Note 90 — Chapter II · MATERIALS OF THE TEXTUAL CRITICISM OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. (continued 2)

In Tischendorf’s critical apparatus these fragments are indicated as Syrp(osterior) or as Syrwhit(e). It would be better to use the symbol Syrpo(lycarp) for the first version of 508 made by Polycarp for Philoxenus, and Syrtho(mas) for Thomas of Harkel’s recension of 616. Gebhardt’s notation is as follows:—Syra is the Curetonian; Syrb is the Peshitto; Syrc is the Harklean, of which again Syrct is the text, Syrcm the margin, Syrc* sub asterisco; Syrd is the Jerusalem Syriac; while Syrbodl is the text of 2 Peter, 2 and 3 John, and Jude. Zahn proposes to indicate the Philoxenian (Tischendorf’s Syrbodl) by Syr2, and the Harklean by Syr3; for the Gospels he would employ Syrc, Syrs, Syrh; Syr1, therefore, is the Peshitto.
