[735] Aethiopic, Roman edition 1548 A.D.
[736] Cassiodorus.

ἐπὶ τὸν μηρόν. א omits ἐπί.

16. ἐπὶ τὸ ἱμάτιον καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν μηρόν. See crit. note. The meaning probably is “on the vesture of His thigh,” i.e. on the border of His cloak. Strangely enough the name of a statue was sometimes put on the thigh; this possibly suggested the image: the vesture is mentioned to shew the name was not on the flesh.

βασιλεὺς βασιλέων καὶ κύριος κυρίων. Cf. Revelation 17:14, and θεὸς τῶν θεῶν καὶ κύριος τῶν κυρίων καὶ βασιλωὺς τῶν βασιλέων Daniel 4:31 (LXX.). Βασ. βασιλέων is found on Parthian coins.
