gathered iniquity to himself, he went out, and spoke in the same place. 5, 6, and if.

THEODOTION. 1. To the victor, a psalm of David. 2. Upon the needy. 3. The Lord will preserve him and vivify him. In soul. 4. The Lord will help him. 5. 6. 7. And if he came in to see, his heart spoke vanity; he gathered iniquity to himself, he went out, and spoke in the same place.

8. Against me they whispered, all who hate me, against me they thought evil for me. 9. A word of Belial was poured out upon him, and he who lay down will not rise again. 10. And even the man of my peace, in whom I trusted, eating my bread, has magnified his heel against me. 11. And you, Lord, have pity on me, and raise me up, and I will repay them. 12. By this I knew that you were pleased with me, because my enemy will not shout against me. 13. And I, in my integrity, you supported me, and set me up before you forever. 14. Amen and amen.

Notes and various readings on Psalm XL

V. 2. A., S., Th., “upon the poor man.” So manuscripts and Dasius. But Corderius brings forth the reading of Symmachus, “Blessed is he who understands the things which are fitting for the poor.” That is: Blessed is he who understands the things that are suitable regarding the poor. Perhaps in the above note, S. has crept into our A. Eusebius: “But the phrase ‘and the poor man’ does not appear in the Hebrew, nor among the other interpreters,” (from Theodoret) “nor in the Syrian.” That is: Moreover, “and the poor man” appears neither in the Hebrew, nor among the other interpreters, (from Theodoret) nor in the Syrian.

Ibid. S., “in the day of evil.” Thus one royal manuscript. [Furthermore, this version of Symmachus is found in the commentary of Eusebius on this passage, in Theodoret, and in the Catena of the Fathers.]

V. 5. A., Th., “The Lord will preserve him,” etc. These readings proceed from Euthymius, Eusebius, and Daniele Barbaro.

Notes and variant readings for Psalm XL

Ibid. Symmachus, “And he is blessed,” etc. So the manuscripts. Ibid. Symmachus, “And he will not deliver,” etc. Eusebius. Drusius, however, brings forward only this concerning Symmachus: “in the souls.” But better, if I am not mistaken, is Eusebius: “for the souls.” V. 4. Aquila, Theodotion, “The Lord will help.” So the manuscripts and Drusius. V. 5. Symmachus, “Of me speaking,” etc. Eusebius in the *Demonstratio Evangelica*. V. 6. Symmachus, “My enemies,” etc. From Eusebius’s *De Demonstratione Evangelica*. V. 7. Aquila, “And if he comes,” etc. Our Martianaeus. The passage of Symmachus is from the *Demonstratio Evangelica* as above. The reading of Symmachus is expressed otherwise in the Corderius catena with these words: “entering to observe, he spoke in vain.” V. 8. Symmachus, “With one mind,” etc. From the same. V. 9. Symmachus, “A lawless word,” etc. Eusebius *Demonstratio Evangelica*. V. 10. Aquila, “And indeed the man,” etc. The reading of Aquila is produced from Eusebius and from two manuscripts. Daniele Barbaro says it is of Theodotion. Theodoret attributes it to both.

^A The reading of Symmachus comes from the *Demonstratio Evangelica*. But the final words of Aquila and Theodotion are expressed thus; these words, "which he had exposed of trickery," seem to be a gloss in the Catena of Corderius.

And why do I go mourning in the affliction of the enemy? 3. Send forth thy light and thy truth; they have led me and brought me to thy holy mountain and to thy tabernacles. 4. And I will go in to the altar of God, to God who gladdens my youth; I will confess to thee on the harp, O God, my God. 5. Why art thou sad, O my soul, and why dost thou trouble me? Hope in God, because I will still confess to him; the salvation of my countenance, and my God.

PSALM XLIII

^B 1. O God, we have heard with our ears, our fathers have told us the work thou didst work in their days, in the days of old. 2. Thy hand destroyed the nations, and thou didst plant them; ^C thou didst afflict the peoples, and cast them out. 3. For not by their own sword did they possess the land, and their own arm did not save them; but thy right hand and thy arm and the light of thy countenance, because thou wert pleased with them. 4. Thou art he, my King and my God, who commandest the salvations of Jacob. 5. Through thee we will push down our enemies, and through thy name we will bring to nothing those who rise up against us. 6. For I will not trust in my bow, and my sword will not save me. 7. For thou hast saved us from those who afflict us, and hast put to shame those who hate us. 8. In God we will boast all the day long, and to thy name we will confess forever. 9. But now thou hast cast us off and shamed us, and thou wilt not go out with our hosts. 10. Thou hast turned us back before our enemies, and those who hate us plundered for themselves. 11. Thou hast given us like sheep for food, and among the nations thou hast scattered us. 12. Thou hast sold thy people without price, and there was no increase in their exchange. 13. Thou hast made us a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to those around us. 14. Thou hast made us a proverb among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples. 15. All day long my shame is before me, and the confusion of my face has covered me, 16. at the voice of the one reproaching and blaspheming, at the sight of the enemy and the avenger. 17. All this has come upon us, and we have not forgotten thee, and we have not dealt falsely in thy covenant. 18. Our heart has not turned back, and thou hast diverted our steps from thy path, ^D 19. because thou hast humbled us in a place of affliction, and the shadow of death has covered us. 20. If we have forgotten the name of our God, and if we have stretched out our hands to a strange god, 21. shall not God search this out? For he knows the secrets of the heart, because for thy sake we are killed all the day long, we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 22. Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? Arise, and do not cast us off forever. 23. Why turnest thou thy face away, and forgettest our poverty and our affliction? 24. For our soul is humbled to the dust, our belly has cleaved to the earth. 25. Arise, O Lord, help us, and redeem us for thy name's sake.

1. ^A, Σ., of the sons of Korah. Eusebius. We have deleted the remainder. [DRACH.]

V. 2. ^{B A}, as a channel, etc. Thus from the Roman edition Agellius and Drusius. Jerome follows Aquila according to his custom, and translates *aulon*, that is, a prepared garden plot. Ibid. [To [HEBREW], Montfaucon has assigned this version of Symmachus: *pros ton Theon poreias*, of a progression to God. And in the note below: Eusebius on the Psalms. But, says Schleusner, he has drawn upon it poorly. And in reality, if you read attentively the words of Eusebius himself, which it would be too long to transcribe here, you will see that they are an explanation by Eusebius of the text of the Septuagint, and not a version by Symmachus. For that reason we have deleted them.]

V. 5. ^C Septuagint, towards God, [towards God] the living God. Others, towards God, towards the Mighty the Living One. Modern copies of the Septuagint have, towards God, but as Agellius well annotates, the repetition of that "towards God," which exists in the Hebrew, seems to have been omitted by unskilled scribes as if it were useless. That "towards the Mighty One," however, which is found in some Septuagint Bibles, has been taken from the version of other interpreters.

Notes and various readings on Psalm XLII.

V. 1. Eusebius on the Psalms: "The psalm is without inscription among the Hebrews; wherefore it has no inscription among the other interpreters either; but also that it appears to be a part of the one before it is shown both from the similar expressions in both, and from the similar meaning"; wherefore neither does it have a title among the remaining interpreters. Indeed, it is shown that it appears to be a part of the preceding psalm, both by similar modes of speaking in both, and by the related sentiment.

Ibid. Symmachus, "Judge me." So Eusebius in the Psalms. The following word, "and contend," is held in the notes

PSALM XLII

^A SYMMACHUS. 1. Judge me, O God, and contend. 2. My salvation. Why do I walk about sad, while the enemy afflicts? 3. Send forth thy light and thy truth, which shall guide me and bring me to thy holy mountain and to thy tabernacles. 4. That I may come to the altar of God, to God the joy of my gladness, and I will confess to thee on the psaltery, O God, my God. 5. Why are you cast down, my soul, and why do you trouble me? Wait for God, for I will always confess to him, [the] salvation of my countenance, and my God.

THEODOTION. 1. From an unjust and deceitful man. 2. My strength. Why do I go about sad while my enemy afflicts? 3. Thy truth; these have guided me and brought me to thy holy mountain, and to thy tabernacles.

I will confess to thee on the harp, O God, my God. 5. Why are you sad, my soul, and why do you trouble me? Hope in God, because I will confess to him, [the] salvation of my countenance, my God.

LXX INTERPRETERS. 1. Send forth thy light and thy truth, which shall guide me and bring me to thy holy mountain and to thy tabernacles.

^B Notes and various readings on Psalm XLII. Regarding the preceding, verse 10. The Roman edition and Drusius. Agellius reads *hyperkineson*, but less correctly, if I am not mistaken. Ibid. A., "From an unjust man," etc. Drusius. V. 2. S., "My salvation." Another, "My strength." Coislin. Ibid. S., "Why sad," etc. Eusebius, as in the psalm preceding, verse 10. V. 3. A., S., Th., V., "Send forth thy light," etc. Thus one of the Colbertine manuscripts, which commemorates only the first three interpreters. Theodoret, however, says, "The rest." Agellius finally attributes this version also to the Fifth edition.

V. 4. Σ., *ἵνα ἔλθω πρὸς* etc. Thus one Royal manuscript, which translates: *that I may come*. Drusius, however, has *ἵνατι*. The Colbertine manuscript is written *στιχηρῶς* [in verses], and Daniel Barbarus has *ἐλθών*, less correctly, and he omits the *σοι* [to thee] further down.

Notes and variant readings to Psalm XLIV. V. 1. The readings of the title are supplied by Eusebius, mss., Drusius, and Jerome in his Epistle to Principia; so that those things which are missing in some may be supplied from others. However, Jerome's words are not to be omitted. "In the Hebrew," he says, "it is written: LAMANASSE AL SOSANNIM LABNE CORE MESCHIL SIR IDIDOTH," which we translate into Latin: "To the Victor for the lilies of the sons of Core, a song of instruction of the most beloved." Symmachus, according to his custom, more clearly translated it as "a triumph for the flowers." Therefore SOSANNIM is translated either as "those who are to be changed" or as "lilies" and "flowers." MESCHIL also sounds like "instruction" and "most learned." SIR, "a song": IDIDIA is an ancient name of Solomon, who in another sense is called the peaceful.

Notes and various readings on Psalm XLIV

... the righteous requirements. Ibid. S., my tongue is a reed, etc. Chrysostom brings forward Hebrew readings described in Greek letters. V. 2. S., was moved, etc. Thus Eusebius, mss., and Drusius. Ibid. S., I will declare my poems. Thus Agellius, who ascribes this version to Symmachus alone. Eusebius edited the readings of Aquila and Symmachus thus, Ibid. A., my tongue is a reed, etc. Eusebius brings forward these readings of Aquila and Symmachus. But Chrysostom reads according to Symmachus: "as a scribe." V. 5. A., by beauty, etc. Eusebius and Drusius have the readings of Aquila and Symmachus; one Colbertine manuscript has that of the Fifth Edition. But Eusebius, concerning this passage...

has as follows: "Since the Hebrew text and the other interpreters, having outlined the sense above, made the exposition from another beginning, we naturally have also placed 'more beautiful in beauty than the sons of men' from another beginning." That is to say, because the Hebrew reading and the remaining interpreters, having marked off the previous sentence, used a different principle in their exposition, we consistently considered that expression, "more beautiful in form than the sons of men," as beginning from elsewhere. Then Eusebius brings forward the readings of Aquila and Symmachus in the order we have set forth. In the Corderius catena for Aquila, it is read: "beauty of adornment." Ibid., "Another, grace is poured out," etc., Drusius. Ibid., "Another, upon this," Drusius. V. 4, "Another, [shall] live," etc., Drusius. Ibid., "Another, your praise," etc. So the manuscripts. The final reading, "your glory and your beauty," is in the Coislinian parchment manuscript. V. 5, "Another, press forward," Drusius. Ibid., "A., and it shall enlighten you," etc., Chrysostom. Drusius brings forward these readings of Aquila and Symmachus without the names of the interpreters. V. 6, "A., S., according to [our] hearts," etc., the same. It is noted thus also in the Coislinian codex. V. 7, "A., your throne," etc. So Eusebius and the manuscripts. See Jerome to Principia. The manuscripts and Drusius present the version of Symmachus; our Martianaeus presents that of Theodotion. Ibid., "A., scepter," etc., Drusius. V. 8, "A., you have loved," etc. We borrow the readings of Aquila and Symmachus partly from Eusebius on the Psalms, partly from the manuscripts. The Hebrew words written in Greek are from Chrysostom; the scholion, however, is from the manuscripts.

V. 9. "Another, for the garment," etc. Drusius. Ibid. "A., [Aquila] and three manuscripts correctly." Drusius, however, "A., S. [Symmachus], from ivory palaces." Theodoret, "A., S., from ivory palaces." Both are wrong. I suspect that in Theodoret, the name Aquila was prefixed to this latter interpretation by the copyists. Ibid. "Another, whence they gladdened thee." Drusius. V. 10. "S., in that it was made to stand fast," etc. The same without the interpreter's name. Ibid. "A., and with gold of Ophir," etc. Thus our Martianaeus. Regarding Aquila, Agellius reads "being brought, adorned," which is not extant in the Hebrew. Ibid.

[Theodotion], and worship thou him." S., "and worship him." Thus Theodoret. Colbertinus and Daniel Barbarus have "A., Th., he worshipped him." Drusius, S., "and worship thou him." But Colbertinus exhibits "worship." We think Theodoret's reading is better. Ibid. "A., E' [Quinta], Th. - S., he will bring gifts." Th., "they will honor." V. 14. "Another, through," etc. Drusius.

Notes and various readings on Psalm XLV. v. 1. Thus one Colbertine manuscript presents the title according to Aquila and Symmachus. Chrysostom has "Another: upon youth, a song." Jerome concurs with this, who translates, "for youth." v. 2. "Another: in tribulation." Chrysostom, Drusius have it; the others, "was found being found." There, however, the readings of two are indicated, of which one had "was found"; but the other, which is brought forward by Chrysostom without the name of the interpreter, [was found]. v. 5. Drusius thus has the readings of Aquila and the Quinta edition. V. 4. Thus Eusebius and two manuscripts which, in place of *endoxasmῷ*, all have *paradoxasmῷ*. Drusius, *endoxasmῷ*. Aquila and the reading of the rest Drusius brings forward. Regarding Symmachus, I would prefer *endoxasmῷ*, who in the following psalm interprets the word *higgayôn* from the same root. But he expresses the word by *paradoxasmῷ* (cf. Isai. IX, 6). Ibid. "The Hebrew," see above, Psalm III. V. 5. Eusebius and two Colbertine manuscripts exhibit this version, which they attribute to Aquila and Symmachus. The Colbertine writes it stichometrically.

Also found in Theodotion, just as in Drusius, who has these only in Latin thus: The divisions of the river gladden the city of God. The Hebrew reading is taken from Chrysostom. Ibid.

Notes and various readings on Psalm XLVII. V. 1. The title from certain mss. That however, "on the second of the sabbath," is an addition, and is not contained in the Hebrew, as are many other things in the titles of the Psalms according to the LXX Interpreters. "Vehemently." Eusebius in the Psalms. V. 3. Aq., "with fair growth," etc. Drusius. In the Septuagint, Eusebius reads thus, so that the sense of this verse according to him is: "Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, in his holy mountain, well-rooted, with the jubilation of the whole earth, the mountains of Sion, the sides of the north, the city of the great king." Ibidem. The Hebrew reading, "Ap Sion," etc., is brought forward by Chrysostom. "Another," "mount Sion," etc. Coislin. parchment. It seems to be Aquila: for he follows the letter immediately. V. 4. Aq., "unto a high tower," Drusius. Symmachus’s interpretation, with his name prefixed, is brought forward by Eusebius, and one Regius codex likewise; but Drusius attributes it to the Quinta edition. He presents that which is of the Quinta edition as if by an uncertain interpreter. We follow Eusebius without hesitation, whose reading is confirmed also by another codex. Aquila and Symmachus translate the word םגשמ as "fortification." V. 5. Sym., "For behold," etc. Thus Eusebius. V. 6, 7. Aq., Drusius. In the same place, Eusebius brings forward the full reading of Symmachus in the Psalms. V. 8. Aq., "with a burning wind," etc. Eusebius.

Notes and various readings to Psalm XLVII. V. 10. Symmachus' reading is brought forward by one very ancient Coislin manuscript. Chrysostom gives the Hebrew word. Drusius, etc., but the aforementioned Coislin manuscript declares it to be the interpretation of Symmachus. Ibid. These translators, together with others joined in one series, are placed in the Colbertine manuscript and the Coislinian. Others, however, say, but among those translators also the LXX are mentioned, because they had it so in the Hexapla. The other reading existed in other exemplars, and is today in the Roman edition. V. 11. Thus one Coislin manuscript. (*) Regarding the word of this verse, the oldest [manuscript]: Aquila is accustomed to translate the word by "the end." V. 12. Σ., θ., "is gladdened" etc. Drusius.

They shall subject them. And their strength shall the underworld cause to grow old, far from their honorable habitation. 18-20. Nor shall his glory follow descending with him. But his soul, while he lives, he shall bless, saying within himself: They will praise you if you do well for yourself; you shall come even to the generations of your fathers. Not seeing.

14. This is the way of their stumbling block for them, and after these things with their mouth they shall bless. Al., they shall wish. 15. As sheep in the underworld they have been placed; death shall pasture them. And they shall have dominion over them. And their help shall grow old in the underworld from their glory. 18-20.

Sym., "this is this way." One Regius. V. 15. Sym., "as beasts of burden," etc. Eusebius, Theodoret, and mss. But Theodoret, the LXX. Ibid. A., "as sheep," etc. Ibid. A., "one shall overcome," etc. The readings of Aquila and Symmachus from Eusebius on the Psalms. I suspect that "one" was moved into [the text] in place of "or," or "at least." Ibid. A., "the character," etc. These fuller versions of Aquila and Symmachus are adduced by Eusebius, who reads "strength" for Symmachus, as do three mss. Drusius, however, [reads] "might." V. 18-20. These readings of Symmachus and Aquila are circulated by two Regii, of whom one has "he shall praise you," etc., at Symmachus, and thus also Theodoret. Ibid. "Another, even to the end." One Coislin. Ibid. Drusius has these readings. Daniel Barbarus, however, presents the reading of Symmachus thus: "He shall enter even unto the generations of his fathers: they shall die, not seeing light."

(*) The former of these readings is poorly placed here by Montfaucon, for it manifestly pertains to the preceding clause of the same 12th verse, that is to say, to the word: "Within them their house is for eternity." DRACH. (**) That this word "one" is spurious, and moved into the text of Eusebius by some accident, is evident from the Greek Catena of the Fathers, where it is read: that is to say, or according to Aquila, "they shall overcome." DRACH.

Notes and various readings for Psalm L. V. 1. A., Σ., θ., Z'., Bathsheba. Drusius has *Bnθσαβέ*. But this is without doubt an error of the scribes, who took the *€* for *θ* because of the similarity of those letters when they were written in that round uncial script. This style of writing was in use not only in Origen's time, but for three or four centuries afterwards. V. 3. A., "give to me" etc. Drusius. V. 5. Σ., "continually." So the mss. V. 6.

9. I will hasten for a place of escape for me from the wind stirred up by a whirlwind. [alt-version omitted] 9. I shall hasten to be saved from the spirit of the tempest and the whirlwind. 10-12. Swallow up, O Lord, divide their tongue, for I have seen rapine and strife in the city. Day and night they have surrounded it upon its walls; and iniquity and labor are in the midst of it. 10-12. Overthrow, O Lord, and divide their languages, for I have seen iniquity and contradiction in the city. Day and night they go around the walls; wickedness and grief are in the midst of it. There are ambushes in its inner parts, and harm and fraudulence do not depart from its streets. 10-12. Debt and fraudulence. 13-15. For no enemy has affected me with reproaches, and I would bear it; nor has he who hates me magnified himself over me, and I would hide myself from him. But you are a man according to my own comparison, my teacher and my acquaintance, who together used to have a sweet secret, and in the house of God we walked in the sound of a crowd. 13-15. For if my enemy had cursed me, I would surely have borne it; and if he who hated me had spoken great things against me, I would perhaps have hidden myself from him. But you are a man of one mind, my guide and my acquaintance, who together with me used to take pleasant food; we walked in the house of God with consent. 13-15. We who together used to share a sweet secret. 16. Let death come upon them. 16. Let death come upon them. 16. Let death come upon them. For evil things are in their habitation. For iniquities are in their dwelling. For malice is in their assembly.

9. Suddenly I would have made my escape from the wind that raises the storm.

10-12. Make them to be submerged, O Master, and make their tongue to be discordant; for I have seen violence, iniquity, and injustice in the city. Day and night it encompasses its walls, sorrow and misery are within it, injuries are within it, and damage and attack inseparable from its streets.

13-15. For it was not an enemy that reproached me, that I might have borne it, neither did he who hates me magnify himself against me, that I might hide myself from him. But you, O man of like character to me, my acquaintance and my friend, with whom we shared sweet conversation; we lived and ate together in the house of God.

16. Let death come suddenly upon them. For wickedness is in their company.

LXX INTERPRETERS.

9. I was waiting for him who saves me from faint-heartedness and the tempest.

10-12. Submerge, O Lord, and divide their tongues, for I have seen iniquity and contradiction in the city. Day and night iniquity shall encompass it upon its walls, and labor [is] in the midst of it, and injustice. And usury and guile did not fail from its streets. Another [reading]: labor and guile.

13-15. For if an enemy had reproached me, I would have endured it; and if he who hates me had spoken great things against me, I would have hidden myself from him. But you, O man of like soul, my leader and my acquaintance, who together with me made food sweet, we walked in the house of God in harmony.

Notes and various readings on Psalm LIV

V. 1. We borrow the readings of the titles from the manuscripts and from Eusebius. V. 3, 4. AQUILA, "...my meditation," etc. Theodoret, one codex, and Drusius. ANOTHER, "in my concern." One Coislin. Ibid. SYMMACHUS, "I was brought down," etc. So Theodoret, Drusius, and one Regius—which last has "from trouble" (ἀπὸ ἐνοχλήσεως) instead of "from anguish" (ἀπὸ θλίψεως). Ibid. SYMMACHUS, "that they have inscribed," etc. So Eusebius. Others, perhaps better, with Theodoret, "they cast away" (ἐπέρριψαν), which interpretation approaches more closely to the sense of the Hebrew verb. Ibid. AQUILA, "unprofitable" (ἀνωφελές), from Theodoret. We have often seen Aquila translate the word 7 this way. V. 5. AQUILA, "the heart," etc. Eusebius presents these interpretations of Aquila and Symmachus in the Psalms. V. 6. AQUILA, "a flitting." SYMMACHUS, "shuddering." Eusebius. (*) V. 7 and 8. SYMMACHUS, "and I said," etc. The same.

(*) Better, St. Athanasius in the *Catena Patrum Graecorum*, "according to Aquila, *deinosis*." That is, or according to Aquila, *tremor*. DRACH.

V. 9. AQUILA, SYMMACHUS, "I would hasten," etc. So one Regius most excellently. Theodoret attributes this interpretation also to Symmachus, to whom, however, it cannot entirely apply, as is argued from the series. In this, however, Symmachus agrees with others, that he translated את מש as "from a spirit" (ἀπὸ πνεύματος); but in the rest he agrees with them only in sense, while he translates from the same Regius, "I made haste" (ἐποίησα ἄν), etc., and so Jerome is to be understood, where he says in his Epistle to Sunnia and Fretela: "But it should be known that for *olygopsychia* (faintheartedness), Aquila and Symmachus, and Theodotion, and the Fifth Edition, have interpreted it as *apo pneumatos*, that is, 'from a spirit'; and in the Hebrew it is written, MERUA: and the whole sense among them is read thus: 'I will hasten that I may be saved from a spirit of tempest and whirlwind.'" V. 10-12. SYMMACHUS, "to be plunged," etc. From Eusebius. One Colbertine manuscript has "to be drowned" (καταποντισθῆναι), mistakenly; the other, written in stichic form, has "to be swallowed up" (καταποθῆναι), which reading...

THE HEBREW 6. All day long they grieved my words, all their thoughts were against me for evil. 7. 8. They shall dwell, they shall hide themselves, they themselves shall watch my footsteps, as they waited for my soul. Because of iniquity, escape for them; in anger, bring down the peoples, O God. 9. 10. Thou hast counted my wanderings; put my tear into thy bottle; are they not in thy book? Then my enemies shall turn back in the day when I call; this I know, that God is for me. 11. 12. In God I will praise a word, in the Lord I will praise a word. In God have I trusted; I will not fear what man can do to me. 13. Upon me, O God, are thy vows; I will render thanks unto thee. 14. To walk before God in the light of the living.

HEBREW VERSION 6. All the day they grieved my words, all their thoughts against me were for evil. Jerome: All the day they afflicted me with their words: against me were all their thoughts for evil. 7, 8. They shall dwell, they shall hide themselves; they themselves shall watch my footsteps, as they awaited my soul; because of iniquity there is escape for them: in anger, O God, cause the peoples to descend. Jerome: They shall be gathered together in secret, they shall watch my plants (heels): awaiting my soul. Because there is no salvation in them: in fury God shall put down the peoples. 9, 10. Thou hast numbered my motion: put my tear in thy bottle. Is it not in thy book? Then my enemies shall be turned back in the day I shall call. This I know, because God is for me. Jerome: Thou hast numbered my secrets, put my tear in thy sight: but not in thy narration. Then my enemies shall be turned back: in whatsoever day I shall call upon thee. This I know, because thou art my God. 11, 12. In God I will praise a matter: in the Lord I will praise the business. In God I have trusted, I will not fear what man may do to me.

Jerome: That I may walk before God in the light of the living.

LATIN VULGATE 6. All the day they grieved my words, all their thoughts were against me for evil. 7, 8. They shall dwell and hide themselves: they shall watch my heel. As they have waited for my soul, for nothing shalt thou save them: in thy anger thou shalt break the peoples in pieces, O God. 9, 10. I have declared my life to thee; thou hast set my tears in thy sight, as also in thy promise: then my enemies shall be turned back. In what day soever I shall call upon thee, behold I know that thou art my God. 11, 12. In God I will praise the word, in the Lord I will praise his speech: in God I have hoped, I will not fear what man can do to me. 13. In me, O God, are vows to thee, which I will render, praises to thee. 14. That I may please before God in the light of the living.

7, 8. LXX INTERPRETERS: They shall dwell and hide themselves; they shall observe my heel, just as I have endured in my soul. For nothing wilt Thou save them; in anger Thou shalt bring down the peoples, O God. 5, that they may not be saved.

7, 8. THEODOTION: In anger Thou shalt cast down the peoples.

9, 10. LXX INTERPRETERS: My life I declared to Thee; Thou didst set my tears before Thee, as also in Thy promise. My enemies shall turn back in the day that I call upon Thee. Behold, I have known that Thou art my God. 5, then they shall turn back.

Notes and various readings for Psalm LV. V. 1. Eusebius provides various readings for the title of this Psalm. The LXX have issued an interpretation so different from the others that it is necessary they read something else. V. 3. ^A *they who afflict me*, etc. Thus Eusebius and one Colbertine codex. Ibid. ^B *A*., Drusius thus has the reading of Aquila and Symmachus. V. 4. ^C *A*., *of days of fear*, etc. Two manuscripts have this together with Drusius, of which one is a Royal codex, the other Colbertine. ^D Here, however, the latter has with Symmachus, *in you I trust*. V. 5. ^A *A*., *in God*, etc. Eusebius and one Royal codex provide the readings of Aquila, Symmachus, and the Quinta. V. 6. ^B *S*., *throughout all the day*, etc. Thus Eusebius and one Colbertine codex, which has as follows: *so throughout all the day*, etc. V. 7, 8. ^C Eusebius and two Royal codices have the full reading of Symmachus, of which one is as follows: *they were set*. Aquila also provides a mutilated reading.

PSALM LVI

HEBREW VERSION: 1. Michtam. Hieron., *humble and simple*. 2. Until the destruction passes by. Hieron., *until the snares pass by*. 5. In the midst of lions I sleep: *teeth*. Hieron., *in the midst of fierce lions I slept*. Spear. Hieron., *spears*. 7. Pit. Hieron., *id*. 8. My heart is prepared, O God, my heart is prepared. Hieron., *id*.

VULGATE LATIN: 1. Upon the inscription of the title. 2. Until iniquity pass by. 5. In the midst of the lion's young I slept. Arma [Arms]. 7. A pit. 8. My heart is prepared, O God, my heart is prepared.

AQUILA: 1. Of the humble, the perfect. 2. Until the snares pass by. 5. In the midst of fierce lions I will sleep. Spear. 7. 8.

Notes and various readings for Psalm LVI. V. 1. Eusebius in his *Commentary on the Psalms* produces the readings of Aquila and Symmachus for the title thus. Modern Hebraizers express the word *michtam* with Latin letters as an unknown word. Aquila and Symmachus and Jerome read the word as if composed of *ten* (tenuis, humble) and *tam* (perfect, or blameless), or they thought them to be two distinct words. V. 2. ^D *A*., *until*, etc. Eusebius and Theodoret provide the versions of Aquila and Symmachus. V. 5. ^A *A*., *in the midst*, etc. We follow Eusebius, who has more complete readings than Drusius, who reads as follows: Sym., as also Theodoret. A., ... *with lions*, others, *with beasts*. Th., ... *devouring*. But one Colbertine codex expresses the reading of Symmachus thus: *I slept in the midst of lions being bold*. The Symmachian version: *In the midst of lions being bold*.

PSALM LVII

HEBREW VERSION: 3. Thou shalt weigh out. Hieron., *ye shall add*. 4. Speaking falsehood. Hieron., *id*. 5, 6. As of the deaf asp that will stop her ear. Which does not hear. Hieron., *id*.

VULGATE LATIN: 3. They shall sing. 4. They have spoken false things. 5, 6. As the deaf asp that stoppeth her ears : which will not hear.

AQUILA: 3. You shall weigh out. 4. 5, 6. Of those charming to charm a charm, skillfully taught.

PSALM LVII. Notes and various readings for Psalm LV.

Eusebius, and also the one Coislinian: Theodotion of Martianus. But Jerome, in his Epistle to Sunnia and Fretela, refers to another reading of Symmachus, namely *kataseisai*. See it there. The aforementioned Coislinian manuscript has in the text, for *sōseis autous* [you will save them], *sōseis autous* [you will save them - wait, sic]. But in the margin, "However, that *ōseis autous* [you will push them], is entirely corrupt, for *sōseis* [you will save]." ^B V. 9, 10. "And within me," etc. Thus Eusebius has the full reading, as does one Royal [manuscript]. But Drusius refers to a deficient one. Theodoretus, "and within me they have been numbered to you." Aq., Theod., Sym., "then they shall return." V. 11 and 12. Aquila and Symmachus offer readings; Eusebius, and one Royal [manuscript]. V. 13. Sym., "I accept," etc. Idem. V. 14. Sym., "as the walking," etc. Eusebius. Another, "I will be pleased." The Colbertinian is written in verse.

PSALM LVI.

SYMMACHUS. 1. Of the humble and blameless. 2. Until the detractor passes by. 5. In the midst of lions I slept. Spear. 7. 8. Firm is my heart, O God, firm is my heart.

LXX INTERPRETES. 1. For the inscription of the title. 2. Until iniquity passes by. 5. From the midst of lion's whelps: I slept. Dart. 7. Pit. Another, a ditch. 8. Prepared is my heart, O God, prepared is my heart.

THEODOTIO. 1. 2. 5...I slept with those who consume. Dart. 7. 8.

Notes and various readings for Psalm LVI.

That truly is without doubt a slip of the copyist for *labrōn* instead of *laurōn*. But concerning the version of Symmachus, the reading of Drusius seems placed out of order, and we think the word *eutharsōn* was taken either from another version, or from another edition of Symmachus: also in the Drusian reading the word "lions" is not expressed. Otherwise, if we restore the reading of Drusius thus, Symmachus, "among lions I slept, burning," will square better with the Hebrew than the reading of Eusebius, which is perhaps from another interpreter, or taken from another edition of Symmachus. Certainly Symmachus in Ps. [LV]I, 4, translates "flame." Ibid. "Aq., of a spear." Thus Agellius. V. 7. "Another, a ditch." Thus one codex. V. 8. "Sym., firm," etc. Thus three manuscripts from Theodoretus, and Drusius.

PSALM LVII.

SYMMACHUS. 3. 4. [Those] speaking false things. 5, 6. As a deaf asp, stopping its ear, so that it may not hear the voice of [those] ... ^C

8. They shall be turned into nothing like running water. ^A

9. Like wax which melts, it is taken away; fire has fallen upon them, and they have not seen the sun.

10. Before your thorns perceive the rhamnus, even as living, so in anger he shall swallow them up. ^B

11. The just man shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance: he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.

Notes and various readings on Psalm LVII

V. 3. A., *diastath-*. Thus one Regius manuscript from Origen.

V. 4. S., *hoi lalountes*, etc. Drusius.

V. 5, 6. S., *hos aspis*, etc. Thus Eusebius, in whom it is read incorrectly, if I am not mistaken, *ekastou* instead of *epastou*, as two Colbertini manuscripts, Theodoret, and Drusius have it. *Epastoi*, incantators, this word is found in Justin in his *Apology to Antoninus*. Two Colbertini manuscripts have *epastou te*. In others it is wanting. Ibid., *epoidais*, thus two Colbertini manuscripts; others, however, *pharmakon*. The readings of Aquila and Theodotion are presented by Drusius. Another [version], *epaoidon*. Another, *pharmakon*. One Coislin manuscript. ^C

V. 8. S., *dialythetosan*, etc. Eusebius. One Royal manuscript has *dialythesontai*. Ibid. S., *ho teinon*, etc. Eusebius on the Psalms. [...] as those things which are crushed; as those things which are broken small, Prov. VI, 3, Symmachus translates *prostribon*, rubbing against.

V. 9. A., *homoios ges enterō*, etc. Drusius, who interprets it thus: similarly to the intestine of the earth; but incorrectly, if I am not mistaken. The sense, indeed, is "worm of the earth": for in this usage *enteron tēs gēs* is found, and thus Jerome translates it. The sense of Aquila here therefore appears to be: As the worm of the earth which, having been liquefied, departs, and ^D

SYMMACHUS: ...of those whispering, and of one instructed in the incantations of a sorcerer.

9. ...dissonant, or like the abortive birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.

LXX INTERPRETERS: ...will hear the voice of those charming, and of the sorcerer charming from the wise. ^B *Otherwise*: of charmers. *Otherwise*: of sorcerers. *V*: charming sorcerers.

8. ...as water flowing away. He shall stretch his bow until they are weakened.

9. ...as wax that has melted, fire has fallen, and they have not seen the sun.

10. Before your thorns perceive the rhamnus, as if living, so in anger he shall swallow you up.

11. The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance of the ungodly; he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner. The rest: and his feet.

10. ...absorb.

11. ...shall see the vengeance of the ungodly: he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner. The rest: and his feet.

Notes and various readings to Psalm LVII

*As the abortive birth of a woman, so they shall not see the sun.* The version of Symmachus is read in various ways. Eusebius has it thus, etc. But Drusius reads it thus, etc., which reading we follow, and we think it must be read thus in Eusebius. ^D *Chorion* is the afterbirth, or the placenta of a woman giving birth; it is also written *chorion*. Drusius interprets it *exanimatur* [is lifeless]: which version, it seems, Eusebius follows in the exposition of this passage of Symmachus, which runs thus: "Just as the afterbirth coming forth from a woman, does not at all share in life, but being dissolved, it is discordant; or like the abortive birth lying dead in the membrane, when it comes forth from the pregnant woman, it is endowed with no sense to enjoy the light and sun; so shall the sinners be, indicated by the aforementioned words, etc."

V. 10. *Before your thorns*, etc. Thus Eusebius and Drusius, who read *as if living*. One Kingly manuscript has *as if living*, which he himself has above. Another Kingly manuscript, for *rather*, has *all*. Drusius. Theodotion, *swallow up*. The same.

V. 11. *The righteous shall rejoice*, etc. From Eusebius.

^B Notes and various readings for Psalm LVIII.

V. 5. σ., μὴ οὔσης etc. (Lest there be, etc.) So Eusebius. However, one codex, the Regius, has it thus from Theodorus: "lest there be sin," and Drusius likewise reads: "they run that they may strike me," and so Theodoretus. If Symmachus thus translated, he doubtless read: תִּלְעַג. Ibid. Σ., ἐξ ἐναντ- (from against). One Regius [codex] from Theodorus. V. 7. ^C These all are readings exhibited by Eusebius in the *Psalms*. V. 8. Σ., αὐτοὶ μὲν etc. (They indeed, etc.). From two MSS., Agellius, Drusius, and Eusebius. One codex, however, the Regius, notes from Theodorus regarding the translation of the LXX, here it is inserted from the Hebrew idiom. It is an addition. The Hebrew voice is that which the LXX translate as *idou* (behold). But Symmachus, thinking it to be a pronoun, translated it *autoi* (they). V. 9. Σ., οὐ δὲ etc. (But not, etc.). These readings are held partly by the Regius from Theodorus, partly by Eusebius. But in the word ^D I suspect a corruption; for it does not seem to appropriately express the Hebrew

לַעַג

(*) By no means can *ἐπιφάξεις* be reconciled with this Hebrew word. But the true reading seems to be exhibited by Eusebius, who in the *Catena Patrum Graecorum* testifies that Symmachus translated it *ἐπιφθέγξῃ*, "you shall exclaim," that is, in a contumelious and mocking way, according to the genuine sense of the word

Hieron., Give us help from tribulation: for vain is the salvation from man.

Notes and various readings on Psalm LIX. V. 1. Readings of the title are borrowed from Eusebius, and from one Royal codex. Drusius brought forth a reading of Symmachus mutilated in its greatest part. Hilary records these things from the version of Aquila on page 135, when he smote the valleys, where he seems to have looked more to the sense than to the words. [Montfaucon had also brought together mutilated passages of Aquila and Symmachus, to which we ought to have added from Eusebius, whom he had read too cursorily, the corrections. The Hebrew text furthermore demands one or the other addition. DRACH.] V. 5. S., O God, thou hast cast us off, and broken us. Thus one Colbert codex; but another Colbert codex: thou hast wounded us. Ibid. A., being wroth etc. Eusebius and two Royal codices. V. 5. A., thou hast watered etc. One Royal codex and Corderius. V. 6. A., thou hast given etc. Eusebius. S., of shooting, for arrow. Here is read שׁוֹא (shav) with שׁ (sin); but it signifies truth and firmness. The LXX however and Jerome held it to be for a bow, just as Symmachus. And it seems the series demands it thus. V. 8. A., God has spoken etc. Eusebius. Ibid. A., I shall exult etc. Eusebius. Into this place, however, one Royal codex brings these things from Theodore. That is, the word, I shall exult, he does not say as if concerning himself; but as if he said,

Notes and various readings on Psalm LXI

V. 1. A title according to Aquila is possessed by two manuscripts and Eusebius; according to Symmachus, however, the same [is shared] by Drusius. V. 3. A., οὐ σφαλ-. Thus Eusebius in the Psalms: in whose edition the particle οὐ has fallen out. V. 4. A., ἕως τίνος etc. The same Eusebius displays the versions of Aquila and Symmachus. V. 5. Another, ὅμως. Coislin 1. ^A Ibid. The same Eusebius reports all these readings, who rightly notes that the LXX originally had ἐν ψεύδει, in a lie, from which ^B has erroneously been made ἐν δίψει, in thirst: for this latter reading has no affinity with the Hebrew word ציה. Another edition has ἐν δόλῳ, in deceit. V. 7. A., Σ., οὐ σφαλήσομαι. Eusebius. ^C V. 8. A., ἐπὶ θεῷ etc. Eusebius.

But Agellius says Symmachus read ἱμείρεται. Jerome however says that all agree on the word sol, tibi (to you). Agellius seems to have taken the word ἱμείρεται from the following reading. Ibid.

We attribute this interpretation to Symmachus not without some hesitation: for Theodoret and three manuscripts ascribe it to Theodotion, and Eusebius cites a single word from Symmachus.

Notes and various readings on Psalm LXIII

...as if concerning things past, but as concerning things about to happen are all things said; and likewise according to the remaining interpreters. To this verse Drusius notes this one thing... Here, indeed, the version of Symmachus...

cannot look upon it, when he says, *hoi loipoi*, the others: for Symmachus has, "of my voice" • the LXX indeed, "of my prayer," though some copies have, "of my voice." Perhaps both Drusius and the Roman editors err when they say the other editions have, "of my prayer," since Symmachus, as we have seen, has, "of my voice." But who would believe that Aquila translated [it as] "of my prayer"?

(*) Schleusner cites here a passage from the works of Origen, which was unknown to Montfaucon: For *sustrophes* (LXX interpreters), Aquila said *aporrhetou*, "secret," and Symmachus, *skepseos*, "counsel." — DRACH.

ANNOTATIONS ON PSALM LXIV

^A... and etc. Eusebius and one Coislinianus [codex]. But another codex has [readings] according to Symmachus, but that seems to be taken from Theodotion. V. 5. σ., secretly, etc. One codex and Drusius. Ibid. 'Λ., simple, etc. Eusebius. V. 6. Σ., they strengthened, etc. Thus the manuscripts and Theodoret. V. 7. Σ., they searched out, etc. Eusebius. Ibid. Drusius exhibits the readings of Aquila and Symmachus. ^BIbid. [...] etc. Drusius. But one Colbertinus codex brings forth the full reading of Theodotion, which calls [it] Theodotion twice. Theodotion joined the following [parts] of the clause to these, so that they might make one sense. V. 8. [...] etc. Drusius brings forth all these readings. V. 9. [...] etc. Drusius. ^DV. 11. 'Α., the hair of a man etc. Theodotion. V., and shall roar etc. 'Α., and they stumbled etc. [alt-version omitted]

[Regarding the Psalm LXIV:] In the title of the LXX, three manuscripts have this note: "In some copies it is prefixed: A canticle of Jeremiah and Ezekiel and of the people of the captivity, when they were about to depart." This does not appear in the Hebrew, nor in the other interpreters, nor in the LXX in the Hexapla.

V. 4. Aquila, "words of iniquities" etc. The manuscripts have the reading of Aquila, as do Drusius, Eusebius, Theodoret, and Drusius for Symmachus; but they themselves read "of iniquities" (ἀνόμων). However, one Coislin manuscript reads "of lawless deeds" (ἀνομιῶν), correctly, as the voice and Jerome — who translates: "of iniquities" — suggest.

V. 7. Symmachus, "who establishes" etc. So one Royal manuscript from Didymus, Agellius, and Drusius. Theodoret, however, has "firming" (ἑδράζων). His reading seems to be confirmed by Euthymius, who translates thus: "But as to what he says, 'preparing,' Symmachus said, 'establishing.' But the substantive verb 'is' is understood. God, says he, is He who renders the mountains stable, so that they cannot be moved by any winds, however powerful."

V. 8. Eusebius provides the full reading of Aquila, as do Theodotion and the Quinta.

Notes and various readings on Psalm LXVII.

V. 3. The rest, the Hebrew and the Syrian, [have] "the ungodly." Theodoret. V. 5. Aquila, "Stake them down." Thus from the manuscripts, Theodoret, Eusebius, and Drusius, the last of whom omits "road" in the version of Symmachus. Ibid. Symmachus, "By the..." etc. Thus Eusebius and Drusius. Ibid. Symmachus, "and they shall rejoice" etc. Eusebius. V. 6. Aquila, "Judge..." Eusebius. Ibid. Aquila, "God in the palaces" etc. Thus Drusius. But Eusebius ascribes to Symmachus that which is attributed to Aquila, and vice versa. V. 7. Aquila, "Settles" etc. Eusebius presents these readings, which are not so accurately described by Drusius. The Colbert manuscript, written in lines, brings forward the reading of Theodotion, not previously published. Eusebius, in his Commentary on the Psalms, thinks that the word "monks," which is read in the version of Symmachus, refers to those who are called monks among the Christians: but we have refuted his opinion in the Preliminaries to these same Commentaries. You may see it there. Euthymius is better: Symmachus, he says, for human beings, whom the Prophet says are of one character, but are unanimous, rendered "monks": as if separated and solitary from every worldly business. It is said, clearly, of solitaries of any kind, not of Christian monks. Ibid. Symmachus, "those who dwell..." etc. Thus Eusebius. Another codex has "for enjoyment," incorrectly. The codices bring forward the reading of Theodotion. Ibid. The readings of Aquila and Symmachus are exhibited by Eusebius; the reading of Theodotion by the Colbert manuscript mentioned above. Aquila, "the smooth rock/stone." Drusius, indeed, "leopetrian," but "leopetria" is a smooth stone, or a stone of a polished surface. The LXX use this word in Ezekiel XXIV, 7. V. 8. A Royal codex has a fuller version of Symmachus than Drusius. Aquila, "rendered invisible." See 1 Kings XXII, 19. V. 9. Symmachus, "the earth trembled" etc. Thus Eusebius and one Royal [codex] from Theodorus. V. 10. Aquila, "the inheritance" etc. Thus Eusebius, Theodoret, and two Royal [codices], one of which has "labored." Eusebius has the reading of Symmachus. V. 11. The rest, "through goodness." Drusius. V. 12. Symmachus, "The Lord gave" etc. Eusebius. Drusius, however, reads "to those bringing good tidings," but suspects one should read "to those receiving good tidings," which reading would square better with the Hebrew word. V. 13. Symmachus, "kings" etc. Thus Eusebius, Theodoret, and two Mss. Eusebius has, "and the beloved were." Ibid. Aquila, "and beauty" etc. One Royal [codex] from Theodorus thus puts forward the readings of Aquila and Symmachus. V. 14. Symmachus, "if you lie among" etc. Thus Eusebius and a Royal [codex] from Theodorus, which reads "between" for "among." Ibid. Symmachus, "and her members." One Royal [codex] from Theodorus. Those who translated "limbs," or "hind-parts," perhaps read *ʾabrothay* for *ʾaḥarothay*.

Notes and various readings for Psalm LXVII. V. 15, 16. S., when he was dividing, etc. Eusebius. But that which is read in the LXX, one Coislin codex testifies to be Theodotion’s. V. 17. Drusius and one Regius exhibit the reading of Aquila thus: to sit upon it. Two others have it. We borrow the full reading of Symmachus from Eusebius, who reads, it is zealously sought. Drusius, why do you quarrel, and he adduces this one from Symmachus. So Theodoret in chapter xxxiv of Ezekiel. V. 18. S., vehicle, etc. Eusebius. Jerome translated the Hebrew [nnash] as thousands of those abounding; having followed Aquila, as it seems, who is wont to translate [sh-n-an] as to abound. And he seems to have read [sh-n-an] instead of [sh-n-an]. ^B V. 19. S., although disobedient, etc. Theodoret, one Regius and Drusius. Eusebius produces the reading of Symmachus. Drusius. etc. Eusebius. V. 22. S., thick hair returning, etc. So Eusebius and Drusius. Two mss., traversing reading, which, as it appears, they borrow from the LXX. V. 25.

In other codices it was formerly written, according to Theodoretus, *for a memorial for saving me, O Lord*—and so it is read in the Roman edition, where, however, *Lord* is given instead of *Lord*. The reading of Theodoretus is thus found in one Royal codex: this in some copies I found; in others not. But it is not found in the Hebrew, nor among the other interpreters.

Notes and various readings on Psalm LXX. The title in the LXX Interpreters was once thus, according to Theodoret: ^B *Para Hebraiois*. That is, A Psalm of David, of the sons of Jonadab, and of those who first were led into captivity, without a title among the Hebrews. And thus, as Theodoret notes there, the title itself declares that the psalm among the Hebrews is without an inscription. V. 3. Aq., "Thou art my rock," etc. Eusebius has the readings of Aquila and Symmachus in the psalms. V. 5. "My expectation," etc. From two Royal MSS. V. 6. Eusebius brings forward the full interpretation of this and the following verse from Symmachus. V. 8, 9. Sym., "praise" etc. Eusebius. But Theodoret on Symmachus. V. 10, 11. etc. From Eusebius. V. 12. Or, "and the others," etc. Thus the MSS and Drusius. V. 13. Sym., "let them be ashamed" etc. Eusebius and Drusius. V. 14. Eusebius exhibits the interpretations of Aquila and Symmachus. V. 15 and 16. Sym., "my mouth" etc. Eusebius and Drusius. This reading of Symmachus is part from three MSS, part from Eusebius.

Notes and various readings for Psalm LXX

We borrow these from Eusebius and Theodoret. [In this passage of Symmachus, we have filled the lacuna left by Montfaucon from the commentary of Eusebius himself; namely, from *kata* up to *sou*. DRACH.]

V. 17. A., O God etc. These are from Drusius. V. 19. A., S., G'., O God unto the heights etc. These are from Theodoret. But he prefixes only Aquila and Symmachus to this interpretation: the Colbertinus manuscript alone adds the Sixth Edition. Ibid. A., S., O'., Th., E., G'. etc. Thus the Colbertinus manuscript is written in verse, which, as I think, adds the other interpretation for that reason, namely, "O God, who is like you," in order to indicate that all interpreters have one or the other version. V. 20. S., and afflictions. Drusius. V. 21. A., you shall multiply etc. Agellius. S., you shall increase etc. Thus Drusius and one Regius, which however has *parakyklōseis*. V. 22. S., and I therefore. Thus one Regius from Theodoret. Ibid. A., I will sing beautifully etc. Eusebius. V. 23. S., it will speak well etc. Eusebius. V. 24. The same Eusebius exhibits the readings of Aquila and Symmachus.
