26, instead of 'Judas Iscariot the son of Simon' the Revisers require us henceforth to read, 'Judas the son of Simon Iscariot.' And _why_?
Only, I answer, because--in place of [Greek: Ioudan Simonos IskarioTEN] (in vi.

71) and [Greek: Iouda Simonos IskarioTE] (in xiii.

26)--a little handful of copies substitute on both occasions [Greek: IskarioTOU].

Need I go on?
Nothing else has evidently happened but that, through the oscitancy of some very early scribe, the [Greek: IskarioTEN], [Greek: IskarioTE], have been attracted into concord with the immediately preceding genitive [Greek: SImoNOS] ...

So transparent a blunder would have scarcely deserved a passing remark at our hands had it been suffered to remain,--where such _betises_ are the rule and not the exception,--viz.
in the columns of Codexes B and [Symbol: Aleph].
