^{page 509 note 2} I have used two British Museum manuscripts, the well-known one Add. 7628 (fols. 272b ff.), which I call A, and Or. 1684 (fols. 186b ff.), which is late, but occasionally has a better reading than the other.

^{page 526 note 2} There is a gap in A and B. The editor of J. (p. 150) reads here although following the Hebrew or Aramaic. The closest approximation in any of the MSS. of J. is .
