may be remarked, that like them, it couples the latter part of 

 the chapter in which tlie period consumed in the building of 

 ■the temple is recorded with the first verses, mentioning the 

 year of its foundation ; while the Complutensian Greek, ad- 

 heres to the Hebrew reading: it is also not to be overlooked, 

 that Origen denominates the second month " nisan," instead of 

 Zif, which all the MSS. and versions retain without variation, 

 so that, perhaps, we are not pushing the argument of induc- 

 tion too far, in assuming tliis, as another observable instance 

 of a quotation alledged from memory; and if, on a compari- 

 son of the parallel passages 1 have produced, it should appear 

 that the Sixtine version is, p''0^«^/^ that which was used by 

 Origen, it must not be forgotten, that it refams the interval 

 from the exod, which the learned author supposes to have 

 been omitted in Origen's copy : — perhaps a more accurate 

 collation of the passages quoted in his works, with the Six- 

 tine version would go strongly to confirm its identity with the 

 copy he used.
