Κατακυριεύσας, having prevailed against) They irritated the evil spirit.-ἀμφοτέρων, both) More recent copies have αὐτῶν, from the alliteration to the αὐτῶν immediately following.[112] The seven sons of Sceva were wont to do that: two did so in this instance, which Luke records; comp. with this Act 19:13, where the τῶν refers to the seven: the word ΤΙΝῈς, certain persons, refers to the two.

[112] The reading αὐτὼν ἀμφοτέρων is approved of by the margin of Ed. 2: and the word ἀμφοτέρων is exhibited also by the Germ. Vers. The decision of the larger Ed. had been different.-E. B.
Ἀμφοτέρων is supported by ABDd Vulg. later Syr. Αὐτῶν is read by the Rec. Text. Ee omit the words altogether.-E. and T.
