Introduction

78^. Of the four names of the moon which are liere transliterated,
three are Hebrew only, Asonja, i. e. V'^^, Ebla, i. e. i^J^p, and Benase,
i. e. 'I??"!?.
80^ See note in loo.
82-"'- See note in loa.
821^. ' Tam'aini and Sun.' These two names are one, i. e. 'iO'''!' tJ'OB'.
This is Hebrew, and not Aramaic.
Chapters 83-90. From a Hebrew (or Aramaic '/) original.
89**. The emendation suggested here is possible both in Hebrew
and Aramaic.
90i3a, 16a. In the duplicate version which we have of these verses,
' shepherds ' in 90^^ corresponds to ' ravens ' in 901".

is right. The corruption can be explained from a Hebrew back-
ground, Cy'l, corrupt for D'^lV, or from an Aramaic pyT, corrupt for
pmw.
ggi^ib, 16b. In the former ' cried to ' corresponds to ' vs^ere gathered
together ' in the latter. Now the former = iKpai^ov = IpV]! or ^PV^),
and the latter IpM^ or 'pSJS^ in Hebrew. But this explanation is
impossible in Aramaic ; for though pvt and pys occur in the sense
of ' to cry ', no mood of this verb is used in the sense of ' to
assemble '. For this word they use tyu.
90^*- covered them. The Ethiopic expression here is not good
Ethiopic, but reproduces the Greek iKaXvij/ev iir airov's, which in turn
is a literal rendering of n.T^y nD:i (Hebrew), or |ini5>y (or 'DD) KSn in
Aramaic.
90^''. 'I saw those sheep tburning and their bones burningf.'
This clause is obviously corrupt. In ' bones ' there appears to be
a mistranslation of the late Hebrew DVJf or the Aramaic ,013, which
literally mean ' bone ' or ' bones ', but which when compounded with
' ' a suffix = self ' or selves '. The participle is then a doublet.
' Hence we have myi HDVy HNTn INSn snxi = I saw those very
sheep burning ' This is possible also in Aramaic.
i ' 9()38 ffiig jji-gt among them became the lamb.' The lamb ' =
rbon, which was corrupted into n?Bn, as Goldschmidt has pointed
out, whence the corruption in the Ethiopic text ' the word ' This
explanation is possible also in Aramaic.

93'. Text reads ' after him ' = innx, which I take to be corrupt
' for WnK = his posterity '.
