The Appendices to the Gospel according to Mark. 419 



and cursive writing. It occupies five lines, before each of which is 

 found an asterisk in red. Burgon says the capitals themselves are 

 in red, but this does not seem to be mentioned in Martin's discussion. 

 Opposite the last line of v. 8 of the text, in the outer margin, is 

 found an asterisk, and at the end of the same line, next the inner mar- 

 gin, is found a sign. These are signs of reference, frequently found 

 in this MS. Between verses 8 and 9 are written in uncials abbre- 

 viations indicating, "End of the second gospel of the Resurrection," 

 and in the inner margin, opposite the beginning of v. 9 the signs which 

 indicate "Third gospel of the Resurrection ; the same gospel at matins 

 on Ascension Day." At the close of v. 20 in red is the usual final

 to a Maximus Panagiota " Protokanonarchen von Gallipoli." 



Cursive 274 witnesses to the fact that in the section where it was 

 copied the Longer Conclusion was alone considered authentic, but 

 the scribe added the Shorter Conclusion, which he evidently considered 

 unauthentic but interesting, and which quite probably he copied from 

 another MS (cf. Harclean Syriac), in the lower margin, inserting an 

 asterisk opposite v. 8 to show where its connection with the text 

 had been. 



The Freer Logion 



Jerome, in his dialogue between a Catholic Atticus and a heretic 

 Critobulus, which he wrote at Bethlehem in 415 A.D., makes 

 Atticus say : 



" In quibusdam exemplaribus et maxime in Graecis codicibus, juxta 

 Marcum in fine eius evangelii scribitur : 



Postea cum accubuissent undecim apparuit eis lesus et ex- 

 probravit incredulitatem et duritiam cordis eorum, quia his qui 

 viderant eum resurgentem non crediderunt. Et illi satisfaciebant 

 dicentes : Saeculum istud iniquitatis et incredulitatis sub Satana^
