Synopsis
Excerpt from A Few Notes on the Gospels According to St. Mark and St. Matthew: Based Chiefly on Modern Greek
When I was engaged in translating the Gospels into Romaic,1 I had occasion to. Examine closely a number of passages which seemed to me to have been misinterpreted; in some instances because the force of the Greek had been misunderstood, and in others because the text was corrupt. In the following pages will be found a few brief Notes in which some of these passages are discussed. So far as I know, the suggestions which I offer are now put forward for the first time. If, however, it should happen that any of them have been anticipated by others, I trust that the omission to acknowledge the fact will be ascribed not to unwillingness or negligence, but to the circumstance that, being a busy man, I have not had the leisure to read all the oommen taries which have been written on the Gospels.
