^{page 33 note 66} The ink of Codex II is thought to contain a substantial amount of iron. Where a letter-stroke has become dim or has been partly rubbed away, a faint trace of ink usually remains on the papyrus in the exact form and ductus of the original letter and will fluoresce intensely when exposed for a few seconds to ultraviolet radiation.

^{page 33 note 67} “Das Wesen der Archonten” [“Sche.” in the list of sigla] 76 note 2.

^{page 34 note 68} Bauer (Lexicon, echō §1. 2a) illustrates this double accusative construction as follows: “The object in the accusative is often used with an adjective or participle: ἔ. ἅπαντα κοινά, have everything in common Acts 2:44 … ἔ. πολλὰ ἀγαθὰ κείμενα, have many good things stored up Luke 12:19 — Heb 12:1.”

^{page 34 note 69} Presumably the stuff of the body, its passive substance, is female, while the dominating form is male. This principle is enunciated in Hippolytus’ summary of the Valentinian system (Ref. 6.30.8 = p. 158, 7 Wendland [GCS]) when he writes: ἐν μὲν γὰρ τῶ ἀγεννήτῳ, Φησίν (sc. Valentinus), ἐστὶ πάντα ὁμοῦ, ἐν δὲ τοῖς γεννητοῖς τὸ μὲν θῆλύ ἐστιν οὐσίας προβλητικόν, τὸ δὲ ἄρρεν μορϕωτικὸν τῆς ὑπὸ τοῦ θήλεως προβαλλομένης οὐσίας.

^{page 35 note 70} Prof. Nagel has retranslated the text into Greek as follows: τῶν δὲ ἀρχόντων [τὸ σῶ]μα, δ ἔχουσιν θῆλυ, ἅμα καὶ [ἄρρεν ^.] ἐστίν τὰ πρόσωπά ἐστι τῶν θηρίων. ἔλαβον [χοῦν] κτλ. There is nothing in the Coptic text to indicate the words ἅμα καί.

^{page 35 note 71} I cite from the edition of McCown, C. C., The Testament of Solomon (Untersuchungen z. NT 9; Leipzig: Hinrichs, 1922)Google Scholar:

Readers will recognize here a passing usage of Eph 6:12 — superficial to be sure, yet not far removed in spirit from our author's own use of that text (§/).

^{page 36 note 72} Prof. Krause's own translation is very loose: “Die Archonten aber — sie haben einen weiblichen Körper, aber ein tierisches Gesicht — haben genommen” etc.

^{page 36 note 73} The second pe elliptically resumes peteuntauf: sc. “and it is a face with the aspect of a beast (that they have).”

^{page 36 note 74} If h[o] n ho n thērion is too repetitious, h[rb] can be restored.
