1 Ὦ, Syr. Harcl. mg. read at commencement of verse Θελογτος δε του Παυλον κατα την ιδιαν βουλην πορευεσθαι εις Ἱεροσολυμα, ειπεν αυτῳ το πνευμα υποστρε- Φειν εις την Ασιαν. διελθων δε τα ανωτερικα µερη. See above on xviii, 21, and Ramsay, St. Paul, p. 266—the supposed failure to pay the visit to Jerusalem is εχ- plained by the interpolation of the above statement; cf. Harris, Four Lectures, etc., Ῥ. 48, who quotes Ephrem, in loco. The omission of the notice about Apollos is explained by Weiss, Codex D, p. 93, on the ground that it had no meaning for the reviser, but it may have been accidental because of the other changes.

in favour of the South Galatian view, and most recently Askwith, Epistle to the Galatians (1899); whilst to the other side may be added Volkmar, Schirer, Holsten, who has examined the whole subject closely in his Das Evangelium des Paulus, p. 35 ff. (chiefly in reply to MHausrath’s strong support of the opposing view), Zockler, Jilicher, Hilgenfeld, Zettschrift fur wissenschaft. Theol., p. 186 ff. and p. 353, 1896, Schmiedel, and amongst English writers, Findlay, Epistles of St. Paul, p. 288 ff., and very fully Dr. Chase, Expositor, 1893, 1894.
We can only make a passing allusion to the date or possible date of the Gala- tian Epistle. Ramsay, δὲ. Paul, p. 189 ff., places it at the close of the Apostle’s second missionary journey during his stay at Antioch, xviii. 22 (A.D. 55), whilst McGiffert also places it at Antioch, but before the Apostle started on this same journey, not at its close, Apostolic Age, p. 226. Rendall, Ex- positor, April, 1894, has assigned it an earlier date, 51, 52, and places it amongst the earliest of St. Paul’s Epistles, and more recently Zahn has dated it almost equally early in the beginning of 53, and upon somewhat similar grounds, Einleitung, i., p. 139 (the three oldest Epistles of St. Paul according to him being the group of Galatians, 1 Thessa- lonians, 2 Thessalonians, all written in the same year). But on the other hand, Lightfoot, Galatians, p. 43 ff., and Salmon, Introd., p. 376, not only place the Epistle later than any of the dates suggested above, but assign it a place between 2 Corinthians and Romans, arguing from the similarity of subject and style between the three Epistles. Most of the continental critics would place it in the same group, but as the earliest of the four great Epistles written
