← The Expositor's Greek Testament — Volume 3

D. Codex Claromontanus (sec. vi.), a Greco-Latin MS. at Paris, edited by Tischendorf in 1852. D> and De denote the readings introduced by correctors of the seventh and ninth centuries respectively. The Latin text is represented by d; it follows the Old Latin version with modifications.

E. Codex Sangermanensis (szc. ix.), a Grzeco-Latin MS., now at St. Petersburg, formerly belonging to the Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Its text is largely dependent upon that of D. The Latin version, e (a corrected copy of d), has been printed, but with incomplete accuracy, by Belsheim (1885).

F, Codex Augiensis (szc. ix.), a Greco-Latin MS., at Trinity College, Cambridge, edited by Scrivener in 1859. Its Greek

text is almost identical with that of G, and it is therefore VOL. III.

not cited save where it differs from that MS. Its Latin version, f, presents the Vulgate text with some modifica- tions.

G. Codex Boernerianus (sac. ix.), a Graeco-Latin MS., at Dres- den, edited by Matthzi in 1791. Written by an Irish scribe, it once formed part of the same volume as Codex Sangallensis (8) of the Gospels. The Latin text, g, is based on the O.L. translation.

H. Codex Coislinianus (sxc. vi.), fragments of which survive in several libraries. Of our Epistle chap. iv. 2-7 is at St. Petersburg, and chaps. x. 18-xi. 6 and xi. 12-xii. 2 at Mount Athos. These latter fragments were edited by Duchesne in 1876; the readings of the former are given by Tischendorf.

K. Codex Moscrtensis (szec. ix.), edited by Matthzi in 1782,

L. Codex Angelicus (sc. ix.), at Rome, collated by Tischendorf and others.

M. Codex Ruber (sec. ix.), at the British Museum; it derives its name from the colour of the ink. It contains of this Epistle chaps. i. 1-15 and x. 13-xii. 5.

O. This is a fragment (sec. vi.), at St. Petersburg, containing chaps. i. 20-ii, 12.

Ρ. Codex Porphyrianus (sec. ix.), at St. Petersburg, collated by Tischendorf. Its text is deficient for chap. ii. 13-16.

R. Codex Cryptoferratensis (sac. vii.), a palimpsest fragment containing chap. xi. 9-19, edited by Cozza in 1867, and cited by Tischendorf.'

The tendency of these MSS. to fall into groups will be apparent on a cursory inspection of the apparatus criticus. The readings of DEG are, as a rule, ‘Western’; while ΝΒ represent (as usual) a weight of authority that cannot be rejected without much hesitation. The lacunz in A and C prevent the affinities of the “ Alexandrian” group NACLP from being as apparent here as in other Epistles (ε/. Sanday-Headlam, Romans, p. Ixxi).

1 The following uncial authorities for our Epistle are as yet inedited :— S. At Mount Athos (sac. viii. ?), contains, inter alia, chaps. i. 1-xi. 23. wy. A ninth-century Codex at Mount Athos. It is said to be complete. 5. Codex Patiriensis (sec. v.), at Rome (Vat. Gr. 2061). It contains chaps, iv. 7-vi. 8 and vii. 15-x. 6 of our Epistle.
