The Causes of the Corruption of the Traditional Text of the Holy Gospels

CHAPTER XIV
67/236

51-6 prefixed to Cyril's fifty-sixth Sermon (p.

353) is the text of B and [Symbol: Aleph],--an important testimony to what I suppose may be regarded as the Alexandrine _Textus Receptus_ of this place in the fifth century.

But then no one supposes that Cyril is individually responsible for the headings of his Sermons.
We therefore refer to the body of his discourse; and discover that the Syriac translator has rendered it (as usual) with exceeding licence.

He has omitted to render some such words as the following which certainly stood in the original text:--[Greek: eidenai gar chre, hoti hos mepo tes neas kekratekotes charitos, all' eti tes proteras echomenoi synetheias, touto eipon, pros Elian aphorontes ton pyri kataphlexanta dis tous pentekonta kai tous egoumenous auton], (Cramer's Cat.ii.p.81.

Cf.
Corderii, Cat.p.263.Also Matthaei.
