Augustin’s words, sinite illam, ut in diem sepulturæae meæ servet illud, as rendered above, differ considerably from those of our English version, and are more difficult to understand; but they agree with by far the larger number of Greek mss., which read, ῎Αφες αὐτὴν ἵνα εἰς τὴν ἡμέραν τοῦ ἐνταφιασμοῦ μου τηρήσῃ αὐτό. Our English version, “Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this,” is taken from mss. which omit ἵνα, and have τετήρηκεν instead of τηρήσῃ.—Tr.
