[2294] Lit., of the same form with him.
[2295] The other [Vienna] ms. has: for he neither ate nor drank, in his concern about these things.
[2296] The word thus translated is used by the LXX. in the sense of an asylum, or place of refuge.
[2297] Comp.Mark vii. 34. The addition of Jesus here shows that the writer did not know the meaning of the Aramaic word.

[2302] The change of person is noticable.
[2303] In the otherms. the king prays: And now, since there is still in me a little unbelief, I beseech thee that thou wilt bring the body of Matthew from the sea. For, behold, I will order the body to be thrown into the depths of the sea; and if thou deliver it as thou didst deliver it, in the funeral pile, I will forsake all my gods at once, and believe in thee alone. [The Viennams., here cited, interpolates still more.—R.]
[2305] Ps. iii. 5 according to the LXX.
[2306] Or, of the Eucharist.
[2307] The meaning is not clear. The otherms. has: After one hour he sees in that place an image of a cross coming up from the depth of the sea. [The Viennams. varies more than this extract indicates.—R.]
