211. Omitted in 13. "Valens his brother" has a marginal note in A, "he that was burned." The same marginal note is in 13, but is not attached to any particular word. Cf.

Chabot (Paris, 1899-1910) I 295 and IV 153; Barhebraeus, Chronicum Syriacum [ed.....Bedjan] (Parisiis, 1890) p. 66, 11. 10-11.

228. The Greek has tryblion, and so has the Syriac in § 38.

232. Epiphanius here cites a LXX reading not otherwise known for Hos. 3:2.
