Against Marcion 14

CCEL

9. Luke vii 19, but differing from the Syriac Bible.

10. Hole in MS.

11. Ephraim seems to have regarded the Song of the Three Children as an integral part of the Book of Daniel.

12. See John i 10 (C, not syr.vg).

13. Delete the footnote, p. 71 , 1. 37.

14. Luke x 22 (not as in the Syriac Bible).

15. 1 Cor. ii 8 ( knew it, syr.vg.).

16. Matt, v 5 and 3 inaccurately cited).

17. Ps. cix 24.

18. Job xvi 15.

19. Ps. lxix 11 [12].

20. Isaiah lviii 5 ff. (not quite accurately cited).

21. See Exod. iv 24-26 : the same view of the passage is taken by Aphraates ( Wright, p. 110, 1. 11 — Pat. Syr. i 257) and by Ephraim elsewhere ( ES i 205C).

22. See Exod. xxiv 13.

23. I.e., apparently, the Creator.

24. Luke vii 24.

25. [Syriac] does appear to be the reading of the palimpsest. It is the only occurrence of the ordinary Syriac form of the name 'Jesus' in the anti-Marcionite treatises.

26. Luke vii 23, but the wording is that of Matt, xi 6 C. Epiphanius ( Haer. 324) says Marcion read this 'corruptly' ( parhllagme/non ), referring the application of the saying to John: we may infer that the corruption consisted in reading e0a_n mh_ for o4j e0a_n mh_ .

27. See Gen. iii 24, and above, p. 58.

28. Read as in the text, and delete the note to p. 87, l. 37.

29. Or, 'men,' and so throughout the paragraph.

30. This word (p. 89, 1. 9) is illegible, but for the idea of ' flocks' and ' shepherds ' in Marcionite sources, see p. 106, 1. 40 ff.

31. The three illegible lines must express something like " before the price was agreed upon."

32. See Eph. i 4.

33. Luke ix 35, as in syr.C, and often elsewhere in Ephraim.
