Introductory Notice to Apocrypha of the New Testament.
[2468] The text has ματαίοις, vain; the true reading is probably καμάτοις or μόχθοις.
[2469] Inserted fromms. C.
[2470] ms. B. inserts: And Eve was twelve years old when the demon deceived her, and gave her evil desires. For night and day he ceased not to bear hatred against them, because he himself was formerly in paradise; and therefore he supplanted them, because he could not bear to see them in paradise. [B is a Viennams. of the thirteenth or fourteenth century; see Tischendorf, Apocal. Apocr., p. xi.—R.]
[2471] This is after the version of the LXX., and it is also the interpretation of Gesenius of the Hebrew shûph, Gen. iii. 15.
[2472] Or, incense.
[2473] This is the “sweet cane” of Isa. xliii. 24; Jer. vi. 20. See also Exod. 30.23; Song of Sol. 4.14; Ezek. 27.19.
[2474] Or, and we were upon the earth.
[2475] Perhaps τάφον, tomb, would be better than τόπον.
[2476] Or, anoint.
[2477] Or, all sin.
[2478] The text has πονήσαντα, a misprint for ποιήσαντα.
[2479] Lit., of a womb.
[2480] The last clause is not in C.
[2481] ms. A here ends thus: the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and to ages of ages. Amen. [A is the Venice ms. “of about the thirteenth century;” Tischendorf, Apocal. Apocr., p. xi.—R.]
[2482] The mss. originally had days, and hours is substituted in another hand.
[2483] i.e., mounted His chariot.
[2484] According to a Jewish tradition, these were the four angels who stood round the throne of God.
[2485] Probably the reading should be ἕτερον, another, and not ἑταῖρον. Or it may mean: I will not receive a friendly body, i.e., one upon which I have no claims.
[2486] i.e., of which Adam was made.
[2487] Lit., earth.
[2488] ms. D ends here with: To whom be glory and strength to ages of ages. Amen. [D is the Milan manuscript which Tischendorf assigns to “About the eleventh century,” Apocalypses Apocryphæ, p. xi.—R.]
