Semitic construction is supported by E though in a shghtly
corrupted form. Hence it must be preserved, though as I
pointed out in 1893, there is according to E the loss of t&v
yiy&vTu^v before a(f &v. This very phrase, moreover, r&v
yiyiLVTit^v is found in G», though this version inserts after it
a gloss (?)
containing the names of the three orders of giants
as they are given in the Targum of Jonathan on Gen. e^"*.
The text and notes are accurately edited, but there are some
errors. In v. 6 Radermacher reads ot ajxiavToi as an emendation
of the corrupt reading which he says is ajxa \
as Bouriant and Lods stated.
toi and not aixapTrjToi,
Bouriant and Lods were certainly
wrong, and Dillmann's edition and mine, which were necessarily
based on the work of these scholars, shared in their error. The
autotype reproduction of the text was not published till after
the issue of these editions. But if Bouriant and Lods deciphered
the MS. wrongly, so also has Radermacher. It reads a!j.ap\Tot.
The p is partially obliterated, but it is unmistakable in the
photographic reproduction of the MS. Hence we might possibly
emend afiaproi into avapLaprriToi, but certainly not into a\xiavToi.
Notwithstanding, this forms a serviceable edition of the Greek.
Another fragment is found in a Vatican Greek MS., No. 1809,
written in tachygraphie characters. This was published by Mai,
Pairnm Nova BMiotlieca, tom. ii, and deciphered by Gildemeister
in the ZDMG., 1855, pp. 621-624, and studied afresh by von
Gebhardt in Merx' Archir, ii. 243, 1872. Besides the above,
references to or Greek quotations explicitly or implicitly from
Enoch are found in the Ep. of Barnabas (see iv. 3 ; xvi. 4, 6)
Justin Martyr, Apol. ii. 5 ; Athenagoras in his Upea-^iCa, x
Clement Alex., JSclogae Prophet, iii. 456 (ed. Dindorf) ; iii. 474;
Strom, iii. 9; Origen, Contra Celsum, v. 52, 54; In loaunem,
vi. 25 (Lommatzsch, i. 241); Clementine Homilies, viii. 12.
Since these last afford but slight help in correcting the text, we
shall do no more here than refer to Lawlor's article on this subject
in the Journal of Philology, xxv. 164-225, 1897.
1 I have given the idiom in Hebrew, though the original was in Aramaic.
