Accordingly [Greek: apo Theou hagioi] is found in C, two cursives, and Didymus[85].

Then, (3), another variant crops up, (viz.

[Greek: hypo] for [Greek: apo]--but only because [Greek: hypo] went immediately before); of which fresh blunder ([Greek: hypo Theou hagioi]) Theophylact is the sole patron[86].

The consequence of all this might have been foreseen: (4) it came to pass that from a few Codexes, both [Greek: apo] and [Greek: agioi] were left out,--which accounts for the reading of certain copies of the Old Latin[87].

Unaware how the blunder began, Tischendorf and his followers claim '(2)', '(3)', and '(4)', as proofs that '(1)' is the right reading: and, by consequence, instead of '_holy_ men of God spake,' require us to read 'men spake _from_ God,' which is wooden and vapid.
