14. T p BaXax) This is the reading of the Alex. Cod.,3 and indeed,
as I have mentioned in the Apparatus, in the first edition of Mill. See App. Ed. ii. : The changes which the Edition of Kuster was the
first to make for the worse , or even for the better , are everywhere ascribed by philologists on this side of the sea to Mill himself. I indeed corrected with great labour , from the first edition of Mill , the errors of the second , especially in the Apocalypse : therefore where my Appara- tus differs from the second edition , I again and again assert , that the difference is not the result of carelessness. In this phrase, ivho taught rp Balak , the Dative of advantage \_for Balak] is the sense which holds good, which Wolf does not deny, p. 463; nor is that case more to be met with anywhere than in the history of Balaam : xardpaesat [hoi rov \abv rovrov , x.r.X., Num. xxii. and xxiii.
