White — Park Mamiscript of St. Patrick's Latin Writings. 545 



Taking up the list of group-readings given on page 213, P agrees 

 with AB in 9 out of the 14 cases cited. Of the 8 instances of the 

 combination BFs, P agrees with all but the first ; of the 10 instances 

 of Boll. F3, P practically agrees with 9. On the other hand, P does 

 not join the group BR or Boll. E, 6 examples of which are given 

 on page 216. 



It may be worth while to note some other readings of B or Boll, 

 which are proved by P to be at least ancient.

Conf. § 19. e(/o enim uero P ; ego uero B ; ego enim others. 



Conf. § 20. cecidit for decidit. 



Conf. § 22. peruenimiis homines-, see note, p. 289. 



Conf. § 24. qui dedit pro te animam mam. The order is different 



in A and in ^Y-^^. 

 Conf. § 27. inuenerimt me aduersus for itm. me et adiiersus. 

 Conf. § 32. piilsaret pro me. Same order in Boll, for pro me 



pulsar et.

 Conf. § 40. iuuenes iorjllii. 

 Conf. § 45. Jierent for fuerunt CF2, fuerant F^. 

 Conf. § 46. per his for pro his. (I had not noticed before that B

 Conf. ^ 53. iudicahant for indicabant. 

 Conf. ^57. ualeo for uideo.

On the other hand, 1^ has some curious agreements with C and 

 also with F4 corr. With C it r^^xd^ gubernator m § 18; it lias the 

 same omissions by homoioteleuton in § 40 ; fecta in § 41 ; inlicitate in 

 § 44 (so also E3) ; generaui in § 51 ; con summa in Ep. § 12. 



It remains that I should give examples of the uniciue readings of 

 P, which deserve consideration as possibly preserving the true text. 

 Of the eight emendations which I adopted from Denis four are 

 actually found in P, as is one of Ware's, and one at which Prof. Bury 

 and I arrived independently, but which I did not actually adopt, as 

 Fi corr. gave a sufiicient sense. 



Conf. § 42. patiuntur ior patuntur, Denis. 

 Conf. § 51. caperent for caperet, Denis.
