    95f. KAltoyAena@]: S. nat odd’ cltws, and since the frag- ment containing, in col. 1, the number pmz and, in col. 2, ll. g6-—8, is detached from the rest, it is not possible to say for certain that that was not the reading here; but oya oy would certainly have made 1. 95 project into the margin, and Fwc in |. 96 would indicate a lacuna difficult to fill in 1. 97, since TA would be too short and contra (no other division 1s likely) too long. For oyaena S. quotes [2 1028 (88), The same authorities, with 0d, read eicakKoyceTaM, and in |. 97 CETA, as against rwc in |. 96, would be more manageable than contra, but.on the whole the readings in the text seem the most likely. 98. Very puzzling. S., who has Aéyet xbptog. Mote at yAwooa, quotes no variants to either reading; so that the text here given involves two unrecorded variants, one of them an obvious blunder, but it seems. difficult to escape from it, as all the letters IC Al are practically certain; KC does not seem possible. Alo, though not recorded, is an easy variant; 0 Ic might arise from the scribe’s misunderstanding an abbreviated gloss giving a reference tO HC(AIAC). 103. The traces read el are very faint; of the a at the end very little remains. Between it and o there is a piece of vellum, but the traces which are visible are too indistinct for any reading. Several of the readings of individual letters in ll. 104 and 105 are doubtful, but the text seems established. motevouc is the.reading of S.; [41 1028t yo have microic. 106. oyn: the letters are not perfectly clear, but Oo seems certain. This involves the reading given in the text (so S.) as against 1@t 1028f* etc,, which omit oyn and [/2%26°, which have CYNEICEAOH. rogf. The K reading, against most of the 4 MSS. and [42 10268 etc, is TAWCCAIC AAAQCIN. 110. Most of the dotted letters are very doubtful, and the reading cannot be absolutely vouched for. The a, though faint, is probable, but ¢€ has disappeared from the surface of the papyrus. Leber ERED Ween MA ALAS CMSs) GLEE 200 5G 389 02.87968 eT eo tWits H AMICTON,
