Thirdly. It adds and omits a letter as they do. Thus 

 >^ijf4.:]/of/,cci for Xi)4/Oj64a:<. Which is done, according to Smi't/i, in the 

 Cottonian Gofpels ; and occurs very frequently in the Alexandrian^ 

 Teftament of Beza, and Bedes manufcript of the Ads. It

 Specimen, Bibl. Coiilin. p. 262 ; and in the Codex Boer?ierianus, 

 vide Kujfer's Preface. And the lotiic dialed retains p in like 

 manner. Thus, in Herodotus, Wii tb Ss e? to dvoudi^epov iTpuTno, tij» 

 fisv d^ifiv ou Xoifjc^eoci. Po/ymnia, ch. xxxix. See alfo T/ia/ia, ch.

The fame agreement fubfifts between them in the interr 

 pundion. The mofl ancient method of interpundion is by a 

 fingle point, which being placed either at the top, the middle or 

 the bottom of the line, denotes a period, colon or femicolon. 

 This method is ufed here alfo. And the marks of interrogation, 

 which Montfaucon found only in manufcripts from the ninth cen- 

 tury, are wanting. It agrees with them in having no accents
