Somewhat more difficult to adjust would be Tertullian's relations to the different forms of the Old Latin and Curetonian Syriac.

In one instance, Matt.xi.11 (or Luke vii.

26), Tertullian seems to derive his text from the Dd branch rather than the b branch of the Old Latin.

In another (Matt.iii.

8) he seems to overleap b and most copies of the Old Latin altogether and go to the Curetonian Syriac.
