heading which remains legible {>.iox) suggests that it agreed with a, and proA'es 

 that it differed from B. B has nothing iu common with a : fidelis qiiispinm 

 contra vAtiii carnis et ipsam carnem deprecatur. We may suppose either that 

 Bede here deserted /3, or that the heading of /3 has dropped out of B, and 

 that what remains is only a later note such as we find at Ps. cxiv.' 



Ps. Ivii. prqfeta deniorihus iudaeoruni dicit. 



Here deniorihus is a blunder for de senloribus, which is in o/B. It may be 

 questioned whether a scribe copying from C could have corrected the error. 



Ps. Ixvii. profeta aduentum christi adnuntiat. 



So a. B has resurrectionein christi et posteriorcs glorias for aduentum. 

 Neither heading is very suitable to the psalm ; but the reference to the 

 Resurrection in B is singularly unhappy. We may suspect that in it the 

 rubric has been mangled by scribes. It is supported, however, by L-S. 



Ps. Ixxviii. tiox apostolonim post pasionem christi. 



C agrees with /3 against a, which repeats the rubric of Ps. Ivi.' C;3 have 

 the support of KL'P. Other mss. follow a different tradition, perhaps ItaUan. 

 DFHQT have uoj; inaHyrum de eoi'um effusioiu sanguinis: and M (from 

 Monte Cassino) iiox martyrum. 



Ps. Ixxxii. nox ecclesiae ad de iiuleis et de uitiis hornimim. 



a^ rightly insert dottiinum after ad : an easily made correction, for iwx 

 ecclesiae is almost as regularly followed by ad dominum as uox christi by ad 

 patrem. 



Vs. Ixxxiii. legendus ad euangelium rnathei ad eos qui fidem sunt consaecuti 

 nox christi ad patrem de iiulaeis. 



With this a agrees, and apparently also ji," except that they have de 

 ecclesia, which suits the psalm admirably, for de iudaeis, which does not. 

 C is therefore corrupt. 



Ps. Ixxxvi. uox apustolica. 



aj5 add de ecclesia, which is found also in almost all the MSS., and is 

 obviously correct. 



Ps. Ixxxix. vox apustolica ad dominum. 



So n, against B as printed (apostolorum). But /3 agreed with «.* 



Ps. xc. iiox aecclesias ad christum legendus ad euangelium marci uhi 

 temptattir ch7-istus. 



So a : B has dominum for christum. Here it is probable that /3 agreed 

 with a, B substituting a customary for a rare phrase. 



Ps. xciiL iiox ecclesiae ad dominum de iu de iudeis.
