XI. The Chain of Samaritan High Priests

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  15 March 2011

Extract

The Samaritans possess three Chronicles, written in that mixed Hebrew idiom peculiar to them. In substance idential with one another, they differ in form. One is quite short, the second a little more expanded, and the third a further enlargement of the two previous ones. Of these Chronicles the second has been published by Dr. A. Neubauer, “Chronique Samaritaine” (Asiatique), 1869; and separately, Paris, 1873), from a copy made by the present High Priest under the title Tolidoth (T.).

page 414 note 1 Ch. I 33; II 3923. De Sacy reckons here I 24 (cf. ed. of Ch., p. 37). Evidently some confusion between Nos. 60 and 61.

page 414 note 2 Ch. I 24; II 3944. A mistake, for the exact number ought then to be II 3947!

page 414 note 3 Ch. agrees, and has II 3986! III, wrongly in A 1182.

page 414 note 4 A mistake: 4016.

page 414 note 6 This priest (No. 67) is missing in A.F., who inserts, however, after Yair (No. 68) another High Priest, Netanel I, 41 years; so also Ch. I 41, II 4262; and then both have Yoyaḳim, I 32, II 4294. I have accordingly adjusted the order.

page 414 note 7 A, I 4221, mistake.

page 414 note 8 A.F. inserts here two more names—[75] 'Amram, 11 years; [76] 'Aḳob, 9 years.

page 414 note 9 Ch. I 45, and yet II 4476.

page 415 note 1 A.F. mentions Netanel as the son of Baba Rabbah, but does not reckon him as one of the High Priests. B, which starts here again with No. 85 for 'Aḳabon, must have also omitted Netanel, and counted the two names mentioned after No. 74 by A. F., and thus 'Aḳabon becomes the 85th in the list.

page 417 note 1 B. I have inserted the second part of No. 112 from B dropped out in A, and in No. 113 I have added the figures from B, so as to harmonize the list.

page 419 note 3 Ch. I 11; II 5936. All these figures in Ch. are obviously wrong.
