In v. 11 ???±???„???»??? is curiously substituted by A for
???±???„?…?»?????; in v. 13 ???±?„?µ?†?????????…?? for ???±?„?µ?†?????????…??. Both these are
suggestive of carelessness or of error _ex ore dictantis_ (Scrivener,
_N.T. Criticism_, ed. 2, p. 10). In v. 36 the substitution of ?‡?µ???????‚ for
???????…?†??†?‚ is peculiar. The alteration of gender in v. 17, ????¶?±?? for ????¶???? in
its first occurrence, but not in its second, may come under the head of
those "somewhat officious corrections" with which the editors of I.
Macc. in the _Camb. Bible for Schools_ (p. 48) charge this MS., as
likewise perhaps the reading ???±???????‰?? for ?„??????‰?? in v. 10.
Q not unfrequently agrees with it in differing from B. It stands alone,
however, in reading ???±????? for ??±?µ?????? in v. 22, and in omitting the last
six words of v. 41, perhaps as improbable when coming from Cyrus.
Together with A, it contains an additional clause in v. 24, putting
words into Cyrus' mouth which connect the two stories together. ?“,
