The Oxyrhynchus Papyri, Part 8 (1898) - Page 27

1\. After "tabernacle," AFM add "of testimony." 2-3. Aᵃ omits "and... altar." 4\. "And when" original: "ὡς δέ": so the cursive w (Athens, National Library 44); cf. the Lyons Octateuch "when it was finished" original: "cum autem consummaret"; "and" in other manuscripts. 7-8. i.e., "the tabernacle was filled" original: "επλησθη η σκηνη". At the end of line 8, either "was able" original: "ηδυ[νασθη" or "was able" original: "ηδυ[νθη" (AFM) makes a rather long supplement. 10\. "For [it] overshadowed" original: "επ[εσ]κιασε γαρ" is peculiar to the papyrus; "for it was overshadowing" original: "οτι επεσκιαζεν" is in the manuscripts, though the cursive r (Holmes 129 = Rome, Vatican Library, Greek 1252) has "it overshadowed" original: "επεσκιασεν" and x (British Museum, Curzon 66) has "it overshadowed" original: "εσκιασεν"; cf. Armenian, Bohairic, Ethiopic, Lyons Octateuch "overshadowed" original: "obumbravit". 12\. "Was filled" original: "επλησθη": "was filled" original: "ενεπλησθη" F. 13-14. "Now/and" original: "δε": so g (Paris, Royal Greek 5) w and Cyril of Alexandria; "when" original: "δ αν" others. "the... tabernacle" original: "η . . . σκηνης": so AFGM; "the cloud from the tabernacle" original: "απο της σκηνης η νεφελη" B. 18\. "The" original: "της": so AFGM; omitted in B. After "went up," BAFM add "the cloud," which is omitted, as in the papyrus, by G, several cursives (including x), Ethiopic, and Syriac. 24\. "Exodus" original: "εξοδος" is the subscription in BFGM; A adds "of the sons of Israel out of Egypt."

1076. NEW RECENSION OF TOBIT ii.

9.5 × 13.9 cm. Sixth century.

A fragment of the book of Tobit, in a text not otherwise extant. Of the Greek version of this popular apocryphon hidden or non-canonical book there are two main texts: the one represented by the Vatican and Alexandrine codices (BA), the other by the codex Sinaiticus (א). The latter is the longer, though this greater length is due more to verbosity of style than to the incorporation of fresh matter. On
