Church History (Historia Ecclesiastica)

= TERDM (coincidence). Two striking variants in Gruter, 252.22 ἀποδέουσα falling short (= Ab) and 256.19 κυρίου of the Lord (τοῦ κυρίου ATER, σωτηρίου BDM saving), are explained by the fact that they fall into the supplemented piece of b (see above). But even if variants from other manuscripts are not hidden to any significant degree in the farrago hodgepodge/mixture, conjectures are certainly present, e.g., 246.11 ἐφ’ upon; 256.5 ἄλλως ἢ διὰ otherwise than through; 266.19 τοῦτον] Τραιανὸν this one] Trajan; 286.11 συγκατατάξας having classified together; 360.18 βιβλίον book; 408.29/30 ὑπερβολὴν excess; 530.10 ἐπαγαγὼν bringing upon; 596.9 ἀθετεῖ rejects; 616.20 ὡς] οὓς as] whom; 646.18 τὶς add. someone added; 680.10 ἐλυμήνατο maltreated; 902.11 ὄντα δὴ τοῦτον ἐδίδασκον κἄπειτα indeed, they taught this one, and then, all readings that Mercati did not find in b. What is noted in Grut. Cast. regarding the Vita Const. Life of Constantine and its appendices does not agree with the readings of M in Heikel [= b] and consists only of, moreover quite poor, conjectures; the notes of Grut. on the writing about the martyrs can be nothing else, since the writing is not in b at all, and its title in the Cast., which stands somewhat shorter but is otherwise essentially the same in Gruter, is certainly a modern fabrication: Eusebius' composition concerning those who testified [were martyred] in his time during the eight-year persecution of Diocletian and the subsequent one of Galerius of Maximinus and after that Concerning those who testified in Caesarea of Palestine during the eight-year persecution that began from Diocletian to Galerius [and] Maximinus.

2. β = Codex Parisinus 1432 [formerly Gallandianus, old number 1903, B in Heikel], parchment, s. XIII/XIV. Folios 1r–149v contain the same as B, only the subscription of the Basilikos Imperial [Orations] is missing; at the end stands remember Longinus the sinner. Folios 150r–197v Vita Const.

pp. 198.13–202.18 exact agreement with B, also in its singularities, such as 198.14 τω add. B^c. 24 τὰ om. 200.11 ἐφέλκοντοσ dragging/attracting. 13 οὖν therefore. 16 ἀνδρῶν om. 17 ἑαυτῶν of themselves. 22 ἐξάραντεσ τὰσ χεῖρασ lifting up the hands; τροφῆσ nourishment. 23/4 ἀπέφερον carried away. Deviations 200.9 ἔπεσον they fell. 22 εἰσ ἐπῆδον into [they] looked/gazed. 202.4 ἁρπασόμενον about to be snatched. 15 φρικώτατον most terrible (φρικτώτατον B).

pp. 354.15–364.2; the agreements with B exactly as in b; 356.14 ἐλάττω lesser like B; of course, the deviations do not go along with b: 354.19 καταρτήσαντοσ having set in order. 23 ὀνομασμένων named. 356.21 ἢ–ἐπίσταται om. 28 ληστὰσ robbers. 358.11 ἦν om. 22 πείθειν om.; τὰ om. 360.11 ἐν τῇ συζυγίᾳ μένουσα remaining in the conjugation/yoke.
