Hunt. 17 therefore witnesses to the fact that there once existed 

 Bohairic MSS of two types, both ending apparently with the Shorter 

 Conclusion, but one type simply adding the shorter ending to v. 8 

 without modification, and the other modifying v. 8 so that it 

 would not contradict the Shorter Ending, perhaps, as Zahn sug- 

 gests, by inserting tliis ending between the earlier and later por- 

 tions of V. 8 



The other Bohairic MS which contains the Shorter Conclusion in 

 the margin is British Museum Oriental 1315, again a Coptic-Arabic 

 MS whose date is 1207 A.D. This MS is " profusely glossed in Arabic " 

 and in the text follows D, Copt. Arab. Rom. Vat. 9 (Greg. 30) ex- 

 cept in the early chapters of Luke. Horner's presentation of the tes- 

 timony of this MS which he calls E in his discussion of the text, is as 

 foUow^s : 



"After V. 8, is the break which marks the end of verses in all 

 MSS, and in it a sign corresponding to the two similar signs in the 

 margin, which seem to indicate an omitted section : then in the 

 lower margin is written by the original hand : 



'In another writing : and all things which the}^ .ordered Peter, 

 he did them quickl}^ (o-l»vt6[^o)<;) : and after these (things) Jesus 

 manifested himself to them : from the risings of (the) sun until his 

 settings ; by them he sent the preaching, holy, unpolluted, for (lit. 

 in) eternal salvation.' 



"This section is translated thus [in Arabic]: 



'And all things which he ordered to Peter, they did them de- 

 cidedly (decisively) ; and after this Jesus appeared to them from the 

 risings of the sun to her settings, and by their means he sent the 

 Gospel, pure (holy), without pollution.' 



"There is also a gloss [in Arabic]: 

 'in the copy of the Sa'id' which belongs to the translation." 



This gloss, according to Horner's edition of the Sahidic (p. 636) 

 refers to the Sahidic copy. 



Horner holds that "unpolluted" and "salvation" show that the 

 form of his latter MS is more correct than that found in Hunt. 17, 

 and that the absence of the confused addition of the latter, which he 

 considers a version of the gloss of L indicates that it goes back to an 

 earlier and more intelligent copyist. The readings of Or. 1315 seem 

 to associate it more closely with the Greek, with k, and with the Syriac, 

 while the closest ally of Hunt. 17 seems to be the Ethiopic, which
