[2055] Sax.: And they inquired diligently whether perchance there were there any one who had miraculous relics of the Saviour, of His clothing, or other precious things; and they sought so diligently, that they found a woman, etc.
[2056] In the Saxon, Joseph’s speech is: I know that they took Him down from the cross, and laid Him in the tomb which I had cut out of the rock. And I was one of those who guarded His tomb: and I bent my head and thought I should see Him, but I beheld nothing of Him, but saw two angels, one at the head and the other at the foot, and they asked me whom I was seeking. I answered and said to them, I seek Jesus who was crucified. Again they said to me, Go into Galilee; there shall you see Him, as He said to you before.
[2057] A few lines of the text are here very corrupt, and are omitted by Tischendorf. The meaning of them is: And woe’s me, because, contrary to the law, thou hast treated me most unjustly. Ah! woe’s me, because thou hast taken my Lord from me; just as the Jews did contrary to the law in crucifying in this world the Lord Jesus Christ, whom the eyes of your Cæsar have not seen. But woe’s me! have I done contrary to the law? Have I deserved to suffer this punishment?

[2061] Various reading: Let it be…and we will write, etc.
[2062] Puteoli.
[2063] The geographical names are given in the peculiar forms of the text. Occasionally the usual forms, such as Baiæ, occur.
