⁴⁰ 16 We have adopted the reading of one V. ms., a0pexrh/sato. It means more than is in the text-that God used the wicked in a way in which they would not be naturally used; lit., "abused," or "misused." The other mss. and the Coptic read a0pexari/sato, "gave His gifts to the wicked for prophecy." Whiston has tried to make sense by giving a new meaning to a0pexari/sato, "taking away His grace from the wicked."

⁴¹ 17 Luke x. 16.

⁴² 18 The Coptic and one V. ms. omit from the commencement of the chapter to "deacons." The V. ms. has: "Peter, the chief of the apostles, proclaimed the Gospel to Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, Bithynia, and finally in Rome, where he was crucified by the prefect in the reign of Nero, and where also he is buried."

⁴³ 19 From this to the end of ch. xxvi., only small portions of what is now in the received text occur in the Coptic version. The Oxford ms. is also deficient. It has only a portion of the fifth, nothing of ch. vi. to xvi., and only a single sentence in ch. xxii. The portions in Coptic are printed in italics.

⁴⁴ 20 Omitted in one V. ms.

Afterwards he was removed to Constantinople by the Emperor Constantine."
