The famous uncial MS. of the Libri Rcgiun ex ucrsione Hierony- 

 miana (Ver. [Cap.] II [2]) contains the al:)OYe lectio from Ezekiel on 

 the verso of the first folio. This leaf measures 28.^x23 cm., and 

 has been bound into the tirst quaternion of the MS. The extract 

 is written in a flowing North Italian cursive of the seventh or eighth 

 century ; but it is almost illegible in places, as the leaf has been 

 much rubbed. Maffei annotated it, setting the Vg. readings in the 

 margin ; but I cannot find that he published it ; and as Sabatier 

 knew no pre-Jerome version for this passage except that quoted 

 by Tichonius, who used an Itala very like ours (cf. Eugipp. Exc. 

 274, C.S.E.L. 9, pp. 869—70), it seems worth while to transcribe it 

 here, with a brief commentary upon its variations from the Vg. 

 The passage contains Ezek. 36, 22—28. 



Notes. 



The Latin is characteristically " Merovingian,'" with its confusions 

 of e and i, o and u, c and g. The abbreviations are interesting; 

 //// (3) is one of the earliest occurrences of this form for israel (cf. 

 Traube, Nomina Sacra, 109) ; the same is true of dns (2) for do- 

 niinus \ while pfr (2) for profetae is unique so far as I know, and 

 to be compared with nrt for noster (which, with allied forms, Traube 

 discusses in N.S. 230-31).
