That many copies of the Old Latin (not of the Vulgate) recognize [Greek: hoti], besides the Peshitto and the two Egyptian versions, is not denied.

This is in fact only one more proof of the insufficiency of such collective testimony.

[Symbol: Aleph]AB with the rest of the uncials and, what is of more importance, _the whole body of the cursives_, exhibit [Greek: hote],--which, as every one must see, is certainly what St.John wrote in this place.

Tischendorf's assertion that the prolixity of the expression [Greek: ephonesen ek tou mnemeiou kai egeiren auton ek nekron] is inconsistent with [Greek: hote][101],--may surprise, but will never convince any one who is even moderately acquainted with St.John's peculiar manner.
The same mistake--of [Greek: hoti] for [Greek: hote]--is met with at ver.
