20. Supdiog) The most approved MSS. have here adpdicv,1 and the lxx. and Epiphanius. Let this be compared with the Syntagmata of Hiller, p. 86.

24. Ta sdvri) Erasmus added ruv ewfygj'svw v,2 and so did innumer- able editors, evidently following his authority without any further examination. If Erasmus were alive at the present day, he would immediately, in my opinion, expunge the commentary of Andreas, which he eagerly caught at as the text. He also and others, who first revised the New Testament in Greek, if they should compare the copious materials collected in these two centuries, with that scantiness with which they themselves formerly had to contend, would willingly yield to the truth, and would exhort the most eager defenders of the reading established by them, in some instances with such difficulty, either to follow or lead them to better things. — did) answers to the prefix i>, Isa. lx. 3.

abominationem ; ” so B and Rec. Text, noiovv. — E.
