472. 1. (The extract comes from the work of John of Dara De resurrectione corporum.) Marg. 'He is a heretic, and not holy'.
474. 3. A similar passage of Sev. is published in Gr. in Mai, Class. Auct., X, 456; but this differs considerably from our text and appears to come from a commentary on S. Luke.

479. 2. Zach. Rh., iii, 1; P. O., II, 104.
486. 1. In Z this comes in the work of Peter against Damian, and, as G (2) has the same version, the compiler must have taken the extracts from the Syr. version of Peter's work, not directly from Sev.
487. 1. The grammar is here confused.
493. 4. A. v. (G [1]) ins. 'concerning God' and om. 'about the Son'.

499. 1. Gen., iii, 16, 17, 19.
501. 3. The substantive has perh. fallen out.
504. 1. Marg. 'everything that is is included in that which has past, and in the things that are present and in the things that are future'.
506. 3. Ibid., 35; Matth., i, 21 (?).
536. 3. I cannot render this otherwise, but do not follow the argument.
546. 3. We rather require 'been subject to'; but an emendation cannot be made without violent alteration. But cf. p. 202, 1. 10.
561. 1. Ex., xxiii, 13, 24, 25.
562. 2. Lev., xvi, 10. I do not follow the argument in this passage.

567. 2. Heb., ix, 26, 28; x, 12.
577. 2. This passage to 'kin' (p. 215,1.1) is published in Greek in Cramer, Cat. in Act. Apost., p. 108.
578. 1. Lev., XVIII, 6. What follows to 'ever' (1. 6) is in Cramer, l. c., headed met' o)li/ga.

601. 2. A.v, (G (1)) 'spiritual'.
603. 4. A. v. (G (1)) ins. 'and made'.

664. 2. Ep. v, 1 after exile (see text, p. 249). A so-called life of Anastasia (there called 'patrician') exists in Add. 14649 (f. 99v), but is historically worthless. This letter was written after the work against Julian of Halicarnassus (p. 272), but the allusion to Isaiah (ibid.) forbids a late date.
667. 3. This passage down to the citation is published in Greek in Mai, Class. Auct., X, 431, under the heading S. ei0j to_ kata_ Louka~n.
674. 7. This passage to the end of the paragraph is in Mai, p. 430, 456 (cf. Corderius, Cat. in Luc., p. 321). Here the sentences are in a different order, and are sometimes shortened.

730. 1. A letter to Anastasia which is probablv this exists also in Coptic in Vat. Copt. 11 (Assem., B. O., I, 618). '
732. 2. As it appears from the preface to ep. 69 that A. had already addressed questions to Sev., I place ep. 70-72 about the same time.
747. 3. Sc. ptw~ma, the word which is used for 'corpse'.
750. 3. A. v. (V) 'men pass their'.
751. 4. A. v. (V) 'of these also'.

789. 3. This must be Sev., and the word is therefore the insertion of a scribe or of the compiler of the ins.

1162. 2. This passage to 'distresses' (l. 8) is published in Greek in S. V. N. G., IX, 729; but the words from 'in that' to the end of the citation following are there omitted, and the text is thereby rendered meaningless.

I have, on account of its historical importance, included this Coptic fragment, supplied by Mr. W.E.Crum, by kind permission of the authorities of the MetropolitanMuseum of Art, New York, in whose volume on the «Monastery of Epiphanius» it will eventually appear. Mr. Crum states that it is written on a limestone ostrakon, found with many others in a ruined monastery in W. Thebes, during excavations carried out by the New York Museum, and that its date is about 600. The translation is Mr. Crum's, and the subject of the fragment is clearly the events which preceded the expulsion of Macedonius from the see of Constantinople.
