    necwn in |, 124 f., but more probably that reading, if correct (see note), is a genuine variant, as to turn necaw@neninpocwmnon (or Eninpocwmnonnecaon ?) into nponecawn requires greater careless- ness than this scribe normally shows, unless indeed unusually narrow columns be supposed in his archetype: — eninpo CWNON MECwWN As is usually the case with the papyrus or vellum MSS. found in Egypt, the text is of a somewhat eclectic character. The collation here given is with the text of (von) S(opEN), whose “symbols, though not yet generally adopted, are therefore used. It may be explained that K stands for the xo.v4, or Antiochene recension, Hf for the Egyptian recension (Hesychius), and J for the Palestinian recension (Pamphilus-Eusebius, at Jerusalem). The types of the last-named are distinguished as a, b and c, subdivided by numbers,.1, 2, 3. B appears-.as' 61, x as 62, and A as 64. For the other numbers reference must be made to VON SODEN. In one or two cases (ll. 49, 127 f.) our text agrees with K against H and many of /, but its general affinities are neither with K nor with H, but with /, and in particular with /“. It fairly often agrees with 1026 (D, Claromontanus) and 1028 (G, Dresden, Kgl. Bibl. A. 1455), but at other times differs from them. On the whole, however, it may be reckoned as approaching most nearly to voN Sopen’s type /?. Genuine variants not re- corded in S. are ll. 54 (Tmn nneymatran?:), 8g (rinHcee, but see above), 98 (Alo), 115 (uncertain); and perhaps 38 f. (cympopon) and 124 f. (nponecwn); but it will be seen that none of these is absolutely certain. Fragment 1a./ Del. ar. Colas PLM E zee ok 20 [AIC E]N nn ey
