Quidam rex nomine Johel, nuptias faciebat in regione Orientis, in Cana Galilaeae. His nuptiis invitati sunt plures. Igitur qui temperius loti in Jordane, adfuerunt in convivio. Tunc commendavit Naaman, aquam sparsit Amos, Jacobus et Andreas attulerunt foenum, Matthaeus et Petrus straverunt, mensam posuit Salomon, atque omnes discubuerunt turbae. Sed cum jam locus recumbentium plenus esset, qui superveniebant, quisque prout poterat, locum sibi inveniebat. Primus itaque omnium sedit Adam in medio, Eva super folia, Cain super aratrum, Abel super mulgarium, Noe super arcam, Japhet super lateres, Abraham sub arbore, Isaac super aram, Loth juxta
A certain king named Joel was holding a wedding in the region of the East, in Cana of Galilee. Many were invited to this wedding. So those who had washed in good time in the Jordan were present at the banquet. Then Naaman commended [it], Amos sprinkled water, James and Andrew brought hay, Matthew and Peter spread [it], Solomon set the table, and all the crowds reclined. But when the place of those reclining was already full, those who kept arriving each found a place for himself as he could. So first of all Adam sat in the middle, Eve on leaves, Cain on a plough, Abel on a milk-pail, Noah on the ark, Japheth on bricks, Abraham under a tree, Isaac on the altar, Lot beside

"The poor." I have restored this word, which was missing in the printed editions, from three manuscripts, which were also of use for correcting the rest; for the editions read thus: "The rich brought to poverty, made heirs, slaves ruling, those subject to lordship called to the kingdom." Pamelius reads "dominatui". MARAN.

Deinde supervenit Jacob cum filiis, et Laban cum filiabus suis, et sederunt super lapides. Venit et Abraham cum domesticis suis et Moyses cum caetera turba, et sederunt foris. Tunc respiciens Rex invitatos suos, sic ait: « Unusquisque vestrum veniat in vestiarium meum, et dabo singulis coenatorias vestes. » Tunc aliqui ierunt, et acceperunt.

in the dung. Then Rebecca held out a cloak, Judith a covering, Hagar a blanket; Shem and Japheth covered [him].

Then Jacob arrived with his sons, and Laban with his daughters, and they sat upon stones. Abraham too came with his household, and Moses with the rest of the crowd, and they sat outside. Then the King, looking at those he had invited, spoke thus: "Let each one of you come into my wardrobe, and I will give to each one dinner garments." Then some went and received them. First of all, then, Zechariah received a white one, Abraham a sparrow-coloured one, Lot a sulphur-coloured one, Lazarus a linen one, Jonah a sky-blue one, Thecla a flame-coloured one, Daniel a lion-coloured one, John a dining-room one, Adam one of skins, Judas a silver one, Rahab a scarlet one, Herodias a hinge-coloured one, Pharaoh a sea-coloured one, Enoch a heavenly one, Hagar a many-coloured one, David a sinew-coloured one, Elijah an airy one, Eve a tree-coloured one, Job a twice-stricken one, Isaiah one split down the middle, Mary a stole, Susanna a chestnut-coloured one, Moses one of shellfish-dye, Abel a purple one, Levi one of broom-fibre, Tamar a coloured one, Azariah one of fine linen, Aaron a murrine one, Judith a hyacinth-coloured one, Cain a rust-coloured one, Abiram a black one, Anna a Persian-coloured one, Isaac a natural one, Paul a Tarsian one, Peter a workman's one, Jacob a false-true one, Jesus a dove-coloured one.

Agar stragulum. Haec desunt in plerisque codicibus mss. Non pauci habent cooperuerunt recumbentes, unus Colbertinus cooperuerunt se.

"Let each one … come … and I will give." So we have corrected, with most manuscripts agreeing, except that some have "in my wardrobe"; the editions: "Whoever of you will come … I will give." Pamelius added "one each", a word I have seen in only one manuscript.

Joannes triclinam. Trichinam legendum esse observat Salmasius annot. in Trebel. Pol. p. 342, in uno ex regiis codicibus legitur triginam.
"John a triclina." Salmasius, in his notes on Trebellius Pollio, p. 342, observes that "trichina" (a hair garment) should be read; in one of the royal manuscripts "trigina" is read.

"Isaiah a mesotropa." The second of the Colbert manuscripts has "mesotrata", a word that seems more apt to indicate that Isaiah was sawn through the middle. Perhaps "mesotreta" would be a better reading.

In hoc opere, quod manu exaratum habebat penes se Salmasius, sic legebatur. Heleiae pulchra filia, Secura per pomaeria, Susanna fert castaneam.
"Susanna a chestnut-coloured one." Salmasius, in his notes on Vopiscus, p. 410, advises that this be read for "castalinam". He confirms this observation by the authority of Azelinus, a monk of Reims, who rendered this Supper in rhyming verse some centuries ago. In that work, which Salmasius had in his possession in manuscript, it read thus:

Caeteri codices hanc lectionem confirmant, quorum multi habent pseudoallechinam vel pseudoallecinam: editi alethinam. Joannes legitur pro Jacob in sex codicibus mss.
"Jacob a false-true one." So one of the royal manuscripts. Salmasius too testifies that he read so in an old manuscript (notes on Trebellius Pollio, p. 342). The other manuscripts confirm this reading, many of them having "pseudoallechinam" or "pseudoallecinam"; the editions "alethinam". "John" is read for "Jacob" in six manuscripts.

Explicitisque omnibus, omnes locis suis resederunt. Tunc intulit panes Saul, fregit Jesus, tradidit omnibus Petrus, intulit lentem Jacob, solus manducavit Esau, intulit intritam Abacuc, totum comedit Daniel, fabam intulit Amelsad, prior gustavit Misael. Sed, quoniam haedum coctum comederat Isaac, et piscem assum Tobias, coepit tumultuari Aeglom. Valde esuriebat Daniel, panem petebat Hermocrates; non manducabat Joannes, nihil gustaverat Moyses, jejunus fuit Jesus, micas colligebat Lazarus. Caeteri autem partes suas tenebant, quas ex variis venationibus acceperant. Abraham vitulinam, Esau cervinam, Abel agninam, Noe arietinam, Samson
each of you, one by one, has done your turns." And so they carried out the services assigned to them. First of all, then, Elijah asked for fire, Azariah kindled it, Sarah handed over wood, Jephthah gathered it, Isaac brought it, Joseph chopped it, Jacob opened the well, Zipporah handed over hyssop, Daniel stood by the pit, the servants brought water, Rebecca carried the water-jar, Noah brought out wine, Hagar carried the wineskin, Judas brought silver, Abraham led in a calf, Rahab tied it, Jesus handed over a cord, Elijah bound its feet, Peter handed over a knife, Daniel struck it down, Cain killed it, Habakkuk carried it, Absalom hung it up, Elijah stripped off the hide, Hermocrates opened the belly, Tobias hung up the entrails, Herod poured out the blood, Shem threw out the dung, Japheth added water, Elisha washed it out, Peleg made the portions, Auses counted them, Molessadon put in salt, Jacob added oil, Antiochus put it on the hearth, Rebecca cooked it, Eve tasted it first. And when everything had been done, all sat down again in their places. Then Saul brought in loaves, Jesus broke them, Peter handed them to all, Jacob brought in lentils, Esau alone ate them, Habakkuk brought in a pottage, Daniel ate the whole of it, Amelsad brought in beans, Mishael tasted them first. But since Isaac had eaten the cooked kid, and Tobias the roasted fish, Eglon began to make an uproar. Daniel was very hungry, Hermocrates was asking for bread; John was not eating, Moses had tasted nothing, Jesus was fasting, Lazarus was gathering crumbs. The rest, however, held on to their portions, which they had received from various hunts: Abraham veal, Esau venison, Abel lamb, Noah mutton, Samson

leoninam, Elisaeus ursinam: majorem tamen partem tenebat Benjamin. Postmodum dedit panes Pharao, omnibus divisit Joseph, discum attulit Herodes, partes composuit Rebecca, intulit Jacob, distribuit omnibus Noe. Primus ergo sustulit Joannes caput, cerebellum Abessalon, linguam Aaron, maxillam Samson, auriculam Petrus, oculos Lia, cervicem Holophernes, arterias Zacharias, collum Saul, armora Agar, interanea Jonas, fel piscis Tobias, cor Pharao, renalia Esaias, latus Adam, costam Eva, ilia Maria, ventrem Sara, vulvam Elisabeth, adipem Abel, femora Abraham, caudam Moyses, crura Loth, pedes Jacob, ossa collegit Ezechiel. Item Jacobus et Andraeas intulerunt pisces: sustulit itaque asellum Jesus, labeonem Moyses, lupum Benjamin, mugilem Abel, muraenam Eva, pellamidem Adam, locustam Joannes, gladium Cain, captionem Abessalon, polypum Pharao, turpitudinem Lia, auratam Thamar, scarum Agar, cantharidem David, halecem Joseph, saxatilem Hieremias, umbras Lazarus, soleam Juda, hirundinem Tobias, argentillum Judas, sepiam Herodes, carnutam Esau, glauculum Jonas, alopidem Jacob, salpam Molessadon, denticem Esaias, araneum Thecla, coracinum Noe, rubellionem Rebecca, lacertum Golias, maenam Maria, et leonem Samson. Posuit et Jonas acetum, Molessadon salem misit, prior intinxit Cain. Explicitisque omnibus, dedit adipem Abel, mel Jonatas, lac Abraham, conspersit Sara, dulcia fecit Jesus, perministravit Paulus. Sed, quoniam aliquot genera vini habebant, passum bibebat Jesus, Marsicum Jonas, Surrentinum Pharao, pellinum Adam, Gaditanum Moyses, Creticum Isaac, Adrianum Aaron, arbustinum Zacchaeus, arsinum Thecla, Albense Joannes, Campanum Abel, Signinum Maria, Florentinum Rachel. Saturatione vini sopitus jacebat Adam, ebrius obdormivit Noe, satis biberat Loth, stertebat Holophernes, somnus tenebat Jonam, vigilavit prope gallum Petrus, suscitabatur Jesus, surgere quaerebat Jacob, prior surrexit Labam. Tunc miscuit scyphum Benjamin, intulit Martha, prior bibit Petrus. Sed, quoniam vinum subduxerat
the lion's [portion], Elisha the bear's; but Benjamin held the larger part. Afterwards Pharaoh gave out loaves, Joseph divided them among all, Herod brought a platter, Rebecca arranged the portions, Jacob brought them in, Noah distributed them to all. So John first took the head, Absalom the brain, Aaron the tongue, Samson the jaw, Peter the ear, Leah the eyes, Holofernes the nape of the neck, Zacharias the windpipe, Saul the neck, Hagar the shoulders, Jonah the entrails, Tobias the gall of the fish, Pharaoh the heart, Isaiah the kidneys, Adam the side, Eve the rib, Mary the groin, Sarah the belly, Elizabeth the womb, Abel the fat, Abraham the thighs, Moses the tail, Lot the legs, Jacob the feet, Ezekiel gathered the bones. Likewise James and Andrew brought in fish: so Jesus took a cod, Moses a labeo, Benjamin a sea bass, Abel a mullet, Eve a moray, Adam a young tunny, John a lobster, Cain a swordfish, Absalom a captio, Pharaoh an octopus, Leah a turpitudo, Tamar a gilthead, Hagar a parrotfish, David a cantharis, Joseph a halec, Jeremiah a rockfish, Lazarus umbras, Judah a sole, Tobias a flying fish, Judas a silverfish, Herod a cuttlefish, Esau a carnuta, Jonah a glauculus, Jacob a thresher shark, Molessadon a saupe, Isaiah a dentex, Thecla a weever, Noah a coracinus, Rebecca a rubellio, Goliath a mackerel, Mary a sprat, and Samson a leo. Jonah also set out vinegar, Molessadon sent salt, Cain dipped first. And when everything had been served, Abel gave fat, Jonathan honey, Abraham milk, Sarah sprinkled, Jesus made the sweets, Paul waited on them throughout. But, since they had several kinds of wine, Jesus drank raisin wine, Jonah Marsic, Pharaoh Surrentine, Adam Pelline, Moses Gaditan, Isaac Cretan, Aaron Adrian, Zacchaeus arbustine, Thecla Arsine, John Alban, Abel Campanian, Mary Signine, Rachel Florentine. Overcome by his fill of wine Adam lay asleep, Noah fell asleep drunk, Lot had drunk enough, Holofernes was snoring, sleep held Jonah, Peter kept awake near the cock, Jesus was being roused, Jacob was trying to get up, Laban got up first. Then Benjamin mixed the cup, Martha brought it in, Peter drank first. But, since Amelsad had drawn off the wine

Amelsad, et male miscuerat Jonas, murmurabat Hermippus, aquam bibebat Joannes, vinum petebat Maria, non consentjebat Susanna, plenam ampullam ferebat Martha, sitiebat Ismael, ire volebat Tobias, alienum calicem bibere volebat Jacobus. Sublatisque omnibus, aquam ad manus petebat Pilatus, tradidit Judas, ministrabat Martha, effudit Hermocrates, linteum porrexit Petrus, intulit lucernam Esaias, gratias egit Simeon, benedixit Anna, intulit coronas Rachel, David hyssopum porrexit, dedit unguentum Maria, perunxit Martha, poma intulit Adam, favum porrexit Samson, cytharam percussit David, tympanum Maria, psalterium duxit Jubal, choros duxit Judith, cantavit Asael, saltavit Herodias, laudes dedit Azarias, magis lusit Mambres, risum fecit Isaac, osculum porrexit Judas, valefecit Loth. Et cum vellent discedere, respiciens eos rex, sic ait: « Nunc per omnia diem nuptiarum celebrate, et frequentate, et demutate habitus, velut pompas facientes; sic ite in domos vestras. » Placuit vero omnibus voluntas regis: atque ita primus omnium procedit in magistro Jesus, in custode Joannes, in retiario Petrus, in secutore Pharao, in venatore Nemroth, in delatore Judas, in hortulano Adam, in exordiario Eva, in latrone Cain, in pastore Abel, in cursore Jacob, in sacerdote Zacharias, in rege David, in cytharoedo Jubal, in piscatore Jacobus, in coquo Antiochus, in aquario Rebecca, in furnitore Ananias, in bestiario Thecla, in stupido Molessadon, in religioso Salomon, in ministra Martha, in milite Urias, in insano Herodes, in famulo Cham, in medico Tobias, in ebrio Noe, in risiculo Isaac, in tristi Job, in judice Daniel, in fabro Joseph, in prostituta Thamar, in formosa Rachel, in odibili Lia, in domina Maria, in impio Loth, in adversario Amalech, in structore Sem, in rusticulo Esau, in forti Golias, in pistore Hieroboam. Sed, quoniam contendebat Dina; aquam effundebat Aaron, et nudus erat Jonas; tunc solem petebat Auses ut siccaretur Bersabee. Quo facto, jussit eos rex ad se venire; qui venerunt altera die et munera ei obtulerunt. Primus
and Jonah had mixed it badly; Hermippus was grumbling, John was drinking water, Mary was asking for wine, Susanna would not agree, Martha was carrying a full flask, Ishmael was thirsty, Tobias wanted to go, James wanted to drink another's cup. And when everything had been cleared away, Pilate asked for water for his hands, Judas handed it over, Martha served, Hermocrates poured it out, Peter held out a towel, Isaiah brought in a lamp, Simeon gave thanks, Anna blessed, Rachel brought in garlands, David held out hyssop, Mary gave ointment, Martha anointed, Adam brought in apples, Samson held out a honeycomb, David struck the lyre, Mary the drum, Jubal drew the psaltery, Judith led the dances, Asahel sang, Herodias danced, Azariah gave praises, Mambres played with the magicians, Isaac made laughter, Judas offered a kiss, Lot bade farewell. And when they wished to depart, the king, looking at them, spoke thus: "Now celebrate the wedding day in every way, and throng to it, and change your attire, as though making processions; so go to your homes." The king's will pleased everyone: and so first of all goes forth Jesus as master, John as guard, Peter as net-fighter, Pharaoh as pursuer, Nimrod as hunter, Judas as informer, Adam as gardener, Eve as weaver, Cain as robber, Abel as shepherd, Jacob as runner, Zacharias as priest, David as king, Jubal as lyre-singer, James as fisherman, Antiochus as cook, Rebecca as water-carrier, Ananias as stoker of the oven, Thecla as beast-fighter, Molessadon as fool, Solomon as devout man, Martha as serving-woman, Uriah as soldier, Herod as madman, Ham as servant, Tobias as physician, Noah as drunkard, Isaac as joker, Job as mourner, Daniel as judge, Joseph as craftsman, Tamar as prostitute, Rachel as beauty, Leah as the hated one, Mary as lady, Lot as impious man, Amalek as adversary, Shem as builder, Esau as rustic, Goliath as strong man, Jeroboam as miller. But since Dinah was quarrelling, Aaron was pouring out water, and Jonah was naked; then Auses asked for the sun so that Bathsheba might be dried. When this was done, the king ordered them to come to him; and they came on the next day and offered him gifts. First

itaque omnium obtulit arietem Abraham, taurum Thecla, oviculam Noe, camelum Rebecca, leonem Samson, cervum Esau, vitulum Jesus, jumentum Ja⟨c⟩ob, currum Helias, vestem Judith, crines B⟨e⟩rsabee, ligna I⟨s⟩aac, frumentum Joseph, resinam Ruben, pecuniam Abimelech, strobilos Levi, capsam Moy⟨s⟩es, favum Petrus, copias Abigal. Sed, quoniam ante diem convivii, quaedam de convivio subducta fuerant, jussu regis inquirebantur ab eis. Involverat enim strangulum multicolorium Agar, sigillum aureum Rachel, speculum argenteum Thecla, scyphum bibitorium Benjamin, annulum signatorium Thamar, coopertorium subsericum Judith, lanceam regiam David, alienam uxorem abduxerat Abimelech. Tunc jussit rex, ut omnes qui fuerant in convivio ducerentur ad tormenta. Quo facto, primus innocens decollatur Joannes, occiditur Abel, foras projicitur Adam, timens obmutescit Zacharias, fugit Jacob, queritur Enoch, turbatur Abimelech, immutatur Nabuchodonosor, deprecatur Abraham, transfertur Helias, supprimitur Dina, includitur Noe, impingitur Loth, suffigitur Jesus, damnatur Daniel, accusatur Susanna, alligatur Joseph, occiditur Martha, tollitur Abacuc, bestiis datur Thecla, in fornacem mittitur Ananias, vinculis constringitur Samson, punitur Urias, flagellatur Paulus, tenditur Esaias, expoliatur Jonas, lapidatur Hieremias, excaecatur Tobias, non credebant Moysi, subducitur Abiron, suspenditur Abessalon, confunditur Rebecca, transducitur Agar, arguitur Pharao, relinquitur Dathan, deprimitur Chore, copulatur Isaac,
of all, then, Abraham offered a ram, Thecla a bull, Noah a little sheep, Rebecca a camel, Samson a lion, Esau a stag, Jesus a calf, Jacob a beast of burden, Elijah a chariot, Judith a garment, Bathsheba locks of hair, Isaac wood, Joseph grain, Reuben resin, Abimelech money, Levi pine cones, Moses a box, Peter a honeycomb, Abigail provisions. But since, before the day of the banquet, certain things had been stolen from the banquet, by order of the king they were sought from them. For Hagar had wrapped up a many-coloured coverlet, Rachel a golden seal, Thecla a silver mirror, Benjamin a drinking cup, Tamar a signet ring, Judith a half-silk covering, David the royal lance; Abimelech had carried off another man's wife. Then the king ordered that all who had been at the banquet be led to torture. When this was done, first the innocent John is beheaded, Abel is slain, Adam is cast out of doors, Zechariah in fear falls dumb, Jacob flees, Enoch complains, Abimelech is troubled, Nebuchadnezzar is changed, Abraham pleads, Elijah is carried away, Dinah is overpowered, Noah is shut in, Lot is thrust against [the door], Jesus is fastened [to the cross], Daniel is condemned, Susanna is accused, Joseph is bound, Martha is slain, Habakkuk is carried off, Thecla is given to the beasts, Ananias is sent into the furnace, Samson is bound fast with chains, Uriah is punished, Paul is scourged, Isaiah is stretched out, Jonah is stripped, Jeremiah is stoned, Tobias is blinded, they did not believe Moses, Abiram is taken away, Absalom is hanged, Rebecca is confounded, Hagar is led across, Pharaoh is rebuked, Dathan is left behind, Korah is pressed down, Isaac is wedded,
mittitur Nathan, convincitur Amalech; maledicitur Judas, dehonestatur Mambres, cognoscitur Loth, interficitur Phinees, dimittitur Ophni, timens moritur Heli, comprimitur Dina, decipitur Esau, substringitur Saul, dolet de facto Job, interrogatur Eva, Nescio clamat Cain, tenetur et negat Petrus. Sed quoniam multorum conscientia erat, in furto quod erat suscipiens Raab, quaerebat Laban, infamabatur Susanna, arguebat Joannes, negabat Rachel, docebat Moyses, plorabat Triphaena, observabat Maria, attendebat Onesiphorus, tristis erat Paulus, jurabat Jacob, non credebat Pharao, mentiebatur Hieroboam, pavebat Susanna, erubescebat Rebecca, plangebat Hieremias. Postmodum, scrutatis omnibus, inventum est furtum apud Benjamin, quod erat in conscientia Joseph. Sed, posteaquam probatum est regi quod Achar filius Charmi solus esset reus furti, jussit eum mori donavitque eum omnibus. Tunc, occasione accepta, primus omnium calce eum percussit Moyses, abiit in complexum Jacob, vestem detraxit Thecla, ad terram elisit Daniel, lapide percussit David, virga Aaron, flagello Jesus, medium aperuit Judas, lancea transfixit Eleazar. Tunc jussit uti qui mortuus esset sepeliretur; et vendidit agrum Laban, emit Abraham, Joseph monumentum fecit, et aedificavit Nachor, aromata imposuit Maria, clusit Noe, superscripsit Pilatus, pretium accepit Judas: quo facto gaudens clamat Zacharias, confunditur Elizabeth, stupet Maria, ridebat de facto Sara. Explicitisque omnibus domos suas repetierunt.
Nathan is sent, Amalech is convicted; Judas is cursed, Mambres is dishonoured, Loth is recognized, Phinees is killed, Ophni is let go, Heli dies in fear, Dina is violated, Esau is deceived, Saul is bound, Job grieves over the deed, Eve is questioned, Cain cries "I do not know", Peter is seized and denies. But since many were privy to it, in the theft that had taken place Raab was the receiver, Laban was searching, Susanna was being defamed, John was accusing, Rachel was denying, Moyses was teaching, Triphaena was weeping, Mary was watching, Onesiphorus was paying attention, Paul was sad, Jacob was swearing, Pharao did not believe, Hieroboam was lying, Susanna was afraid, Rebecca was blushing, Hieremias was lamenting. Afterwards, when everyone had been searched, the stolen thing was found with Benjamin, which was within the knowledge of Joseph. But after it had been proved to the king that Achar son of Charmi alone was guilty of the theft, he ordered him to die and handed him over to them all. Then, seizing the opportunity, first of all Moyses struck him with his heel, Jacob went into an embrace, Thecla pulled off his garment, Daniel dashed him to the ground, David struck him with a stone, Aaron with a rod, Jesus with a scourge, Judas opened up his middle, Eleazar pierced him through with a lance. Then he ordered that the man who had died should be buried; and Laban sold a field, Abraham bought it, Joseph made a tomb, and Nachor built it, Mary laid spices on him, Noe shut it, Pilate wrote the inscription over it, Judas received the price: when this was done Zacharias cries out rejoicing, Elizabeth is confounded, Mary is astonished, Sara laughed at the deed. And when everything had been completed, they went back to their own homes.

I.—Narrat Josephus. Stupendissimam hanc narrationem subnectimus, ne quid Cypriano olim appensum desideraretur. Laterem videtur lavare Pamelius, qui notis suis mendaciorum sentinam purgare satagit. OXON.—Narrat Josephus. Lib. nempe XVIII Antiq., c. 10, seu juxta novam versionem 7. Quod ipsum ex illo repetiit Eusebius lib. I Hist. Eccl., cap. 11, seu juxta graecum exemplar 11; et postea Beda in cap. XIV Marci, ubi cum iisdem verbis utatur, atque ideo illinc haec transcripta ad verbum videantur, non sum veritus reponere, in castellum Macheronta abductum. PAM.
I.—"Josephus relates." We append this most astonishing narrative so that nothing once attached to Cyprian should be missing. Pamelius seems to be washing a brick, busying himself in his notes to clean out a bilge of lies. OXFORD EDITION.—"Josephus relates." That is, Antiquities book XVIII, chapter 10, or by the new version 7. Eusebius repeated this very thing from him in Ecclesiastical History book I, chapter 11, or by the Greek copy 11; and afterwards Bede on Mark chapter XIV. Since he uses the same words, and so this seems to have been transcribed from there word for word, I have not hesitated to restore "led away to the fortress of Machaerus". PAMELIUS.

"But after a long time." That is, in the time of Julian the Apostate, says Bede with Rufinus; they also relate more correctly that monks were present at the time when the bones of John the Baptist were being scattered, and did not arrive afterwards. From them too I judge that "Philip" should certainly be read for "Joseph", especially as Peter of Troyes [Peter Comestor] agrees in the Historia Scholastica, not to mention a certain manuscript treatise on this matter, and Ado in his Martyrology for the fourth day before the Kalends of September, who say with Rufinus that these bones were sent to Athanasius by Julian the deacon.

- running head: 931 TRACTATUS DE REVELAT[...] (cut off at the image edge)
- marginal letters: A mus itaque omnium obtulit arietem; B tur ad tormenta. Quo facto; C relinquitur Dathan, deprimitur Chore; D I. Narrat Josephus vinctum fuisse
- old-edition numerals: (none)
- other: column begins with the fragment "mus" (presumably [Pri]mus) carried from the previous column; damaged type in Ja⟨c⟩ob, B⟨e⟩rsabee, I⟨s⟩aac, Moy⟨s⟩es; "Abigal", "multicolorium", "Abessalon" set as printed; "Narrat" printed in small capitals; full-width title "DE REVELA[TIONE] CAPITIS BEATI JOANNIS BAPTISTAE TRAC[TATUS]" stands between the two text blocks, cut off at the right edge, not set; Variae lectiones (EDITIONIS BALUZII ...) after the first block and the COMMENTARIUS at the page foot omitted for the later pass
- other: a full-width band stands across cols 931/932 in mid-page: the 1 paragraph(s) above it in col 932 are set here, after the 1 above it in col 931 (reading order, moved on receipt); the band itself (its title lines) is not set by the volunteer page: set it here, at the move, with full_width
- other: the column continues with I. Narrat Josephus (another unit); not set here

- running head: …S DE REVELATIONE 932 (cut off at the left edge of the image)
- marginal letters: A ‹mittitur Nathan, convincitur Amalech›; B ‹est furtum apud Benjamin›; C ‹omnibus domos suas repetierunt›; D ‹quondam Samaria est appellata›
- old-edition numerals: (none)
- other: the column number in the head looks like 952 in the image, but this is column 932; the full-width title of the new tract (…REVELATIONE / …TISTAE TRACTATUS, INCERTO AUCTORE.) stands between Baluze's notes and the paragraph beginning "quondam Samaria"; it is cut off at the left edge and is not set; Baluze's notes and the Commentarius at the foot are left for the later pass; "cre-" is split at the column break; "Explicitisque" is set as printed and translated as "completed"; "Ophni" is uncertain because of a mark over the i
- other: the 1 paragraph(s) of this column above the full-width band are set under col 931 (reading order, moved on receipt)
- other: the text of this column below the full-width band belongs to the next unit; not set here (rail-only part)
- other (Q1): the page-foot notes of page 457 are set once, in n931; the Baluze notes "Cognoscitur" and "Quaerebat" (n931 notes 2 and 3, there marked "col 931?") key to lemmas in this column (cognoscitur Loth; quaerebat Laban), so they belong to col 932, as does the Commentarius note "Post longum vero tempus" (n931 note 6)
