24. PePkrjfievos. Eth. 7£v0fl>, i.e. 7repip\r)pa, but probably a cor-
ruption of 7£V(M1 = nepififfiXrjpevos (?) or 7T€piKeKaXvppevos. As is
clear from ver. 25, Enoch is prostrate. pefiXrjpevos, therefore, is
to be accepted. Hence, for ' I had had . . . trembling ' read I had
been prostrate on my face and trembling, clkovo-ov. See Crit. Note,
p. 82. For Xoyov fxov a.Kovo-ov Eth. has Xoyov pov ayiov, where ayiov
is a corruption of aKovo-ov. Hence, for ' hear My holy word ' read
hear My word. 25. kol 7rpoo-€Xda>v . . . pe may be a gloss.
XV. 1. 6 av6pa>7ros ... 6 ypapparevs. An erroneous repetition of
later words. Add CD before fl£»rt* with Gk. and connect the words
as in Gk. Hence, for ' with His voice : " I have heard, fear not,"
read and I heard His voice: * Fear not.' 2. Before nopevd. Eth.
adds Kai, and omits it after it. After dire I have added with Eth.
rot? eyprjyopois tov ovpavov, and after ae, tov it. av. epeoTrjaai. 3. Before
&cnrcp I have added Kal with Eth. iavTols. Eth. omits wrongly.
