[3113] See note 3, p. 673, infra.
[3114] [The omission of reference to St. Paul is a token of a corrupt and mediæval text here.]
[3115] The reading of C. The ms. A. gives what Cureton transcribes as Gothia, which is almost the same as the word rendered “Inner.” Possibly this explains the origin of the reading of A. “Galatia” was perhaps accidentally omitted.—Tr.
[3116] C. has “the Danube.”
[3117] Or “Soba,” the same as Nisïbis.
[3118] The number seventy-two may have arisen from the supposition, mentioned in the Recognitions and in the Apostolical Constitutions, that our Lord chose them in imitation of the seventy-two elders appointed by Moses.
[3119] Or “place.”—Tr.
[3120] See note 6 on p. 661.
[3121] B. reads “Priscilla,” C. “Pricillas.” Prisca and Priscilla are the forms in which the name occurs in the New Testament.
[3122] Probably the same as Manaen, mentioned in Acts xiii. 1, as associated with Paul at Antioch.
[3123] [The failure to praise the work of him who “laboured more abundantly than all” others, is noteworthy, and can only be accounted for by Middle-Age corruptions of the text.]
[3124] C. adds, “crucifying him on a cross.” C. also adds, “Here endeth the treatise of Addæus the apostle.”
The Teaching of Simon Cephas in the City of Rome.
[3125] This is found in the same ms. as the preceding, quoted as A. There is also another copy of it in Cod. Add. 14,609, referred to here as B. [It looks like an afterthought of a later age, when the teaching of Peter was elevated into a specialty.]
[3126] B. reads “the Apostle Peter.”
[3127] [This apocryphal history proceeds on the theory that St. Peter preceded St. Paul at Rome, which cannot be reconciled with Scripture and chronology. Gal. ii. 9; Rom. i. 5-15.]
[3128] The reading of the ms. is “thirtieth.”
[3129] From this place to “the light” (last line of text on this page), A. is lost, and the text has been supplied from B.
[3130] The ms. gives, “clad in the white.”
[3131] Lit. “His marvellous helps.”—Tr. [See p. 652, supra.]
[3132] [Mark i. 16-17. Compare Jer. xvi. 16.]
[3133] The text A. is resumed after this word. The reading “and now that the light,” etc., seems faulty. The *** (that) might easily have been occasioned by the *** of the word which it precedes.—Tr.
