Footnotes

  1. 34 Behind “his daughter Herodias” is a most difficult textual problem. The reading adopted in the translation, τῆς θυγατρὸς αὐτοῦ Ἠρῳδιάδος (tēs thugatros aujtou herōdiados), is supported by א B D L Δ 565 ; it is also the most difficult reading internally since it describes Herodias as Herod’s daughter. Other readings are less awkward, but they do not have adequate external support. The reading τῆς θυγατρὸς αὐτῆς τῆς Ἠρῳδιάδος (tēs thugatros autēs tēs herōdiados, “the daughter of Herodias herself”) is supported by A C (W) Θ f13 33 𝔐, but this is also grammatically awkward. The easiest reading, τῆς θυγατρὸς τῆς Ἠρῳδιάδος (“the daughter of Herodias”) is supported by f1 , but this reading probably arose from an accidental omission of αὐτῆς in the previous reading. The reading τῆς θυγατρὸς αὐτοῦ Ἠρῳδιάδος, despite its historical difficulties, is most likely original due to external attestation and the fact that it most likely gave rise to the other readings as scribes sought to correct it.
