WK Translation Notes

+
a
9:16: Some MSS. omit the word "two" myriads. The common text, read by many MSS., turns out to be that of the Sinai MS., and its equivalent in sense appears in the Alexandrian and the Porphyrian uncials, and very many others.
b
The Edd. omit "and" before "I heard," which T. R. inserts.
