Note 150 — Chapter III · THEORY AND PRAXIS OF THE TEXTUAL CRITICISM OF THE NEW TESTAMENT.[129]

The converse occurs in Eusebius, Eccl. Hist., iv. 15, in the address of Polycarp’s Martyrium. There the reading κατὰ Πόντον, which is also found in the Syriac, should, according to Harnack’s Chronologie der altchristl. Lit., i. 341, be replaced by κατὰ πάντα τόπον, or rather by κατὰ τόπον which is found in 1 Macc. xii. 4; 2 Macc. xii. 2. Compare also the variation found in the manuscripts in 2 Cor. x. 15 between κοποις, πονοις, and τοποις, and between ποτος and τοπος in Judith vi. 21. See also Eusebius, Eccl. Hist., v. 15, 23.
