The Text of the Septuagint: Its Corruptions and Their Emendation

print στρατεισ, an itacism opposite to that of Hort and his followers
mentioned above. Clearly such itacisms cannot be accented.
24 For the confusion of στρατιά and στρατεία in A', cf. Philo's Bible p. 149.
Confusion of στρατιά and στρατεία in spoken Greek seems unlikely
because of the differences of accent. Philo's pun on ύδρεία watering-place
and υδρία water-pot, post. Cain 137, Αγαρ άσκόν προς τήν ύδρείαν, Ρεβέκκα
δέ ύδρίαν έττιφέρεται, need not indicate that even he pronounced these
words alike.
25 This απαρτία from άτταίρω = SO» from S70) 1 is almost a homonym of
the usual άπαρτιά in its different meanings, some of which are found in
the LXX as well.
26 Also W. Bauer, Wb. §5, when quoting three passages from I Clem. Rom.,
acquiesces in -ία, merely saying 'in mancherlei Schreibung seit Aeschyl.'
(col. 43).
27 Mayser ι 2
3, 34. LS is undoubtedly mistaken in considering έργολάβεια
in Alciphron (IV p
) anything else than an itacism.
28 If we had not these parallels, one might think of άειφυγία exile for life
which is derived from the verb, = τό άεΐ φεύγειν.
29 At any rate the diminutive meaning of -ιον is of later date than the
formation of the compound suffixes -ειον, -σιον and the others, as these
do not share the diminutive meaning (Debrunner, Wb. p. 292 n. 2).
'Quam difficilis esset plerumque distinctio deminutivorum (σιδήριον),
periecticorum (σιδηρεϊον), gentilium (Αθηναίος), propriorum (Αθηναίος),
possessivorum (Ιρμαϊος) et temenicorum (έρμαιον), Grammatici
plurimum operae consumserunt, ut unicuique generi, in quantum fieri
posset, suos terminos circumscriberent; in quo quum nec ipsi secum
consentirent, neque librarios obedientes haberent, tota res turbata est.'
This is the initial sentence of Lobeck's very full and still most useful note,
Phryn. pp. 367-72.
30 So M.-Schw. §1530, pp. 50-5, distinguish between λαμτταδείον
chandelier, torch-holder and λαττμάδιον small torch, άσττιδεΐον part of a shield
and άσττίδιον small shield, έσχαρεϊον scaffolding and έσχάριον small hearth,
κεραμείον potter's worhhop and κεράμιον small jar, λυχνεϊον torch-holder and
λυχνίον lamp, πλινθεϊον big plate and πλινθίον small brick, σκαφεϊον basin
and σκάφιον small bowl, σφαγεϊον sacrificial basin and σφάγιον victim,
offering, χαλκεϊον workshop of the χαλκεύς and χαλκίον copper vessel, χερνιβεΐον
handbasin and χερνίβιον small handbann.
31 Some have already been dealt with in connection with related nouns in
-είδ (λόγιον = fih on p. 41, -όδιον, -έδριον on pp. 39 and 43).
32 Better on p. 466, ' αστείος (aber ράστιος zu ραστός)\ This δστιος =
αστικός, found in some inscriptions, presents an analogy to ττροάστιον.
ττροαστειον also in a scholion on 2 Kings 25: 20 (cod. 243 mg
: Field 1,699).
33 This seems to be better than Palmer, p. 56, who considers -iov Attic,
-εϊον Ionic. In modern Greek χαλκεϊον, a brazier's shop (Palmer), the
function accounts for the formation.
