Μωσῆς (constantly so in the text. Rec. [in Strabo (16, 2, 35 ed. Meineke); Dan. ix. 10, 11, Sept.], and in Philo [cf. his “ Buch ν. ἃ. Weltschopf.” ed. Miiller p. 117 (but Richter in his ed. has adopted Μωῦσῆς)], after the Hebr. form Aw, which in Ex. ii. 10 is derived fr. Aw to draw out), and Mwic4s (soin the Sept. [see Tdf.’s 4th ed. Proleg. p. xlii.], Josephus [“in Josephus the readings vary; in the Antiquities he still adheres to the classic form (Μωσῆς), which moreover is the common form in his writings,” Miiller’s note on Joseph. ὁ.

Miiller on Joseph. c. Ap.1.c.; Stanley in B.D. s. v. Moses; Schenkel in his BL. iv. 240 sq.]. From the remarks of Fritzsche, Gesenius, etc., it is evident also that the word is a trisyllable, and hence should not be written Μωυσῆς as it is by L Tr WH, for ov is a diphthong, as is plain from ἑωυτοῦ, τωὐτό, Ionic for ἑαυτοῦ, ταὐτό; [cf. Lipsius, [N, v: ν (ἐφελκυστικόνῚ, cf. W. §5,1b.; Β.9 (8); Tdf Proleg. p. 97 sq.; WH. App. p. 146 sq.; Thiersch, De Pentat. vers. Alex. p. 84 84. ; Scrivener, Plain Introd. etc. ch. viii. § 4; Collation of Cod. Sin. p. liv.; see s. vv. δύο, εἴκοσι, πᾶς. Its omission by the recent editors in the case of verbs (esp. in 3 pers. sing.) is rare. In WH, for instance, (where “the omissions are all deliberate and founded on evidence ”) it is wanting in the case of ἐστι five times only (Mt. vi. 25; Jn. vi. 55 bis; Acts xviii. 10; Gal. iv. 2,— apparently without principle) ; in Tdf. never; see esp. Tdf. u.s. In the dat. plur. of the 3d decl. the Mss. vary; see esp. Tdf. Proleg. p. 98 and WH. App. p-146sq. On ν appended to accus. sing. in a or ἢ (4) see ἄρσην. On the neglect of assimilation, particularly in compounds with σύν and ἐν, see those prepp. and Tdf. Proleg. p. 73 sq.; WH. App. p. 149; ef. Β. 8; W.48. On the interchange of ν and vy in such words as ἀποκτέννω (ἀποκτένω), ἐκχύννω (ἐκχύνω), ἔνατος (ἔννατος), ἐνενήκοντα (ἐννενήκοντα), ἐνεός (evveds), ᾿Ιωάννης (Iwdyns), and the like, see the several words. ]
