Soutlu'rn Dialect, otherwise called Sahidic and Thebaic. Oxford, 

 Clarendon Press, 1911. In regard to his sources the editor says: 

 "Two general observations may be made in regard to the whole 

 body of fragments. The first is the freedom from corrections and 

 the consistency of the orthography of individual MSS. . . . Only 

 one MS appears to have been extensively corrected. The second 

 observation is the unanimity of the readings. Variants appear, as 

 is only natural in so large a number of MSS of different dates, but 

 the variants are few, and their scarcity may be connected with the 

 fact that so many of the fragments have come from the same place, 

 the White Monastery." 



We are able to call attention to a MS in this version containing the 

 double ending of Mark which has not, so far as we are aware, been 

 included in any previous discussion of our problem. This is a frag- 

 ment brought from Egypt by M. Weill in 1905, who seems to have ob- 

 tained it in Cairo. A few leaves of the same MS were obtained by 

 Sayce, and one leaf is in the Bodleian. 



Folio 162b of this Sahidic MS (Weill 16 which Horner calls 108 in 

 his edition) contains the Shorter Conclusion, followed by the custo- 

 mary note, and the Longer Conclusion. It is interesting to note that 

 preceding Luke, in this MS, is found an imperfect list of tituli of his 

 Gospel, reminding us in this respect of L. The MS is dated by Horner 

 in the eleventh century and he translates the text as follows : 



And when they had heard they came out of the sepulchre, and 

 they ran, for trembling was laying hold on them, and a confusion ; 

 and they said not a word to anyone, for they were fearing. But 

 all the things which were ordered them, to those who followed 

 Petros they said openly. After these (things) also again Jesus was 

 manifested to them from the place of rising of the sun unto the place 

 of setting. He sent through them the preaching which is holy and 

 incorruptible of (the) eternal salvation. 



But these (lit. those) also belong to them : 

 But a trembling was laying hold on them and a confusion ; and 

 they said not any word to any one, for they were fearing. But when 

 he had risen in (the) morning of the first day (lit. day 1) of the week, 

 he was manifested first to Maria the Magd(alen)e this (one) out of 

 whom he cast seven demons. That (woman) went, she showed to 

 those who had been (lit. were) with him, as they mourn and (weep). 

 They also (again), when they had heard that he is living and that 

 she saw him, were unbelieving. But after these (things) to two 

 of them, as they walk, he was manifested in another form, as they 

 go into the (field). (But) after these (things) to the (twelve he was
