Cotelerius1 has published with the apostolical constitutions, and by Hesychius in the article 't'apa.2 As this reading is shorter and middle,3 it appears to be the right one. Some persons having appended the disputed clause from the parallel passage of Mark as a gloss, others introduced it into the text from the same source. Their reading considers Thaddaeus as a surname, and Lebbaeus as the name of this apostle : His name, however, in reality was Judas the brother of James : but he was called Leb baeus by name, as it were to distinguish him from Judas Iscariot.4
The first Ed. of the Gnomon gives the palm to the shorter reading, o;. So marg. of Ed. 2 and Vers. Germ., leaving it however to the decision of the reader, whether the words 6 eTrixhYi∈ ©«3S«<oc are to be ac cepted or rejected. Michaelis, in his Einleitung, T. ii., p. m. 1687» etc., shows, by many proofs, that Judas the brother of James is the same as Thad- deus and Lebbeus, and was called among the Syrians Adai or Adaeus. — E.

1 COTELERIUS, alias JEAN BAPTISTS COTELIER, born at Nismes in 1627, was one of the most eminent critics of modern times. As a mere child, he was considered a prodigy of learning ; and he sustained this reputation at the Sorbonne, where he took the degree of Batchelor. In 1667 the great Minister Colbert selected him, together with the celebrated Du Cange, to examine and catalogue the Greek MSS. of the Royal Library. The able manner in which he performed this task procured him, in 1676, the Profes sorship of Greek in the Royal College at Paris. His labours were many and valuable. He died in 1686.— (I. B.)
