illustrates another kind of combination, in which part of a longer reading is replaced by the whole of the shorter reading: for ἐάν τις ἐκ νεκρῶν πορευθῇ πρὸς αὐτούς or ἐάν τις ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀναστῇ (implied in the Latin reading si quis ex mortuis resurrexerit [v. 1. surrexerit]) א has ἐάν τις ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀναστῇ πρὸς αὐτούς, while two or three other documents retain both verbs. In 1 Cor. i 8 the Latin Vulgate effects the combination by making the one element dependent on the other, changing the Old Latin in adventu Domini nostri (ἐν τῇ παρουσιᾳ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν) into in die adventus Domini nostri by incorporating the Greek reading ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν. Bold conflations, of various types, are peculiarly frequent in the Æthiopic version, at least in the extant MSS.
