A omits Revelation 5:4 which the Latin version of Origen quotes thus: _sed ego flebam … et venit quidam ad me et dixit_ (πρ... [ Continue Reading ]
ΚΑῚ [ἘΓῺ]. The pronoun if genuine is emphatic: “no one could open it: I for my part wept for the impossibility.” _Why_ he wept will be variously explained, according to the view taken of the meaning of the Book. If it be the Book of Life, the reason is obvious: if it be the future purposes of God, t... [ Continue Reading ]

ἝΧΟΝΤΕΣ ἝΚΑΣΤΟΣ. א reads ἕκαστος ἔχοντες; Hipp[200] omits ἕκαστος. [200] St Hippolytus. The readings not given by Tischendorf are from the newly published 4th book of his commentary on Daniel.

ἌΙΔΟΥΣΙΝ. A reads αδωσιν, which clearly rests on mispronunciation; not as is generally assumed, where MSS. are divided between future indicatives and aorist subjunctives, on grammatical idiosyncrasies of the writer.

ΚΑῚ ΕἾΔΟΝ. Here we might almost translate “in my vision,” though it is no doubt implied that he saw the Angels whose voice he heard. ΚΎΚΛΩΙ. We cannot tell if they formed a complete circle round the Throne, or a semicircle between it and the Seer, or a semicircle on the side away from him. But thou... [ Continue Reading ]
ἌΞΙΟΝ. Tisch[214] reads ἄξιος with A. [214] Tischendorf: eighth edition; where the text aud notes differ the latter are cited. 12. ΛΈΓΟΝΤΕΣ.
