THE CORRECT TEXT OF LUKE ii. 49 57

the Peshitto: "in the house of My Father"; * the Sinaitic
Syriac: "in the house of My Father"; ^ the Armenian: "in
the house of My Father";' the Persian: "in domo patris";*
the Arabic Gosp. of the Infancy: "in My Father's house." *

(6) The Coptic (Boharic) has "in the things of My Father"; «
the Coptic (Sahidic): "in the (things) of My Father"; ' the
Aethiopic: "in his quae (sunt) Patris Mei"; * the Arabic: "in
iis quae PaJ;ris mei";' the Old Latin: "in his quae Patris
mei";!" except Veronensis (&) '^ which has "in propria Patris
mei," and both Vercellensis (a)*^ and Rehdegeranus (1)^' which
have "in Patris mei"; the Vulgate: "in his quae Patris
mei." "

Concerning the Fathers, they are classified elsewhere'^ when we
dealt at length with the question as to what is to be imderstood

versions are not at all at one in their renderings of the ex-
pression. They already raised the question as to what is to be
understood.
6. Instead of slva£ ^s. we find the transposition, [ls elvat in D
i, 13, 69, 118, 6P« it vg.
It is to be noted that D and the numbers of the Ferrar group,
13, 69, and the Old Latin are here again in agreement against the
general consensus of texts which have eJva! /is.
Here, too, the Fathers are naturally on both sides.
