Note 284 — CRITICAL NOTES ON VARIOUS PASSAGES OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. (continued 2)

To these examples, gathered quite incidentally, one might add as many from the Old Testament and other books if one paid any attention to them in reading. Take, for example, Herodotus i. 24. Was the votive offering that Arion set up at Taenarum μέγα or οὐ μέγα? In the Germania xv. 1 did Tacitus say of the Germans “non multum venationibus, plus per otium transigunt,” or “multum venationibus, etc.”? In the new edition of Origen (i. 87, 16) Koetschau reads ἀχρήσιμα where the manuscript and the earlier editions have χρήσιμα, and he lets an οὐκ stand which others omit, etc.
