Codex 1 '-. 

 Fragm. "r'-=. Gregory 0112 (Sd s 46). 



Summary. 



Contains tlic double ending of .Mark. 



Text .... Resembles B and L. 



Date .... VII C. 



Place .... Egypt. 



Inferences The Gospel was known in three forms, the short Gospel, 

 the Short Ending, and the Long Ending. This knowl- 

 edge is to be traced to Egypt. 



Discussion. 



As regards the contents and arrangement of the endings there is a 

 close resemblance between Codex T^^ which contains both, and L. 

 Notice that v. 8 is followed by the customary subscription suayyeAiov 

 xaTa Mapxov showing that it was ultimately descended from an 

 archetype which ended here, — as do B S and Ss, — to which the sub- 

 scription was appended. In L the subscription is wanting but the 

 end of the Gospel at this point is indicated by ornamental marks 

 in the last line of the column. 



2. The note in smaller characters preceding the Longer Conclu- 

 sion EITIN AE KAI TAVTA (I)EP()]V1ENA META TO E(I)OBC)rNT() 

 TAP is identical with the note in L but is not surrounded by orna- 

 mental lines. 



3. Burkitt points out that as the column in the MS consists of 

 twenty-five lines, five lines are wanting before -raU'^a xal oaozoc and 

 he restores these lines as follows : 



nANTA AE TA IIA 

 PHrrEAMENA TOII 

 nEPI TON nETPON 

 irNTOMLiI EEHP 

 FEIAAN IVIETA AE 



He alsc^ suggests that, as the note before the Longer Ending, whicli 

 is common to this MS and L, is here written in smaller characters, 

 it is quite possible that the note found in L before the Shorter Ending 

 <I>EPETE nor KAI TAVTA may have stood before his reconstruc- 

 tion. SM^ete inserts this reconstruction in his presentation of his 

 evidence.
