APPENDIX 3<br />

THE CONTENTS OF THE PSALMS SCROLLS AND<br />

RELATED MANUSCRIPTS<br />

For each entry, <strong>the</strong> Psalms passage indicated in column 1 is followed by<br />

an abbreviated title for <strong>the</strong> relevant scroll (col. 2), <strong>and</strong> an alternative designation<br />

(col. 3). Compositions not found in <strong>the</strong> Masoretic Psalter appear<br />

at <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> listing.<br />

Two types of sigla are used in this appendix: (a) <strong>The</strong> sign X denotes<br />

<strong>the</strong> presence of an additional word, verse, or section not present in <strong>the</strong><br />

Masoretic Psalter: for example, Ps 145:13, X, 14–21, X in col. 17 of<br />

11QPs a (= 11Q5). (b) <strong>The</strong> sign (?) indicates that some doubt exists as to<br />

<strong>the</strong> identification of a particular verse or reading. When it st<strong>and</strong>s to <strong>the</strong><br />

left of an entry, this siglum denotes that <strong>the</strong> complete entity is not certain:<br />

for instance, (?)99:1–2, 5 in 4QPs k (= 4Q92). When written to <strong>the</strong> right<br />

of an entry, it indicates that only <strong>the</strong> specified quantity—usually a single<br />

verse—is not certain: for example, 79:1(?), 2–3 in 4QTanh[ (= 4Q176).<br />
