CHAPTER 6

Act_6:3. Ἁγίου ] is wanting in B D à , 137, 180, VSS. Chrys. Theophyl. Deleted by Lachm. Tisch. Born.; the Syr. expresses κυρίου . A more precisely defining addition (comp. Act_6:5), which is also found inserted at Act_6:10.

καταστήσομεν ] Elz. has καταστήσωμεν , against decisive evidence. An over-hasty correction.

Act_6:5. πλήρη ] A C* D E H à , min. have πλήρης , which, although adopted by Lachm., is intolerable, and is to be regarded as an old error of transcription.

Act_6:8. χάριτος ] Elz. has πίστεως , contrary to decisive evidence. From Act_6:5.

Act_6:9. καὶ Ἀσίας ] is deleted by Lachm., following A D* Cant. It was easily overlooked after ΚιλικΙΑΣ ; whereas it would be difficult to conceive a reason for its being inserted.

Act_6:11. βλάσφημα ] D has βλασφημίας . Recommended by Griesb. and adopted by Born. But ῥήματα βλάσφημα was explained by the weakly-attested βλασφημίας (blasphemies) as a gloss; and this, taken as a genitive, thereupon suppressed the original βλάσφημα .

Act_6:13. After ῥήματα , Elz. has βλάσφημα , against a great predominance of evidence. From Act_6:11.

After ἁγίου , Elz. has τούτου , which, it is true, has in its favour B C, Tol. Sahid. Syr. utr. Chrys. Theophyl. 2, but was added with reference to Act_6:14, as the meeting of the Sanhedrim was conceived as taking place within the area of the temple court.
