Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs

Gen. xxx. 8 . Josephus, Ant ., i. 19. 7

Gen. xlix. 21 .

[ Wis. xi. 20; Ecclus. xlii. 7 .]

The Greek text here is obviously corrupt, and doubtless one or two words are wanting. The reading of the Cam. ms. is, οὐκ ἔστιν εἰπεῖν ὅτι ἐν τῷ ἑνὶ τοῖς προσώποις ἢ τῶν ὁμοίων . In the Ox. ms. the passage is wanting.

It seems very doubtful what is meant by κάλαμος here. I have thought it best, therefore, to leave the matter open. The Ox. ms. punctuates στομάχου κάλ .

Cf. Reuben 5 [note 3, p. 10 supra ].

[ Eccles. iii. 5; 1 Cor. vii. 5 .]
