^D 1. Only good is God to Israel, to those who are pure of heart. 2. As almost nothing, my steps were poured out. 4. For there are no bands in their death, and their strength is sound. 5.

HEXAPLA OF THE THINGS THAT SURVIVE. THE HEBREW TEXT. THE HEBREW IN GREEK LETTERS. AQUILA.

The imaginations of the heart passed by. 8, 9. 11. 13, 14. AQUILA. They passed by the watchtowers of the heart. 8, 9. 11. 13, 14. But in vain I have cleansed my heart. 16. 17. 18-20.

VERSION OF THE HEBREW TEXT. VULGATE LATIN. AQUILA.

The imaginations of the heart passed by. Hieronymus: The thoughts of the heart passed by. 8, 9. They will show themselves dissolute, they will speak calumny in evil, they will speak from on high. They have set their mouth in the heavens, and their tongue will walk in the earth. Hieronymus: They mocked, and spoke calumny in malice: speaking from on high. They set their mouth in the heaven, and their tongue walked in the earth. 11. And they said, How does God know, and is there knowledge in the Highest? Hieronymus: And they said, How does God know? And is there knowledge in the Highest? 13, 14. Truly in vain have I cleansed my heart, and washed my palms in innocence; and I was scourged all the day, and my chastisement was in the mornings. Hieronymus: Did I then cleanse my heart in vain, and wash my hands in my innocence? And I was scourged all the day, and my chastisement was in the mornings. 16. And I thought to know this, it is labor in my eyes. Hieronymus: And I thought that I might understand this: it is labor in my eyes. 17. Until I come into the sanctuaries of God, I will understand their latter end. Hieronymus: Until I come to the sanctuaries of God: and I will understand their latter end. 18-20. Truly in slippery places Thou hast set them; Thou hast made them fall into desolations. How have they come to desolation almost suddenly? They have failed, they have been consumed by terrors, as a dream from one waking. Hieronymus: But yet in a slippery place [thou hast set them].

VULGATE LATIN. They passed into the affection of the heart. 8, 9. They have thought and spoken wickedness; they have spoken iniquity from on high. They have set their mouth in the heaven, and their tongue has passed on the earth. 11. And they said: How does God know? And is there knowledge in the Highest? 13, 14. And I said: Then in vain have I justified my heart, and washed my hands among the innocent. And I have been scourged all the day, and my chastisement has been in the mornings. 16. I supposed that I might know this, labor is before me. 17. Until I enter into the sanctuary of God, and understand concerning their latter ends. 18-20. But yet because of deceit Thou hast set them, Thou hast cast them down while they were lifted up. How are they made into desolation? They have suddenly failed, they have perished because of their iniquity. As the dream of them that awake.

AQUILA. They passed by the watchtowers of the heart. 8, 9. 11. 13, 14. But in vain I have cleansed my heart. 16. 17. 18-20.

PSALM LXXII

^ASYMMACHUS. They passed by what appeared to the heart. 8, 9. Deriding, they spoke with much sycophancy; they spoke against the height. They set their mouth in heaven, and their tongue was circumambulations upon the earth.

11. [And they said,] How does God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?

13, 14. Perhaps, therefore, I also have cleansed my soul in vain, and washed my hands in innocence, and have continued being mocked every day, and being rebuked every morning.

16. And if I was considering to know this, it appeared a hardship to me.

17. Until I enter into the sanctuaries of God, and understand their last ends.

18-20. Truly, in a slip Thou hast set them; Thou cast them down into destructions. Suddenly they failed, they were consumed as if they had not existed, as a dream to one waking up.

LXX INTERPRETERS. They passed into the disposition of the heart. 8, 9. They thought and spoke in wickedness; they spoke iniquity to the height. They set their mouth in heaven, and their tongue passed through the earth.

11. And they said, How does God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?

13, 14. And I said, So then in vain have I justified my heart, and washed my hands in innocence. And I was scourged the whole day, and my rebuke was in the mornings.

16. And I pondered to know this; it is a hardship before me.

17. Until I enter into the sanctuary of God, and understand their last ends.

18-20. Nevertheless, because of their deceits Thou didst set them, Thou cast them down when they were exalted. How have they come to desolation? Suddenly they failed, they perished because of their iniquity, as a dream of one waking up.

THEODOTION. 8, 9. 11. 13, 14. Nevertheless. 16. 17. 18-20.

HEBREW. 21-23. For my heart was embittered, and my kidneys were pierced; and I was foolish and did not know; I was a beast before you. And I am always with you. 24. 25. You will take me by your counsel; and after glory you will receive me. Beside you I have desired nothing on earth. 28. To tell all your works, all your declarations. ^A

HEBREW in Greek characters. 21-23. AQUILA. 21-23. And I am imprudent, and I shall not know. 24. 25. Who is there for me in heaven? And with you I have not desired anything on earth. 28. To tell all your messages.

HEBREW VERSION OF THE TEXT. You set them; you cast them down to destruction. How have they come to desolation? Suddenly they failed, they were consumed as if they were not. As the dream of one waking up.

21-23. For my heart was embittered, and my kidneys were pierced: and I was foolish and did not know; I was a beast before you. And I am always with you. Jerome: because my heart was contracted, and my loins like a smoking fire. And I was foolish and ignorant; as a beast I was made before you, and I was always with you. 24. In your counsel you have led me, and after glory you will take me. Jerome: into your counsel you will lead me, and afterward in glory you will take me. 25. Who is to me in heaven? And with you I have not desired anything on earth. Jerome: who is to me in heaven? And with you I have not desired anything on earth. 28. To tell all your works. Jerome: that I may tell all your declarations.

VULGATA LATINA. 21-23. For my heart was inflamed, and my kidneys were changed, and I was brought to nothing, and I knew not; as a beast I was made before you, and I am always with you. 24. And with glory you have taken me. 25. For what is there for me in heaven? And with you what have I desired upon earth? 28. To tell all your proclamations.

AQUILA. 21-23. And I, imprudent, and I shall not know. 24. 25. Who is to me in heaven? And with you I have not desired anything on earth. 28. To tell all your messages.

Notes and various readings on Psalm LXXII. V. 1. Symmachus, *plēn ontōs* etc. Eusebius. V. 2. Symmachus, *par' ouden* etc. Drusius. A certain anonymous codex among the Regius manuscripts reads *par' oligon* (from Symmachus). V. 4. etc. Eusebius. But the Colbertinus and one Regius edition read *stear gar en ta peri thanatou auton*—less correctly. Drusius cites the reading of Aquila. [In the version of Symmachus, Theodoret has *peri thanatou auton*, but Origen in his works (meaning: "Their eyes go out from fatness")—DRACH.] V. 5. Symmachus, *en talaiporia* etc. Eusebius. Theodotion's reading is held by Drusius. V. 6. Symmachus, *hyperphania* etc. Eusebius. V. 7. Aquila, *exelthon* etc. Eusebius and one Colbertinus codex have the version of Aquila; Symmachus is cited by Eusebius, Drusius, and the manuscripts. Here, in place of [the Hebrew], the Seventy read *adikia auton*. [Another version of Symmachus, which differs a whole heaven from ours, Origen exhibits in his works, namely: "Their eyes go out from fatness"—DRACH.] Ibid. etc. Eusebius. Various etc. Eusebius and Drusius. V. 8 and 9. Symmachus, *katamokomenai elaloun* etc. Eusebius has this passage of Symmachus. Agellius reads: *periepatei en te ge*. V. 11. Symmachus, *oi de elegon* etc. Eusebius and Theodoret. Jerome in his Epistle to Sunia and Fretela says that all possess alike *pōs egnō ho Theos* (How does God know?). V. 13 and 14. Symmachus, *isōs oun* etc. Eusebius thus exhibits the whole passage of Symmachus. But there is the clause of Aquila.

HEBREW in Greek characters. 1. 2.

AQUILA 1. Why, O God, have you cast us off to victory? 2. Remember your congregation, which you redeemed from the beginning.

HEBREW VERSION OF THE TEXT 1. Why, O God, have you cast off to the end? Jerome: why, O God, have you cast off to the end? 2. Remember your congregation, which you purchased of old. Jerome: remember your congregation, which you possessed from the beginning.

VULGATA LATINA 1. Why, O God, have you cast us off to the end? 2. Be mindful of your congregation, which you possessed from the beginning.

^B Notes and various readings for Psalm LXXII.

The Colbert manuscript is written as verse. [dagger]. Drusius. [The reading of Symmachus is presented otherwise in the Greek Catena of the Fathers from the commentary of Theodore: "Perhaps therefore in vain have I cleansed my heart." And thus it corresponds better with the Hebrew 225. DRACH.]

V. 16. "And I was considering," etc. Eusebius and Drusius. V. 17. "Until I enter." Eusebius. V. 18-20. "Truly in slippery places," etc. Eusebius and the Regius manuscript. V. 21-23. "Symmachus, 'My heart was contracted'," etc. Eusebius. Aquila's reading is presented by the Colbert manuscript written as verse [O, "My heart was gladdened." "It was inflamed," Symmachus, "In your counsel," Aquila, "Who is to me," Aquila, "To declare," "your praises," "your announcements," "your promises," "your praises." In the gates of the daughter of Sion, only present in the Seventy. DRACH.]

V. 24. "In your counsel," etc. Eusebius.

V. 25. "Who is to me," etc. Drusius possesses the reading of Aquila; the Regius manuscript [possesses that of] Symmachus.

V. 28. "To declare," etc. Jerome to Sunnia and Fretela has it thus: For which you said you read in the Greek: "your praises," that is, your laudes. And it must be known that it is written in the Hebrew MALOCHOTHACH, which Aquila [interpreted as] your nuncios; the Seventy interpreted as your "prayers," that is, your "proclamations," or "promises": although both praise and proclamation signify the same thing. [Roman Edition, "your praises." DRACH.] Ibid. "That which is in the gates of the daughter of Sion," is found only in the Seventy. Eusebius says that this clause, as not being extant in the Hebrew, was marked with an obelus.

Notes and various readings for Psalm LXXIII.

V. 1. A., O God, etc. Drusius. Corderius reads, A., to what end? [Aquila’s words sound otherwise in the Catena of the Greek Fathers: To what end, O God, have you cast off unto victory? DRACH.] V. 2. Corderius has the reading of Aquila, who seems to have made a change of the words you have redeemed and you have acquired. This reading of Aquila is certainly doubtful. Ibid. A., You have acquired a scepter, etc. Thus Eusebius and Drusius, though the latter subsequently has, A., ...of your inheritance, a rod. The reading of Eusebius, scepter, is confirmed by one Regius manuscript, by the Colbertinus, and by Euthymius. Ibid. S., and you led, etc. Thus from the Roman edition. Drusius. But if the reading is genuine, Symmachus acted as a paraphrast. V. 3. S., the height, etc. Thus Eusebius. Ibid. A., in the sanctuary. So Drusius. Corderius also attributes this to Symmachus. Theodoret, however, notes that the Hebrew word (namely, WTD) is in the singular, and was expressed in the singular by the other translators, and even by the LXX, as they were in the Hexapla. V. 4. A., S., they have boasted, etc. Eusebius. In the Catena of Corderius, it is also attributed to Symmachus. See Psalm 21; our Martianæus published the interpretations of Theodotion thus. The same of Symmachus has it thus, as do Eusebius and Drusius. V. 5, 6. S., known things, etc. Eusebius. V. 8. A., S., they have declared, etc. Our Martianæus presents the readings thus from the Epistle of Jerome and the Sanct. and Fret.

PSALM LXXIII

SYMMACHUS. 14. You have dried up ancient rivers. 15. The spring and the torrent. 16. You have established the sun and the moon. 17. You set up. 18. These. 20. For the dark places of the earth have been filled with the beauties of iniquity. 22. Stand, God, fight for your battle, and be mindful of your reproach from the simple one all the day long. 23. Do not forget the voice of your enemies, that is, of those who have withstood you, until [it] rises up unceasingly.

LXX INTERPRETERS. 14. Ethiopians. V, go out. 15. Springs and torrents. V, the spring and the torrent. You dried up the rivers of Etham. 16. You fashioned the sun and the moon. V, you prepared the moon and the sun. 17. You established. 18. Of this. 20. For they are filled who have been darkened [in] the houses of iniquity of the earth. 22.

A., S., E'., E'., spring and torrent. Etham. Ethan, i.e., [a] mistake. Ancient [spelling] for 'Eban, as in Madian. Thus 'Edem. It is read for 'Eden, which writing imposed upon the most learned Theodoret, so that he thought 'Adam [was] spoken of from 'Eden, [the] place in which he was formed. V. 15. Here Drusius notes: Symmachus rendered "ancient" for Etham. V. 16. A., you prepared the luminary, etc. Eusebius and Drusius. But Eusebius reads for the LXX, "light and the sun." V. 17. A., Θ., you established, etc. Drusius. V. 18. S., these. V. 20. S., for they have been filled, etc. Drusius. V. 22. S., stand, etc. Eusebius. V. 25. Eusebius has the full reading of Symmachus. For "rising up," it seems it should be read "rising up" [participle], and thus we translate in Latin. Martianæus prefers the reading of Aquila.

Hieronymus: The earth shall be dissolved with all its inhabitants. I have established its pillars, Selah. Hieronymus: I have weighed its pillars. Always. 5, 6.

Hieronymus: I said to those who act wickedly, Do not act wickedly; and to the impious, Do not exalt the horn. Do not exalt your horn on high, speaking with a stiff neck. 7, 8. For [it comes] not from the east, and from the west, and not from the desert of the mountains, for God is judging: him He will humble, and him He will exalt. Hieronymus: for neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the solitude of the mountains. But God is judge; this one He will humble, and this one He will exalt. 9. For a cup in the hand of the Lord, and wine has turned red, full of mixture: and He has poured out from this; nevertheless, its dregs they shall wring out; all the impious of the earth shall drink. Hieronymus: for a cup in the hand of the Lord is filled with pure wine to the full, and He shall give to drink from it: nevertheless, its dregs all the drinking impious of the earth shall drink up.

Notes and various readings on Psalm LXXIV. V. 1. The reading of Symmachus is thus given by Eusebius. Drusius reads Ps. Asaph; Theodoretus, Agellius and one [MS] of the Kings, Asap. See below, Ps. LXXVI. V. 3. ^B Α., when I shall have received the collection (synagoge). Symmachus, when I shall have received. Symmachus, when I shall have received the collection (syntage). So Eusebius correctly. Drusius, however, varies from Theodoretus, and does not provide consistent interpretations. Corderius has, syntage. V. 4. Symm. will be established. So one of the Kings [MSS] from Theodore, and Eusebius. Ibid. A., I have weighed, etc. Origen exhibits all these readings in the Opusculum now first edited after the Preliminaries. V. 5 and 6. Symm., I said to those who rebel, etc. Eusebius. V. 7 and 8. Symm., for not from, etc. So Eusebius.

All the men of strength [as to] their hands. Hieron., all the men of the army [as to] their hands. 7. By thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, is brought to sleep even the chariot and the horse.

Notes and various readings on Psalm LXXIV. The Fifth version, ‘from the going forth’, prefers one codex. The Colbertine manuscript exhibits another one of the same, much more prolix, which I know not what foreign element it possesses: it seemed, however, to represent it: [the Fifth], the deserts of the east, and the southern mountains, and northern sections. i.e., those of the southern and northern parts. V. 9. S., cup etc. Eusebius. One manuscript provides the Fifth version’s reading [which is] incomplete. V. 10. From Drusius and from other exemplars. V. 11. A., I will cut off etc. Drusius. Ibid. A., S., E., the horns of his righteousness etc. The same.

[Jerome: Because the wrath of man shall confess to thee: thou shall be girded with the remnants of wrath.] 12, 13.

[Jerome: By the terrible he shall take away the spirit of the princes, by the terrible to the kings of the earth.]

Notes and various readings on Psalm LXXV. The LXX add to the title, *unto the Assyrian*. That addition is read neither by Eusebius, nor was it in the Hexapla, according to Theodoret. V. 5. [A.] *And it came to pass*, etc. I do not know where this version comes from, and Drusius suggests it might be a conjecture; be that as it may, I hardly doubt it was translated thus by Aquila, whom Jerome as a rule follows. A. Eusebius. V. 4. A., *Thureon*, etc. All these readings are found in the short work of Origen published above after the Preliminaries. V. 5. A., *Illumination*, etc. Eusebius presents the versions of Aquila and Theodotion. But Theodoret and the King’s manuscript present that of Symmachus. Drusius thus presents the reading of Symmachus, *Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the mountains of prey*.

PSALM LXXVI

1. To the victor, concerning Idithun, a psalm of Asaph. 2. My voice is unto God, and I cried out; my voice is unto God, and he gave ear unto me.

[Jerome: My hand is stretched out by night, and it rests not.] My soul refused to be comforted. [Jerome: My soul would not be comforted.] ^{B C D}

Notes and various readings on Psalm LXXVII. V. 2. *O', Θ'., in a parable.* So one codex. Doubtless the text of the LXX had been so corrected from Theodotion in the Hexapla. One Coislinian codex has it. Ibid. *A'., and will declare etc.* Eusebius. V. 5. *Σ'., and He established etc.* Eusebius. Drusius, however, reads *and He raised up etc.* [We have added the version of Aquila from the Catena of the Greek Fathers. DRACH.] V. 6. *A'., Σ'., and they shall declare etc.* So Martianæus from Jerome. V. 8. *Σ'., generation etc.* So the Colbertine codex. Written *stiff-necked*. Ibid. *A'., ... and firm etc.* So one Regius codex. But I suspect that Aquila was erroneously substituted there for Symmachus; for besides the fact that it is the very version of Symmachus, Aquila is certainly not accustomed to translate it thus. The version of Symmachus is from Eusebius. V. 15. *A'., and He cleaved etc.* Eusebius. Corderius reads *rocks*. V. 17. *A'., to provoke etc.* Eusebius. V. 20. *A'., flesh etc.* Two Regius codices. V. 21. *A'., and He was angry etc.* Eusebius. V. 21. *A'., and bread of mighty ones etc.* From Eusebius, who notes that this, *bread of angels*, is contained neither in the Hebrew exemplar nor in the other interpreters. V. 26. *Σ'., who brought etc.* From Eusebius, who presents six or seven verses of Symmachus in one series. *Another, He rushed in the heat.* One Coislinian codex. V. 27. *Σ'., as the sand etc.* Eusebius, in whom the first part of this verse is missing. V. 28. *Σ'., and He let fall etc.* The same. V. 29. *Σ'., and they ate etc.* Eusebius. (*) V. 30. *Σ'., still of their food etc.* The same. V. 31. *A'., and He slew etc.* Eusebius presents the full reading of Symmachus; while Drusius and our Martianæus present those of others. One Coislinian codex has it thus. V. 35. *A'., and He finished etc.* Eusebius. V. 36. *Σ'., the Most High etc.* One Regius codex. Drusius. V. 38. *Σ'., and He is merciful etc.* Eusebius. V. 42. *Σ'., they did not remember etc.* Eusebius presents this and the following verses according to the version of Symmachus in one series. (*) Verse 29, 30, distributed somewhat differently than in our exemplars by the illustrious Restorer of the Hexapla, so that the sense might be clearer. We, however, have indicated the end of each Hebrew verse with two dots. DRACH.

Eusebius reads *lithologian* (heap of stones): Jerome *lithaorion* and *lithorion*; Drusius *lithurion*. ^C V. 2. *Another, of thy holy ones.* So one codex.

Drusius [says] "because of the sun," which seems better. Eusebius brings forward the Fifth lection. It is doubtful whether the LXX Interpreters originally had it, for the word [Hebrew omitted] entirely demands it. [On 13. ... ] Eusebius. Ibid. [On "Lord of Hosts"] A, Lord of hosts. So Drusius, who adds this note: Origenes Hom. 4 in Isaiam : It is interpreted Sabaoth, as Aquila handed it down, DOMINUS MILITIARUM (LORD OF HOSTS). Sophon. 1, 5, "to the host of heaven" LXX. Epiphanius against heresies. Aquila everywhere interprets Adonai Sabaoth by saying, i.e., Lord of hosts.

Notes and various readings on Psalm LXXXVI

A note was added to the Greek text of the four-column edition; but in the eight-column edition, it is "not Sion," that is, excluding the letter rho. "Mother Sion" was read in the four-column or Tetrapla, but in the eight-column or Octapla, it was read thus, "not Sion" (mê Sion). V. 7. 'A., "And singing," etc. Eusebius.

Notes and Various Readings to Psalm LXXXVII

V. 1. A., *epi choreias* (on a chorus/dance). So Eusebius and Drusius. Theodoret, however, *epi choreia*. Item S. *dia chorou* (by a chorus). Eusebius and Drusius. But Theodoret, *dichoron* (two-chorus), erroneously. V. 4. A., *kai he zoe mou* (and my life), etc. So Eusebius. V. 5. S., *elogisthen* (I was reckoned), etc. Eusebius. On that, *eis lakkon* (into a pit), one Coislin manuscript notes in the margin *eis bothron* (into a pit/ditch). And below on that, *en lakkō* (in a pit), the same notes *en bothrō*. V. 6. A., *en tethnekosin* (among the dead), etc. The same. Ibid. A., *homoios* (like), etc. Eusebius thus presents the version of Aquila. (*) We borrow the reading of Symmachus from Eusebius and likewise from Drusius. V. 7. A., *thou me* (thou hast set me), etc. Eusebius. Ibid. A., *en skoteinois* (in darkness), etc. The same Eusebius brings forth these readings, and adds: *the Seventy, and in the shadow of death*, which is found neither in the Hebrew nor in the other interpreters. V. 8. S., *emoi epebrisen* (it has pressed heavily upon me), etc. Eusebius. The Colbertine manuscript, written stichometrically, has: S., *ontōs emoi epebrisen*.

(*) Eusebius in his commentary thus presents the latter part of Aquila's version: *ek tēs cheiros sou epethēsan*, they were cut off, which reading squares better with the Hebrew than *apōstēsan*. DRACH.

PSALM LXXXVII

SYMMACHUS — THE LXX INTERPRETERS — THEODOTIO

11. Will you perform wonders for the dead? 12. Or will anyone tell of them in the tomb? 13. Or will they be made known? 14. But I have cried out to you, O Lord, and in the morning my prayer shall prevent you. 15. Why, O Lord, do you cast away my soul? 16-18. Being poor and failing from my youth, I took upon myself your fear. In addition to these things, your angers have passed over me, and your terrors have silenced me. They surrounded me like waters, all the day they encircled me. 19. You have made friend and companion remote, and my acquaintances darkness.

Notes and various readings for Psalm LXXXVII.

The word ὄντως no one inserts except the Colbertine manuscript. Ἐπέβρισεν: thus Eusebius, the Colbertine above, and Drusius. Theodoret, however, writes ἐπείσφρεσεν. The Regius manuscript adds ἐνεβρίμησεν. V. 9. S., "You have made remote," etc. Eusebius. V. 10. S., "my eye," etc. Thus Eusebius brings forward the passage more prolixly and fully. Likewise Theodoret and Drusius, "my eye." But one Regius manuscript and another in the Roman edition have, "my eyes have run down." V. 11. S., "Will you for the dead," etc. Eusebius and one Regius manuscript. V. 12. S., "Or will he tell," etc. Thus one Regius manuscript. V. 13. "Or will it be known." The same. V. 14. S., "But I," etc. The Colbertine manuscript written in verse has this reading. V. 15. A., "Why," etc. Drusius presents these readings. V. 16. S., "Being poor," etc. Eusebius presents the full reading of Symmachus, and the truncated reading of Aquila. V. 19. S., "You have made remote," etc. The Colbertine manuscript written in verse. Drusius has, "A. and Sym., friend and neighbor." He who wrote earlier clearly joined both, because they agreed in meaning.

PSALM XCIII

[original-script column: see facsimile]

Notes and various readings on Psalm XCIII

A Psalm of David. Without title among the Three, and the Fifth, and the Sixth. That is to say, the Psalm itself is David's, but without inscription among three interpreters and the V and VI. We borrow this note of the title from one codex. Eusebius and one Royal codex have only: "without inscription among the Hebrews."

V. 1. A., E., Th., E', G', "Shine forth" (ἐπιφάνηθι). Thus two codices.

V. 6. Th., "drought," etc. Drusius.

V. 8. O', Th., "Understand now, O senseless ones." This is from the Coislinianus, which seems to indicate that the LXX had been emended in this way in the Hexapla from the edition of Theodotion.

Ibid. "Another, discern," etc. The same Coislinianus. This appears to be Aquila's, who usually translates the word *haśkil* as "to be wise" (ἐπιστημονεῖν).

(ἐπιστημονεῖν).

PSALM XCIII

SYMMACUS. 1. Appear. 6. They slew the widow and the orphan, and they murdered the proselyte. 8. Understand, therefore, O foolish ones. Be wise. Another, "You shall be learned." 15.

Or who shall stand with me against the workers of iniquity? 20. Shall the throne of iniquity be joined to thee, which devises labor against the decree? 23. Their sorrows. E, G, "their sorrows."

^D **Notes and various readings on Psalm CI.**

V. 4. A., And my bones were crumbled. Thus Drusius brings forward the readings of Aquila, Symmachus, and Theodotion. See Josue IX, 5. V. 7. A., O., Th., E., I became, etc. Thus Martianæus expressed the versions from Jerome. Jerome’s passage, however, is found in his *Epistle to Sunnia and Fretela* as follows: "In the Hebrew, for 'owl' [nycticorax], the word BOS is written, which Aquila and the LXX and Theodotion and the Fifth edition..."

translated as an owl, but Symmachus as a hoopoe; the Sixth edition [translates it as] an owl, which we also follow more closely. Finally, where in our versions and the Greek it is read: 'I have become like an owl in a dwelling,' many contend that the eagle-owl is meant." Thus we provide the passage from Martianæus. Where he notes that all the manuscripts have *bos*, not *cos*. However, since the [Hebrew letters] B and K are far from being similar in Latin, but on the other hand D and R [in Hebrew, ָר and ָד] are so similar that, as Eusebius testifies, the one is often taken for the other, [he suggests] that Jerome took one letter for the other.

Notes and various readings on Psalm CIII

34. Erodio (*Heron*). It agrees with the old Greek. It is, however, a kind of stork according to some, which is called in Hebrew Ḥasidah, that is, the pious one: which epithet Petronius Arbiter grants to it. Suidas; in Chaldean this bird is called Ḥureta, from whiteness, as if you were to say, and Hureta, that is, white-stork. So far Drusius, who afterwards cites a passage of Jerome, which see in the Epistle to Sunia and Fretela.

On the word Beroš (*fir*), for thus Drusius reads, he speaks thus: More correctly Beroš. Thus the Chaldeans call the fir. The Hebrews say Berot and Berosh. It is found also as Beroth for fir. Beroš made, i.e., of fir. Cant. 1, 17, in the version of Aquila.

V. 18. Rocks etc. Thus from Jerome, Martianaeus. See the Epistle to Sunia and Fretela. In this passage, however, Drusius has some things on the *choirogrylliois* (urchins/hedgehogs) and on *hĕrōdion* (heron).

V. 22. S(ymmachus), *they shall withdraw*. Drusius.

PSALM CVII.

PSALM CVI.

SYMMACHUS. 8. And his wonders to the sons of men. 22. 29. By his establishing the storm into a calm. 36. City of habitation. 38. He has not done few things. 39. And they were diminished and corrupted from evil constraint and misery. 40. And he will cause them to wander in the vanity of mind. 41. And he will strengthen the poor from misery. And he shall arrange them as flocks of kindred.

LXX INTERPRETERS. 8. And his wonders to the sons of men. 22. And let them sacrifice to him a sacrifice of praise. 29. And he commanded the storm, and it stood in a breeze. 36. Cities of habitation. 38. He has not diminished. 39. And they were diminished and suffered from the affliction of evils and sorrow. 40. And he caused them to wander in a trackless place and not in a way. 41. And he helped the poor from misery. And he set them as sheep in families.

THEODOTION. 8. 22. 29. And he established their storm into a breeze. 36. 38. He has not diminished. 39. 40. 41. And he set [them] as sheep in families.

Notes and various readings to Psalm CVI. V. 39. S., "and they were diminished," etc. Idem. V. 40. S., "and he will cause to wander," etc. From two Royal [manuscripts]. V. 41. A., "and he lifts up," etc. Thus [it is] found. Eusebius, however, brings forward only the reading of Symmachus. Ibid. A., "and he will set," etc. Eusebius has the readings of Aquila and Symmachus as such. [Bringing forward the version of Symmachus, in his Commentary on this passage, Eusebius does not have "flocks," but "flock." DRACH.]

LXX INTERPRETERS. 11. A city of defense. 12. Is it not you, O God, who rejected us? And will you not go forth, O God, in our powers?

THEODOTION. 11. 12.

Notes and various readings for Psalm CVII. Ibid. Prior reading of Symmachus, "and do not come," is cited by Drusius and by one Coislinian codex; the latter by two Royal codices. Because the Hebrew language does not have the letter P, it uses Phi instead for the word for the Philistines. The fifth reading is also followed by Eusebius and one Colbert codex. V. 11. Symmachus, a walled-in city. Drusius. V. 12. Symmachus, if not you, etc. Thus the two Royal [codices] from Didymus.

[The others, of those who slander.] The others, of the adversaries. 24. And my flesh has been changed because of oil. 29. [Those who slander me. Another, my adversaries.] 31. From those who pursue [me]. The Fifth, from those who argue. The Sixth, from those who pursue.
