It is tiought that the reiterated iomplaining cry of the

(a) that a literal (and preternatural') exudation of
blood is intended ; (6) that the sweat-drops rrre?nbled
blood-drops in colour, size, abundance, or the like; (6)
that the expression is to k taken rhetorically, somewhat
as the modern 'tears of blood.'
It is to be observed that uu. rs f are absent from
many MSS (see the diicurrion in WH261if). It is a
question whether they were suppressed by the 'orthodox'
(bp866o€o~ 6k d+Lhovro rb P?rbr, Epiphaniur, Animat
31). OT whether they are to be regarded as a later insertion,
explicable perhaps on some such principle as
that suggested above in col. 1808, middle. Among the
most recent commentators Holtzmnnn accepts them as
genuine, whilst R. Weirs rejects them. There is a
recent dircurrion of the subject by Harnack (SEA W,
zgaz, 251.~55). who holds it to be cerain that UNA
give an intentionally shortened text, and places the
excision perhaps in the beginning of the recond century,
bbt also many decades later. His argume,,ts
are four: (r) Every feature in the disputed passage
which can be compared with certainly genuine Lucan
passages bears the Lucan stamp. (2) There ir no
direct evidence that the words were wanting in the
MSS. before 300. whilst Jnstin. Tatian. and 1renaeus
attest them for the first half of the recond century. (3)

cannot, it is true, give a full ans\.er to the quentlon
