309. Lit., "a hidden (cake) of bread."
310. Cf. SG, p. 125.
311. Lit., "2 and one-third and one-fifteenth."
312. Lev. 5:11 and 6:20. In Exod. 16:36 the LXX identifies the ephah with the "three measures."
313. I.e., the tenth letter of the alphabet. This jumping from the fraction ( δεκάτη ) to the ordinal ( δέκατος ) would be much easier in the Greek which is the foundation of our Syriac text. I have been unable to consult Lagarde's Psalterium Hieronymi xiv, to which he refers in his Symmicta II 188.
314. Lit., "gave."
315. Cf. SG, p. 59. The confusion of Epiphanius is a reflection of a similar confusion in LXX, which identifies the ephah with the "three measures" (Exod. 16:36), and again identifies the seah with the ephah (I Sam. 25:18) and with the metretes (I Kings 18:32). Even the familiar "three measures of meal" of Matt. 13:33 and Luke 13:21 are a rendition of the Greek σάτα τπέα .
316. Lit., "bread that is hidden."
317. I Chron. 2:18f.;cf. LXX.
318. Cf. R. Payne Smith, Thesaurus Syriacus, col. 488.
319. Cf. Gen. 35:19 and 48:7; R. Payne Smith, loc. cit.
320. B omits Beth. Cf. I Chron. 2:51 and 4:4.
321. B omits the first letter; cf. LXX of I Chron. 2:51.
322. 1 Chron. 2:18.
323. It. Payne Smith, loc. cit.
324. Lit., "the name was named."
325. John 6:51.
326. The margin gives κανα , which is found in Gen. 40:16, 17, 18; Exod. 29:3, 23, 32; Lev. 8:2.
327. Cf. p. 13, n. 19.
328. Cf. Hultsch, Gr. und röm. Metrologie, p. 452, incl. footnote.
329. Cf. @@@; Marcus Jastrow in his Dictionary of the Targumim, the Talmud Babli and Yerushalmi, and the Midrashic Literature (London, 1903) says this is synonymous with the Aramaic @@@.
330. Apparently deriving nevel from the Aramaic root @@, which in the hiphil means "lead, carry, bring."
331. The Syriac text could be read "ass," but the margin says, "that which is drunk and not that which brays."
332. I.e., a short distance from place to place, as the original Greek might more exactly express it.
333. Cf. Hultsch, op. cit., p. 587.
