10 THE CORPUS, EPINAL, ERFURT AND LEYDEN GLOSSARIES
the A-words of Leid. § 47, the last of these being Ep. 2 A 32
(= C. G. L. V 340, 19), Ancones: uncinos. Here is the list of
these nineteen items. (Those which do not appear in Leid. are
put in brackets): Acerabulus: mapuldur, Acrifolius: holegn,
Alnus : : alaer, (Alneum fulae trea), (Abies : saeppae), (Ascella :
ociista), Auriculum :
dros, Harpa: earngeat, Acceia : holthona,
Ardea et dieperdulum: hragra, Aculeum: an^a, Auriculum: eaj^-
wigga, (Aureola :
laam, Aciarium : steeli, Avellanus :
stigu), Alneta : alterholt, Alga : uaar, Argilla :
aesl, Ancones: uncinos. Surely
we may believe that the bracketed items come from the same
source as the rest. And we may
ascribe to a fuller use of the
vegetable sectioii (or sections) of the source the numerous plantnames
which we find in EE and Corpus. We need not add e.g.
the Latin Dioscorides to the sources used. 'Entia non sunt-
multiplicanda praeter necessitatem.' And we regularly find these
47 items.
plant-names in the neighbourhood of the Leid. §
Dr Hessels' apograph of the Leyden MS. breaks up its Phoca&
glosses into two sections, §§ 45-46, because there is (in the MS.)
an entry item alia (like our "
Phocas-glosses continued ") before
§ 46. But we have no reason to believe that these two sections
represent two different MSS. (i.e. the marginalia in two different-
MSS.) of Phocas nor even that they indicate two separate drawings
from the storehouse. From the beginning of § 45 to the end
of § 46 there is a continuous observance of the order of the words''
occurrence in Phocas' Grammar (with a few irregularities which
may or may not have been present in the proto-archetype, the
compiler's own copy). The Rufinus glosses (from Rufinus' Latin
version of Eusebius' Church History) present a different appear-
ance. Dr Hessels exhibits them in three separate sections, §4, §5^
§ 35 ; and it is clear that the real divisions are (1) § 4, 1-110-111
(Defaecatum : liquidum, purum, extersum), a series which follows ^
the order of the words' occurrence in Rufinus' text, (2) §4, 112
(Adigentes :
urgentes)
to the end of §5 (Thoraces: imagines), a
series which is arranged alphabetically (A to T), (3) three series
following the order of occurrence, viz.: (A) §35, 1-74 (with an
appendix, 75-87); (B) §35, 88-247 ; (C) §35, 248-299 (with an
appendix, 300-306). Whether these three series in § 35 represent
different MSS. of Rufinus is a question which need not detain
