Rainoldes. But I think it rather the translators fault. For Marianus Scotus doth cite out of Methodius the same touching James, that they ordained him Bishop of the Apostles. lWhich (belike) was taken out of the story of Eusebius done into Latin by Rufinus. And he hath erred often in in turning Greek writers: as also his translation of Josephus showeth. Though I may not charge him with all the faults therein. For where it is avouched by msome that Josephus holdeth the books of Maccabees to be holy scripture, as in deed he seemeth to do *in the Latin: in the Greek he saith not any such thing, nay nhe doth teach the contrary; but it is unlikely this came from Rufinus, owho held him self the Maccabees not to be canonical. Howbeit if you say that the Greek copy which he translated of Eusebius, had that word amiss through the scriveners fault: I will not strive against you. But a more certain example of the faultiness in scriveners first, and printers after, is found in pOptatus: in that he affirmeth, Peter was called Cephas because he was head of the Apostles; Apostolorum caeput Petrus, unde & Cephas appellatus est. Upon the which place qyour lawyer doth note, that where he had thought it to be an oversight of a man dreaming that the Syriac word, which signifieth a stone, is the Greek [Greek or Hebrew], which signifieth a head: now he guessed rather that the words [unde & Cephas ⟨p. 504⟩appellatus est,] were some foolish gloss, written rashly in the margin, and then interlaced into the text by scriveners.
