Initium mundi seems to be the simplest examining. it really is probably within the nature of a identify: the correct lxx identify for Genesis is yivecna n6afiov. 1., and so forth. it will likely be saw that most the names of sons and all these of daughters are imaginary. they don't trust different mythical names, e.g. these of Jubilees. For the remaining, the 1st 3 chapters are to a truly huge quantity easily copied from Genesis iv-xi. The spelling of the names is particularly doubtful in lots of instances. the place " ph " happens, it's very usually substituted by way of Sichardus for " f" within the mss.; yet after all the "f" needs to characterize a f, since the textual content has come to us via Greek. i've got accordingly allowed "ph " to face.
