Re: Payne: Vaticanus Distigme-obelos Symbols Marking Added Text, Including 1 Corinthians 14.34–5
We may have to distinguish between what the scribe believed and the basis for his (or her) belief. The scribe may well have believed that the passage was an interpolation. However it seems simpler to suppose that this belief was based on knowledge of manuscripts where the verses occur at a different...

Re: new issue of J. of the Jesus Movement in its Jewish Setting
Tyndale translated ekklesia as congregation because he thought church to be misleading in context.
Later translators reverted to church.

IMHO the symbols at 1 Corinthians 14.34–5 indicate the scribes awareness that these verses occur at a different position in some manuscripts.

Re: Lakuna Markata. The Relationship of Lacunae to Difficult Readings
19 verses is maybe about right for a page of P45. However you can't add a single page. You have to add a whole leaf, 2 pages, which is twice as many verses.

Re: What is the oldest reference to astrological ages of Aries / Pisces / etc?
Astrology and Popular Religion suggests that the ideas concerned only develop in the 18th century CE.
Certainly, professional astrologers until recent times have tended to ignore or minimize the implications of precession.

Re: Lakuna Markata. The Relationship of Lacunae to Difficult Readings
I tentatively think it unlikely that P45 had additional material in chapter 10 of Mark. On a very rough calculation the missing material (end of chapter 9 chapter 10 and beginning of chapter 11) is about 4 pages i.e. about 2 sheets. Adding the Mar Saba material into those 4 pages would probably be d...

oh dear, what would conservative biblical scholars say about this?
