The list of the Limoges version differs only slightly from that of 
the lectio. Israel has been added, and Zacharias has been dropped. 
These changes are not weighty, however, since Israel is mentioned 
in the original lectio, 76 and Zacharias is sufficiently represented by 
his wife Elisabeth. 77 Although neither list is thoroughly chrono¬ 
logical, the Limoges version shows certain improvements in this 
respect. 78 The first six names are in approximately chronological 
order, with Israel appropriately at the head. David, as progenitor, 
appears appropriately enough after the first six witnesses and imme¬ 
diately before the contemporaries of Christ. The pagan witnesses 
are left in their original position, and in chronological disorder 
among themselves. 
The detailed resemblances between the testimonies in the lectio 
and those in the dramatic text of Limoges may be conveniently seen 
in the following comparison: 
75 In each column I present the names in the order of their appearance in the 
text itself.

77 See Sepet, p. 16. 
78 The chronological disorder still remaining in the Limoges version is ob¬ 
served by Sepet, pp. 84-85.
