Among the peculiarities of style noted by Dr. Holtzmann which recur in the omitted portions the following are perhaps some of the more striking.  Peculiar use of [Greek:  to] covering a whole phrase, i. 62 [Greek:  to ti an theloi kaleisthai], xix. 48, xxii. 37, and five other places.  Peculiar attraction of the relative with preceding case of [Greek:  pas], iii. 19, xix. 37, and elsewhere.  The formula [Greek:  elege (eipe) de parabolaen] (not found in the other Synoptics), xiii. 6, xx. 9, 19, and ten times besides. [Greek:  Tou] pleonastic with the infinitive, once in Mark, six times in Matthew, twenty-five times in Luke, of which three times in chap. i, twice in chap. ii, iv. 10, xxi. 22.  Peculiar combinations with [Greek:  kata, kata to ethos, eiothos, eithismenon], i. 9, ii. 27, 42, and twice. [Greek:  Kath’ haemeran], once in the other Gospels, thirteen times in Luke and Acts xix. 47; [Greek:  kat’ etos], ii. 41; [Greek:  kata] with peculiar genitive of place, iv. 14 (xxiii. 5) [Endnote 224:1].  Protasis introduced by [Greek:  kai hote], ii. 21, 22, 42, [Greek:  kai hos], ii. 39, xv. 25, xix. 41.  Uses of [Greek:  egeneto], especially with [Greek:  en to] and infinitive, twice in Mark, in Luke twenty-two times, i. 8, ii. 6, iii. 21, xxiv. 51; [Greek:  en to] with the infinitive, three times in St. Matthew, once in St. Mark, thirty-seven times in St. Luke, including i. 8, 21, ii. 6, 27, 43, iii. 21.  Adverbs:  [Greek:  exaes] and [Greek:  kathexaes], ten times in the third Gospel and the Acts alone in the New Testament, i. 3; [Greek:  achri], twenty times in the third Gospel and Acts, only once in the other Gospels, i. 20, iv. 13; [Greek:  exaiphnaes], four times in the Gospel and Acts, once besides in the New Testament, ii. 13; [Greek:  parachraema], seventeen times in the Gospel and Acts, twice in the rest of the New Testament, i. 64; [Greek:  en meso], thirteen times in the Gospel and Acts, five times in the other Synoptics, ii. 46, xxi. 21.  Fondness for optative in indirect constructions, i. 29, 62, iii. 15, xv. 26.  Peculiar combination of participles, ii. 36 ([Greek:  probebaekuia zaesasa]), iii. 23 ([Greek:  archomenos on]), iv. 20 ([Greek:  ptuxas apodous]), very frequent. [Greek:  Einai], with participle for finite verb (forty-eight times in all), i. 7, 10, 20, 21, 22, ii. 8, 26, 33, 51, iii. 23, iv. 16 ([Greek:  aen tethrammenos], omitted by Marcion), iv. 17, 20, xv. 24, 32, xviii. 34, xix. 47, xx. 17, xxiv. 53.  Construction of [Greek:  pros] with accusative after [Greek:  eipein, lalein, apokrinesthai], frequent in Luke, rare in the rest of the New Testament, i. 13, 18, 19, 28, 34, 55, 61, 73, ii. 15, 18, 34, 48, 49, iii. 12, 13, 14, iv. 4, xiii. 7, 34, xv. 22, xviii. 31, xix. 33, 39, xx. 9, 14, 19.  This is thrown into marked relief by the contrast with the other Synoptics; the only two places where Matthew appears to have the construction are both ambiguous, iii. 15 (doubtful reading, probably [Greek:  auto]), and xxvii. 14 ([Greek:  apekrithae auto pros oude
