page 455 note 6 dzmari da navġeli shezavebuli (ed. Abuladze, p. 41, l. 12) ‘vinegar and gall mingled’, cf. dzmari navġelit shezavebuli (ev. Matth. loc. cit.) ‘vinegar mingled with gall’.
page 456 note 1 movida idumal (ed. Abuladze, p. 39, l. 27) ‘came by stealth’ (Lang's trans.); cf. dzrcoda mistvis romeli-igi qo man idumal ‘she was trembling about that which she had done secretly’ (Mark v. 33).
page 456 note 2 E.g. the wording of Matt. x. 32 (ed. Abuladze, p. 31, ll. 14 ff.; Lang, p. 96) accords fairly closely with the Adysh Ms, while the voice at the baptism (ed. Abuladze, p. 38, l. 29; Lang, p. 105) uses a vocabulary and order attested in the other four tetraevangelia known from publication (see p. 453, n. 1 above) and cf. the divergent textual data of Matt. xxvii. 34 and Mark v. 33 just referred to (p. 455, n. 6 and 456 n. 1). The student innocent of Georgian may check such points through the painstaking work of Molitor, J. in the following: Synopsis Latina evangeliorum ibericorum antiquissimorum (CSCO Subsidia t. 24, Louvain, 1965)Google Scholar and Glossarium Latinum–Ibericum–Graecum (CSCO Subsidia t. 30, Louvain, 1967)Google Scholar where a close and literal equivalence of translation is established and adhered to, not always to the enhancement of the Latinity, but certainly to the instruction of the textual scholar.
page 456 note 3 This is not to say that Diatessaric traces are not present in the separated gospels in Georgian: but that the harmony here discussed is posterior to the translations known to us and not their antecedent.
