work_note

Opens mid-verse 36 (continued from p. 83) and breaks off mid-verse 44, which finishes on p. 85. Lines 74-88; marginal numerals 75, 80, 85. ⚠ TRAP ON THIS PAGE, worth naming: at line 82 the superscript 40 is the VERSE number, and it sits close enough to the outer margin to read as one of the marginal line numbers. The marginal line numbers on this page are 75, 80 and 85 and they are set further out. Do not infer a line-numbering restart from it.

status

keyed from Nestle; checked against BFBS 1905-1920 at leaf n17 (printed p. 6, which carries Matt 5:33-45; the running-head letter there was not read closely enough to cite, so the page is identified by its printed arabic number and its verse content)

diff

AGREEMENT: verse division 36-44; the consonantal sequence of vv. 38-44 read against n17; seyame absent where Nestle has none.

⚑ v. 37 (lines 76-77). Nestle: ܡܠܬܟܘܢ ܆ ܐܝܢ ܐܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܠܐ ܂ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܝܬܝܪ ܆ ܡܢ ܒܝܫܐ ܗ̄ܘ ܂ The BFBS line at n17 appears to carry an additional ܕܝܢ in this clause (ܡܕܡ ܕܝܢ ܕܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܝܬܝܪ). Read as PROBABLE, not certain — the word sits mid-line in a dense setting and was not re-zoomed. Recorded as a flag: if it holds, it is a second edition-level divergence of the same kind as the v. 14 transposition.

⭐ v. 44 — THE LONG READING, and both witnesses have it. Nestle prints the full four-limbed form (ܐܚܒܘ ܠܒܥܠܕܒܒܝ̈ܟܘܢ ܆ ܘܒܪܟܘ ܠܡܢ ܕܠܐܛ ܠܟܘܢ ܆ ܘܥܒܕܘ ܕܫܦܝܪ ܠܡܢ ܕܣܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܆ ܘܨܠܘ ܥܠ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܕܒܪܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܩܛܝܪܐ ܘܪܕܦܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ), running from line 88 across the page break into c085-1, and the BFBS text at n17 has the same four limbs in the same order. This is the verse where the Greek tradition splits hardest, so the agreement of two independent PD Syriac editions on the long form is the most substantive positive result of the whole diff.
