proceed from the same original. Further examination shows
that x preserves a purer form of text than the Syn. Gk.
Hence the genealogy of the above documents might be
represented as follows :

Eth. Version Giz. Gk.
I
Syn. Gk.
v. We shall now deal shortly with the general character
of the Giz. Gk. and the Eth. on the score of additions, omis-
sions, and corruptions.
Whilst the undoubted additions in the Eth. are few and
trifling in viii. 1 ; ix. 4; xvi. I ; xx. 6 ; xxii. 12 ; xxiv. 2, there
is a large list of such in the Giz. Gk.—in i. 3, 5, 6, 8, 9 ;
ii. 2 ; v. 1, 2, 6, 8 ; viii. 1 ; x. 1, 8 ; xiv. 4, 20 ; xv. 1 1 ; xviii.
15; xxii. 13; xxiv. 3, 4; xxvii. 2.
As to omissions, the Eth. is almost certainly guilty in i. 1, 9 ;
v - 4, 5 \ ix - 6 ; xui - 8 ; xlv. 25; xv. 1 1 ; xx. 7 ; xxii. 2, 5 ; xxvi. 1 :
but the list of these in the Giz. Gk. is many times larger in
ii. 3; all iii and iv except six words; in vi. 1, 2, 5, 6, 8;
ix. 1, 5, 8 ; x. 10, 16, 19, 21 (?); xii. 3 ; xiv. 3, 4, 14; xv. 2,
4, 8, 9, 10 ; xvi. 1 ; xviii. 3, 11 ; xix. I; xxi. 9; xxii. 5, 8;
xxiv. 1, 2 ; xxvii. 1.
As regards corruptions, both versions are much at fault,
but the Giz. Gk. more so. In the Eth. these corruptions are
either native to the Eth. text or are due to the error of the
translator or are derived from x. There are found in i. 9

however, are more numerous and deep-seated : i. 2, 3, 9 ; v. 1,
