Notes and various readings on Psalm CXV. The Hebrew and the remaining interpreters, and indeed also the Syrian, join this to the preceding: since it adheres to the same sentiment; and by dividing the ninth psalm into two, they nevertheless through this conjunction of psalms preserve the same number of psalms. One Royal [manuscript] and Theodoret have this note. Jerome however says that Symmachus, like the LXX, divides the psalm into two.

Notes and Various Readings to Psalm CXVII

V. 5. Sigma: and he heard me, etc. Thus one Royal [manuscript] from an anonymous source. V. 10. Sigma: I have crushed them. One Royal [manuscript]. V. 11. Sigma: they surrounded me, etc. Drusius. V. 12. Sigma: And they were extinguished, etc. Drusius. V. 22. Sigma: this became. Theodoret, one Royal [manuscript], and Drusius. V. 23. Alpha: from, etc. Drusius. This version is attributed to Symmachus in Corderius. Ibid. Alpha: this, on the contrary, etc. The same. [It is difficult for us to believe that the version which is here attributed to Symmachus is not that of Aquila, since it conforms rather to the spirit of this literal translator. However, we would more willingly ascribe that which is presented as Aquila's to Symmachus. DRACH.]

Notes and various readings for Psalm CXVIII V. 1. Another, blameless. One Coislin[ianus]. V. 9. S., by what shall a younger man etc. One Coislinianus and Drusius.

Notes and various readings on Psalm CXVIII

V. 109. A., my soul etc. Drusius. The Coislinianus (num. 48) adds the word *endelechōs* to Aquila, and *diapantos* to Symmachus. The Roman Edition adds *en tais chersi sou*, in thy hands. [Origenes in Opp., vol. II, p. 809, Paris ed., provides us with the interpretation of Aquila for the other part of this verse, which is: and I have not forgotten thy law. Furthermore, the readings of Symmachus and the Quinta, as well as Aquila, differ there from those published here by Montfaucon. Origen, however, has this: "Aquila thus: My soul in my basket/my continuous state, and I have not forgotten thy law. Symmachus: My soul is always in my hands. The Quinta is the same as the Seventy." DRACH.] V. 112. S., for a recompense. So one codex. V. 116. A., in thy word etc. Drusius. V. 118. A., they have rejected etc. We borrow all these readings from Drusius and from one Regius; the latter attributes the final part of the version of Aquila and the Quinta thus: E', *for their false conspiracies*. V. 119. A., drops/crusts etc. Drusius, two Regii, and Theodoret. All interpreters read *nsw*. V. 120. A., have been destroyed etc. Drusius. V. 121. A., E', G', I have done etc. Drusius. Ibid. A., do not abandon etc. Eusebius and two Regii. V. 122. A., O., I have given a pledge etc. From Theodoret and one Regius. V. 126. S., it is time to act etc. Drusius (incorrectly *kraksai*). Another, *time of correction* etc. Corder. Ibid. A., have made void etc. Drusius. [In Origen, vol. II, p. 811, the reading of Symmachus varies thus: *hote skedannuousi* (when they scatter). DRACH.] V. 136. S., concerning etc. One Regius. [Add Origen who, in vol. II, p. 813, provides the version of Symmachus for this whole verse: "Symmachus," he says, "thus: Rivers of waters have escaped my eyes for etc." The first comma, in Hebrew sounds: *plgy mym yrdw ‘yny*, "Rivers of waters have brought down my eyes." DRACH.] Ed. Rom. *elaxa*, I guarded. V. 139. A., my zeal etc. Drusius. V. 143. S., affliction etc. Eusebius and one Colbert. But the Coislinianus (num. 48) has: S., *thlipsis kai enkakōsis*. [According to the Catena of the Greek Fathers, it should be read *enkakōseis*, but according to Origen, vol. II, p. 813, it should be read *kakōseis*. DRACH.] And he brings forward the version of Aquila: A., *thlimmō* etc. [The lacuna from which the version of Aquila suffers here is completed thus in Origen, ibid.: *hai entolai sou apolausis mou*, "thy commandments are my delight." DRACH.] V. 149. A., according to thy judgments etc. Drusius. V. 150. S., they have hastened etc. The same. V. 152. A., from the beginning etc. Coislin. num. 48. V. 154. A., judge me. Ibid. Ibid. A., and I have been treated with violence. Corder. V. 156. A., according to thy judgments etc. Ibid. V. 158. A., O., G', those who reject etc. Ibid. V. 163. A., E', I have hated falsehood. One Coislin. Ibid. O', E', I have loved. The other Coislin. V. 164. Another, *very often*. Theodoret. Ibid. A., E', I have praised thee. Drusius. V. 170. A., my prayer. S., *supposito* [supplanted/supposed]... Drusius renders this in Latin only; perhaps it should be read *suppositio* [supplication/postulation], which seems to be expressed from the Greek word *hypothesis*. [Origen, ibid., p. 817, provides the Greek words of Aquila as well as those of Symmachus: "Aquila indeed, *deēsis mou* (my prayer), but Symmachus, *hikesia mou* (my supplication), have said." From the word *supplicatio*, the error *supposito* emerged. DRACH.] Another, *my prayer*, so one Colbert. V. 173. A., O., I have chosen etc. So two Regii and Theodoret. V. 174. A., I have longed for etc. Drusius.

Notes and variant readings on Psalm CXXXVIII. In some copies is added: Of Zacharias in the dispersion. But I have found this neither in the Hebrew, nor among the LXX, nor among the other interpreters. Theodoret brings forward this note concerning the inscription of certain copies. V. 3. My way. We borrow the version of Symmachus from Drusius, and that of Theodotion from Theodoret. Ibid. A., S., O', Th. etc. Drusius. V. 4. A., S., there is no speech etc. Thus Martianaeus expressed the readings of Aquila and Symmachus from Jerome. The words of Jerome to Sunnias are these: "Furthermore, both among the LXX and among all the interpreters, and the Hebrew text itself, it has written either *laliā* or *logos*, that is, speech and word." Finally, the Hebrew is called *MALA*. But in the Roman edition, at Symmachus, one reads *heterologia*, a varying speech. Which reading indeed does not seem to me to conflict with the words of Jerome. For Jerome, if I am not mistaken, only means that all other interpreters used words, or similar ones, which expressed the Hebrew word, otherwise than *dolos* (guile), as it was read in some copies. V. 6. Excels etc. Thus one Royal codex and Drusius. Ibid. Another, has strengthened etc. One Royal from Chrysostom. Ibid. A., not strong etc. Drusius. V. 9. A., to tent etc. The same. V. 10.

SERIES GRAECA PRIOR, IN WHICH APPEAR THE FATHERS, DOCTORS, AND WRITERS OF THE GREEK CHURCH FROM ST. BARNABAS TO PHOTIUS, UNDER THE DIRECTION OF J.-P. MIGNE, OF THE UNIVERSAL CLERGY LIBRARY, OR EDITOR OF THE COMPLETE COURSES IN INDIVIDUAL BRANCHES OF ECCLESIASTICAL SCIENCE.

Patrology, like the Church herself, is divided into two parts, one namely Latin, the other Graeco-Latin. The Latin, now fully drafted as regards the first series, stands with its bulk of two hundred and twenty-five volumes, and will soon stand after the indices are completed, and comes for the price of 1125 francs. The Greek has been committed to type in a double edition. The former embraces the Greek text together with a Latin version alongside, and has reached one hundred and nine volumes, but without indices; the latter, however, exhibits only this version, and therefore is retained within fifty-five volumes; both had appeared entirely by the twenty-fourth day of December 1860. Each Graeco-Latin volume is sold for eight francs, each purely Latin one for only five francs: in either case, however, if the buyer wishes to enjoy the benefit of this price, it will be necessary to purchase the entire collection, either Greek or Latin, consisting of 326 volumes for the larger edition and 272 for the smaller without indices, for otherwise the size of each volume as well as difficulties will equalize the various prices. Nevertheless, if anyone buys the Graeco-Latin collection entire and separately, or the same translated from Greek into Latin, then he will obtain each volume for nine or for six francs. These conditions are applied to the series of Patrology not yet printed.
