Introductory Notice to Constitutions of the Holy Apostles.
[3703] Ch. xxvii., xxviii., xxx.-xxxiv., and ch. xlii.-xlvii., occur in Syriac and Coptic, as well as in the Greek mss.
[3704] One V. ms. has the following note: “Simon the Canaanite, preacher of the truth, is crowned with martyrdom in Judea in the reign of Domitian.”
[3705] The words from “concerning” to “constitution” are omitted in the Oxford ms., in Syriac, and Coptic.
Sec. IV.—Certain Prayers and Laws.
[3706] This chapter is not found in the Coptic and Syriac. One V. ms. has the following note: “Matthew (probably a mistake for Matthias) taught the doctrines of Christ in Judea, and was one of the seventy disciples. After the ascension of Christ he was numbered with the twelve apostles, instead of Judas, who was the betrayer. He lies in Jerusalem.”
[3708] The Oxford ms. reads: “I the same, Simon the Canaanite, make a constitution.”
[3709] “Deacons” omitted in Oxford ms. and in Coptic.
[3710] “Two,” Oxford ms.
[3711] “One,” Oxford ms.
[3712] One V. ms. has the following instead of the title: “Paul, the teacher of the Gentiles, having proclaimed the Gospel of Christ to the Gentiles from Jerusalem even to Illyricum, was cut off in Rome while teaching the truth, by Nero and King Agrippa, being beheaded, and has been buried in Rome itself.”
